We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "Do your Best Work in Mooresville This position is based at our headquarters in Mooresville, North Carolina. Our corporate office is a space where you can collaborate and do your best work. Take a walk, grab a bite (or a cup of coffee), work out or get a check-up – we invest in you so you can find your inspiration."
That's about location and environment. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role" includes description. We'll put that under . The text is a run-on sentences but we can split by sentences that start with "Responsible for" or "This position will". We'll create list items for each distinct duty.
Let's list responsibilities from the "What You Will Do" paragraph:
1. This position will document standards and criteria for category of responsibility.
2. Responsible for making continuous improvements to the planogram process through automations, process redesign, or technology recommendations

That's many items.
Now Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree Business, Merchandising, Supply Chain, or other related field. or equivalent years of experience in lieu of education requirement, if applicable
- 3 Years In retail merchandising, Planogramming or related background
- 3 Years Experience in a corporate, retail, or merchandising environment.
- 3 Years Demonstrated experience working cross-functionally with multiple stakeholders (e.g., vendors, merchandising, visual, operations).
- 1 Year Planogramming, space planning, or merchandising analytics (preferably in a retail environment).
- 1 Year Use of JDA Space Planning (or similar planogram software) to create, analyze, and proof planograms.
- 1 Year supporting or leading planogram resets, including execution handoffs to stores and vendor partners.
We could put these under Requirements or Qualifications. The spec says we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred? But we also have Preferred Skills/Education section.
We have "Preferred Skills/Education 1 Year Strong analytical background with the ability to interpret and communicate business, financial, and operational data."
Thus we can put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements (or Qualifications) and Preferred under Skills.
We need to decide mapping: Use Requirements for mandatory qualifications, Qualifications for maybe education? But we have both. Let's assign:
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (the bullet list)
- Qualifications: maybe education? But we already included education in minimum. Could also put nothing else; but we must not create empty sections. So we could omit Qualifications if no distinct content beyond what's in Requirements. However we have Preferred Skills/Education which could go under Skills.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills.
We also have Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not provided specific details. There's a line: "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience." That's vague, not specific numbers. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention pay may vary but not specific rate. That's not specific content; we should not create Pay section. Benefits: there is a link to benefits page but no description. So we should not create Benefits. Schedule: not mentioned.
Thus we output only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills.
Now we need to format.
About the role: combine intro and Your Impact maybe.
Paragraphs: We'll have maybe two
About the role
with paragraphs. - "Your Impact This position is responsible for end to end process ownership of micro space planning for their department/category and serves as point of contact for Micro Space to core merchandising. This position will work cross functionally to analyze and optimize all categories within their responsibility and ensure the merchandising intent on the planogram aligns with strategy. The output of this role will be to improve space productivity, operational efficiency and enhance the customer shopping experience" That's also role description. Could be part of About the role or separate "Your Impact". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine "Your Impact" into About the role or Responsibilities. Probably About the role includes overview. Responsibilities will list duties. - "What You Will Do" then a long list of responsibilities. That's clearly Responsibilities. We need to extract each bullet aselements. First p: "Do your Best Work in Mooresville This position is based at our headquarters in Mooresville, North Carolina. Our corporate office is a space where you can collaborate and do your best work. Take a walk, grab a bite (or a cup of coffee), work out or get a check-up – we invest in you so you can find your inspiration." Second p: "Your Impact This position is responsible for end to end process ownership of micro space planning for their department/category and serves as point of contact for Micro Space to core merchandising. This position will work cross functionally to analyze and optimize all categories within their responsibility and ensure the merchandising intent on the planogram aligns with strategy. The output of this role will be to improve space productivity, operational efficiency and enhance the customer shopping experience" We could keep as one paragraph but it's fine. Now Responsibilities:
- each item. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information; no invention. We'll list each responsibility as separate
- . Ensure we don't lose any details. Let's craft each li exactly as the sentence(s) from the posting. I'll copy each bullet: 1. This position will document standards and criteria for category of responsibility. 2. Responsible for making continuous improvements to the planogram process through automations, process redesign, or technology recommendations 3. This position will be responsible for onboarding of new employees and continued training of Planogram Analyst and Planogram Senior Specialist teams on new processes 4.
