Associate Principal IT Product Lead - Digital Applications

We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes pay range and benefits details, so we can include Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule? Not mentioned; there is no schedule info (like full-time, part-time, shift). So we should not include Schedule heading. Also we need sections: About the role (summary/job purpose), Responsibilities (essential duties/responsibilities), Requirements (education/experience/knowledge/skills?), Qualifications maybe overlapping. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have summary/job purpose: "Summary/Job Purpose The Associate Principal IT Product Lead - Digital Applications, will lead a portfolio..." That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with paragraph. Responsibilities: The "Essential Duties/Responsibilities" section with many bullet points. We'll put those in

• . Requirements: Education/Experience/Knowledge/Skills & Abilities section includes education, experience, required knowledge, skills and abilities. Could split into Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (maybe same). But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings possible. We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine education/experience into Requirements, and knowledge/skills/abilities into Skills. Or we could have Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (maybe not needed), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). Let's see content: Education/Bachelor's etc, Experience minimum years, Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (leadership, strategic thinking, etc). Also there is "Travel Requirements" and "Environmental Requirements" etc. Those could be under Requirements? But we should not create sections with filler. Travel Requirements is a specific statement: occasional travel 5-10%. That's a requirement; could be included under Requirements as a bullet. Environmental Requirements: description of office, equipment, on-call availability. That's more about working conditions; could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like Working Conditions but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings list includes those specific ones, we should not create other headings. So we can incorporate travel and environmental details into Requirements or maybe into a paragraph under Requirements. Benefits: The posting includes benefits: 401k, medical, dental, vision, life/disability, FSA, discretionary annual bonus, stock purchase, long-term incentives, 15 vacation days first year, 17 paid holidays, up to 10 sick days. Also mention on-call availability? That's more working condition. So we can have Benefits section. Pay: base pay range $174,000 - $246,000 annually, plus note about geographic adjustment. So we include Pay. Schedule: Not present, so omit. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, accommodation email, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Complies with all policies and standards" maybe considered boilerplate? It's a generic statement; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of duties? It's a line at end of responsibilities: "Performs other duties as assigned Complies with all policies and standards". That's generic; we might drop it as boilerplate. Also "Supervisory Responsibilities No supervisory responsibilities." That's a statement; could be included under Responsibilities? It's a responsibility? It's a statement about no supervisory responsibilities. Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific. However we can keep it as a bullet under Responsibilities? It's not a duty but a clarification. Might be okay to keep. But we can also drop as it's not substantive. Safer to keep only substantive duties. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like education combinations, experience specifics, required knowledge, skills, abilities, travel, environmental, benefits, pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
