Digital Commerce Strategic Planning & Analysis Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "About Us" and "Summary". We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: About Us (company description) maybe map to "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is company description; 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). So we should create headings matching those labels if content exists. We have: - About the role: could be the Summary paragraph describing role. We'll put that. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Essential Duties & Responsibilities). We'll output

• each duty. - Requirements: maybe Education & Experience section. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can combine? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have Requirements covering education/experience and qualifications. But we also have Skills: maybe list of skills like experience with Snowflake, AI tools, etc. Could be separate. - Benefits: The "What We Offer" section lists benefits. - Pay: Salary range and bonus. - Schedule: hybrid schedule info. We must not include boilerplate like Diversity Commitment, EEO, etc. Also remove Travel Requirements? Travel up to 25% is maybe not a standard heading; could be included under Responsibilities or maybe as a note but not a heading. We could include it under Responsibilities as a bullet? Probably better to include as a bullet under Responsibilities (Travel up to 25%). However the instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Travel Requirements is not boilerplate; it's substantive. We could include it under Responsibilities or maybe under a separate section? There's no heading for Travel. Could add as a bullet under Responsibilities. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Preserve all substantive information. We need to ensure we don't include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. About Us paragraph: "The Freeman Company is a global leader in events, on a mission to redefine live for a new era. With a data-driven approach and the industry’s largest network of experts, The Freeman Company’s insights shape exhibitions, exhibits, and events that drive audiences to action.

  ... etc. But we need to decide structure: Could just list each duty as a top-level li, with sub-bullets if needed. That's fine. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must not include boilerplate like Diversity Commitment. Now produce HTML.
