2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions

Let me analyze the job posting:
The posting has:
- "About the Role" section with prose
- "A Day in the Life" with responsibilities grouped under subheadings: Customer Sales & Profit, Fashion & Trend Awareness, Team & Development, Retail Operations/ Visual & Commercial Execution
- "Qualifications" section with "Who You Are" prose
- "Why You'll Love Working at H&M" with benefits/prose
- "Additional Information" with Compensation (pay range), EEOC Code, Pay Status, and notes
- "Benefits" section with detailed benefits list
- "Inclusion & Diversity" section
- "Company Description" section
- "Maki Assessment Tool" section (application process info - should be removed as application instructions)
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. The main sections should be:
- About the Role (prose)
- Responsibilities (with sub-sections as lists)
- Qualifications (prose)
- Benefits (list)
- Pay (since there's a specific pay range)
- Maybe Company Description (prose)
I should not include: EEOC Code, Pay Status (Non-Exempt, Hourly) as separate headings - can fold into Pay section or a short p. The Maki Assessment Tool is application instructions - remove. Inclusion & Diversity is boilerplate EEO - remove. The "Additional Information" notes about job posting not all-inclusive, good faith assessment, accommodations - remove as boilerplate.
