We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties & Responsibilities), Qualifications (Qualifications & Requirements), maybe Preferred Experience? Could be part of Qualifications or separate. Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay: we have salary range. So include Pay section. Schedule not mentioned. Benefits not mentioned. So sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. Possibly also "Preferred Experience" but we can include under Qualifications or separate. But rule: include a section only when posting has real specific content. Preferred Experience is present, so we could have a "Preferred Experience" section. However they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list Preferred Experience but we could still include if content. But they said use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems they expect those headings only. So we should map content to those headings. "Qualifications & Requirements" -> Qualifications. "Preferred Experience" could go under Qualifications or Skills. Probably under Qualifications. "Success Measures" maybe not needed. Could be omitted. "About Us" maybe not needed as it's boilerplate? It's about company, maybe not required. They said remove boilerplate like legal/EEO etc. About Us maybe not boilerplate but could be considered generic; but we might keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." About Us is not that, but could be considered fluff. However they said preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. About Us is substantive? It's generic marketing. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. Safer to omit? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." About Us is not directly about the role. Might be omitted. We'll focus on role. Thus sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties as list items. That's many. We'll create

      with each duty as
    • . Ensure we keep the text exactly as in posting? We can copy sentences. Must not invent. We'll preserve. Similarly qualifications list: we need to list each requirement as
    • . We'll include bullet points. Pay: we have base salary range. We'll put in

      . We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not put Job ID etc. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not create Benefits or Schedule sections. Thus output HTML fragment:

      Pay

      The base salary range for this position is between $76,000 and $114,000. Placement within the pay range is at Grant Thornton’s discretion, and it is based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, job-related knowledge/skills, experience, business needs, progression within the role, geographic location, and internal equity. At Grant Thornton, compensation decisions are dependent upon the facts and circumstances of each position and candidate.

      We need to ensure we include all duties and qualifications exactly. Let's extract duties from "Essential Duties & Responsibilities:" list. I'll copy each sentence after that heading until "Qualifications & Requirements". Let's list: - Help maintain data governance documentation that supports acquired-company integration, including standards, roles, ownership lists, stewardship trackers, escalation paths, and performance metric inputs. - Support governance activities for data transformation initiatives, including data migration, integration, modernization, archival, reporting, and analytics enablement workstreams. - Support build-out of the data estate inventory for assigned acquisitions, capturing structured application data alongside mailboxes, file storage, collaboration sites, chat and meeting content, service management records, and line-of-business repositories. - Record content attributes in the inventory, including category, sensitivity, ownership, business purpose, volume, and disposition, and keep entries current as discovery progresses. - Prepare summaries of content categories and handling direction for use by integration teams during migration planning. - Assist with review of unstructured and semi-structured content for regulated, privileged, personal, and client-confidential material, and document findings for follow-up. - Maintain ownership documentation for acquired-company data domains and track domains where an accountable owner has not yet been identified. - Maintain approval records for new or materially changed use of data, and for external sharing and third-party access, so the approval trail stays complete. - Flag data appearing in the environment without established ownership, registration, or approval, and route it for review. - Apply enterprise retention categories to acquired-company data and content under direction, and escalate items that do not classify cleanly. - Maintain records of retention periods, retention triggers, and disposal timing for acquired-company data and archived datasets, and track upcoming disposal eligibility. - Support disposal activities by preparing schedules, collecting approvals, and capturing evidence of completion. - Check and record legal hold and business hold status ahead of disposal, decommissioning, or archival activity, and maintain hold records through to release. - Document circumstances that extend retention beyond standard periods, including inherited contractual commitments, audit activity, and content with long-term business value, and help prepare exception or extension requests. - Capture record retention determinations made by service line quality and risk stakeholders for audit, tax, and advisory work, and reflect them in working documentation. - Record jurisdictional differences for assigned entities, including local privacy, data residency, and statutory retention requirements, and flag conflicts for review. - Support data quality and standardization activities by preparing profiling summaries, issue logs, remediation trackers, reconciliation evidence, and quality gate checklists. - Maintain data definitions, critical data element lists, metadata entries, lineage notes, and ownership documentation for assigned data domains or integration workstreams. - Maintain catalog and business glossary entries for assigned scope so consumers can determine meaning, context, and appropriate use. - Help coordinate data stewardship activities by tracking assigned actions, meeting notes, follow-ups, status updates, and open issues with data owners and stewards. - Assist with the use of governance technologies such as data catalog, metadata management, lineage, data quality, master data management, and data issue management tools. - Support IT, data platform teams, and vendors by documenting requirements, validating tool outputs, and preparing rollout or training materials for governance tools. - Assist Legal, Privacy, Risk, Compliance, and Security stakeholders with documenting data classification, access controls, masking requirements, retention expectations, and disposal evidence. - Prepare governance reports and status materials using inputs such as data quality scores, policy adherence, stewardship engagement, remediation progress, issue aging, and readiness status. - Maintain dashboards, trackers, meeting materials, and issue logs that communicate governance progress, risks, decisions needed, and assigned action items. - Participate in cross-functional working sessions and document decisions, actions, ownership, and follow-up items related to data governance and transformation readiness. - Support source-to-target mapping, lineage documentation, reconciliation tracking, data issue resolution, and integration readiness activities during acquired-company transformation efforts. - Promote consistent governance practices by maintaining accurate documentation, following enterprise standards, and helping teams understand governance requirements. - Identify opportunities to improve templates, trackers, documentation quality, reporting routines, and repeatable governance support processes. - Other duties as assigned. Now qualifications list from "Qualifications & Requirements" until "Preferred Experience". Let's extract: - 2+ years of experience in data governance, data management, data quality, data integration, records and information management, analytics, privacy and compliance, project coordination, or related enterprise technology roles. - Experience supporting data governance, data quality, data documentation, data migration, integration, archival, analytics, or transformation activities. - Exposure to unstructured content environments such as mail, file storage, or collaboration platforms, in addition to structured application data. - Basic understanding of records retention concepts, including retention categories, retention periods, and disposal. - Awareness of legal hold obligations and why routine disposal must be suspended when a hold is in effect. - Exposure to merger, acquisition, divestiture, or acquired-company technology and data integration initiatives preferred. - Basic understanding of data governance concepts, including data ownership, data stewardship, critical data elements, metadata, data quality, lineage, catalog and glossary practice, retention, and governed data delivery. - Experience maintaining data quality trackers, remediation logs, reconciliation evidence, issue lists, meeting notes, documentation, or readiness materials. - Familiarity with data catalogs, metadata platforms, data quality tools, workflow tools, reporting tools, or data issue management capabilities preferred. - Basic understanding of privacy, data classification, access management, masking, retention, and internal policy controls preferred. - Ability to work with business and technology stakeholders, follow structured processes, and maintain accurate governance documentation. - Strong organizational, analytical, communication, documentation, and follow-up skills. - Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Data Analytics, Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field required; relevant data governance, privacy, records management, project management, or data certifications preferred.

We could include these under Qualifications as well, maybe as a separate subsection but we only have Qualifications heading. We could incorporate them into Qualifications list. That's fine. Now "Success Measures" list: we could omit as not under allowed headings. Could be omitted. Now "About Us" we might omit. Now produce HTML. Make sure to wrap each section with

      heading then content. For About the role: we need position summary paragraph. Let's copy the position summary text: "Grant Thornton GTech’s vision is centered around enabling scalable, secure, and repeatable data transformation capabilities that support enterprise transformation, mergers and acquisitions, and modern analytics. The Data Transformation & Governance function is responsible for embedding governance, quality, stewardship, compliance, and data standards into transformation initiatives so that data from acquired companies is accurate, secure, compliant, and ready for analytics and business decision-making. Scope extends well beyond structured data. Every acquisition arrives with records held in mailboxes, personal and shared file storage, collaboration sites, chat history, service management platforms, and line-of-business applications, alongside the structured data in HR, finance, and client systems. Much of the firm’s retention and legal exposure sits in that unstructured content rather than in the database tables. This function is expected to see the whole estate, catalog it, determine how each category should be handled, and advise the integration
