Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis

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. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract relevant content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Bring YOUR energy to Alliant Energy! At Alliant Energy, our purpose is to serve customers and build stronger communities. We are passionate about powering beyond the market challenges of today, while powering what's next in energy. When our employees say "I am energy", it means they take pride in the work we do when disaster strikes, as well as all the days in between. We want you to be safe, happy and healthy. That's why we prioritize safety, offer volunteer opportunities and provide competitive pay, comprehensive health and retirement benefits, tuition reimbursement and paid time off." This is about company culture, benefits, safety, volunteer opportunities, etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Could be "About the role" or "About Alliant Energy". The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for description of role and company. We'll include that content. Next: "Join Alliant Energy as Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis! In this highly visible leadership role, you’ll partner directly with senior executives and business leaders to shape strategic decisions across the enterprise. You’ll lead a high-performing team that serves as trusted advisors to the business, delivering insights that influence operational, financial, and long-term planning outcomes. Beyond managing budgets and forecasts, you'll champion innovation, embrace emerging technologies such as AI, and drive continuous improvement in how financial insights are generated and used. This is an opportunity for a collaborative leader who can influence decisions, develop talent, and drive business results." That's role overview. Then "Job Summary The Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis is responsible for leading the full financial management cycle - including budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and analytics—while providing strategic insights that drive operational excellence and informed decision-making. This role requires a strong blend of financial acumen, business partnership, and operational understanding. The ideal candidate is highly motivated team player and trusted business partner capable of influencing action cross-functionally through effective communication. The successful candidate is comfortable operating at all levels, navigating the strategic big picture, while operating in the financial details." That's also summary. Then "What You Will Do" list of duties. Then "Education Requirements Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting or related area Required Master’s or Advanced Degree Preferred Required Experience 10 years of related Financial Planning & Analysis experience Minimum of 5 years leadership experience Preferred Experience Experience in top-tier public accounting or consulting firm (e.g., Big 4 or similar) Experience in Logistics, Manufacturing, or related industry Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Executive-level communication and board ready presentation skills Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management Detail-oriented with the ability to synthesize complex data into actionable insights Deep financial acumen and strategic thinking Expert ability to work independently and as part of a team Ability to handle multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment and work under tight deadlines Experience in M&A financial analysis and enterprise pricing strategy. Excellent project management skills and a continual improvement mindset focused on current processes and systems to increase efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness as the company scales Robust experience in financial modeling roles, demonstrating a solid understanding of financial principles, forecasting, and analysis contributing to efficiency through value-added reporting Expert technological skills, particularly financial modeling in Excel and PowerBI" Then "Our people are passionate about what they do, the product they sell, and the customers they serve. If you're looking for an opportunity to be a part of a work family that values collaboration, innovation and dedication, we're the right company for you. Alliant Energy offers a comprehensive total rewards package including competitive compensation and benefit programs. Information on these benefit programs is available on our Careers site. Pay Range: $130,000-$145,000 This position is eligible to participate in the annual incentive program. The final salary offered will generally fall within this range and is dependent on various factors including but not limited to the responsibilities of the position, experience, skill set, internal pay equity and other relevant qualifications of the applicant." Then some values statements: "It's not just what we do; it's how we do it. Live Safety. Everyone. Always | Make Things Better | Care For Others | Do The Right Thing | Act For Tomorrow | Think Beyond. Be Bold" Then EEO etc. We need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate, visa sponsorship not supported, background check, drug screen, disclaimer, accommodation request. So we will drop those. We need to include sections: About the role (maybe combine intro and role overview), Responsibilities (the "What You Will Do" list), Requirements (education and experience), Qualifications (maybe knowledge, skills, abilities), Skills (maybe separate? but we can combine knowledge, skills, abilities as Skills). Benefits: we have mention of competitive pay, comprehensive health and retirement benefits, tuition reimbursement, paid time off, volunteer opportunities, safety prioritized. Also "Alliant Energy offers a comprehensive total rewards package including competitive compensation and benefit programs." So we can include Benefits section with those specifics. Pay: we have Pay Range: $130,000-$145,000 and annual incentive program. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range, so okay. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details as they appear, but we can format into HTML. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have

Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis

. We'll use headings for sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

Requirements

Education Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting or related area (Required); Master’s or Advanced Degree (Preferred).

Required Experience: 10 years of related Financial Planning & Analysis experience; Minimum of 5 years leadership experience.

Preferred Experience: Experience in top-tier public accounting or consulting firm (e.g., Big 4 or similar); Experience in Logistics, Manufacturing, or related industry.

We need to preserve all detail; we can keep as paragraphs or list. Probably better to use

for list of requirements. But the instruction says use
• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should use list for requirements. Thus:

  Requirements

  • Minimum of 5 years leadership experience (Required)

  • Experience in Logistics, Manufacturing, or related industry (Preferred)
  Now Qualifications/Knowledge, Skills, Abilities. The heading could be "Qualifications" or "Skills". The instruction list includes Qualifications, Skills. We have a block "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities". We could put under "Qualifications" or "Skills". Since we already have Requirements (education/experience), we can put the KSAs under "Qualifications". Or we could have both Qualifications and Skills. But to avoid thin sections, we can combine them under "Qualifications". Use list. Thus:

  Qualifications

  • Executive-level communication and board ready presentation skills

  • Detail-oriented with the ability to synthesize complex data into actionable insights
  • Deep financial acumen and strategic thinking
