We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Overview, Job Description, OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE, Qualifications, Additional Information (includes hybrid location, benefits, compensation). We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The given text includes "Application Instructions Click Apply..." which we must remove. Also "Number of Positions: 1 Position Overview" maybe we keep overview but not number of positions? The instruction: "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 can include a short paragraph for metadata like location, hybrid, etc. But we have Benefits, Pay sections if present. The posting includes compensation range and benefits description. So we should have Pay section with compensation range. Benefits section with benefits details. Schedule? Not mentioned. Could omit Schedule. Responsibilities: we have Job Description with bullet points (Lead and Grow Philanthropic Revenue – 70%, etc). Those are responsibilities. So we can make a Responsibilities section with

  • . Requirements: Qualifications section. Skills? Could be part of Qualifications but we could separate Skills if present. The posting includes "Excellent communication, strategy, and project management skills", "Experience using Salesforce", etc. Those could be in Skills. But we can also include them in Qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include. About the role: we have Position Overview (first paragraph). That could be About the role. Responsibilities: Job Description. Requirements/Qualifications: maybe combine into Qualifications. Benefits: Benefits. Pay: Compensation. Schedule: not present, so omit. Skills: maybe not separate if covered. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Ensure we don't create empty sections. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. Position Overview (first): "City Year is a trailblazing, youth-powered organization committed to expanding educational equity by supporting students furthest from opportunity and developing the next generation of diverse leaders through national service. Each year, we deploy more than 2,000 AmeriCorps members in systemically under-resourced schools to serve as student success coaches—providing academic, social-emotional, and attendance-based interventions. City Year is active in 29 U.S. cities and has two international affiliates, supported by a $190M operating budget and a nationwide network of dedicated staff and champions. In New York and New England, City Year partners with schools and districts across New York State. Through these partnerships, City Year AmeriCorps members and its ambitions plan to grow its credit for service partnerships and Student Success Coach Learning Network, City Year aims to serve students and help strengthen school communities, while also developing the leadership pipeline of future educators and change-makers." That's a bit repetitive but we keep as is. Then "Position Overview City Year is seeking a Vice President, Development - Major Gifts, New York to lead, grow, and sustain philanthropic partnerships across the region, with a particular focus on major gifts, new donor acquisition, and strategic regional positioning. The VP will serve as the chief architect and driver of a multi-year growth plan focused on individual, family, and institutional giving, while expanding top-of-funnel business development efforts and strengthening City Year’s regional brand and visibility. This leader will work closely with the national Revenue & Growth team, local Executive Directors, Site Boards, national foundation and corporate teams, and broader leadership to increase philanthropic investment in City Year’s work. This is an exciting opportunity for a proven fundraiser and people leader to drive sustainable revenue growth in one of City Year’s most dynamic regions, with a focus on both deepening current partnerships and catalyzing new ones through strategic engagement, digital storytelling, and high-touch cultivation experiences." We could combine both overview paragraphs into About the role. Responsibilities: Job Description bullet points: - Lead and Grow Philanthropic Revenue – 70% - Serve as the lead strategist and relationship manager for a portfolio of individual donors, corporate partners, and family foundations with the capacity to make transformational or “big bet” six- and seven-figure investments - Partner with the Executive Directors and local Boards to develop and execute a multi-year fundraising plan with a focus on long-term revenue growth, major gifts, and new donor acquisition - Identify and engage prospective supporters by building a robust top-of-funnel pipeline, leveraging regional networks, corporate champions, and cross-sector partnerships - Conceptualize and execute intimate cultivation and thought leadership events to introduce new prospects to City Year’s work and deepen engagement with existing supporters - Collaborate with national major gifts, communications, foundation, and corporate teams to position New York and New England as a strategic priority region within City Year’s national portfolio - Advance City Year’s digital storytelling and thought leadership presence in the region, partnering with Communications to craft tailored, compelling content that inspires philanthropic engagement - Strengthen Internal Strategy, Capacity, and Systems – 15% - Partner with City Year’s national Individual Giving and Development teams to ensure local strategies are aligned with broader organizational goals - Support, coach, and advise local development staff and site leadership on fundraising best practices, moves management, and donor engagement - Ensure systems, workflows, and tools (Salesforce, dashboards, calendars) are optimized to support donor cultivation, stewardship, and forecasting - Drive Donor Stewardship, Visibility, and Regional Engagement – 15% - Design and lead a year-round regional stewardship and engagement strategy, tied to local impact moments and national campaigns. - Represent City Year at regional convenings, donor events, and other external opportunities to elevate visibility and build strategic partnerships. - Work with Marketing and Communications to tailor City Year’s national messaging for local audiences and deploy regionally relevant content and storytelling tools. We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll include these as list items under Responsibilities. Could keep the percentages as part of heading? Might be okay to include them in list items. Qualifications: list: - 8+ years of relevant experience, with a strong record in fundraising, business development, or nonprofit leadership - Demonstrated success securing major gifts at the $100K+ level and managing a portfolio of high-net-worth individuals and/or institutional donors - Proven ability to identify and engage new donors, design compelling cultivation experiences, and grow a top-of-funnel pipeline - Familiarity with philanthropic networks in New York and New England, with strong regional relationships preferred - Experience working within complex or matrixed national organizations - Excellent communication, strategy, and project management skills - Experience using Salesforce or similar CRM platforms to manage pipeline, forecasting, and donor insights - Strong commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, and an asset-based approach to fundraising and community engagement - Willingness to travel across New York and New England and to national convenings (~30%). We could also include "OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE" paragraph as part of Qualifications or separate? It's more narrative. Could be included in Qualifications as prose. We'll incorporate that paragraph as a

    before the list maybe. Benefits: from Additional Information: "City Year offers a competitive benefits package including paid vacation, parental leave, health coverage, 401(k) with employer match, and professional development support." Then later Benefits paragraph: "Full-time employees will be eligible for all benefits including vacation, sick days and organization holidays. You may participate in all benefit programs that City Year establishes and makes available to eligible employees, under (and subject to all provisions of) the plan documents that govern those programs. Currently, City Year offers medical, dental, vision, life, accidental death and dismemberment and disability coverage, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), and other benefits including 401(k) plan(s) pursuant to the terms and conditions of company policy and the 401(k) plan document." We'll combine. Pay: "Compensation: The anticipated hiring range for this position is $170,000–$190,000 annually, with final compensation based on relevant experience, qualifications, and internal equity." Schedule: not present, omit. We also need to include location/hybrid maybe as a short paragraph under About the role or separate? Could be included in About the role as a

    . The posting: "This is a hybrid position based in New York, NY, with in-person donor and event engagement across the region". We'll include that. Now construct HTML. We'll start with maybe not required but we can just output headings and content. We must not include /. We'll output something like:

      • ...
    • ...
    But nested lists maybe okay. Could flatten: each bullet as
  • with sub-bullets as
    • . That's fine. Qualifications:

      We must not include any extra sections like Schedule. Check for any boilerplate: we removed Application Instructions, Number of Positions, etc. Also removed "Employment at City Year is at-will. City Year does not sponsor work authorization visas." That's boilerplate/legal; remove. Also removed "For more information, click here." That's a link; remove. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info. Did we miss any? The "Position Overview" repeated twice; we combined. The "OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE" paragraph we included as prose. The qualifications list we included. The responsibilities we included with sub-bullets. The benefits we included. The pay we included. The hybrid location we included.
