We need to output HTML fragment with headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should create sections with those headings if content exists.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections have content.
Let's extract:
- About the role: The initial paragraph describing Amcor mission, values, etc. Could be considered "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says we can use About the role as a heading. We'll include that.
- Responsibilities: There's a big block under "Position Overview: Responsibilities" and then many bullet-like sentences. We'll extract responsibilities.
- Requirements: There's "Education Qualifications:" and "Experience" and maybe "Competencies". Those could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction distinguishes Requirements and Qualifications sections. We need to decide what goes where. Usually Requirements = education, experience, etc. Qualifications = maybe professional accreditation, etc. But we can combine? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine Education, Experience, Competencies into a single "Requirements" section, or separate Qualifications and Skills. Let's see.
The posting includes:
Education Qualifications: Minimum undergraduate degree in Accounting or Finance; Professional accreditation preferred (CPA, CA or similar)
Experience: 10 years of accounting and reporting experience in an international environment; experience; experience with SEC reporting and manufacturing strongly preferred; Experience leading and managing a team of direct and indirect professionals; Strong technical knowledge of US GAAP accounting and tax; ability to effectively communicate complex matters to non-technical audience; Strong interpersonal and decision-making skills; Fluency in English (written and spoken); Effective communicator at all levels with strong oral, written & influencing skills
Competencies: Amcor Leadership Framework Competencies Core Competencies Customer Focus Learning on the Fly Interpersonal Savvy Drive for Results 3-5 Applicable ALF Competencies Priority Setting Functional/Technical Skills Dealing with Ambiguity Organizing Process Management Required Finance Competencies Financial reporting / consolidation Financial, planning and analysis responsibility in a multi-national public company setting Shared service / transactional accounting management and collaboration Internal controls responsibility Profitability performance Standards & procedures alignment Restructuring program oversight Project management Required Leadership Competencies Strategic agility and problem-solving capability Strong communications skills – interpersonal, presentation, written, spoken Strong business acumen Drive for results Ability to lead and build effective teams; maintain effective relationships with all key stakeholders
Relationships: The position currently has 7 direct / indirect reports Colleagues / Key Interfaces ... etc.
Also there is a Benefits section later: "Benefits When you join Amcor, you will have access to a comprehensive benefits and compensation package that includes: ..."
Pay and Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections because no specific content.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Education, Experience, Competencies, Relationships?), Benefits.
We could also have a Qualifications section for professional accreditation etc. But to avoid many thin sections, we can put education, experience, competencies under Requirements. Or we could have Qualifications for education and professional accreditation, Skills for competencies. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, competencies, relationships), Benefits.
But we also have a "Relationships" piece about direct reports and interfaces. That could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements. It's more about the role's scope. Could fit under Responsibilities (team leadership). We already have team leadership in responsibilities. So we can incorporate that.
Thus final HTML:
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job description. First, there is an introductory paragraph about Amcor, but that's not a section heading; we can put it in a

But we need to remove navigation/social media links? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The social media links might be considered navigation? It's part of the "To learn more about playing for Team Amcor, visit www.amcor.com I LinkedIn I Glassdoor I Facebook I YouTube". That's like a call to action; maybe we keep it as it's part of the description? It's not boilerplate; it's a link to learn more. Might be okay. However, we could strip the "I LinkedIn I Glassdoor I Facebook I YouTube" as navigation? Might be considered navigation. Safer to remove those extra links, keep just the website? The instruction says remove navigation. So we should remove the social media icons. Keep maybe just "visit www.amcor.com". But that is still a link. Might be considered navigation. However, it's part of the description about learning more about Team Amcor. Might be okay to keep as plain text without the "I LinkedIn...". We'll keep "visit www.amcor.com". We'll remove the rest. Thus About the role paragraph: "Accelerate the possible by joining a winning Amcor team that’s transforming the packaging industry and improving lives around the world.

The posting has a block: "Position Overview: Responsibilities This Shared Services role is part of the North America (“NA”) Beverage Rigid Packaging Solutions (“RPS”) Business Group (“BG”) and reports to the BG Controller.
