AE - Merchandise Leader (Part-Time)
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
- Use - for lists,
for prose
- Do NOT repeat job title as heading (page already shows it)
- Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
- Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
- Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
- Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
- Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
- Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Now, let's map the content to appropriate sections:
1. "YOUR ROLE" -> This is an overview of the role. Could be "About the role" heading with a paragraph.
2. "Your Responsibilities" -> "Responsibilities" heading with a list (each bullet point is a responsibility).
3. "You'd Be Great For This Role If" -> "Requirements" or "Qualifications" heading with a list.
4. "Our Associates Love Aeo Because" -> "Benefits" heading with a list.
5. "About Us" -> "About the company" or similar? The rules mention "About the role" but not "About the company". However, the rules say use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). "About Us" is not in the example list, but it's substantive content. I think we can include it as a section, maybe "About the company" or just "About us". But the rules say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those if possible. However, "About Us" is a common section. I'll include it as "About the company" or "About us". Since the rules say "e.g.", it's not exhaustive. I'll use "About the company" as heading.
6. "Pay/Benefits Information" -> This contains pay and benefits details. The rules say never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here it does state them. So we can have "Pay" and "Benefits" sections? But the content is mixed. It says "Actual starting pay is determined by various factors..." and "Subject to eligibility requirements, associates may be eligible to receive paid sick leave and AEO may provide REAL rewards at its discretion. Paid Time Off, paid sick leave, and holiday pay vary by job level..." This is both pay and benefits. Could create a "Pay and benefits" section or separate. Since the rules mention Pay and Benefits as separate example headings, but the content is combined. I'll create a "Pay and benefits" section with paragraphs.
7. "JOB INFO" -> metadata: Job Identification, Job Category, Posting Date, Job Schedule, Locations. The rules say do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we should not create a heading for this. Instead, we can include a paragraph with the relevant details: schedule (part time), location (West Nyack, NY), posting date maybe. But the rules say "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." We can include a paragraph at the end with schedule and location. The posting date and job ID are minor metadata, we can drop or include in a short paragraph. I'll include a paragraph with schedule and location.
Now, we need to remove boilerplate: The EEO statement is boilerplate (equal opportunity employer). The rules say remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove that entire paragraph. Also the part about "For Brand Ambassador and Stock positions..." and "For all other store jobs..." is application instructions/boilerplate, remove.
Also the "Pay/Benefits Information" includes a link "please click HERE" - we should keep the text but not the link (since we're outputting HTML fragment, we could keep as text). But the rules say remove application instructions. The link is for additional information, maybe keep as text? I'll keep the text but not the hyperlink.
Now, let's structure the HTML:
-
About the role
... (the YOUR ROLE paragraph)
- Responsibilities
- You have a passion for merchandising: ...
- Floorsets are your "thing"! ...
- You're a merchandising innovator: ...
- You've got a "teamwork" mentality: ...
- You're a people person: ...
- Integrity is your middle name: ...
- Requirements
(or Qualifications)
- You love AE and Aerie products!
- You love organization and have attention to detail; priority-setting and time management are your strong suits.
- You have flexible availability - you're there to get product moving early in the morning, late in the evening and on the weekends.
- You have strong retail merchandising and visual skills and you have a history of retail work - #practicemakesperfect.
- Benefits
- They work with REAL people - there's nothing like your #AEOFamily.
- They're given opportunities for development, the chance to learn new skills, and are offered great potential for career advancement.
- They receive 40% off product at both AE & Aerie year-round (plus additional seasonal discounts with new Floorsets!)
- They participate in store contests for the chance to win FREE merchandise and other exclusive prizes.
- About the company

- Pay and benefits
Actual starting pay is determined by various factors, including but not limited to relevant experience and location.
Subject to eligibility requirements, associates may be eligible to receive paid sick leave and AEO may provide REAL rewards at its discretion. Paid Time Off, paid sick leave, and holiday pay vary by job level and type, job location, employment classification (part-time or full-time / exempt or non-exempt), and years of service. For additional information, please click HERE.
- Then a paragraph for metadata: maybe Part-time position in West Nyack, NY. Posted on 2026-10-19.
But the rules say fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. I'll include a short paragraph at the end.
But note: The rules say "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a paragraph with schedule and location. The posting date is also metadata. I'll include a paragraph: "Part-time schedule. Location: West Nyack, NY, United States. Posted: 2026-10-19."
Now, check for any filler/placeholder text: The pay section says "Actual starting pay is determined by various factors..." that's specific. The benefits section includes specific benefits. Good.
Now, ensure we don't have any headings with no content. All sections have content.
Now, output only the HTML fragment.
Let's write the HTML. Use proper indentation? Not required but fine.
We'll output:
