Revenue Accounting Manager
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes: About Bluebird (company description) maybe not needed as heading? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We need to decide sections. We have content: Job Summary (description). Could map to "About the role". Then "What You'll Do" is responsibilities. Then "What We're Looking For" includes Experience, Skills & Competencies, Leadership Attributes. Could split into Requirements (experience), Qualifications (maybe education?), Skills, etc. But we must not create thin sections. Let's see content: - Experience: Bachelor's degree, CPA preferred, 7+ years progressive accounting experience including 2+ years leading AR team, strong experience managing billing, collections, cash application, revenue ops, month-end close, experience supporting external audits, experience partnering with sales, operations, accounting, FP&A, retail/agency/professional services/commerce industry experience preferred. - Skills & Competencies: Strong understanding of ASC 606, advanced Excel, experience with NetSuite AR/billing/revenue modules, experience with ERP systems, financial reporting tools, process automation, experience with Power BI/Tableau preferred, strong analytical, problem-solving, process improvement capabilities, excellent communication skills, strong project management and organizational skills. - Leadership Attributes: Takes ownership, identifies opportunities, leads with accountability, thrives in fast-paced collaborative environment, builds strong relationships while maintaining controls-focused mindset, balances strategic thinking with hands-on execution. Thus we could have sections: Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Experience), Skills (Skills & Competencies), Leadership Attributes maybe could be part of Skills or separate? But we have limited headings list; we could map Leadership Attributes to "Skills" or maybe "Qualifications". However we need to avoid filler. Could combine Skills & Competencies and Leadership Attributes into a single Skills section? Might be okay but we risk losing detail. Better to have separate sections: Skills and Leadership Attributes? But only allowed headings list includes Skills, but not Leadership Attributes. Could treat Leadership Attributes as part of Skills (since they are competencies). Or we could create a section "Qualifications" for education and experience, and "Skills" for technical skills, and maybe omit Leadership Attributes? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop Leadership Attributes. So we need to include them somewhere. Could put them under Skills as bullet points. Thus sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Experience), Skills (Skills & Competencies + Leadership Attributes). Possibly also Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not provided, so omit. We also have location and schedule: "This position is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is expected to be in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday." That's schedule info (office days). According to rules, we should include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state expected to be in office on Tue, Wed, Thu. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. Also location could be part of About the role or maybe a short p. But we can include location in About the role paragraph. We also have "Our Commitment" and Disclaimer which are boilerplate; we should remove EEO/equal-opportunity etc. The "Our Commitment" is about inclusion; might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still generic. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Our Commitment" might be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate; better to drop it. Disclaimer also boilerplate; drop. Thus final HTML:

We'll put that in Schedule section. About the role: Job Summary paragraph plus maybe location? But we already put location in schedule. Could include location in About the role as well but not duplicate. We'll keep About the role as the Job Summary text (the paragraph starting "We're looking for a Revenue & Accounting Manager..."). Let's craft About the role paragraph: "We're looking for a Revenue & Accounting Manager to drive the strategy, optimization, and continuous improvement of our billing, collections, cash application, and revenue operations ecosystem, while providing leadership and direction to a team of experienced AR Specialists. This role will own the design and evolution of scalable revenue and accounts receivable processes, with a focus on improving efficiency, accuracy, controls, automation, and system utilization across the revenue cycle.

That's the job summary. Now produce HTML. We must not include any extra tags like etc. Just fragment. Let's construct:About the role
