We need to output HTML fragment with sections: 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. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Title: Sr. Director, Development, East Region Reporting To: Executive Director, East Location: New York, NY location strongly preferred (Hybrid) Status: Full Time;Exempt Salary Range*: $145,000 - $160,000 (M4/B10) Then description: "Facing History & Ourselves is a global education non-profit organization that challenges teachers and students to use lessons of history to stand up to racism, antisemitism, and other forms of bigotry and hate. The Senior Director of Development, East (“SDD”) is a senior development leader for Facing History & Ourselves’ East region, responsible for owning and executing an integrated, multi-state, multi-market fundraising plan that achieves the region’s annual and long-term revenue goals. Reporting to the Executive Director, East (“ED”), the SDD leads regional fundraising across individual giving, institutional giving, events and donor engagement, and development operations. The SDD leads the East development team, maintains a focused portfolio of high-value donors and prospects, and partners with the ED to engage the East Region Advisory Boards in advancing regional fundraising priorities. The role requires a proven ability to lead high-performing development teams, integrate multiple fundraising functions, and drive revenue growth across distinct philanthropic markets." Then "Who You Are" paragraph. Then "Roles & Responsibilities" with subheadings: Multi-State, Multi-Market Development Leadership, Team Leadership & Accountability, Advisory Board Leadership & Activation, Portfolio & Pipeline Management. Then "Skills & Experience" with bullet list. Then "Benefits Summary:" with list. Then EEO etc. Also "Remote-first/Hybrid Work Model (Hybrid):" etc. We need sections: About the role (maybe the initial description), Responsibilities (the Roles & Responsibilities content), Requirements (maybe the "Who You Are"? Actually "Who You Are" is more about personal attributes; could be Qualifications or Skills. But we have Skills & Experience separate. We need to decide mapping. We have sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (Roles & Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe "Who You Are"? but that's more qualifications). Qualifications (maybe the "Skills & Experience"? Actually Skills & Experience is separate. Could treat Skills as Skills section. Qualifications could be the "Who You Are"? Hmm. Better: Use sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (Roles & Responsibilities), Qualifications (Who You Are + Skills & Experience?), Skills (maybe separate). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one? But we have to follow instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We can include multiple sections if they have substantive content. We have: - About the role: first paragraph(s) describing organization and role. - Responsibilities: the detailed bullet-like paragraphs under Roles & Responsibilities (multiple sub-sections). We can output as
  • for each duty. - Requirements: maybe the "Who You Are" paragraph (personal attributes) could be considered Requirements? But it's more about who you are. Could treat as Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe the "Skills & Experience" bullet list (experience requirements). That seems like qualifications. - Skills: maybe we could extract specific skills from the bullet list? But the bullet list already includes skills/experience. Could treat Skills as the same as Qualifications? Might be redundant. Better: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (combining Who You Are and Skills & Experience), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Pay: we have salary range $145,000 - $160,000. That's specific, so include Pay section. Schedule: we have Hybrid remote-first model, location New York strongly preferred, travel required. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section. Benefits: we have Benefits Summary paragraph with list. Include Benefits. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting includes "We strive to offer competitive salaries commensurate with experience in a similar position." That's filler; we should not include that as content. We already have specific salary range, so we can include Pay section with that range. The filler sentence should be omitted. Also "New hires are typically brought into the organization at a salary range between the minimum and midpoint depending on experience and in alignment with internal parity." That's filler; omit. Now we need to strip EEO etc. Now produce HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    ... (intro paragraph(s) maybe two paragraphs). We'll combine the first paragraph about organization and role description. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details from the intro: "Facing History & Ourselves is a global education non-profit organization that challenges teachers and students to use lessons of history to stand up to racism, antisemitism, and other forms of bigotry and hate. The Senior Director of Development, East (“SDD”) is a senior development leader for Facing History & Ourselves’ East region, responsible for owning and executing an integrated, multi-state, multi-market fundraising plan that achieves the region’s annual and long-term revenue goals. Reporting to the Executive Director, East (“ED”), the SDD leads regional fundraising across individual giving, institutional giving, events and donor engagement, and development operations. The SDD leads the East development team, maintains a focused portfolio of high-value donors and prospects, and partners with the ED to engage the East Region Advisory Boards in advancing regional fundraising priorities. The role requires a proven ability to lead high-performing development teams, integrate multiple fundraising functions, and drive revenue growth across distinct philanthropic markets." Then maybe also include the "Who You Are" paragraph? That could go under Qualifications. Qualifications section: combine Who You Are and Skills & Experience. Who You Are paragraph: "You are passionate about the power of education to shape the future by nurturing empathy, curiosity and civic responsibility in young people. You are a proven leader with experience raising significant funds from individuals, foundations, and corporations. You value humility, excellence, empathy, learning, and feedback, as well as a sense of sharing ownership, keeping things simple, and pursuing big goals. You are a thoughtful and authentic relationship builder, and approach fundraising through an analytical and data-driven lens. You are well-organized, action oriented, and manage up/down/across to remove bottlenecks and foster collaboration." Then Skills & Experience bullet list: we need to preserve each bullet as

  • . The bullet list includes: - 10+ years of progressive experience in nonprofit development, including senior-level responsibility for meeting or exceeding annual revenue goals and growth initiatives. - 5+ years of team management experience. - Experience leading through a matrixed organizational structure and successfully coordinating work with colleagues who are not direct reports. - Proven experience developing and executing fundraising strategy across multiple geographic markets, ideally including responsibility for a multi-state or comparably complex region. - Demonstrated success leading an integrated development program spanning multiple fundraising functions, including major and individual giving, institutional giving, events and donor engagement, and development operations. - Track record of personally cultivating, soliciting, and closing 6+ figure gifts. - Experience working with volunteer leadership bodies, boards, and/or advisory boards to advance fundraising and donor engagement. - Excellent relationship management, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with donors, volunteers, executive leaders, program colleagues, and development professionals. - Ability and willingness to travel regularly throughout Mid-Atlantic We should keep all. Now Responsibilities section: we need to capture the content under Roles & Responsibilities with subheadings. We can either keep subheadings as

    but instruction only mentions using

    for section headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but we should follow instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It didn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe we can just treat each bullet as
  • under
      . However we need to preserve the structure: Multi-State, Multi-Market Development Leadership etc. Could embed those as inside
    • or as separate

      with bold. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include the subheading as part of the

    • text. Thus for each duty we can produce
    • Multi-State, Multi-Market Development Leadership: ...
    • etc. Let's extract each bullet: Under Multi-State, Multi-Market Development Leadership: - Own the design and execution of the East region’s annual and multi-year development plan, in alignment with the strategy, priorities, and revenue goals established by the Executive Director and organizational leadership. - Lead an integrated development program across multiple states and distinct philanthropic markets. - Drive performance across the full range of regional development functions, including individual giving, institutional giving, events and donor engagement, and development operations. - Establish and maintain rigorous revenue forecasting, pipeline and portfolio management, and reporting practices that provide clear visibility into progress toward goals. - Translate national development strategies, campaigns, systems, and initiatives into effective regional execution. - Use data and market intelligence to evaluate results, allocate team capacity, and adjust strategies to maximize revenue. Team Leadership & Accountability: - Lead a high-performing, five-member regional development team in meeting and exceeding revenue goals. - Directly manage the Senior Major Gifts Officer, Major Gifts Officer, and Sr. Manager, Donor Experiences & Engagement, establishing clear goals, performance expectations, and accountability for results. - Ensure effective management and deployment of the Development Coordinator, East - Partner closely with the matrixed Grant Writer supporting the East region to deliver high-quality proposals, reports, and other fundraising materials. - Create strong integration across development functions to reinforce a unified donor strategy. - Develop staff as fundraisers and relationship managers through coaching, goal setting, performance management, and regular review of portfolios and pipelines. - Build a culture of accountability, collaboration, disciplined execution, and continuous improvement across the regional development team. Advisory Board Leadership & Activation: - In partnership with the Executive Director, East, lead the day-to-day engagement and activation of Facing History’s East region Advisory Boards. - Translate regional fundraising priorities into clear opportunities for Advisory Board members to engage and support. - Partner with the Executive Director, East on Advisory Board strategy, composition, and recruitment. - Equip Advisory Board members with the information, tools, and support necessary to serve effectively as ambassadors and fundraising partners for Facing History. Portfolio & Pipeline Management: - Maintain and grow a focused portfolio of approximately 40-50 high-value donors and prospects. - Personally solicit and close significant gifts in support of regional and organizational priorities. - Support the Executive Director, Chief Development Officer, CEO, and other senior leaders in cultivating and soliciting the region’s highest-capacity donors and prospects. Now Benefits section: we have Benefits Summary paragraph with list. Need to extract list items. Benefits Summary: "In addition to meaningful and rewarding work, Facing History provides an excellent and competitive compensation and benefits package including medical with a fully employer-sponsored health reimbursement account (HRA), dental, vision, life & AD&D, long-term & short-term disability insurance, 403(b) retirement plan with a discretionary organizational contribution, generous paid time off, an employee assistance program, travel assistance plan, pre-tax commuter spending accounts, flexible spending accounts, voluntary Colonial Life group plans, robust wellness programs through aHealthyMe, an employee discounted marketplace through BenefitHub, weekly virtual yoga and meditation, 403(b) advisement, and a friendly work environment." We can turn each item into
    • . Might be long but okay. Now Pay section: salary range $145,000 - $160,
