Chief Operating Officer
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to include About the role (the description after "About the Role").
We need to include Responsibilities: The "What You'll Be Doing (Core Responsibilities)" section includes many bullet-like paragraphs. We should convert each bullet point (starting with Operational Leadership, Closing Operations Oversight, etc.) into list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to treat each duty as list item. The responsibilities are many paragraphs each starting with a bold heading (like Operational Leadership). We could treat each as list item with maybe internal for the heading? But we just need to output
- containing the text. Could keep the heading inside
- as plain text.
Similarly Requirements: list of bullet points after "Requirements". We'll convert each line after "Required Experience:" etc into list items.
Benefits: bullet list after Benefits heading.
Pay: maybe just a paragraph with compensation details.
Schedule: paragraph.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure we have real content.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
