Grant Payments Officer - Accounting Officer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually posting includes "About the Paid Leave Division:" but not exactly "About the role". We need to use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have content: About the Paid Leave Division (description). Could map to "About the role"? Probably we can use "About the role" heading and put that description. Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities bullet points. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications? Could be Requirements. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit if not present. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with list. Pay: Salary Range given. Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours and Days of Work. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, EEO, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract substantive info: - About the Paid Leave Division: description (two paragraphs duplicated? Actually appears twice at start: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." repeated. We need to preserve but not duplicate? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we should include the description once. The duplicated block: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities." appears twice at start. We'll include once. Then "About the Paid Leave Division: Paid Leave is a new program that launched in 2026..." etc. Then "Position Purpose: ..." etc. Then "Key responsibilities include:" list. Then "This position is telework eligible." etc. Then "This posting may be used to fill multiple positions. This is a temporary unclassified appointment (TUNC) anticipated to last up to one (1) year." Might be metadata but not required as heading; we could fold into a short p. Minimum Qualifications: bullet list? Actually paragraph with two years experience etc. Preferred Qualifications: bullet list. Additional Requirements: background check etc. Benefits: list. Pay: Salary Range. Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Day Shift, 8:00AM to 4:30PM; Days of Work: Monday - Friday; Travel Required: No. We need to output sections: About the role (maybe combine about the division and purpose). Responsibilities (key responsibilities). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Benefits. Pay. Schedule. We should not include Skills if not present. We need to use

for each section heading. Inside sections, use

for prose,

• for lists. We must not include headings with filler text. Let's craft. Section About the role: combine the introductory paragraph and About the Paid Leave Division and Position Purpose? Might be too much but okay. Better: About the role: include the introductory paragraph and About the Paid Leave Division and Position Purpose. Responsibilities: list from "Key responsibilities include:" plus maybe telework eligible note? Telework could be in Schedule? but we have Schedule section. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications paragraph. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications paragraph. Benefits: list from Benefits. Pay: Salary Range. Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours, Days of Work, Travel Required, maybe also note about telework? Telework eligible is mentioned earlier; could be included in Schedule or a note. Since Schedule section includes work shift and days, we can add telework eligibility as a sentence. Let's extract exact text: Intro paragraph (first occurrence): "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities." About the Paid Leave Division: "Paid Leave is a new program that launched in 2026. The program provides partial wage replacement to Minnesota workers who are out of work due to a qualifying condition, such as a severe health condition that prevents them from working, or when they need time to care for a family member or a new child. We are building a program that will be easy for every Minnesotan to use. We are engaging the people who depend on us—workers, employers, caregivers, and insurers—to learn from them and build the program around their needs. We are using modern service delivery and product practices to deliver the program." Position Purpose: "The Grant Payments Officer exists to process grant payment requests, cash advance requests, financial statement reports and manage federal cash drawdown accounts. Under limited supervision/procedural control, this position provides responsible and mid-level financial management and accounting work for our moderate size department of approximately 1700 employees and over fifty (50) locations, some of which are in Greater Minnesota, in collaboration with the Director of the Office of Grant and Contract Management (OCGM). This position will assist the team lead with the advanced grants payment team in their many day-to-day duties such as grant invoice payments, federal fund drawdowns, overseeing grant cash advances, and resolving complex grant invoice payments and/or drawdowns. While this position is part of DEED’s Administrative and Financial Services division (AFS), it will be primarily focused on supporting the implementation of the new Paid Leave division." Key responsibilities list: - Review, approve and process grant payments so that they are made timely, accurately and per state and federal (when applicable) laws and regulations. - Monitor and maintain sufficient cash in accounts to accommodate spending patterns of various program activities and to stay within federal and state regulations regarding excess cash on hand. - Work with staff in AFS and Paid Leave to support the development and implementation of the new Small Employer Assistance Grants program. - This position is telework eligible. Staff are provided with the tools and equipment to be successful in a virtual work environment. Please note, the telework policy could change with notice based on business needs. - This posting may be used to fill multiple positions. This is a temporary unclassified appointment (TUNC) anticipated to last up to one (1) year. But the last two bullets maybe not responsibilities but metadata. However they are under Key responsibilities? Actually after list they appear as separate sentences. We'll keep them as part of responsibilities? Might be better to keep them as a separate note but not required heading. Could fold into a short p after list. Minimum Qualifications: "Two (2) years* of experience providing administrative support duties for financial records, such as inputting and accessing data into accounting systems, approving and preparing invoices, or processing expenses. Associate’s degree in accounting, finance, or other closely related field as determined by the agency may substitute six (6) months of experience; bachelor's degree substitutes for one (1) year of experience. Applicants that meet the above minimum qualification will be further evaluated on the following: Experience in reviewing and processing grant payment transactions.

Our employees are dedicated to ensuring cultural responsiveness. Preferred candidates will have a variety of experiences working effectively with others from different backgrounds and cultures." Additional Requirements (background check) maybe not needed as heading; could be omitted? It's substantive but not under defined headings. Could be placed under Requirements? But we already have Requirements for minimum qualifications. Could add a subsection? Not required. Might be okay to omit? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Could add a section "Additional Requirements" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put additional requirements under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably under Requirements as extra bullet.
