Billboard: Staff Writer, Latin/Pop

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About the role (first paragraph describing role). Responsibilities (explicit heading). Requirements (explicit heading). Qualifications? Not separate; maybe "Qualifications" could be covered by Requirements? The posting includes "Requirements" and also "A degree in journalism or communications is preferred." That's qualification. Could combine under Requirements. But we need to follow rule: include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits (the benefits paragraph), Pay (salary estimate), Schedule (work schedule: onsite 4 days, 1 remote, west coast hours, after-hours/weekend expected). Also maybe Skills? Not explicit separate; but we could treat some as Skills but better not to create thin sections. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate like "It’s All About You… PMC's comprehensive benefits package..." That's benefits. Also includes "As Billboard values in-person collaboration..." that's schedule/remote. Also includes "About Billboard" and "About Penske Media Corporation" which is company description; maybe we could include as "About the company" but not required heading list. The instruction only lists specific headings; we could add "About the company" but not in list; better to omit or incorporate into About the role? Probably we should omit company description as not requested heading. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; but we can embed that info in a paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate section not in list? The instruction says use headings only for those sections; we could still include other info as paragraphs without heading. So we can include a paragraph about Billboard and PMC after About the role. We must not include duplicated lines. Need to extract responsibilities list: daily coverage of all aspects and genres of Latin music as well as pop or pop culture stories. Coverage includes Latin and mainstream music news, including interviews and industry stories, for Billboard.com and Billboardespanol.com. Productivity averages between 3-5 stories per day at a minimum, plus translating stories from English to Spanish. Will be able to translate copy primarily from English to Spanish but also Spanish to English.

Will work closely with Billboard’s video production and social media teams to cross-pollinate content and create original content as needed. Video experience is a plus. We need to put these as
