Associate Manager, US Compensation

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the description includes intro paragraphs about company, then "From your PASSION to ours" etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate (EEO etc). Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove application instructions (none). We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Intro about company: could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could include description of role and company context. The posting includes description of company and role overview. We can put that under "About the role". Should we also have separate "Responsibilities" (Key Responsibilities). Yes. - "Requirements" section: includes qualifications list. - "Qualifications": maybe duplicate of requirements? The posting has "Requirements" and also "Qualified Applicants Will Contribute The Following". That's essentially qualifications. We could combine into one section "Requirements". But we have both "Requirements" and "Qualifications" as possible headings. We should not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. So we can have "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements". Possibly "Benefits": there is a paragraph about Total Rewards Program, benefits, insurance, retirement, PTO, education reimbursement. That's substantive. So include Benefits. - Pay: not specified (no salary range). So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: not specified. So omit. - Skills: could be part of Requirements; but we could include Skills if we want. However we already have Requirements covering skills. To avoid thin sections, we can omit Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. We need to use

for each heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove navigation etc (none). Also remove "Lactalis is an equal employment opportunity employer..." etc. We need to keep the description of company, role, responsibilities, requirements, benefits. Let's extract content. Intro paragraphs: "Description Ready for more than just a job? Build a career with purpose.

We must not repeat job title as heading (the page already shows it). So we don't put

  Associate Manager, US Compensation

  . Good. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. Structure:

  About the role

  ... (intro paragraphs)

  Responsibilities

  • ... each bullet? We have subheadings within responsibilities. Should we keep subheadings? The instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. It didn't forbid using headings inside lists? But we should keep only those section headings. Could we embed subheadings as or something? Not specified. Safer to keep responsibilities as a flat list of duties, maybe each bullet is a duty. But we have many duties grouped under categories. We could flatten them into list items, each item being a duty. However we risk losing grouping nuance but still preserve all info. Could also keep subheadings as

      ...:

      then list. But that adds extra headings not allowed? The instruction only says use

      for section headings (list). It doesn't forbid other headings like

      or . But to be safe, we can keep responsibilities as a list with each duty as

      . We'll include all duties from the bullet points.
