Bank Manager
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We 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 boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have content: description of role (guiding, etc.) includes many responsibilities. Also qualifications and skills listed. Also salary range and pay type. Also benefits mentioned: health insurance, tuition reimbursement, accident and life insurance, retirement savings plans. Also mention "U.S. Only: This position will act as an originator of consumer loans..." etc. That's part of responsibilities/qualifications? It's a specific requirement: Federal registration with NMLS, background check, credit history, restrictions. Should be included perhaps under Requirements or Qualifications.
We need to decide sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications/experience), Skills (list of skills), Benefits, Pay. Schedule not mentioned, so omit.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated: Salary: $50,000.00 - $100,000.00 Pay Type: Salaried. Benefits: health insurance, tuition reimbursement, accident and life insurance, retirement savings plans. So include Benefits and Pay sections.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can condense into bullet lists but must not lose info. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to avoid duplication. The posting has many sentences; we can extract responsibilities as bullet points.

Skills list similar to qualifications; but we have both Qualifications and Skills sections. The posting lumps skills under Qualifications. We could make a Skills section for the in-depth skills (communication, collaboration, analytical, influence, data-driven). Qualifications section for experience, education, knowledge.
Benefits: health insurance, tuition reimbursement, accident and life insurance, retirement savings plans.
Pay: Salary range $50,000.00 - $100,000.00 Pay Type: Salaried. Also note commission structure etc. We should include that note?

For commission roles, the salary listed above represents BMO Financial Group’s expected target for the first year in this position. BMO Financial Group’s total compensation package will vary based on the pay type of the position and may include performance-based incentives, discretionary bonuses, as well as other perks and rewards." This is substantive info about pay. Should we include? It's about pay, so we can include in Pay section as prose.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes a large EEO block at end; we must remove that. Also "About Us" section and "Note to Recruiters" etc. Must remove.
Thus final HTML: sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary paragraph), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements (ul), Skills (ul), Benefits (ul), Pay (p). Ensure no empty sections.
Let's craft.
About the role: Could be first sentence: "Guides, directs, and coaches employees to deliver exceptional service to BMO customers and prospects." But that's also a responsibility. Maybe we can have a short paragraph summarizing role: "The role involves guiding and coaching employees, understanding customer needs, advising on products, making referrals, supporting sales and service activities, ensuring compliance, fostering BMO culture, developing branch business plans, and driving growth." We need to preserve all substantive info; we can't lose details. However we can keep the detailed responsibilities in list; the About section can be a brief overview but must not omit info that is only in that overview. Since we will list all responsibilities in detail, we can keep About as a short summary that doesn't omit unique info not elsewhere. But we must ensure we don't lose any info that is only in the overview and not repeated elsewhere. The overview sentences are mostly covered in responsibilities list. Let's check: The first sentence "Guides, directs, and coaches employees to deliver exceptional service to BMO customers and prospects." appears also as a responsibility bullet. So fine. The second sentence "Understands the needs of BMO customers or prospects to provide sales and service in the best interests of the customer." also appears as responsibility. Third "Advises customers on products and strategies that meet their financial objectives." also appears. Fourth "Identifies and makes referrals to other business groups." appears. Fifth "Supports sales and customer service activities to meet strategic customer experience and profitability goals in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the Bank’s policies and processes." appears. So we can omit About section entirely? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could omit About if we have Responsibilities covering all. But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does have an introductory paragraph that is essentially responsibilities. Since we will capture those in Responsibilities, we could skip About. However we might still include About as a brief paragraph but risk duplication. Safer to omit About and start with Responsibilities.
Thus sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
Now craft HTML.
We need to use

Inside each, use - for lists,
for prose.
For Responsibilities: many items; we can break into
with each duty as - . Ensure we keep all details.
For Requirements: list of experience/education etc plus US-only registration etc.
For Skills: list of in-depth skills.
For Benefits: list.
For Pay: prose
containing salary range, pay type, commission note, etc.
Let's draft.
