We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. Let's parse the posting: - Intro paragraph: "For A Better You At iHerb, we believe ..." This is about the company, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes job summary. The posting includes "Job Summary" paragraph. So we can put that under "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Job Summary: description of role responsibilities. Could go under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Since we have a separate "Job Expectations" list of duties. So we could put the Job Summary under "About the role" (a brief overview). Then "Responsibilities" for the list of duties (Job Expectations bullet list). Then "Requirements" maybe for Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities? Actually they have "Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:" then list. Also "Experience Requirements" and "Education Requirements". Could combine into "Requirements" or separate "Qualifications". The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide. We have content for: - About the role: Job Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: Job Expectations list (multiple bullet points). Also maybe the line "The duties and responsibilities described above may provide only a partial description..." but that's boilerplate; we should remove duplicated lines and boilerplate. So we keep the list. - Requirements: Could include Experience Requirements and Education Requirements. Also maybe "Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:" is more like Skills/Qualifications. But we have separate headings for Skills and Qualifications. Let's map: - Skills: maybe the list under "Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:" includes skills like experience, analytical ability, project management, communication, interest in industry, attention to detail, etc. Also equipment knowledge (Microsoft Office, Google Suite). So we can put those under Skills. - Qualifications: maybe Education Requirements and Experience Requirements? Or we could put Experience Requirements under Qualifications. The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications; we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can use "Requirements" for experience and education, and "Qualifications" for skills? But they also have Skills heading. Let's think: typical job posting sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (experience/education), Qualifications (maybe preferred), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Since we have both experience and education, we could put them under Requirements. Then we could put "Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities" under Skills. Then we could have Qualifications maybe for any preferred qualifications (like experience with contract manufacturers a plus, familiarity with e-commerce analytics a plus). Those are in Experience Requirements: "Experience working with contract manufacturers or in a private label environment a plus." Also under Equipment Knowledge: "Experience with Google Business Suite ... preferred." Also "Familiarity with e-commerce analytics or category management tools a plus." Those could go under Qualifications (preferred). But we could also just include them under Skills as they are skills. However we have separate Skills heading; we could put all skill-related items there, including preferred ones. Then Qualifications could be left empty? But we must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should only include Qualifications if there is real specific content. We have some preferred qualifications: experience with contract manufacturers a plus, familiarity with e-commerce analytics a plus, Google Business Suite preferred. Those are specific. So we can put those under Qualifications. Thus: - About the role: Job Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties from Job Expectations. - Requirements: Experience Requirements (minimum 7 years experience) and Education Requirements (Bachelor's degree). Also maybe "Experience working with contract manufacturers or in a private label environment a plus" is more preferred, but we could keep it in Requirements? Might be better to put in Qualifications. We'll keep Requirements as the hard requirements: experience 7 years, bachelor's degree. - Qualifications: Preferred qualifications: experience with contract manufacturers/private label a plus, familiarity with e-commerce analytics or category management tools a plus, experience with Google Business Suite preferred. - Skills: Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities list: experience in category management, brand management, product management within consumer goods or e-commerce; strong understanding of product development processes and cross-functional NPI coordination; analytical ability to evaluate category performance data and translate findings into strategic action; excellent project management and organizational skills with experience managing multiple priorities; clear and persuasive communication skills, including ability to build compelling business cases; interest in or knowledge of health and wellness, dietary supplement, or beauty industry; high attention to detail and a collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset; high degree of accuracy and attention to detail (duplicate? we can combine); excellent organization skills and ability to multi-task; equipment knowledge: experience with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) — intermediate to advanced Excel required. We should avoid duplicate lines: "High attention to detail and a collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset." and "High degree of accuracy and attention to detail" are similar; we can combine into one bullet maybe but we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep both but they are similar; but we can keep both as separate bullets? Might be considered duplication but it's in the posting. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate. We'll combine into one bullet: "High attention to detail, accuracy, and a collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset." Also "Excellent organization skills and ability to multi-task" similar to "excellent project management and organizational skills with experience managing multiple priorities". Might be overlapping but we can keep both as they are slightly different. We'll keep. Now Benefits, Pay, Schedule: The posting includes Compensation section: salary range $77,234 - $112,000 USD. That's Pay. So we include Pay section with that info. Benefits: not mentioned besides maybe "If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!" That's not a benefit. No explicit benefits like health insurance, etc. So we should not create Benefits section because no real specific content. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

About the role

Job Summary paragraph.

Pay

The expected salary range for this role is $77,234 - $112,000 USD. The actual base pay offered will be determined by factors such as the candidate's relevant experience, education, geographic location, and internal equity.

We should also include maybe a short paragraph about the company intro? The "For A Better You At iHerb..." could be considered "About the role" but we already used Job Summary there. Could we add that as part of About the role? The instructions: do not repeat job title as heading. The intro is about company culture; could be considered "About the role" as well. But we already have Job Summary; we could combine both into one paragraph. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit the intro paragraph. So we need to include it somewhere. The "About the role" section could contain both the intro and the Job Summary. Let's do that:

Intro paragraph + Job Summary paragraph.

Combine them into one

maybe two sentences. Better to keep as one

with both paragraphs separated by a space. We'll just concatenate. Thus About the role content: "For A Better You At iHerb, we believe that living a healthy and balanced life should be easy and accessible to everyone. As a team member, we’ll empower you to live this promise each day as you make a truly global impact in your career. We constantly strive for innovation, while transforming and improving the online shopping experience for our customers. We believe that individually we are incredible, but when we come together, our growth is infinite. In an industry that is constantly evolving, we are on a mission to make an impact on the global market, and the individual and collaborative efforts of our people are paramount to helping us succeed. Whether you work in one of our logistics centers, technology hubs, corporate offices or even from home, your role at iHerb will take you beyond what’s expected, turning challenge into change. If you're ready for it, we want you to join our team. Get started now. Job Summary The Category Manager, Owned Brands is responsible for leading strategy, item development, and performance management for an assigned category within iHerb’s Owned Brands portfolio — which may include Dietary Supplements (DS), Beauty, Bath & Personal Care (BBPC), Food & Fitness (FF), or OTC. This role drives the category’s innovation pipeline, manages the existing item portfolio, and partners cross-functionally to bring new products to market and optimize existing lines." We need to ensure we don't repeat the job title as heading; we are not. Now we need to remove boilerplate lines: "The duties and responsibilities described above may provide only a partial description of this position. This is not an exhaustive list of all aspects of the job. Other duties and responsibilities not outlined in this document may be added as necessary or desirable, with or without notice." That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove "Staffing Agency Submission Notice", "EEO", etc. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive content: The "If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!" is a motivational line but not a benefit; we could drop as it's not a specific benefit; it's more fluff. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered fluff; but it's substantive? It's more like a selling point. Might be okay to keep but not under any heading. Since we have no Benefits section, we could put it under About the role as well?
