We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: 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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Keep all substantive info. We need to parse the description. Sections present: - Description (intro) maybe "About the role"? The description includes overview: Build your career..., PacAero..., The Opportunity..., etc. Could be "About the role". We'll include that as

About the role

with paragraphs. - Responsibilities: The Opportunity section lists duties: lead day-to-day accounting, oversee accounting across both locations, provide leadership, partner with site leadership, Block Controller, Corporate Finance, reports to GM, support month-end close, financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting, inventory and manufacturing accounting, cost analysis, internal controls, audit requirements, other key financial activities, limited travel. Also "Why PacAero?" maybe benefits. - Requirements: list of requirements: Financial Reporting & Accounting bullet points, Budgeting & Forecasting, Internal Controls & Process Improvement, Leadership & Team Collaboration. - Education/Qualifications: Bachelor's degree preferred, 5+ years progressive accounting experience in manufacturing, knowledge of MS programs, ERP proficiency, strong knowledge of US GAAP. - Competencies: communication, attention to detail, etc. Could be Skills. - Benefits: list under "Why PacAero? Benefits" includes medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, employer HSA contributions, PTO plus separate paid sick time, 12 paid holidays including birthday, company-paid life and disability insurance, opportunities for professional growth, bonus eligible. - Pay: There's a Pay section describing pay range good-faith estimate, final compensation based on factors. Also "Compensation & Benefits" paragraph repeats benefits. We'll include Pay section with that description. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned; only "This position is full-time, onsite in Agawam, MA." That's schedule info (full-time, onsite). So we can include Schedule section with that. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet point as list items. Let's extract details. About the role: combine first paragraphs: "Build your career with a growing aerospace manufacturer. PacAero Agawam (formerly Litron), part of Arxis, manufactures mission-critical components and assemblies for the aerospace, defense, industrial, and medical markets. Our Agawam facility brings together advanced CNC machining, RF/microwave package integration, hermetic sealing, laser welding, plating, and other specialized manufacturing capabilities. We’re a growing team of approximately 80 employees, which means this isn’t a role where you disappear into a large corporate finance department. You’ll be close to the business, work directly with site leadership, and have the opportunity to see the impact of your work. The Opportunity PacAero is looking for a hands-on, analytical Assistant Controller to lead day-to-day accounting and financial operations for our Agawam and Norton, Massachusetts business units. Based primarily in Agawam, this role will oversee accounting activities across both locations, provide leadership and direction to accounting team members at each site, and partner closely with site leadership, the Block Controller, and Corporate Finance. This position reports to the PacAero Agawam General Manager. This is a highly visible role for someone who enjoys being close to the business — understanding what is happening on the manufacturing floor, connecting operations to financial performance, strengthening processes and controls, and helping leaders make informed business decisions." We could split into paragraphs. Responsibilities: The bullet list from "The Assistant Controller will support month-end close, financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting, inventory and manufacturing accounting, cost analysis, internal controls, audit requirements, and other key financial activities across both business units." Also earlier duties: lead day-to-day accounting, oversee accounting activities across both locations, provide leadership and direction to accounting team members at each site, partner closely with site leadership, Block Controller, Corporate Finance, reports to GM, limited travel to Norton (

  • . Requirements: The sections under "Requirements" with subheadings: Financial Reporting & Accounting, Budgeting & Forecasting, Internal Controls & Process Improvement, Leadership & Team Collaboration. Each has bullet points. We'll flatten into a list? Could keep subheadings as

    ? But spec only says use

    for section headings; we can still use

    inside? Not prohibited but better to keep simple: maybe we keep as
      with items describing each duty. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep subheadings as inside
    • maybe. But spec didn't forbid other tags. Safer to keep as
      • and include the subheading text as part of the li. Education/Qualifications: list. Competencies/Skills: list. Benefits: list. Pay: description. Schedule: full-time, onsite in Agawam, MA. We must not include boilerplate like Export Control Requirements, EEO, etc. Remove those. Now produce HTML. Let's craft. First, About the role: maybe two paragraphs. Paragraph1: Build your career... up to "see the impact of your work." Paragraph2: The Opportunity PacAero... (the rest). We'll output. Responsibilities:

        We must ensure no duplicate content. Also we removed "Compensation & Benefits" paragraph that repeats benefits; we already have benefits. Check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The description also mentions "PacAero Agawam (formerly Litron), part of Arxis" included. Good. We also have "Why PacAero? Benefits" we captured. We also have "This position is bonus eligible" captured. We also have "Opportunities for professional growth" captured. We also have "Employer HSA contributions" captured. We also have "Company-paid life and disability insurance" captured. We also have "PTO plus separate paid sick time" captured. We also have "12 paid holidays — including your birthday" captured. We also have "Medical, dental, and vision insurance" captured. We also have "401(k) with a 100% company match on the first 4%" captured. We also have "Benefits are available on the first of the month following date of hire, in accordance with plan terms." That's substantive; we missed that. Should include in Benefits section maybe as a note. Add a
      • Benefits are available on the first of the month following date of hire, in accordance with plan terms.
      • Also "Compensation & Benefits PacAero offers a competitive compensation package along with a comprehensive benefits program." That's somewhat generic; but we already have benefits and pay. Could add a sentence in Pay or Benefits but it's somewhat filler. Might be okay to include as a brief paragraph in Benefits: "PacAero offers a competitive compensation package along with a comprehensive benefits program." Not required but we can include as a

        before list. However spec says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones; but adding a short sentence is okay. We also have "This position is bonus eligible" we have. We also have "Limited travel to our Norton, Massachusetts facility is required (less than 10%)." included. We also have "Based primarily in Agawam" included in responsibilities. We also have "You’ll be close to the business, work directly with site leadership, and have the opportunity to see the impact of your work." included in About. We also have "We’re a growing team of approximately 80 employees" included.
