We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about BDA people etc. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually it's about company culture. Could be "About BDA" maybe. But we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have details:
Location Requirement: Work from Home, but be based in or near Spring, The Woodlands, or North Houston, TX Must be within a 1 hour driving commute to Spring, TX, and willing to meet in person regularly—this role thrives on boots-on-the-ground relationship-building.
The Opportunity: description.
What You’ll Do (list of duties). That's responsibilities.
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You: (list of fit criteria) - could be Requirements/Qualifications/Skills.
About BDA: company description.
Pay: base salary range $70,000 to $85,000 with additional bonus incentives when growing revenue. Also mention compensation determined based on factors, pay equity, internal equity, etc. Also mention total compensation includes robust PTO; vacation, a paid volunteer day, holidays and summer Fridays, Benefits; medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, 401k; tuition reimbursement, mental health and financial wellness programs and professional development opportunities including tuition reimbursement. Certain revenue-generating positions may be eligible for incentive compensation.
Thus we have Pay and Benefits sections.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. No schedule details. So we should not create Schedule section.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role? Could be "About the role" maybe summarizing the opportunity. But we have "The Opportunity" paragraph. Could be placed under "About the role". Or we could have "About BDA" but not in list; but we could put under "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings.
Thus:
- About the role: could include the introductory paragraph about BDA people and the opportunity description? Might be better to put company description under About the role? But we also have About BDA separate. Could combine.
But we need to avoid filler. We'll include About the role with a paragraph describing the role and company.
- Responsibilities: list from "What You’ll Do". Use - .
- Requirements: maybe from "You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:" includes location requirement, experience, etc. Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping; but we could split: Requirements (hard requirements like location, experience) and Qualifications (preferred). However we have limited distinct categories. Could just put Requirements and Qualifications both with content.
- Skills: maybe from "You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:" includes skills like B2B sales, promotional merchandise knowledge, etc. Could be Skills.
- Benefits: list from compensation paragraph.
- Pay: base salary range and bonus incentives.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual numbers.
We must not repeat job title. Not include navigation etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location requirement, travel, etc. Also mention that role thrives on boots-on-the-ground relationship-building.
We need to ensure we don't lose any details: The intro about BDA people, the opportunity, what you'll do, you'll be a great fit if you..., about BDA, pay, benefits.
Let's extract each piece.
Intro paragraph: "Most companies claim to have the best people. We say to them, 'Keep dreaming.' Our people are second to none. They set us apart with their entrepreneurial spirit and ambition. They come to us from the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, Nordstrom, Starbucks and the sports world, bringing energy, bold ideas and a willingness to dive into the unfamiliar. It's our people that make BDA the top global Merchandise Agency to work for."
That's substantive about company culture.
Location Requirement paragraph: "Location Requirement: Work from Home, but be based in or near Spring, The Woodlands, or North Houston, TX Must be within a 1 hour driving commute to Spring, TX, and willing to meet in person regularly—this role thrives on boots-on-the-ground relationship-building."
The Opportunity paragraph: "The Opportunity:We’re looking for a driven Account Manager with serious Promotional Merchandising, service provider DNA to grow and strengthen one of our key Fortune 500 accounts in the North Houston region. This isn’t a sit-behind-your-desk role. You’ll need to be local, energized by face-to-face connections, and ready to build something big."
What You’ll Do bullet list (looks like sentences separated by periods and dashes). Let's extract each duty:
- Identify, pitch, and close new opportunities within a large enterprise account.
- Personally and consistently build and deepen rapport, deliver samples, and host onsite meetings with client stakeholders — face-to-face relationship building is key.
- Leverage Salesforce to manage your time strategically — time-blocking to ensure urgent administrative tasks are handled without losing focus on activities that drive the business forward.
- Own your pipeline, forecasting, and revenue deliverables — you’ll be responsible for setting the pace and ensuring outcomes align with projections.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, merchandising, and product teams to bring creative ideas to life.
- Build and present custom account strategies that capture attention and align with client needs -- overall being the SME for all promotional merchandising needs!
- Monitor account health, drive upsell opportunities and continuously optimize services to exceed expectations.
- You will be responsible for not only maintaining revenue but also identifying growth opportunities and growing revenues for client and for BDA
(Note there is a double dash etc.)
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You: list:
- You live in the Spring, TX area and love to visit your client often.
- Experienced and are enthusiastic about B2B sales and driving account revenue.
- Deeply comfortable learning and building trust within Fortune 500 environments.
- Know how to ask the right questions and can pitch creatively, and then can give an overall summary of the takeaways and next-steps.
- Have a track record of growing accounts through strategic partnerships.
- Possess deep knowledge and experience in promotional merchandise industries.
- Thrive when out in the field — making connections and building trust – being the Subject Matter Expert your clients come to trust and rely on.

Pay paragraph: "We are pleased to share the base salary range for this position is $70,000 to $85,000 with additional bonus incentives when growing revenue. If you are hired at BDA, your compensation will be determined based on factors that may include geographic location, skills, education, and experience. In addition to these factors, we believe in the importance of pay equity and consider internal equity of our current team members as a part of any offer. In the spirit of pay transparency, the range listed is the full base salary range for the role and hiring at the top of the range would not be typical, in order to allow for future salary growth. The range listed is just one component of BDA’s total compensation and rewards programs, which includes: robust PTO; vacation, a paid volunteer day, holidays and summer Fridays, Benefits; medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, 401k; tuition reimbursement, mental health and financial wellness programs and professional development opportunities including tuition reimbursement. Certain revenue-generating positions may be eligible for incentive compensation."
Benefits: Actually the paragraph includes benefits list after "which includes:" It mentions robust PTO; vacation, a paid volunteer day, holidays and summer Fridays, Benefits; medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, 401k; tuition reimbursement, mental health and financial wellness programs and professional development opportunities including tuition reimbursement.
We need to separate Benefits and Pay. Pay section: base salary range and bonus incentives. Benefits section: list of benefits.
Culture paragraph about BDA being more than a workplace - it's a family, etc. Also EEO statement etc which we should remove (boilerplate). Also "Connect With Us!" etc remove.
We must not include EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So remove the paragraph starting with "BDA Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer." and following.
Also remove "Connect With Us! Not ready to apply? Connect with us for general consideration.For more information:www.bdainc.com For information about BDA's privacy policy for job applicants click here.Must be 18 years or older to apply."
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
Structure:
About the role
... (intro + location + opportunity maybe)
But we might split: About the role could include intro about BDA people and the opportunity description. Location requirement maybe part of Requirements.
Let's decide:
About the role: combine intro paragraph about BDA people and The Opportunity paragraph (maybe also mention it's not a sit-behind-desk role). Could also include location? But location is a requirement.
Responsibilities: the What You’ll Do list.
Requirements: location requirement + maybe "You live in the Spring, TX area and love to visit your client often." plus "Experienced and are enthusiastic about B2B sales and driving account revenue." plus "Deeply comfortable learning and building trust within Fortune 500 environments." plus "Have a track record of growing accounts through strategic partnerships." plus "Possess deep knowledge and experience in promotional merchandise industries." plus "Thrive when out in the field — making connections and building trust – being the Subject Matter Expert your clients come to trust and rely on." Also maybe "Know how to ask the right questions and can pitch creatively, and then can give an overall summary of the takeaways and next-steps." That's more skill.
Qualifications: maybe "Know how to ask the right questions and can pitch creatively, and then can give an overall summary of the takeaways and next-steps." plus "Experienced and are enthusiastic about B2B sales and driving account revenue." but we already used.
Better to separate: Requirements = hard requirements (location, experience, etc). Qualifications = preferred qualifications (track record, knowledge, etc). Skills = specific skills (B2B sales, promotional merchandise, Salesforce, relationship building, etc).
Let's extract:
Hard requirements:
- Work from Home, but be based in or near Spring, The Woodlands, or North Houston, TX
- Must be within a 1 hour driving commute to Spring, TX
