We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "The Investment Manager Services Division (IMS) at SEI is growing rapidly and is seeking new members on our Private Equity & Hedge Fund Accounting Teams. Our primary goal is to provide exceptional customer service, accounting and administration services to our hedge and private equity fund customers. As a Fund Accounting Manager, you will be responsible for the accounting operations and resolution of accounting issues for clients."
That's about the role.
- "What You Will Do" then a long paragraph describing responsibilities.
- "What We Need From You": BA/BS in Business, Accounting, Finance, Economics, Mathematics or equivalent professional experience. Minimum of 5 years’ experience in the fund services industry, alternatives experience required. Minimum of 2 years’ supervisory or management experience. Intermediate skills in Microsoft Excel.
- "What We Would Like From You": list of attributes: self-motivation, organization, drive; strong written and verbal communication; strong customer service; drive to broaden knowledge; attention-to-detail; collaboration; flexibility; positivity and collegial approach; curiosity, critical thinking and attention to detail; embody SEI Values.
- Then "Please see our website for more information." (maybe drop as link? It's not boilerplate? Might be considered navigation? It's a link to website. Probably we can keep as part of "About the role"? But it's not essential. Might drop as it's not substantive? It's a link for more info, could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. Might keep as a paragraph? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to website is not necessarily those. It's more like "Please see our website for more information." Might be considered generic. Safer to drop? It's not substantive detail about job. I'd drop.
- Then "SEI’s Competitive Advantage To help you stay energized, engaged and inspired, we offer a wide range of benefits including comprehensive care for your physical and mental well-being, a strong retirement plan, tuition reimbursement, support for working parents and flexible Paid Time Off (PTO) so you can relax, recharge and be there for the people you care about. Benefits include healthcare (medical, dental, vision, prescription, wellness, EAP, FSA), life and disability insurance (premiums paid for base coverage), 401(k) match, education assistance, commuter benefits, up to 11 paid holidays/year, 21 days PTO/year pro-rated for new hires which increases over time, paid parental leave, back-up childcare arrangements, paid volunteer days, a discounted stock purchase plan, investment options, access to thriving employee networks and more."
That's benefits.
- Then "We are a technology and asset management company delivering on our promise of building brave futures (SM)—for our clients, our communities, and ourselves. Come build your brave future at SEI." Might be fluff but still substantive? It's marketing. Might keep as part of About the role? Could be separate? Not a defined heading. Probably we can incorporate into About the role paragraph.
- Then "The position title reflected in this job description is aligned with SEI's current internal job architecture. As part of SEI's role and career framework, internal job titles may not directly correspond to external market titles and may differ from titles previously assigned during an employee's tenure or at the time of hire." This is meta, maybe drop as not substantive.
- Then "SEI is an Equal Opportunity Employer and so much more… After over 50 years in business, SEI remains a leading global provider of investment processing, investment management, and investment operations solutions. Reflecting our experience within financial services and financial technology our offices encompass an open floor plan and numerous art installations designed to encourage innovation and creativity in our workforce. We recognize that our people are our most valuable asset and that a healthy, happy, and motivated workforce is key to our continued growth. At SEI, we’re (literally) invested in your success. We offer our employees paid parental leave, back-up childcare arrangements, paid volunteer days, education assistance and access to thriving employee networks. SEI is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law." This is EEO boilerplate, should be removed.
- Then "AI Acceptable Use In The Application And Interview Process SEI acknowledges the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into individuals’ personal and professional lives. If you intend to incorporate the use of any AI tools at any stage of the application and/or interview process, please ensure you have reviewed and adhere to our AI use guidelines." This is application instructions, should be removed.
Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (What We Need From You), Desired Qualifications/Skills (What We Would Like From You), Benefits (SEI’s Competitive Advantage). Possibly also Skills separate? But we can combine desired qualifications into Skills or Qualifications. The instruction: use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include.
We have:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: the long "What You Will Do" paragraph.
- Requirements: education/experience/Excel.
- Qualifications/Skills: the "What We Would Like From You" list.
- Benefits: the benefits paragraph.
No Pay or Schedule info given, so omit those sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.

We need to decide what to make lists.
Responsibilities: It's a paragraph with many sentences; could be turned into a list? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a list of duties; we could break into bullet points. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can convert sentences into list items. That's acceptable.
Similarly Requirements: list of items: degree, 5 years experience, 2 years supervisory, intermediate Excel. Could be list.
Skills/Qualifications: list of attributes.
