We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About Us, Job Summary And Responsibilities (maybe combine?), Essential Duties And Responsibilities (maybe as Responsibilities), Program Strategy, Supervisory Responsibilities (maybe skip if 0%? It says include a section only when posting has real, specific content; supervisory responsibilities says "No supervisory responsibilities". That's not real specific content? It's a statement but it's basically "No supervisory responsibilities". Might be considered filler? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For supervisory responsibilities, it's a statement "No supervisory responsibilities". That's not placeholder but it's a statement. However, it's not substantive content? Might be considered not needed. Could include but it's thin. Probably better to omit because it's not adding value. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can skip Supervisory Responsibilities. We need sections: About Us, Responsibilities (maybe combine Job Summary And Responsibilities and Essential Duties And Responsibilities?), Requirements (Qualifications), Benefits (Compensation And Benefits includes hiring range and benefits). Pay section: we have hiring range, so we can include Pay section. Benefits: we have benefits list. Schedule: we have full-time, exempt. Could include Schedule section? It says include only when posting has real, specific content. It says "This is a full-time, exempt position." That's specific enough for schedule. Could include Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Encouragement To Apply" and "How To Apply". Also remove "OCF is an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. We need to include hiring range and benefits. Let's extract content: About Us paragraph: "Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) was founded in 1973 with a big mission: to improve the lives of all Oregonians through the power of philanthropy. In partnership with donors and volunteers, OCF works to strengthen communities in every county in Oregon through research, grantmaking, and scholarships. OCF is one of the largest community foundations in the country with over $4 billion in assets under management. OCF is an Equal Opportunity Employer with six offices throughout Oregon in Baker City, Bend, Eugene, Medford, Portland and Salem. Come join our team. To learn more, please visit oregoncf.org." We need to remove EEO line? It says OCF is an Equal Opportunity Employer... That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "Come join our team." maybe keep? It's not boilerplate but it's a call to action; maybe keep as part of About Us? It's not prohibited. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So remove the EEO sentence. Keep rest. Job Summary And Responsibilities: paragraph about role. Essential Duties And Responsibilities: broken into percentages and bullet-like sentences. We need to convert to
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are in paragraphs with sentences; we could treat each sentence as a list item? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The posting has percentages and sentences; we could break each duty into list items. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep as paragraphs? The rule says use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid using

        for prose; but if it's a list, we should use list. The duties are enumerated by percentages and sentences; we could treat each bullet as list item. Might be okay. Similarly for Community Engagement, Collaboration and Partnerships and Program Strategy sections. Qualifications: Education and Experience: "Six or more years of experience with nonprofit organizations, grantmaking and/or program planning and management Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience in lieu of degree". Then list of Required Professional Competencies (many). We'll need to turn those into list. Compensation And Benefits: includes hiring range and benefits list. We need sections: About Us, Responsibilities (maybe combine Job Summary And Responsibilities and Essential Duties And Responsibilities?), Requirements (Qualifications), Pay, Benefits, Schedule. But we must not create thin sections. Let's see content: About Us: decent paragraph. Responsibilities: we have Job Summary And Responsibilities (a paragraph) plus Essential Duties And Responsibilities (detailed). Could combine into one Responsibilities section with subheadings? But we only allowed

        for section headings; we cannot have subheadings unless we also use

        . Could we have multiple

        sections? Yes each heading is

        . So we could have separate sections: Job Summary, Responsibilities, Program Strategy, Community Engagement, etc. But that may be many thin sections. However each has substantive content. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine similar ones. We could have sections: About Us, Responsibilities (covering Job Summary, Essential Duties, Community Engagement, Program Strategy), Requirements, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. But we need to ensure we don't lose the nuance of percentages etc. We can keep them as list items within Responsibilities. Let's extract duties: Essential Duties And Responsibilities broken into categories with percentages: Program Management (40%): list of duties (many sentences). We'll capture each sentence as list item. Community Engagement, Collaboration and Partnerships (40%): list. Program Strategy (20%): list. Supervisory Responsibilities (0%): we can skip. We'll combine all duties into one list under Responsibilities? Might lose categorization but still preserve info. Could keep subheadings as

        ? Not allowed; only

        for section headings. Could we use or

        headings? The instruction only says use

        for section headings; doesn't forbid other headings like

        but says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It implies we should use

        for those specific section headings; but we could still use

        for subheadings? Not specified. Safer to avoid other headings; we can just keep categories as

        bolded? Might be okay. Simplify: We'll create a Responsibilities section with

        • each duty sentence. We need to parse each duty sentence from the text. Let's copy the Essential Duties And Responsibilities text: "Program Management Percentage of Time: 40%Manage grant budget for the housing portfolio; serve as point person for OCF’s grant investments in Oregon’s housing sector.In collaboration with the SPO, oversee the design and implementation of OCF’s housing initiatives, including coordinating convenings, developing grant programs, collaborating with partner funders and community leaders, and communicating about the work internally and externally.Create and manage budgets as needed for grant programs and related opportunities such as learning communities, convenings, etc.Serve as primary contact for potential grantees. Respond to inquiries for grants, manage application processes, communicate with grantees and conduct site visits and nonprofit outreach.Oversee grant programs and associated committees including development of program guidelines and criteria, application processes, proposal review and development of grant recommendations.Work with evaluation experts and OCF's research team to design a method for evaluation of the effectiveness of OCF’s housing strategies and create and maintain systems to track the progress and ensure that timelines and benchmarks are met.Work with other staff across departments to ensure OCF’s housing goals and strategies are integrated or aligned with other initiatives where possible and appropriate. Lead discussions and coordinate with other departments to ensure alignment with current trends and research.Lead or participate in coalitions of leaders, funders and/or organizations to develop and share evidence-based practices and coordinate housing policy and advocacy efforts.Support OCF’s economic vitality portfolio, with a focus on the intersection of housing and economic vitality.Collaborate and engage with program staff across the state to maintain high quality programs that address regional needs and collaborate with staff to fulfill the broader, overarching mission and goals of the foundation.Apply equitable grantmaking practices to ensure accessibility, reach and distribution of funding based on population or community need and intended impact. Monitor the collection and assessment of grantee reports; integrate findings into communications plans. Develop knowledge and expertise about organizations, people and issues related to housing while building relationships with diverse communities and leaders across Oregon.Remain abreast of research and trends regarding effective and innovative practices and community needs related to housing to increase impact and identify opportunities for OCF investments. Serve as a resource for OCF Board members, Leadership Council members, donors, community members, foundation partners and OCF colleagues by providing information and guidance on nonprofit, and community needs related to housing.Assist the SPO to plan and develop agendas and coordinate presentation materials and discussions for committees and Board; report and present to groups when applicable." That's a long paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We need to split into separate list items. We'll treat each sentence (ending with period) as an item. However some sentences have semicolons; we could split at periods only. Let's manually split: 1. Manage grant budget for the housing portfolio; serve as point person for OCF’s grant investments in Oregon’s housing sector. 2. In collaboration with the SPO, oversee the design and implementation of OCF’s housing initiatives, including coordinating convenings, developing grant programs, collaborating with partner funders and community leaders, and communicating about the work internally and externally. 3. Create and manage budgets as needed for grant programs and related opportunities such as learning communities, convenings, etc. 4. Serve as primary contact for potential grantees. 5. Respond to inquiries for grants, manage application processes, communicate with grantees and conduct site visits and nonprofit outreach. 6. Oversee grant programs and associated committees including development of program guidelines and criteria, application processes, proposal review and development of grant recommendations. 7. Work with evaluation experts and OCF's research team to design a method for evaluation of the effectiveness of OCF’s housing strategies and create and maintain systems to track the progress and ensure that timelines and benchmarks are met. 8. Work with other staff across departments to ensure OCF’s housing goals and strategies are integrated or aligned with other initiatives where possible and appropriate. 9. Lead discussions and coordinate with other departments to ensure alignment with current trends and research. 10. Lead or participate in coalitions of leaders, funders and/or organizations to develop and share evidence-based practices and coordinate housing policy and advocacy efforts. 11. Support OCF’s economic vitality portfolio, with a focus on the intersection of housing and economic vitality. 12. Collaborate and engage with program staff across the state to maintain high quality programs that address regional needs and collaborate with staff to fulfill the broader, overarching mission and goals of the foundation. 13. Apply equitable grantmaking practices to ensure accessibility, reach and distribution of funding based on population or community need and intended impact. 14. Monitor the collection and assessment of grantee reports; integrate findings into communications plans. 15. Develop knowledge and expertise about organizations, people and issues related to housing while building relationships with diverse communities and leaders across Oregon. 16. Remain abreast of research and trends regarding effective and innovative practices and community needs related to housing to increase impact and identify opportunities for OCF investments. 17. Serve as a resource for OCF Board members, Leadership Council members, donors, community members, foundation partners and OCF colleagues by providing information and guidance on nonprofit, and community needs related to housing. 18. Assist the SPO to plan and develop agendas and coordinate presentation materials and discussions for committees and Board; report and present
