We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
We have description: "Who We Are" then description of company and role. We can treat "About the role" as heading with content summarizing who we are and role overview. But we must not repeat job title as heading. Use About the role.
Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You'll Do". Use

- Pay: not mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay section.

We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement at end. Remove that.
Also remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal etc. Not present.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting.
We need to format as HTML fragment only.
Let's extract content precisely.
First, "Who We Are" paragraph: "White Lodging develops and operates a portfolio of award-winning premium hotels, rooftop bars, and restaurants in some of the country's most dynamic cities. We know that the hospitality business, like life, is about how you make people feel. That's where you come in. You'll help bring the virtue of hospitality to life as we create an environment that lets you be your best self and grow. We are hiring a Market Director of Finance to provide strategic financial leadership across five prominent Marriott-brand hotels in Indianapolis, Indiana — JW Marriott Indianapolis, Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis, Fairfield Inn by Marriott Indianapolis, and SpringHill Suites by Marriott Indianapolis. Together, these five properties represent the most significant Marriott hotel cluster in the Indianapolis market — spanning luxury full-service, premium full-service, and select-service segments — and one of the most high-profile Area Director of Finance opportunities in the Indianapolis hospitality industry. In this role, you'll support the leadership teams across all five Indianapolis Marriott properties and provide financial guidance spanning analysis and reporting, tax, accounting, and bookkeeping. Your practical, cost-versus-benefit solutions will be valued and integral to the financial performance of the entire Indianapolis hotel cluster. If you're a Market Director of Finance, Director of Finance, Hotel Controller, or senior hospitality finance professional looking for Market Director of Finance jobs in Indianapolis, Indiana, or multi-property hotel finance leadership roles at a Marriott hotel cluster, this is a rare and high-visibility opportunity with one of the country's most respected hotel development and management companies."
We can keep that as About the role.
Now Responsibilities: bullet list from "What You'll Do". Let's extract each sentence as a bullet.
- Oversee, direct, and administer all financial operations across the five-property Indianapolis Marriott cluster — including financial analysis and reporting, budgeting and forecasting, audit and control, asset and liability reconciliation, working capital, and cash controls
- Partner with General Managers and executive committees across all five properties to develop annual operating budgets, produce accurate forecasts, and provide analytical support during budget reviews to identify cost-saving and productivity opportunities
- Track, evaluate, and interpret financial performance data across the Indianapolis hotel cluster — making strategic recommendations to maximize profitability and ensure full compliance with GAAP and the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (USALI)
- Advise General Managers and executive committees on existing and evolving operating and financial issues — communicating financial concepts clearly and persuasively to drive sound business decision-making across all five properties
- Maintain a strong accounting and operational control environment — safeguarding hotel assets, improving operations, managing business risks, and ensuring compliance with all required SOPs across the cluster
- Review P&L statements for accuracy; reconcile balance sheets; oversee internal, external, and regulatory audit processes; and ensure all account balances are supported by appropriate documentation
- Ensure tax rates for sales and use tax are current and proper amounts are collected and accrued — documenting tax-exempt transactions and ensuring all hotel permits, licenses, and applicable vendor contracts remain current across all five properties
- Leverage technology and information systems to generate financial reports, monitor data accuracy, and provide managers with the analytical support needed to drive revenue and operational performance goals
- Monitor, develop, and evaluate accounting team member performance — providing supervision, professional development, scheduling, counseling, and recognition across the Indianapolis cluster finance team
- Perform other duties as assigned to meet business needs
Now Requirements: education and experience? The "What You'll Bring" includes:
- 4-year bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance — required; 3 or more years of hotel accounting experience strongly preferred
- Prior experience as a Director of Finance, Hotel Controller, Area Director of Finance, or senior hotel accounting professional — multi-property or cluster finance experience in an Indianapolis or comparable Marriott-brand hotel market strongly preferred
We could put these under Requirements.
Qualifications: maybe "A thorough understanding of hotel accounting processes — including Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), General Ledger (GL), cash management, purchasing and inventory controls, and how hotel operations intersect with financial performance across a multi-property cluster"
But that seems more like a qualification/skill. However we have separate Skills heading.
We could allocate:
Requirements: education and experience.
Qualifications: thorough understanding of hotel accounting processes, working knowledge of front office accounting processes, etc.
Skills: strong analytical abilities, interpersonal communication, intermediate to advanced proficiency in software, commitment to accuracy.
But the instruction says we can use those headings; we need to include only if real content. We'll decide.
Let's parse "What You'll Bring" after the first two bullet points:
- A thorough understanding of hotel accounting processes — including Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), General Ledger (GL), cash management, purchasing and inventory controls, and how hotel operations intersect with financial performance across a multi-property cluster
- Working knowledge of front office accounting processes — including Property Management Systems (PMS), Point of Sale (POS), Guest Ledger, and night audit functions — and Accounting Standard Operating Procedures and Internal Control Best Practices
- Strong analytical abilities with effective decision-making and problem-solving skills — with a demonstrated ability to analyze information, evaluate results, and choose the best solution across a complex five-property hotel finance environment
- Strong interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills — with the ability to communicate financial concepts clearly and persuasively to General Managers, executive committees, and department managers across all five Indianapolis Marriott properties
- Intermediate to advanced proficiency in standard software applications and hotel accounting systems — with the ability to troubleshoot technology-related issues and leverage information systems to generate accurate financial reports and drive decision-making
- An unwavering commitment to flawless accuracy, GAAP and USALI compliance, and financial controls across a high-profile multi-property Marriott hotel cluster in Indianapolis, Indiana
We can split these into Qualifications and Skills.
Qualifications could be: thorough understanding of hotel accounting processes, working knowledge of front office accounting processes.
Skills could be: strong analytical abilities, interpersonal communication, intermediate to advanced proficiency in software, commitment to accuracy.
But also "strong analytical abilities" could be skill. "Strong interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills" skill. "Intermediate to advanced proficiency..." skill. "An unwavering commitment..." could be skill or qualification. We'll put under Skills.
Thus:
Qualifications:
- A thorough understanding of hotel accounting processes — including Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), General Ledger (GL), cash management, purchasing and inventory controls, and how hotel operations intersect with financial performance across a multi-property cluster
- Working knowledge of front office accounting processes — including Property Management Systems (PMS), Point of Sale (POS), Guest Ledger, and night audit functions — and Accounting Standard Operating Procedures and Internal Control Best Practices
Skills:
- Strong analytical abilities with effective decision-making and problem-solving skills — with a demonstrated ability to analyze information, evaluate results, and choose the best solution across a complex five-property hotel finance environment
- Strong interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills — with the ability to communicate financial concepts clearly and persuasively to General Managers, executive committees, and department managers across all five Indianapolis Marriott properties
- Intermediate to advanced proficiency in standard software applications and hotel accounting systems — with the ability to troubleshoot technology-related issues and leverage information systems to generate accurate financial reports and drive decision-making
- An unwavering commitment to flawless accuracy, GAAP and USALI compliance, and financial controls across a high-profile multi-property Marriott hotel cluster in Indianapolis, Indiana
Now Benefits: list from "What You Can Look Forward To" and "Full-time associates also receive:".
Let's extract:
- Unlimited employee referral bonuses
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off (PTO) with rollover
- Complimentary wellness tools
- Hostcare Resources healthcare concierge
- Leadership development & tuition reimbursement
- Discounts on hotel rooms, dining, and travel
- Growth opportunities across multiple hotel properties in your market
- Full-time associates also receive:
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance — starting day 1
- Life and disability insurance
- Paid parental leave
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
We should keep the "Full-time associates also receive:" as a heading? Not needed; we can just list those items as bullets under Benefits.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO statement. Remove final paragraph.
Now construct HTML.
We'll have:
