Back-End Dept Supervisor

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Key Responsibilities" etc. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have responsibilities (key responsibilities). We have required qualifications. We have preferred qualifications. We have about Lowe's (company description). We have no explicit Pay, Schedule, Benefits (though there is a link to benefits but not details). So we should not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections because no specific content. We can have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), About the role? The posting includes "About Lowe’s" which is company info, not about the role. Could treat as "About the company" but not in list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use About the role for a brief description of the role? Not present. Could skip About the role if no content. We have Responsibilities (key responsibilities). We have Requirements (Required Qualifications). We have Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). We have maybe Skills? Not explicit. Could combine Preferred Qualifications as Skills? But better to keep Qualifications for preferred. We'll output sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, About Lowe's? Not in list but could be "About the role"? Not appropriate. Maybe we can add a section "About Lowe’s" as a heading? Not in allowed list but instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add other headings. So we need to fit company info somewhere maybe under Responsibilities? Not appropriate. Could omit company info? But must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include Lowe's description somewhere. Could put it under a heading "About the role" even though it's about company, but it's still substantive. The instruction says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to include a section "About the role" and put Lowe's description there, even if not exactly about role. Or we could put it under Responsibilities? No. Better: Use "About the role" heading and include Lowe's description as part of role context. It's acceptable. Thus sections: About the role (Lowe's description), Responsibilities (key responsibilities), Requirements (Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). No Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to format responsibilities as

• items. The responsibilities are many bullet-like sentences. We'll split each sentence as list item. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end and link to benefits. We'll remove that. Also remove "Starting rate of pay may vary..." that's pay info but it's vague; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. However we need to preserve substantive information; that sentence is about pay variability. It's not a specific pay amount. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors..." That's a statement about pay, but it's vague. Should we include it? It's not a specific pay figure, but it's still pay info. The instruction says never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state something about pay, albeit vague. But they also say never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). The phrase "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors..." is essentially "varies". That's filler. So we should not create a Pay section. We can maybe include that sentence somewhere else? But it's not responsibilities or qualifications. Could we put it under Responsibilities? No. Probably best to omit it as it's filler. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but that sentence is not substantive (it's vague). So we can drop it. Similarly "For information regarding our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." That's a link to benefits but not specific benefits. So we should not create Benefits section. We can drop that line. Now we need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
