Vice President, Finance and IT

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include only sections with real specific content. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless present. The posting includes: Job Summary, Essential Functions (Culture and Values, Role Specific Responsibilities, Supervision), Education And Experience, Skills And Attributes, Reports To, Key Internal Relationships, Physical Demands, Christian Life (maybe mission statement). Also includes FLSA: Full time, Exempt (maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule). There's mention of Weekend and evening availability- Occasionally (maybe schedule). But we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states schedule details. It says "Weekend and evening availability- Occasionally". That's a schedule detail. Could include a Schedule section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state weekend/evening availability occasionally, so we could include a Schedule section with that detail. However we need to see if that's enough specific content. It's a specific statement: "Weekend and evening availability- Occasionally". That's schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section with that line. Pay: Not mentioned. Benefits: Not mentioned. So we omit Benefits and Pay. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can use other headings if they match content? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems they expect those specific headings, but we can adapt? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they want us to use those headings when appropriate. But we can also use other headings if they better match? The examples are just examples; we can use any heading but must be

. Probably we should use headings like "Job Summary", "Essential Functions", "Education and Experience", "Skills and Attributes", "Reports To", "Key Internal Relationships", "Physical Demands", "Christian Life/Mission". However the instruction says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It may be that they expect us to map content to those standard headings. But we have content like Job Summary, Essential Functions, etc. Could we map Job Summary to "About the role"? Essential Functions to "Responsibilities"? Education And Experience to "Qualifications"? Skills And Attributes to "Skills"? Reports To maybe not needed. Key Internal Relationships maybe not needed. Physical Demands maybe not needed. Christian Life maybe not needed. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop details like Reports To etc. If we map to standard headings, we might lose those specifics unless we embed them under appropriate headings. For example, Reports To could go under "About the role" or maybe under a separate heading but we can still include as a paragraph under a heading like "Leadership". However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should combine related info into fewer sections. Thus we could have sections: About the role (Job Summary + Reports To + Key Internal Relationships), Responsibilities (Essential Functions: Culture and Values, Role Specific Responsibilities, Supervision), Qualifications (Education And Experience), Skills (Skills And Attributes), Schedule (Weekend and evening availability), Physical Demands (maybe under Responsibilities or separate?), Christian Life/Mission (maybe under About the role). But we need to decide. We must not invent headings like "Christian Life" if not in the list of examples? It's okay as long as it's

. The examples are just examples, not exhaustive. So we can use any heading. But to be safe, we can follow the pattern: Use headings that match the content: "Job Summary", "Essential Functions", "Education and Experience", "Skills and Attributes", "Reports To", "Key Internal Relationships", "Physical Demands", "Christian Life". All as

. That preserves all info. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes some Christian mission statements; we keep that as it's substantive. We must use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for lists we need to wrap in
  • . For prose use

    . We need to parse the text and produce HTML. Let's extract sections: Job Summary: "Serve in an executive capacity as part of the WSM Leadership Team. Lead the Finance and into growth in quality and effectiveness in its areas of mission, and in relevant objectives in the Strategic Plan. Supervise the ministries of Donor Processing and Finance. FLSA: Full time, Exempt All Water Street Mission Staff Must Be Willing to sign the Water Street Mission Statement of Faith A current and active member and/or regular attendee of a local church Able to fully support the Water Street Mission core values and ministry philosophy" Actually the Job Summary paragraph seems garbled: "Lead the Finance and into growth in quality and effectiveness in its areas of mission, and in relevant objectives in the Strategic Plan." Probably meant "Lead the Finance department..." We'll keep as is. Then "Essential Functions" includes Culture and Values bullet list, Role Specific Responsibilities (a long list), Supervision bullet list. Then "Education And Experience": list. Then "Skills And Attributes": list. Then "Reports To: Senior Vice President, Operations Key Internal Relationships: WSM Leadership Team; Operations Leadership Team; VP, People and Culture" Then "Physical Demands" with definitions and list. Then "Christian Life" paragraph. We need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate. There's no explicit duplicated lines besides maybe the mission statement repeated? We'll keep. We need to format lists. Let's create HTML:

    Job Summary

    Serve in an executive capacity as part of the WSM Leadership Team. Lead the Finance and into growth in quality and effectiveness in its areas of mission, and in relevant objectives in the Strategic Plan. Supervise the ministries of Donor Processing and Finance. FLSA: Full time, Exempt. All Water Street Mission Staff Must Be Willing to sign the Water Street Mission Statement of Faith. A current and active member and/or regular attendee of a local church. Able to fully support the Water Street Mission core values and ministry philosophy.

    But note: The instruction says 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. So we are fine. Now Essential Functions: We could split into subheadings? But we can keep as one section with subheadings maybe using

    ? Not allowed? Only

    for section headings; we could still use

    for subheadings but not specified. Safer to keep as one section with

    Essential Functions

    and then within we have paragraphs and lists. We need to separate Culture and Values, Role Specific Responsibilities, Supervision. We can do:

    Essential Functions

    Culture and Values

    but maybe not allowed. Could just treat as paragraphs with ? Not required. The instruction only says use

    for section headings. It doesn't forbid other headings. But to be safe, we can just use

    with bold text? However we need to preserve structure. Using inside

    is okay. But we need to use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Culture and Values list, we need a
