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. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short p or drop it. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "How To Apply", "CLOSING DATE", "JOB SEARCH CATEGORY", "EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY", etc. Also remove "CUNY Title Overview", "CUNY TITLE", "FLSA Exempt", maybe keep compensation and benefits.
We need to preserve all substantive information: description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred qualifications, compensation range, benefits description, schedule (full-time, 12-month, benefits-eligible, some hybrid work hours, some evening and weekend work may be required). Also location? Might be considered minor metadata; we can put in a short p.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could include overview paragraph about position, reporting line, mission, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (bulleted). Many responsibilities described.
- Requirements: maybe required qualifications (Bachelor's degree and eight years' related experience, demonstrated management supervisory experience, excellent communication etc). Could be separate.
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? But we already have required and preferred. Could combine? The instruction: use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications separate. Requirements could be mandatory; Qualifications could be preferred or additional.
- Skills: maybe list of skills like communication, interpersonal, budget management, data analysis, etc.
- Benefits: description of CUNY benefits.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: full-time, 12-month, hybrid, evening/weekend.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. For Pay we have actual range $141,325- $150,770; we can include that.
For Benefits we have description.
For Schedule we have full-time, 12-month, benefits-eligible administrative salaried position with some hybrid work hours. Some evening and weekend work may be required.
We must not include "Salary commensurate with education and experience." as filler? That's somewhat generic but we have actual range; we can still include range and maybe note that salary is commensurate with education and experience within that range? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . So we should not include that phrase if it's just filler. But we have actual range; we can include range and maybe not include the phrase. Could just put the range.
Now we need to extract responsibilities from text.
Let's parse the posting:
- "The Director will be a change agent and visionary leader, with strong academic credentials and leadership ability in career development, career-readiness and exploration, experiential learning, and employer relations."
- "The Director is responsible for providing innovative, strategic leadership and comprehensive career development services to the college community."
- "They will play a key role in the implementation of the CUNY Beyond and Next Level Student Success initiatives."
- "The Director is a highly visible, engaged professional, who will lead and manage the college undergraduate career center as it supports and assists a diverse student population, alumni, faculty, and employer clients."
- "The Director will oversee services and programs involving the development of career education, career identification and search, and pursuit of employment opportunities commensurate with students’ academic aspirations."
- "The Director will also cultivate a culture of continuous improvement by identifying and integrating best practices; benchmarking services against peer and aspirant institutions; introducing creative approaches and solutions to the design and delivery of programs and services; maximizing available technology for data management, marketing and communication; and actively supporting ongoing professional development and collaborations across staff and functional responsibilities."
- "Starr’s Director will oversee departmental budgets, always ensuring prudent fiscal management and oversight they will also seek external funding sources to augment unit revenue and supplement college funding."
- "Oversees office’s industry partnerships, establishes new partnerships and nurtures ongoing partnerships"
- "Directs overall operations of physical and virtual career centers, including staff, facilities, and technologies"
- "Seeks external funding sources to augment unit revenue and supplement college funding" (duplicate)
- "Strengthens relationships with Deans, Chairs and faculty to further embed career pedagogy in the classroom. Share student and industry data with forementioned academic partners to inform curriculum and degree programs."
- "Plans and implements marketing strategies for identifying and cultivating a diverse group of potential employers"
- "Plans, promotes, and markets services and information to students, including information resources, career counseling, informational programs, and assessment programs"
- "Participates in campus committees and projects including but not limited to Accreditation Committees, Curriculum Committees, CUNY Beyond Committees, Next Level Student Success Committees and more."
- "Contributes to the leadership of the field through conferences, presentations, leadership in professional organizations."
- "Represent the department and the College to internal and external stakeholders, including employers, donors, media, economic development agencies, and professional organizations"
Also "Other Information" about Next Level Student Success etc.
We need to avoid duplication.

We offer a range of health plans, competitive retirement/pension benefits and savings plans, tuition waivers for CUNY graduate study and generous paid time off. Our staff also benefits from the extensive academic, arts, and athletic programs on our campuses and the opportunity to participate in a lively, diverse academic community in one of the greatest cities in the world."
Now schedule: "This is a full-time, 12-month, benefits-eligible administrative salaried position with some hybrid work hours. Some evening and weekend work may be required"
Now location: Baruch College (maybe minor metadata). Could include in a short p.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:

Potentially also include location in a short p after About the role? Could add a p with location. But we must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not include Job ID etc. We can drop. Now ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". In responsibilities we have phrase "pursuit of employment opportunities commensurate with students’ academic aspirations." That's part of responsibilities; it's not filler; it's specific. So we can keep. Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate bullet points. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine overview: reporting line, mission, change agent, visionary leader, oversee Starr Career Development Center, support division values, implement CUNY Beyond and Next Level initiatives, lead undergraduate career center serving diverse population, etc. Now Responsibilities bullet list: we need to capture each distinct responsibility. List: - Provide innovative, strategic leadership and comprehensive career development services to the college community. - Play a key role in implementing CUNY Beyond and Next Level Student Success initiatives. - Lead and manage the college undergraduate career center supporting diverse student population, alumni, faculty, and employer clients. - Oversee services and programs involving career education, career identification and search, and pursuit of employment opportunities aligned with students’ academic aspirations. - Cultivate a culture of continuous improvement: identify and integrate best practices; benchmark services against peer and aspirant institutions; introduce creative approaches to program design and delivery; maximize technology for data management, marketing, and communication; support ongoing professional development and cross‑functional collaboration. - Oversee departmental budgets, ensuring prudent fiscal management and oversight; seek external funding sources to augment unit revenue and supplement college funding. - Manage office industry partnerships: establish new partnerships and nurture existing ones. - Direct overall operations of physical and virtual career centers, including staff, facilities, and technologies. - Strengthen relationships with deans, chairs, and faculty to embed career pedagogy in the classroom; share student and industry data to inform curriculum and degree programs. - Plan and implement marketing strategies to identify and cultivate a diverse group of potential employers. - Plan, promote, and market services and information to students (information resources, career counseling, informational programs, assessment programs). - Participate in campus committees and projects (accreditation, curriculum, CUNY Beyond, Next Level Student Success, etc.). - Contribute to leadership in the field via conferences, presentations, and professional organization involvement. - Represent the department and college to internal and external stakeholders (employers, donors, media, economic development agencies, professional organizations).
