We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Content includes:
- Position Summary (description of role). Could be "About the role" section.
- Essential Functions And Duties (list of duties). Could be "Responsibilities".
- Required Education, Required Experience, Required Skills, Physical requirements, Mental Demands, etc. Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications" and "Skills". We need to decide.
The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, application instructions. Also remove "Direct Reports No", "EEO Statement", etc.
We need to include Benefits section if posting actually states them. The posting includes "Employee Benefits Available for FFF Enterprises Team Members" with a list of benefits. So we should include Benefits section.
Pay and Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's no pay or schedule info. So we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections.
We need to include About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (essential functions and duties). Requirements (education, experience). Qualifications maybe overlapping; but we can combine? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering education, experience, skills, physical/mental demands), Benefits. Possibly Skills separate if we have distinct skills list. But we could incorporate skills into Requirements.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. We need to not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Associate Product Manager (APM). Not to be used as heading. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Position Summary paragraph: "The Associate Product Manager (APM) collaborates with the Product Managers and is responsible for researching, understanding, and communicating the needs of suppliers to identify opportunities for the company. The APM will assist in setting the objectives and building a strategic product roadmap that fits with the overall strategy of the company. It is their job to coordinate activities between teams, including contracts, pricing, marketing and customer support to ensure a successful product launch." We can put that as
under About the role. Essential Functions And Duties: a long paragraph with many duties separated by periods. We need to turn into list items. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should split each duty into
- . We need to preserve all substantive info.

We can split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (the list of skills). Physical requirements and mental demands could be part of Requirements or separate but we can include them in Requirements as they are requirements.
We need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine Education/Experience/Physical/Mental into Requirements, and Skills separate.
Benefits: list includes many items. We'll create
- for each.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO statement, Direct Reports No, etc. Also remove "Employee Benefits Available for FFF Enterprises Team Members" heading? We'll keep benefits list but not the heading as we will use
Benefits
. The paragraph before list can be omitted. Also remove "Note: We comply with the ADA..." that's inside benefits? Actually it's after benefits list in parentheses. That is a note about accommodation; we could keep as part of benefits? It's not a benefit but a note. Might be considered boilerplate? It's about ADA compliance; could be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove it. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That note is legal/ADA compliance; could be considered legal boilerplate. We'll remove. Also remove "Hire may be subject to passing a medical examination, and to skill and agility tests." That's also legal. Remove. Now produce HTML. Structure:About the role
