We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only if content exists. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: "This position is listed on behalf of a partner company..." etc. Also remove "How Jobgether Works", "Why Apply Through Jobgether?" etc. Also remove EEO etc. Keep substantive info. We need to parse content: The posting includes description: "Our partner is looking for a Broadcast Operations Management Lead, Local Media based in the United States. This leadership role oversees the day-to-day operational execution of live and time-shifted sports broadcasts across multiple markets. You will lead a team of full-time and supplemental Operations Managers while establishing consistent standards for production readiness, logistics, quality, and accountability. The role sits at the intersection of broadcast operations, production technology, engineering, distribution, teams, and external vendors. You will help scale production models, improve workflows, anticipate operational risks, and strengthen reliability across a growing media environment. The position combines people leadership, vendor management, technical coordination, and strategic operational planning. It is ideal for an experienced broadcast professional who can balance high-pressure live production requirements with longer-term process and program improvements." That's about the role. Then "Accountabilities" list many bullet-like sentences. Those are responsibilities. Then "Requirements" list bullet-like sentences. Then "Benefits" list bullet-like sentences. Also "How Jobgether Works" etc to remove. Pay: The benefits include "Annual salary range of $140,000–$180,000." That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit Schedule. We need sections: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Benefits (list), Pay (maybe just the salary line). Also maybe Qualifications? The Requirements already cover qualifications. Could combine but we need separate headings only if content. We could put Requirements as qualifications. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings; we could put qualifications under Requirements and skip Qualifications if no distinct content. However the instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include those that have content. We have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. No Skills distinct; maybe we can embed skills in Requirements. No Qualifications separate. We'll omit Qualifications and Skills if no specific content. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points from Accountabilities, Requirements, Benefits. Ensure we don't lose any. Let's extract Accountabilities bullet points (they are sentences separated by periods but we can treat each as list item). We'll need to split into
  • items. Accountabilities list: - Lead and develop the Broadcast Operations Management team, including full-time employees and supplemental Operations Managers supporting live and time-shifted productions across multiple markets. - Establish team priorities, operating standards, workflows, responsibilities, and performance expectations to drive consistent execution and accountability. - Oversee production operations, including technical coordination, crew planning, vendor readiness, schedules, venue requirements, and other operational dependencies. - Ensure Operations Managers have the information, tools, resources, and cross-functional alignment needed to effectively support assigned productions and teams. - Establish production readiness, communication, escalation, and quality-control processes while serving as a key escalation point for complex or time-sensitive operational issues. - Build strong relationships with sports teams and local media stakeholders to understand market-specific requirements and provide effective operational support. - Manage relationships with production, mobile unit, crewing, master control, and other broadcast service vendors, establishing expectations, service levels, procedures, and escalation paths. - Support vendor planning, evaluation, and commercial discussions by providing operational requirements, performance insights, resource needs, and recommendations. - Partner with vendors and internal teams to anticipate staffing, equipment, facility, scheduling, and logistical requirements throughout the production calendar. - Collaborate closely with Technical Managers, Broadcast Engineering, and Production Technology to integrate technical systems, workflows, and standards into daily broadcast operations. - Coordinate the transition of new systems and production capabilities into operational use through documentation, testing, training, rehearsals, and readiness planning. - Provide structured feedback to technology and engineering teams regarding recurring issues, technical dependencies, workflow improvements, reliability, and usability. - Establish contingency plans, escalation procedures, and operational safeguards that support resilient live and time-shifted production. - Develop standardized operating procedures, production playbooks, planning tools, and performance measures that enable consistent execution across markets. - Lead projects supporting production program growth, including new markets, increased production volume, evolving production models, resource planning, and expanded capabilities. - Analyze operational performance, production incidents, vendor trends, and resource utilization to identify risks and opportunities for greater efficiency, quality, and scalability. - Provide operational recommendations for resource and capacity planning, operating-model development, and future-state production strategies. - Foster a collaborative and accountable culture across employees, supplemental resources, technical partners, and vendors, with a strong focus on reliability and continuous improvement. Now Requirements list: - Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Production, Media, Communications, Technology, or a related field preferred. - 7+ years of progressive experience in broadcast operations, live production, technical production management, media operations, or a related field, preferably in live sports. - Demonstrated experience managing teams and supplemental resources within complex, high-volume live production environments. - Strong experience managing production vendors, mobile units, crewing partners, and other third-party broadcast service providers. - Experience overseeing game-day production logistics, technical coordination, operational readiness, and issue resolution across multiple productions or markets. - Experience collaborating with Broadcast Engineering, Production Technology, Technical Management, Distribution, and production teams. - Proven ability to implement and improve scalable workflows, operating procedures, readiness processes, and production operating models. - Experience with centralized, remote/REMI, cloud-enabled, or other modern production models is preferred. - Professional or collegiate live sports production experience is strongly preferred. - Strong understanding of live sports broadcast operations, technical production workflows, game-day logistics, and end-to-end production execution. - Strong people-management, coaching, and team-development skills, with the ability to establish accountability across full-time and supplemental resources. - Strong vendor-management and relationship-building capabilities, combined with the ability to drive service quality and operational improvements. - Ability to understand the relationship between broadcast operations, production technology, engineering, and distribution. - Strong judgment and problem-solving skills, with the ability to anticipate risks, manage escalations, and make sound decisions under live-production pressure. - Strong project-management and resource-planning capabilities, balancing immediate production requirements with longer-term initiatives. - Process-oriented approach with the ability to create standardized workflows while accounting for market-specific needs. - Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills across technical, production, vendor, team, and leadership audiences. - Strong analytical and operational judgment, including the ability to use production data, incident trends, and performance insights to improve execution. - Collaborative leadership style focused on development, accountability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement. Benefits list: - Annual salary range of $140,000–$180,000. - Eligibility for an annual discretionary performance bonus. - Medical, dental, and vision insurance. - Life and AD&D insurance. - Short- and long-term disability coverage. - Fertility and family-forming assistance. - Wellbeing allowance. - Educational assistance. - Mental health coaching and therapy support. - Health Savings Account and healthcare/dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts. - 401(k) retirement plan. - Vacation, sick time, and personal days. - Eligible employees may have the option to work remotely one day per week. - Opportunity to lead large-scale broadcast operations, develop teams, manage strategic vendors, and contribute to the scaling of modern live and time-shifted production models. Note: The last bullet about opportunity is more like a benefit but could be considered part of role. We'll keep it. Pay: We could separate salary range as Pay section. But we already have salary in Benefits list. The instruction: create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does state salary range. So we could have Pay section with that line, and Benefits section with other benefits (excluding salary). However the Benefits list includes salary as first item. To avoid duplication, we could put salary in Pay and keep other benefits in Benefits. Let's do that. Thus: Pay: Annual salary range of $140,000–$180,000. Benefits: list of other items (excluding salary). Also maybe include "Eligibility for an annual discretionary performance bonus." etc. Now About the role: we need prose summarizing the description. Should we keep all sentences? We'll keep the paragraph(s) as is. We must not repeat job title. Already not. Now produce HTML:
