Corporate Controlling Manager - Consolidated Planning & Risk

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. The posting includes: description (role overview) maybe "About the role". Responsibilities list (Role Responsibilities). Requirements (Job Requirements and Experience). Qualifications maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can treat "Job Requirements and Experience" as Requirements. Qualifications maybe not separate; but we can include Qualifications if there is content like degree required etc. However we must not repeat headings with filler. We have Pay range given. Benefits offered listed. Schedule: "To start as soon as possible, full time, permanent". That's schedule info: full-time, permanent. So we can include Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, contact HR, social media, etc. We must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include the role overview paragraph(s) under About the role. Then Responsibilities as ul li list. Then Requirements as ul li list (maybe combine experience, education, etc). Qualifications maybe we can include degree etc but we already have that in Requirements; but we could separate: Qualifications: BA/BS required, advanced degree plus, etc. However to avoid duplication, we could put education under Qualifications and experience under Requirements. But instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine into Requirements and Qualifications as one? But they ask to use headings for those categories if content exists. We have content for both: education/degree (qualifications) and experience (requirements). Could split.

Please note that the salary information is a general guideline only.

We must not include boilerplate like "Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States. RWE Americas is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas at this time." That's substantive? It's about work authorization; maybe we should keep? It's not a heading but could be part of Requirements? It's a requirement: must be legally authorized to work in US, no sponsorship. That's substantive. Should we include? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that somewhere, maybe under Requirements as a bullet. However it's not a heading; we can add a bullet under Requirements: "Must be legally authorized to work in the United States; sponsorship not available." Similarly, "Apply with just a few clicks: ad code 93579 Any questions? Contact HR: rwe_americas_recruiting@rwe.com We look forward to meeting you. Of course, you can find us on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Xing, too." That's application instructions and contact info, which we must remove per instructions: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So drop that. EEO statement: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other legally protected status." That's EEO boilerplate, remove. Company description paragraphs about RWE Americas: that's substantive? It's about company background; maybe we could keep under About the role? But it's not directly about the role; it's company overview. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; but we might consider that as company description, not required for role. However it's substantive info about employer. Could be included maybe under a section like "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we might omit it to avoid extra sections not requested. But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It doesn't say we must include company description; but if we omit, we lose info. However the allowed headings don't include "About the company". Could we fold it into About the role? Possibly as a brief note. But the role description already includes responsibilities; adding company overview may be okay as part of About the role. However the instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have About the role heading and include both role overview and company info under that heading. That seems acceptable. Thus About the role will contain the role overview paragraph plus the company description paragraphs (the paragraphs about RWE Americas). We'll keep them as prose (

). Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

for each section heading, then content: either

for prose,

• for lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. Let's craft. Sections:
