We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID as heading. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Job title: Carbohydrate Solutions Accounting Manager – Decatur, IL Carbohydrate Solutions GBS RTR But we do not repeat title. We need sections: - About the role: description paragraph(s) summarizing role. The posting includes a description after "Description". We can put that in

About the role

with

containing the description text. - Responsibilities: list of duties. The posting includes many bullet-like sentences under "Core Focus Areas" and other sections. We can extract responsibilities: leading Wet Mill related activities, managing process, developing cross functional partnerships, delivering monthly/quarterly management reports, balance sheet reviews, P&L variance analysis, driving internal control environment, supporting strategic projects, etc. We'll create a

  • list. - Requirements: maybe qualifications? The posting has "Qualifications And Experience". That could go under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide where to put what. Likely Qualifications section for education, certifications, experience. Skills section for technical skills like HFM, Power BI, ERP, etc. Requirements could be overlapping but we can put experience requirements there. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: we have pay range: $92,800.00 - $170,400.00 Salaried Incentive Plan, annual bonus. So we can include Pay section with that info. Benefits: there is a Benefits And Perks section with details. So include Benefits. Schedule: posting says full-time, exempt level position. So schedule: full-time, exempt. We can include Schedule section. We must not include sections that are not specific: e.g., "About ADM" maybe not needed? It's about company, but could be considered About the role? Probably not needed; we can omit as it's boilerplate? It's substantive but maybe not required. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We can include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's many but okay if each has content. We must not include duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove the EEO paragraph at end, also "About ADM" maybe considered boilerplate? It's descriptive of company but could be considered not required. However it's substantive about the company; but we might keep it under About the role? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep company description? It's substantive about ADM. But the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine company info into About the role? Might be okay. But we need to decide: The posting includes a large "About ADM" paragraph at end. That's substantive about the company; we should preserve it. Could put under a section "About the Company" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could put company info under About the role as additional paragraph. We must not include the EEO/diversity paragraph? That's also substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about diversity, equity, inclusion. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the diversity/EEO paragraph. Also remove "Req/Job ID 113286BR". Also remove background check statement? That's maybe legal but could be considered substantive? It's about hiring process; maybe we can keep? It's not explicitly prohibited but it's about hiring process. Might be considered boilerplate? Safer to remove? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Background check is legal but not EEO. Might keep? However it's a standard statement; could be considered boilerplate. I'd remove it to be safe. Also remove "Excited about this role but don’t think you meet every requirement listed? We encourage you to apply anyway." That's application instruction, remove. Also remove "ADM requires the successful completion of a background check." Remove. Also remove "Base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors..." That's part of pay info but we need to keep pay range. The sentence about base pay may vary is part of pay details; we can keep it as part of Pay section. Also remove "If hired, employees will be in an “at-will position” and the Company reserves the right to modify base pay..." That's also legal; maybe remove? It's about compensation modification; could be considered legal boilerplate. Might remove. We need to preserve all substantive information; but the instruction says remove legal boilerplate. So we can remove at-will statement. Now compile. Let's extract About the role description: The paragraph after "Description": "We require a resilient and dynamic Accounting Manager to manage the Wet Mill related activities as well as other key strategic projects for the Carbohydrate Solutions segment. You will be accountable for leading the associated process. You will develop cross functional and business partnerships with key stakeholders to solve problems and achieve positive business outcomes, driving a culture of accuracy and integrity of financial data and reporting.
