Advanced Analytics and AI Lead

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs: "At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence..." That's about the role/company. Then "The opportunity" paragraph describing role. Then sections: Essential Functions (list of bullet points). Then subheadings: Talent Intelligence Strategy & Executive Advisory, Advanced Analytics & AI Solutions, Generative AI, Copilot & Agentic Solutions, Data Products & Platform Leadership, Insights, Storytelling & Executive Communications, Leadership & Capability Development, Analytical/Decision Making Responsibilities, Knowledge and Skills Requirements (with subcategories), Supervision Responsibilities, Other Requirements, Job Requirements (Education, Certification Requirements, Experience), What We Offer You (Canada) (benefits). Also maybe "Pay" not specified, so we should not include Pay section. Schedule not specified. Benefits we have details in What We Offer You (Canada). So we need sections: About the role (maybe combine intro and The opportunity). Responsibilities? Could map Essential Functions as Responsibilities. Requirements? Could map Knowledge and Skills Requirements, Job Requirements, Other Requirements, Supervision Responsibilities? But we need to follow instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate. We should not repeat job title. We should not include Job ID etc. We need to decide which sections to include based on presence of specific content. - About the role: we have introductory paragraphs describing EY and the opportunity. So we can create

About the role

with

containing that text. - Responsibilities: we have Essential Functions and sub-sections (Talent Intelligence Strategy..., Advanced Analytics..., etc). Those are responsibilities. So we can create

Responsibilities

with maybe

• for each bullet. However there are many subheadings inside. We could either keep subheadings as

  ? But instruction only mentions using

  for section headings; we can still use other headings? Not prohibited but better to stick to

  for sections; we can embed subheadings as or

  maybe. But we need to preserve all substantive information. Could output each responsibility as list items, preserving the subheadings as part of the item text. Simplify: Under Responsibilities, we can have a

  with each major responsibility as
  • containing the description (including sub-bullets). Could also nest
    for subpoints. - Requirements: we have Knowledge and Skills Requirements (with subcategories), Job Requirements (Education, Certification, Experience), Other Requirements, Supervision Responsibilities. Could combine into Requirements section with sub-sections maybe using

    but not required. Could just list as

    items. - Skills: maybe separate? But we already have Knowledge and Skills Requirements includes skills. Could map Skills section to that. - Benefits: we have What We Offer You (Canada) describing benefits. So

    Benefits

    with
    items. - Pay: not specified, so omit. - Schedule: not specified, omit. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, inclusiveness, accommodation request, etc. The posting ends with inclusiveness paragraph; we should remove that. Also remove "Apply today." and accommodation request lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we keep details about responsibilities, requirements, benefits. Let's extract content. Intro: "At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence. We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world."
