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. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About Cognizant Consulting (intro) maybe part of About the role? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with content. We have content: About the role: The paragraph after "About The Role" includes description: "As a Consulting Manager - Senior Business Analyst, Energy & Utilities, you will make an impact by leading business analysis and transformation workstreams that improve utility operations, decision-making, and technology delivery. You will be a valued member of Cognizant Consulting's Energy & Utilities team and work collaboratively with utility business leaders, product owners, field operations, data and technology teams, vendors, delivery partners, and clients. The core requirements are strong business analysis capability and Energy & Utilities industry experience. Experience with Palantir Foundry and AIP or utility vegetation management will help you stand out. Candidates may bring strength in either specialized area and are not required to have both." Also "In This Role, You Will" bullet list. We can treat that as Responsibilities? Actually "In This Role, You Will" enumerates duties. So we can put that under Responsibilities. Requirements: "What you must have to be considered" list: 8-15 years experience, strong Energy & Utilities experience, proven experience leading end-to-end business analysis, experience leading client-facing workstreams and supporting Agile/Waterfall/hybrid delivery, strong analytical etc, bachelor's degree, ability to work onsite in Houston 3-4 days per week. Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements? The instruction distinguishes Requirements and Qualifications. Usually Requirements are mandatory, Qualifications are preferred. Here "These will help you succeed" list is qualifications/preferred: Palantir Foundry and AIP experience, utility vegetation management experience, familiarity with various systems, experience connecting vegetation management data to outage prevention, experience delivering complex utility transformation programs, mentoring consultants, or holding relevant certifications. Skills: maybe we can extract skills like analytical, problem-solving, communication, facilitation, presentation, team leadership. Benefits: listed under "Compensation" then "Benefits" bullet list. Pay: The posting mentions "Compensation This position is eligible for Cognizant's discretionary annual incentive program, based on performance and subject to the terms of Cognizant's applicable plans." That's about pay/incentive. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: "Work model ... hybrid position requiring 3-4 days a week in a client or Cognizant office in Houston, Texas." Also ability to work onsite in Houston 3-4 days per week. So schedule section. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions, closing date, etc. The posting includes "Post closing date Applications will be accepted until 28th Oct, 2026". That's application instruction/boilerplate; we should drop it. Also "We're excited to meet people..." etc is fluff but maybe we keep as part of About the role? It's not boilerplate; it's encouraging to apply. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. It's okay to keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That paragraph is not exactly those; it's motivational. Could keep but maybe it's fluff. Safer to keep as part of About the role? It doesn't add substantive info about role. Might be considered filler. I'd drop it. Also "About Cognizant Consulting" paragraph is introductory about company; could be part of About the role? Might be considered company overview; we could include under About the role or maybe not needed. The instruction: About the role heading; we can include description of role and maybe company overview. It's substantive? It's about Cognizant Consulting; not directly role but could be considered context. Might keep. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting that are not boilerplate. Thus we need to include: - About Cognizant Consulting paragraph (global community 5,000+ experts, etc). That's substantive about company. - About The Role paragraph (first paragraph after About The Role) describing impact. - In This Role, You Will bullet list (duties). - Work model paragraph (hybrid, 3-4 days a week, wellbeing programs). This could go under Schedule. - What you must have to be considered (requirements) list. - These will help you succeed (preferred qualifications) list. - Benefits list. - Compensation paragraph about discretionary annual incentive. We need to map to headings. Let's decide:

About the role

: include About Cognizant Consulting paragraph + About The Role paragraph (first paragraph). Possibly also the "In This Role, You Will" could be under Responsibilities.

Responsibilities

: list of duties from "In This Role, You Will". Use
  • .

    Requirements

    : mandatory requirements list from "What you must have to be considered". Use
    • .

      Qualifications

      : preferred qualifications list from "These will help you succeed". Use
      • .

        Skills

        : maybe we can extract skills from requirements: Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, facilitation, presentation, and team leadership skills. Also maybe "strong business analysis capability". Could list them. But we already have them in Requirements; but we could still create Skills section if we want. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might combine skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have separate headings allowed; we could include Skills if we have content. The skills are already mentioned in Requirements; we could still create a Skills section but that would duplicate content. Better to not duplicate; we can omit Skills section if we think it's thin. However we need to include all substantive info; if we omit Skills heading, we still have the skills mentioned in Requirements (they are there). That's fine.

        Benefits

        : list of benefits.

        Pay

        : paragraph about discretionary annual incentive.

        Schedule

        : work model hybrid 3-4 days a week, wellbeing programs, ability to work onsite. We must not include heading with empty content. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Post closing date". Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract exact text.
