Manager of Institutional Giving

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate. Include section only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Provide Pay and Schedule only if posting states them. The posting includes "Hiring Range: $77,906 to $91,655". That's pay info. Also schedule: "This is a hybrid position, working two days per week at Linc's corporate office in Long Beach, CA." That's schedule info. Benefits are listed. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe Position Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, Education & Experience), Skills (maybe part of Knowledge, Skills & Abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid duplication. Let's parse content. Position Summary: paragraph about leading institutional fundraising etc. Essential Functions: many bullet-like sentences. We can turn each into

• under a
  . Could group under Responsibilities. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: list of knowledge areas and skill level bullet points. Could be under Requirements or Skills. We'll separate: Requirements (Education & Experience) and Skills (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities). But we need to avoid thin sections. Maybe combine Knowledge, Skills & Abilities into Skills section, and Education & Experience into Requirements. Benefits: list. Pay: hiring range. Schedule: hybrid position description. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like FLSA STATUS, EFFECTIVE DATE maybe we can drop as minor metadata. Could embed in a short p at top? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include a short p with FLSA STATUS, EFFECTIVE DATE maybe. But better to drop? It says fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. We'll include a short p with that info. Now produce HTML. Structure:

  FLSA STATUS: Exempt • EFFECTIVE DATE: October 2026
