We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info; remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - About the role: description of role, what they seek, responsibilities overview. Could be "About the role" heading. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Active Prospecting & Business Origination, Commercial Growth Leadership & Account Strategy, Pursuit Leadership & Win Strategy, Market Presence & Executive Connectivity). Could be bullet list. - Requirements / Qualifications: technical skills and qualifications list (10+ years experience, etc). Could be "Qualifications" heading. - Skills: maybe part of qualifications; but we can combine. - Benefits: there is a Benefits section describing benefits, but it's generic and includes link. The posting includes "Benefits" heading with description: "We understand that your needs... For an overview of our benefit offerings, please visit: https://www.grantthornton.com/careers/rewards-and-benefits". Also includes details for interns/seasonal employees, but those are not relevant to this role? It mentions benefits for interns and seasonal employees; but we should preserve substantive info. The posting includes a Benefits section with some text. It's not placeholder; it's actual content. So we should include Benefits section. - Pay: The posting includes "The total compensation package for this role includes base salary and bonus. The base salary range for this position is between $172,000 and $258,000." That's specific pay info. So we should include Pay section. - Schedule: The posting includes "Travel up to ~10%, variable by portfolio" and also "Consistent with the firm's hybrid work model, this position will require in-person attendance at least three days per week, either at a GT office or client site." That's schedule info (hybrid, in-person 3 days/week). So we can include Schedule section. - About Us: Could be "About the company" but not required headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's no heading for About Us, but we could put under About the role? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can also include other headings if needed? It says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect we use those headings when appropriate. We can also include "About the company" but not in list; maybe better to stick to those. The "About Us" could be considered part of "About the role"? But it's more about company. However we could include a section "About the company" but not in the list; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to include only those headings that have substantive content. We have content for: - About the role: we have introductory paragraph describing role: "Grant Thornton is seeking a Commercial Client Relationship Executive (Director) to join the team in New York, NY. Grant Thornton is seeking a Commercial Director Client Relationship Executive (CRE) to drive focused growth within Audit and Tax through relationship management, active prospecting, disciplined pipeline development, and strong collaboration across pursuit teams. This leader serves as a client growth strategist and commercial seller, opening new doors for the firm, translating client needs into actionable Audit and Tax pursuits, and identifying Advisory cross-sell opportunities where relevant. identify client needs, create new access to buyers, and advance well-qualified opportunities by aligning client priorities to relevant Audit, Tax, and Advisory capabilities. The Commercial CRE operates at the intersection solution strategy, pursuit leadership, executive relationship management, and cross-service line growth — shaping how capabilities are packaged, positioned, and activated in the market." We can condense but must preserve all substantive info; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. However we can rephrase but must keep all info. That's tricky: we need to preserve all substantive information, not summarize away detail. Means we should not omit details; we can rephrase but must keep all points. Probably okay to keep sentences as is. - Responsibilities: we have bullet-like sections: Active Prospecting & Business Origination (Primary) with subpoints; Commercial Growth Leadership & Account Strategy; Pursuit Leadership & Win Strategy; Market Presence & Executive Connectivity. We'll turn each into
    • items, possibly with sub-bullets? The instruction: use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have top-level list for responsibilities, each item can contain multiple sentences. - Requirements / Qualifications: The "You Have The Following Technical Skills And Qualifications" list enumerated 1-... We'll put under Qualifications heading (or Requirements). Use
        • . - Skills: Could be separate but we already have skills within qualifications; maybe we can have Skills heading with same list? But that would duplicate. Better to have Qualifications heading covering technical skills and qualifications. The instruction says we can have Skills heading; but we should avoid thin sections. So we can combine. - Benefits: we have Benefits section with description and link. We'll include. - Pay: we have base salary range. - Schedule: we have travel up to ~10%, variable by portfolio; and hybrid work model requiring in-person attendance at least three days per week. We also have "About Us" and "About The Team" etc. Those could be considered boilerplate? They are not exactly boilerplate but they are descriptive of company culture. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" and "About The Team" are not those; they are substantive about company. Should we include them? The allowed headings list does not include About Us, but we could incorporate into About the role? Might be okay to add a section "About the company" but not in list; risk. However we could treat "About Us" as part of "About the role"? Not really. The instruction says "use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings (e.g.,). It might be okay to include other headings if needed, but they gave examples. Safer to stick to those headings and incorporate other info into appropriate sections. For "About Us" and "About The Team", we could put under "About the role" as additional context about the firm. Or we could create a section "About the company" but that might be considered not following instruction. I'll incorporate into "About the role" paragraph. Also "About The Team" includes hybrid work model details (which we already captured in Schedule). Also includes benefits description (we have Benefits). Also includes inclusion statement (EEO) which we should remove as boilerplate. So we need to remove EEO/inclusion statements. Also "Additional Details" includes EEO policy, accommodation request, etc. Those are boilerplate; remove. Also "When it comes to inclusion, we are committed to doing more than checking boxes." That's EEO; remove. Also "Here’s What You Can Expect Next" is application instructions; remove. Also "Benefits for internship positions:" etc. That's not relevant to this role; but it's still benefits info. However it's generic and maybe considered boilerplate? It's still benefits but specific to interns/seasonal. Might be considered not relevant to this role; but we could keep as part of Benefits? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info if it's in the posting. However it's under Benefits heading; it's still part of the posting. So we should include it. But we must ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO. The intern benefits are not boilerplate; they are specific. So we keep. Thus Benefits section will include: - Paragraph: "We understand that your needs, responsibilities and experiences are different, and we think that’s a good thing. That’s why we support you with personalized and comprehensive benefits that recognize and empower all the identities, roles and aspirations that make you, well, you. For an overview of our benefit offerings, please visit: https://www.grantthornton.com/careers/rewards-and-benefits" - Then "Benefits for internship positions: ..." (list) - Then "Benefits for seasonal employee positions: ..." (list) - Then "Grant Thornton employees may be eligible for a discretionary, annual bonus based on individual and firm performance, subject to the terms, conditions and eligibility criteria of the applicable bonus plan or program. Interns and seasonal employees are not eligible for bonus compensation." We should format as
          • for each bullet? The intern benefits are sentences; we could keep as

            or break into list. The instruction: use

            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert those benefit details into list items. Thus Benefits section:

              Benefits

              then
              • ... etc. Similarly, Pay section:

                Pay

                then

                The total compensation package for this role includes base salary and bonus. The base salary range for this position is between $172,000 and $258,000. Placement within the pay range is at Grant Thornton’s discretion, and it is based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, job-related knowledge/skills, experience, business needs, progression within the role, geographic location, and internal equity. At Grant Thornton, compensation decisions are dependent upon the facts and circumstances of each position and candidate.

                Schedule section:

                Schedule

                then

                Travel up to ~10%, variable by portfolio. Consistent with the firm's hybrid work model, this position will require in-person attendance at least three days per week, either at a GT office or client site.

                Now Responsibilities: we need to capture all duties. Let's extract responsibilities sections: 1. Active Prospecting & Business Origination (Primary) - Conduct active, rigorous daily prospecting across assigned accounts, targets, and markets — originating new business through outbound calls, executive meetings, and relationship development - Meet sales production targets and goals with discipline and minimal oversight - Originate new sales opportunities by consistently and systematically initiating contacts; pursue prospects to secure meetings and win referrals 2.
