We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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 include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove "Applications will be accepted through 18th September 2026..." etc. Also remove "Who we are:" etc. Also remove "Compensation at Pearson is influenced by factors..."? Actually compensation is specific: salary range $105,000 – $135,000, eligible for annual incentive program. So we can include Pay section with that. Benefits: "Information on benefits can be found here." That's not specific content; it's a link placeholder. Should we include Benefits section? The rule: never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states "Information on benefits can be found here." That's not specific benefit details. Likely we should not include Benefits because it's not substantive. However there is mention of annual incentive program; that could be part of Pay or Benefits. But we can include Pay with salary range and annual incentive. Benefits maybe omitted. Schedule: posting says "This is a primarily remote role, with occasional travel for in-person collaboration with colleagues and customers." Also later: "Schedule: FULL_TIME Workplace Type: Remote". So we can include Schedule section with full-time, primarily remote, occasional travel. About the role: we have Position Summary paragraph. That's suitable. Responsibilities: we have "What You’ll Do" with subheadings Research & Insight, Design & Prototyping, Collaboration & Strategic Influence, Mentorship & Team Contribution. We can combine into Responsibilities section with lists. Requirements: maybe "What We’re Looking For" includes Experience & Education, Skills & Competencies, Preferred Qualifications. We can separate Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred) or Skills. The instruction: use headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We need to decide what goes where. About the role: Position Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: the "What You’ll Do" section (Research & Insight, Design & Prototyping, Collaboration & Strategic Influence, Mentorship & Team Contribution). We'll create

• for each bullet? The content is paragraphs; we can break into list items for each major duty. Could also keep prose but rule: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert duties into list items. Requirements: maybe the mandatory experience/education: "7+ years of experience in UX design or a closely related discipline, with a portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex, shipped products and measurable impact on user outcomes. Experience conducting usability tests and mixed-method research activities, gathering insights through interviews, contextual inquiry, and usability studies, and translating findings into actionable design decisions. Experience designing for AI-powered product features, such as conversational interfaces, adaptive systems, generative content surfaces, or ML-driven recommendations. A strong portfolio and track record matter most to us. A Bachelor’s degree in HCI, interaction design, cognitive science, or a related field is welcomed, but candidates from all educational backgrounds, including bootcamp graduates and self-taught designers, are equally encouraged to apply. Experience working in Agile or Lean UX environments, collaborating closely with engineering and product throughout the delivery cycle." Qualifications: maybe "Skills & Competencies" is skills; but we have separate Skills heading. So Qualifications could be "Preferred Qualifications". That includes experience in K-12 education sector, familiarity with AI-assisted design and research tooling, background in mixed-methods research, understanding of pedagogy and instructional design principles, familiarity with LMS. Skills: the Skills & Competencies list. Pay: salary range and annual incentive program. Schedule: full-time, primarily remote, occasional travel. We must not include boilerplate like "Applications will be accepted through..." etc. Also remove "Who we are:" etc. Also remove "Compensation at Pearson is influenced by factors including skill set, experience, and location." That's generic; we can keep the specific salary range and annual incentive. The generic sentence maybe considered boilerplate; we can drop it. Also remove "Information on benefits can be found here." (no specifics). So we omit Benefits section entirely. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

    Similarly for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Make sure to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract details. About the role paragraph: "Pearson Virtual Schools is seeking a Senior UX Designer to lead the design of AI-powered learning experiences for students, teachers, and families across our K–12 virtual school platforms. In this role, you will work end-to-end, from framing design problems and contributing to user research through prototyping and validating high-fidelity experiences that reach hundreds of thousands of learners. You will partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, Data Analytics, and UX Research to translate learner insights and business goals into intuitive, accessible, and engaging product experiences, including interfaces that make AI-driven features legible and trustworthy for students and educators. This is a role for someone who moves fluidly between ambiguity and precision: contributing to the research needed to frame a problem clearly, then execute with craft and rigor to solve it well. You will influence product strategy and roadmap decisions, contribute to our shared design system, and raise the quality bar for the team around you. We are looking for candidates who are excited by hard questions about how people learn, motivated by improving learning outcomes, and ready to design for a generation of learners whose expectations of digital experiences are higher than ever. This is a primarily remote role, with occasional travel for in-person collaboration with colleagues and customers." Note: The last sentence about remote/travel could also go to Schedule, but it's also part of About the role. We'll keep it in About the role; but we also need Schedule section with specifics. Might duplicate; but we can keep both. However rule: preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep it in both places? Might be duplication but okay. Better to keep remote/travel in Schedule and maybe keep a brief mention in About the role? The About the role currently includes that sentence; we could keep it there as part of summary. It's fine. Now Responsibilities: break down. From "What You’ll Do": Research & Insight: - Conduct usability tests, structured interviews, and contextual observations to validate design decisions and uncover user needs throughout the design process. - Partner with Product and UX Research to contribute to study design, synthesize findings, and translate insights into clear design direction. - Interpret qualitative and quantitative signals, including product analytics, usability results, and A/B test outcomes, to inform and validate design decisions. - Identify usability and engagement gaps through prototype testing and ongoing user feedback, resolving issues before they reach production. - Stay current with evaluation methods and UX best practices, sharing relevant techniques that strengthen the team’s design process. Design & Prototyping: - Own end-to-end product design, from user flows and rough concepts through wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and developer-ready specifications, driving an iterative process from first concept to final handoff. - Design AI-powered experiences including conversational interfaces, adaptive learning flows, generative content surfaces, and intelligent recommendation features, making complex AI and ML outputs intuitive and trustworthy for K–12 users. - Think in systems: design for all states, edge cases, error conditions, and empty states, not just the happy path, so every scenario a learner encounters has an intentional, considered response. - Deliver responsive designs across web and mobile, ensuring layouts and interactions hold up across devices, breakpoints, and screen sizes. - Use AI tools as design accelerants, including AI design tools, to iterate on more concepts faster and bring ideas to life earlier in the process. - Define and maintain interaction patterns, UX standards, and component contributions for the shared design system, ensuring consistency and quality across products. - Treat accessibility as a design foundation: ensure all work meets WCAG 2.2 standards from the start, not as a late-stage check. Collaboration & Strategic Influence: - Partner with Product Management, Engineering, and Data Analytics to shape product direction, influence roadmap prioritization, and support investment decisions with design rationale grounded in user insight. - Communicate research findings and design decisions in compelling, story-driven ways, tailoring the narrative for audiences ranging from engineers to product leadership to business stakeholders. - Balance user needs, business goals, and delivery constraints to advocate for decisions that move the product forward without compromising the learner experience. - Champion underserved user groups, including students with disabilities, English language learners, and students in under-resourced settings, as an active voice in every product conversation. Mentorship & Team Contribution: - Serve as a mentor across the design team, sharing expertise in design craft, research methods, and decision-making to support the growth and quality of the team. - Contribute to team practices, design critique, workshop facilitation, shared documentation, and workflow improvements, that raise the efficiency and quality of the broader team. - Model a standard of curiosity, rigor, and craft that sets the bar others aspire to reach.
