U260087 - Director of Advancement - University Advancement at University

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Summary, Key Responsibilities, What We’re Looking For, Why UB Advancement, Learn More (benefits?), Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Salary Range, Posting Period, Contact info. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Learn More Our benefits..." maybe we can extract benefits? The posting says "Learn More Our benefits, where we prioritize your well-being and success to enhance every aspect of your life. Being a part of the University at Buffalo community." That's vague; no specific benefits listed. Since we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions benefits generically but no specifics; we might skip Benefits section. Pay: Salary Range $80,000 – $90,000 -> we can create Pay section with that. Schedule: Ability to travel up to 50% of the time, work evenings and occasional weekends. That's schedule info; we can create Schedule section. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. Use

for Qualifications maybe. Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities Include. About the role: Position Summary. Skills: maybe from qualifications: problem solving, communication, technical/digital competence, collaboration, interpersonal skills, etc. Could put under Skills. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting. Let's extract: Position Summary: "Make a lasting impact through relationship-building and philanthropy at UB. The Division of University Advancement seeks a motivated Director of Advancement to help drive philanthropic growth for strategic university priorities and special projects, including Student Life, as part of the university’s overall fundraising program. Join a collaborative, mission-driven team advancing student success, innovation, and meaningful contributions across UB." Key Responsibilities Include: - Build and manage a donor portfolio by identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding prospects capable of making gifts of $100,000+, including individuals in early-stage cultivation and/or with whom the university has little to no relationship. - Drive engagement and outreach through national travel and regular visits in Western New York and neighboring regions, deepening relationships and expanding support for strategic university initiatives, special projects, and overall fundraising priorities. - Collaborate with advancement leaders, faculty, and volunteers to support strategic fundraising efforts, operating plans, and events, aligning donor engagement with institutional goals. - Participate fully in division and university life by attending meetings, pursuing professional development, and fostering strong internal partnerships. - Maintain digital records and adhere to best practices for donor management and reporting, ensuring accuracy and compliance. - Demonstrate professionalism and energy in all interactions, balancing relationship-building with metrics-driven performance. What We’re Looking For: "If you are a goal-oriented professional inspired by the power of philanthropy to transform lives and advance discovery, this is your opportunity to make a difference. Join a dynamic team and help shape UB’s future as a top 25 public research university." Why UB Advancement: paragraph about seeking highly motivated, goal-oriented fundraising professional, etc. Might be similar to What We’re Looking For; but we need to preserve all substantive info, not duplicate? It's somewhat repetitive but we should keep it. Learn More: "Our benefits, where we prioritize your well-being and success to enhance every aspect of your life. Being a part of the University at Buffalo community." That's vague; we might not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Could we include a Benefits section with that text? The rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits generically but not specifics. Might be considered stating them, albeit vague. Safer to skip Benefits section. Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor’s degree - A minimum of 5 years in a fund-development or revenue-generating role, with a demonstrated track record of increasingly responsible success in goal achievement, planning, complex relationship management, and personal solicitation of 6-figure gifts. - Related experience in professional sales/marketing, financial planning/advising and other fields will be considered. - Strong problem solving and oral and written communication skills. - Technical/digital competence; - Demonstrated commitment to collaboration as well as the ability to work well both independently and collectively with a diverse team and donor/prospect constituency. - Excellent interpersonal skills, including the ability to listen and interact effectively with high-net-worth individuals. - Ability to travel up to 50% of the time (which includes local and regional travel) and to work evenings and on occasional weekends. Preferred Qualifications: - FTE: 1.0 (maybe not needed) - University at Buffalo is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and in keeping with our commitment, encourages women, minorities, persons with disabilities and veterans to apply. (That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should drop that line.) Salary Range: $80,000 – $90,000 Posting Period: Open Until Filled Contact: Morgan Falzone mfkinstn@buffalo.edu 716-829-3732 We should not include application instructions; contact info maybe okay as minor metadata? The rule: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Contact info is minor metadata; we can include in a

at end. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for sections. Potential sections: - About the role (Position Summary) - Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities) - What We’re Looking For (maybe combine with Why UB Advancement? Could be "About the team" but we need to follow allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map: - About the role: Position Summary + What We’re Looking For + Why UB Advancement? Might be too much but okay. - Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Or Skills: maybe combine problem solving etc. But we already have those in Minimum Qualifications. Could split: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications, Skills = maybe list of skills from qualifications (problem solving, communication, technical/digital competence, collaboration, interpersonal). But we risk duplication. Better to follow: Use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications, Skills for specific skills (problem solving, communication, technical/digital competence, collaboration, interpersonal). However the Minimum Qualifications already includes those skills; we could still include them under Skills without duplication? The rule: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we put skills under Skills section, we still need to keep them somewhere else? Could duplicate but that's okay as long as we preserve. But better to avoid duplication; we can keep them under Requirements (minimum qualifications) and not repeat under Skills. Then Skills section could be omitted if no specific skills beyond those. But we need to decide. Given allowed headings, we can use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. Benefits omitted. Skills omitted. Let's craft:

Qualifications

• FTE: 1.0

But FTE: 1.0 is not really a qualification; it's just employment status. Might be considered minor metadata; we could drop it. However we need to preserve all substantive information; FTE is substantive? It's just indicating full-time. Could be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short

or drop. The rule: fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we could drop FTE line. Also the EEO line we dropped. Thus Qualifications section may be empty; better to omit Qualifications section if no real specific content. So we will not include Qualifications heading. Now Pay:
