We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About Us, About The Role, Key Responsibilities (maybe broken into subsections?), Qualifications And Experience, Benefits And Perks, Pay (salary range). Also maybe "Key Interfaces" is part of responsibilities; but we can keep as part of responsibilities list.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; remove boilerplate like EEO, ADA statement, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines. Also remove "About Us" maybe keep as section? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content. So we can have sections: About Us, About The Role, Responsibilities (maybe combine key responsibilities), Qualifications And Experience, Benefits And Perks, Pay. Possibly also "Key Interfaces" could be part of responsibilities.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section we have salary range: $125,000 - $165,000 a year. So include Pay.
We must not include Schedule if not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content:
About Us paragraph: "Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today — we’re changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power — delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America’s energy and future right where it’s needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we’re reshaping how — and how fast — energy gets built in the U.S. Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America. Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide. We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously — but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we’re collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other — whether that’s troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch. If you’re looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment — and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. — we’d love to meet you."
About The Role paragraph: "The Senior Manager, Project Financial Controls establishes and maintains the financial governance framework for projects. This role defines financial control standards, approval requirements, documentation expectations, and escalation protocols, and monitors compliance across the project lifecycle. This role will also serve as a partner with corporate finance to support any project portfolio audit requirements. The Senior Manager provides independent oversight of project financial processes, including budgets, commitments, purchase orders, change orders, forecasts, invoices, and project closeout. The role partners closely with Project Management, Project Accounting, Procurement, Sub Contracting, Finance, and leadership to improve financial discipline, data quality, auditability, and decision-making."
Key Responsibilities: It's a long list with headings like Financial Governance Framework, Budget Governance, Purchase Order & Invoice Controls, Forecasting Standards, Continuous Improvement, Key Interfaces. We need to turn each bullet into list items? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a
with each responsibility as - . Could also group under subheadings but subheadings not allowed unless they are h3? The instruction only mentions using h3 for section headings; we could still have
for each sub-section if we want, but they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we keep one Responsibilities section with a containing all responsibilities as list items.
