Business DevelopmentFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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, but remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, 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 mentions: "Full-time colleagues are typically scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week, while part-time colleagues are typically scheduled 12-24 hours per week. Hours are dependent on business needs and colleague availability." That's schedule info. Also "We offer a dynamic, inclusive environment with competitive pay and benefits." No specific pay amount. So we cannot create Pay section because no specific pay figure. Benefits: they list benefits: "competitive pay and benefits", "comprehensive health and wellness coverage and a 401(k) match", "paid time off and eight paid holidays", "continuous learning and leadership development", "Colleague Resource Groups", "volunteer opportunities", "Merchandise discounts", "Performance-based incentives", "Annual merit review", "Employee Assistance Program with mental health counseling and legal/financial advice". Also later: "Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more." So we have benefits content. So we can include Benefits section.
Schedule: we have schedule info (full-time 30+ hours, part-time 12-24). So we can include Schedule section.
Pay: no specific pay amount, only "competitive pay". That's vague; rule says do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It states "competitive pay" but no number. Likely we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It says "states them" meaning mentions them? It does state competitive pay, but it's not a specific figure. Might be considered stating them? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "competitive pay" is vague but not placeholder like "varies". It's still vague but maybe acceptable? However they gave example of filler: "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "competitive pay" is not exactly those but still not specific. Safer to omit Pay section.
Now we need sections: About the role (Job Overview), Responsibilities (What You Will Do / How Our Counter Managers Spend Their Day...), Requirements (maybe "Who You Are And What You Will Do" includes qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe "3–5 years of relevant retail, beauty, or leadership experience preferred" etc.), Skills (maybe list of abilities), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information, but we can condense into lists where appropriate.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove "About Us" maybe? That's not a required heading but could be considered part of About the role? The "About Us" section is generic story about Macy's; could be considered part of About the role? But we already have About the role (Job Overview). The "About Us" is more about company; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not required but maybe we can include as part of About the role? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "About Us" is not exactly boilerplate but it's generic marketing; could be considered not substantive for the role. Might be safe to omit.
We need to include all substantive info from the job overview, responsibilities, etc.
Let's extract:
Job Overview paragraph: "As a Counter Manager, you will lead a dynamic team of Beauty Advisors while managing all aspects of a specific cosmetics brand. Your role blends leadership, creativity, and customer engagement—delivering genuine hospitality through personalized consultations, expert product application, and a deep understanding of each customer’s beauty and style preferences.

In addition to meeting and exceeding sales goals, you’ll analyze business performance, execute vendor events and promotions, and partner with vendors and store leadership to grow the business. You'll also oversee stock presentation, hygiene standards, and team performance to ensure an exceptional and polished brand experience."
That's About the role.
How Our Counter Managers Spend Their Day…: details about daily activities: start with positive example, wearing name badge, greeting colleagues, ensuring counter polished, reviewing daily sales goals, staying informed on new launches, top-performing products, current beauty trends; on floor: welcoming customers, making eye contact, starting friendly conversations; help maintain shoppable space: testers clean, signage/current, displays reflect brand standards; lead by example jumping in to support merchandising updates; help team Finish Strong: coaching them to share Loyalty benefits, ensuring customers leave with everything they need, ending interaction with sincere thank-you using name and personal touch; model collaboration, honesty, care; strive to improve every day, take pride, achieve sales goals, learn from each other.
That's responsibilities/daily duties.
Then "Full-time colleagues are typically scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week, while part-time colleagues are typically scheduled 12-24 hours per week. Hours are dependent on business needs and colleague availability." That's schedule.
Then "Who You Are And What You Will Do" bullet list (actually sentences) of duties: Deliver exceptional customer service through personalized consultations and expert product knowledge; Build lasting relationships with clients and drive client development through outreach and follow-up; Review and analyze business performance of daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal, and annual sales results and implement strategies to grow business and improve results; Plan and execute in-store and vendor-led events to drive traffic and engagement; Maintain brand standards through proper merchandising, hygiene, and stock replenishment; Responsible for acquiring new customers by opening credit accounts and sharing loyalty benefits; Collaborate with vendors, personal stylists, and store leadership to optimize outcomes; Resolve customer concerns in a professional and customer-first manner; Stay informed on new launches, best-sellers, and beauty trends to support team education; Manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment with strong attention to detail; Demonstrate flexibility, sound judgment, and a passion for the beauty industry.
Then "3–5 years of relevant retail, beauty, or leadership experience preferred; Flexible availability, including days, evenings, weekends and holidays with regular, dependable attendance and punctuality; Must be able to: Understand and communicate effectively with customers, co-workers, and supervisors; Read and understand employment policies and safety rules/procedures in English"
Then "Essential Physical Requirements You Will Perform This position requires talking, lifting, constant moving, standing, and reaching with arms and hands. Standing for at least two consecutive hours, lifting at least 25lbs., stooping, kneeling, crouching, and climbing ladders, reaching, including above eye level Requires close vision, color vision, depth perception, and focus adjustment Frequent use of computers and other technology, necessary to perform job functions, including handheld equipment, cash register and ability to process register transactions"
Then benefits: "Join a team where work is as rewarding as it is fun! We offer a dynamic, inclusive environment with competitive pay and benefits. Enjoy comprehensive health and wellness coverage and a 401(k) match to invest in your future. Prioritize your well-being with paid time off and eight paid holidays.

Some Additional Benefits We Offer Include Merchandise discounts Performance-based incentives Annual merit review Employee Assistance Program with mental health counseling and legal/financial advice Access the full menu of benefits offerings here."
Later: "Benefits include 401k, medical/vision/dental/life/disability insurance options, PTO accruals, Holidays, and more. Eligible for Sales Commission"
Also "This position may be eligible for performance-based incentives/bonuses."
We need to capture benefits specifics.
Now we need to decide sections:
- About the role (h3) containing the Job Overview paragraph.
- Responsibilities (h3) containing the daily activities and the "Who You Are And What You Will Do" list (maybe combine). Could also separate "Responsibilities" and "Qualifications". But we need to avoid thin sections. We could have Responsibilities include the daily activities and the duty list. Qualifications include experience, availability, ability to communicate, read policies. Skills could be the abilities like communication, flexibility, judgment, passion, attention to detail, etc. But we might combine.
Better: Sections:
- About the role (Job Overview)
- Responsibilities (daily activities + duty list)
- Qualifications (experience, availability, ability to communicate, read policies)
- Skills (maybe list of soft skills: communication, flexibility, judgment, passion, attention to detail, etc.) but we could also include physical requirements under a separate section? Not required heading. Could include under Qualifications or Responsibilities? Physical requirements are substantive; we could include a section "Physical Requirements" but not in the allowed headings list. The allowed headings are only those enumerated: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add Physical Requirements as a heading. We could fold physical requirements into Requirements or Qualifications. The heading "Requirements" is allowed. So we can put physical requirements under Requirements.
Thus:
- About the role (Job Overview)
- Responsibilities (daily activities + duty list)
- Requirements (physical requirements + maybe also "Must be able to: Understand and communicate..." and "Read and understand employment policies...") Actually those are abilities, could be under Requirements or Skills. We'll decide.
- Qualifications (experience preferred, flexible availability)
- Skills (maybe list of skills like communication, flexibility, judgment, passion, attention to detail, etc.) but we could also put those under Skills.
- Benefits (benefits list)
- Schedule (hours info)
We must not create Pay section.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat info unnecessarily but preserve all substantive info. We'll need to include all points.
Let's draft.
First, About the role: use
for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information, but we can condense into lists where appropriate.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove "About Us" maybe? That's not a required heading but could be considered part of About the role? The "About Us" section is generic story about Macy's; could be considered part of About the role? But we already have About the role (Job Overview). The "About Us" is more about company; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not required but maybe we can include as part of About the role? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The "About Us" is not exactly boilerplate but it's generic marketing; could be considered not substantive for the role. Might be safe to omit.

Now we need to ensure we don't repeat info unnecessarily but preserve all substantive info. We'll need to include all points.
Let's draft.
First, About the role: use About the role
then
with the overview paragraph. Second, Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then maybe a- with items covering daily activities and duty list. Could split into two
