We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Ingredion" then description, then "What You Will Do", "What You Will Bring", "Who You Are", "Why Join Ingredion?" plus location, workplace type, pay range, benefits. We must use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings. We have: - About Ingredion: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role description. But we have "About Ingredion" which is company overview. Could map to "About the role"? Not exactly. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. If we have content that matches those headings, we use them. If not, we might not use them? The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we need to decide which sections we have content for. We have: - Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" list of duties. That matches Responsibilities. - Requirements: "What You Will Bring" includes education, experience, ERP, SAP, etc. That matches Requirements/Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe similar to Requirements; we could combine or separate. But we have "Who You Are": soft skills, traits. That could be Skills or Qualifications. Could map to Skills. - Benefits: "Why Join Ingredion?" includes benefits description. Also later explicit Benefits paragraph. So we have Benefits. - Pay: we have Pay Range: $69,800.00-$93,066.67 Annual. Also mention incentive compensation. So we have Pay. - Schedule: we have Workplace Type: Hybrid. Also location. Could be Schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe we can treat as Schedule? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could include Schedule if we have info about work schedule/hybrid. We have Workplace Type: Hybrid. That's schedule/location. Could include Schedule. - About the role: we have a paragraph describing the role: "The Accountant is primarily responsible for preparing accrual entries..." That's more like role summary. Could be About the role. Thus we can include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must avoid thin sections. Ensure each has substantive content. Let's extract content: About the role: The Accountant is primarily responsible for preparing accrual entries and analyzing plant expenditures, preparing supplies and packaging adjustments and reporting, inventory analysis, reconciliations, yield reporting, monthly close preparation and required reporting along with forecasting and other ad hoc tasks. Focus is on accuracy, timeliness, and ownership of tasks. This Position will report to the Accounting Manager - F&II, US/CAN. We could also include location and workplace type maybe in About the role or Schedule. But we have separate Schedule. Responsibilities: list from "What You Will Do". We'll convert each bullet to
  • . Requirements: from "What You Will Bring": Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance required; 1+ years relevant experience; Experience using ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) costing systems. SAP experience preferred; Demonstrated ability to understand business processes/cost concepts; Demonstrated ability to identify issues, develop solutions and drive improvements; Ownership mindset on core responsibilities; Proven verbal and written communication skills with the ability to communicate to various levels within the organization; Proven proficiency in the use of MS Office (i.e., Excel, Word, PowerPoint). Qualifications: maybe we could treat "Who You Are" as Qualifications? But we already have Requirements. Could treat Qualifications as same as Requirements? Might be redundant. Better to map "Who You Are" to Skills. And maybe we don't need Qualifications separate if content overlaps. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings as examples; we can include both if we have distinct content. Let's see: "Who You Are: Strong analytical and critical thinking skills; Exhibits prioritization and organizational skills; Works collaboratively with peers and others; Embraces change and is open to new ideas and approaches; Flexibility in job responsibilities as part of overall team; Travel required as necessary". That's more like Skills/Attributes. So we can put that under Skills. Thus we can have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements - Skills - Benefits - Pay - Schedule We might omit Qualifications to avoid duplication. Now Benefits: from "Why Join Ingredion?" paragraph plus the explicit Benefits paragraph. We'll combine. Benefits content: "Total Rewards Package – Competitive salary and performance-based pay recognizing your contributions to our success Comprehensive Benefits & Wellness Support – Health, long-term savings, and resources for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being Flexible Work Arrangements – We value flexibility to support you both professionally and personally Career Growth – Learning, training, and development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement Employee Recognition Program – A culture of real-time appreciation, with personalized recognition rewards globally Employee Discount Program – Provides exclusive discounts on everyday products, services, and travel" plus "Full-time roles are eligible for our comprehensive benefits package which includes medical, dental and vision coverage as well as a 401(k) plan with an competitive company match." We'll format as
    • each benefit. Pay: Pay Range: $69,800.00-$93,066.67 Annual. Also mention incentive compensation: "Incentive Compensation: As a part of the total compensation package, this role may be eligible for the Ingredion Annual Incentive Plan or a role-specific commission/bonus." We'll include that. Schedule: Workplace Type: Hybrid; Location: Argo Plant, Bedford Park, IL. Also maybe travel required as necessary (but that's in Skills). We'll put location and hybrid. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll use

      for each section heading, then content:

      for prose,

      • for lists. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, AI, etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the sections we include. Let's extract each piece precisely. About the role paragraph: "The Accountant is primarily responsible for preparing accrual entries and analyzing plant expenditures, preparing supplies and packaging adjustments and reporting, inventory analysis, reconciliations, yield reporting, monthly close preparation and required reporting along with forecasting and other ad hoc tasks. Focus is on accuracy, timeliness, and ownership of tasks. This Position will report to the Accounting Manager - F&II, US/CAN." We should keep that exactly. Responsibilities list: each bullet from "What You Will Do". Let's list them: - Plant expenditure analytics and accruals – Prepare and analyze monthly spend accrual entries in various account subgroups across multiple plants. Support operations and finance to understand and accurately assess costs. - Monthly Variance Reporting – Prepare monthly analysis reports comparing actuals vs forecast for production, manufacturing expenses. Key drivers of variances communicated clearly and concisely to assist operations and finance in understanding of impacts. - Account Reconciliations – Prepare monthly account reconciliations in a timely manner to ensure internal control policies are being followed. - Forecasting/Budgeting – Work cross-functionally across plants to prepare monthly forecasts and periodic budgets (fixed and variable costs). - CWM (Corn Wet Milling) Yield/Corn Accounting Preparation – Prepare yield and corn accounting each month, analyzing data for reasonability. - Supplies/Packaging Adjustment/Analysis and Reporting – In charge of preparing, analyzing and adjusting supplies and packaging inventory/consumption to help operations and finance groups to understand and accurately assess usages. - Inventory management – Assist in physical inventory counts/reconciliations as required. - Audit/SOX Controls – Assist and help guide Audit data requests as needed. - Process Improvement – Conduct process reviews periodically to standardize and enhance procedures across the COE (Center of Excellence). Lead the implementation of improvements identified through this process. - Develop Relationships – Build and maintain collaborative relationships with all units and functional managers across local and remote locations to ensure accurate and timely reporting of plant financial performance. We need to keep the dash and content exactly. Requirements list: from "What You Will Bring": - Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance required - 1+ years relevant experience - Experience using ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) costing systems. SAP experience preferred - Demonstrated ability to understand business processes/cost concepts - Demonstrated ability to identify issues, develop solutions and drive improvements - Ownership mindset on core responsibilities - Proven verbal and written communication skills with the ability to communicate to various levels within the organization - Proven proficiency in the use of MS Office (i.e., Excel, Word, PowerPoint) We need to keep exactly. Skills list: from "Who You Are": - Strong analytical and critical thinking skills - Exhibits prioritization and organizational skills - Works collaboratively with peers and others - Embraces change and is open to new ideas and approaches - Flexibility in job responsibilities as part of overall team - Travel required as necessary We need to keep exactly. Benefits list: combine both paragraphs. First paragraph from "Why Join Ingredion?": - Total Rewards Package – Competitive salary and performance-based pay recognizing your contributions to our success - Comprehensive Benefits & Wellness Support – Health, long-term savings, and resources for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being - Flexible Work Arrangements – We value flexibility to support you both professionally and personally - Career Growth – Learning, training, and development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement - Employee Recognition Program – A culture of real-time appreciation, with personalized recognition rewards globally - Employee Discount Program – Provides exclusive discounts on everyday products, services, and travel Second paragraph: "Full-time roles are eligible for our comprehensive benefits package which includes medical, dental and vision coverage as well as a 401(k) plan with an competitive company match." We could add as a bullet: Comprehensive benefits package includes medical, dental and vision coverage as well as a 401(k) plan with a competitive company match. We need to keep the exact wording? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the exact sentences, not rephrase. So we can keep the sentence as is, maybe as a

        or as a

      • . Since it's a list of benefits, we can make it a
      • . The sentence: "Full-time roles are eligible for our comprehensive benefits package which includes medical, dental and vision coverage as well as a 401(k) plan with an competitive company match." We'll keep that. Pay: we have: - Pay Range: $69,800.00-$93,066.67 Annual - Incentive Compensation: As a part of the total compensation package, this role may be eligible for the Ingredion Annual Incentive Plan or a role-specific commission/bonus. We could make two

        • . Schedule: we have: - Location: Argo Plant, Bedford Park, IL - Workplace Type: Hybrid We could also include travel required as necessary but that's already in Skills. We'll make
        • for each. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, AI, relocation, etc. We
