We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions and accommodation stuff? The accommodation paragraph is about interview accommodations; might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but still maybe considered boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The accommodation paragraph is about interview accommodations; could be considered application instructions? Might be considered part of application process. Safer to remove it. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. We have: Intro paragraph: "Jordan Design is where creative possibility meets purpose..." etc. That's about the company and role overview. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the team". We'll put under

About the role

with paragraphs. Then "THE ROLE MANIFesto" section: a long paragraph describing role. Could be part of About the role or separate "Role Overview". We'll combine. Then "Who You’ll Work With": list of collaborators. Could be a subsection under About the role or separate "Collaboration". We'll maybe make a

Who You’ll Work With

with a
    . Then "Who We Are Looking For": bullet-like paragraphs describing qualifications. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll make

    Qualifications

    with
      items. Then "What You’ll Work On": responsibilities. We'll make

      Responsibilities

      with
        . Then "What You Bring": list of requirements/skills. Could be under Requirements or Skills. We'll make

        Requirements

        with
          items. Then "We offer a number of accommodations..." we decided to remove. We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All sections have content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We must not include Pay/Benefits/Schedule unless present. Not present. Thus output HTML with sections: About the role, Who You’ll Work With, Qualifications, Responsibilities, Requirements. We need to use

          for each section heading. Use

          for prose,

          • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details from each paragraph. Let's extract content. Intro paragraphs: "Jordan Design is where creative possibility meets purpose. It’s our place for builders, boundary-breakers, and vision-setters – people who move with conviction, think originally, and create work shaped by real experience and cultural depth. Our team thrives when imagination, discipline, and collaboration come together. We look for leaders who bring their full creative voice, who understand the communities that inspire us, and who are driven to shape the future for the next generation of Jordan athletes and fans. To excel in our Apparel Basketball Design Director role, you must live and breathe the game – not just how it’s played, but how it’s felt, expressed, and evolved. The best Jordan Basketball Designers not only push the boundaries of performance on the court but also carry a deep understanding of hoops culture: it’s rhythm, it’s language, it’s icons, it’s unsung heroes, and it’s global influence. They study movement, mindset, and style with equal intensity. They know how the court, the community, and the culture shape one another – and they translate that connection into designs that honor the past, present, and ignite the future of the game. Become a part of the Jordan Design Team." That's a block. Then "THE ROLE MANIFESTO" heading (but we shouldn't duplicate heading as it's not a standard heading; we can treat its content as part of About the role). The manifesto text: "This role is for a designer shaped by the game in all its forms—its roots, its rhythm, its attitude, its ecosystems. The Jordan Basketball Design Director brings an instinctive understanding of how performance, expression, craft, and culture collide on and off the court. You bring an edge that’s earned, not borrowed. You bring confidence grounded in discipline and repetition. You bring a point of view shaped by the places and people who made you. Your work has presence. It moves with purpose. It communicates before a word is spoken. You build product with the same energy great athletes play with—intentional, fearless, and unwilling to settle. You don’t chase what’s already happening. You ignite what’s coming next. You know how to read the subtle signals—how the court, the community, and the culture influence one another—and you translate that into design that feels authentic, modern, and ahead of its time. Your role is not to decorate. Your role is to set standards. Your role is to create moments and product that shift how people move, feel, and express themselves through the game. This is leadership rooted in vision, clarity, and craft. This is design shaped by experience, sharpened by curiosity, and elevated through collaboration. This is how the next era takes shape." We can combine with intro as About the role. Then "Who You’ll Work With" section: "As a Design Director of Apparel Product Design for Jordan Basketball, you’ll collaborate closely with the Sr. Creative Director, the Sr. Director of Visioneering, the Footwear Design Director, Color and Materials teams, Graphics Directors, and external partners to shape a cohesive vision for Basketball. Building strong partnerships across the design community and cross-functional teams will be essential to your success. You will foster a culture of collaboration—encouraging your team to explore new ideas, take calculated risks, and develop possibilities that have yet to be imagined." We'll make a
              with each item? Could be a paragraph then list of collaborators. Better to keep prose then list. We'll output:

              Who You’ll Work With

You will foster a culture of collaboration—encouraging your team to explore new ideas, take calculated risks, and develop possibilities that have yet to be imagined.

              Alternatively we could list collaborators in
                . But the instruction: Use
                • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of collaborators, could be considered a list. Might be better to put as
                    . However the sentence includes description. We could split: first sentence as

                    , then list of collaborators as

                      . Let's do that. So:

                      But we lost some detail: "to shape a cohesive vision for Basketball." Keep in p. Now "Who We Are Looking For" section: paragraphs describing qualifications. We'll turn into

                      Qualifications

                      with
                        items. Let's extract bullet-like sentences: "To excel in our Apparel Basketball Design Director role, you must live and breathe the game—not only how it’s played, but how it’s felt, expressed, and evolved. The strongest designers in Jordan Basketball understand the sport as a worldwide cultural force: its icons, its emerging voices, its unspoken codes, and its constant reinvention. They study movement, mindset, and style with equal intensity. They observe how athletes carry themselves, how communities influence performance, how the smallest details shape identity. They honor the game’s heritage while imagining its future. As our Design Director, Apparel Product Design in Jordan Basketball, you will create industry-leading, innovative designs—footwear understanding included, but not limited to—driving concepts from ideation through execution. You will sit at the forefront of defining what’s next for Jordan Basketball, connecting emerging innovation, athlete insights, cultural signals, product exploration, and brand vision into ideas that move the organization forward. We value strategic problem-solvers who deliver measurable performance benefits matched with iconic, emotionally resonant design. You are the leader who elevates every room. You push ideas to their full potential. You bring clarity to ambiguity. You navigate confidently across disciplines—trend discovery, sport science, line planning, storytelling, materials, color, graphics, and construction. You stay connected to the communities shaping the game’s next wave, and you translate that energy into design that is both culturally sharp and performance-driven. You thrive in pace. You listen deeply. You respond decisively. You step into gaps instinctively. You rally partners around a compelling vision with clarity and conviction." We can break into list items each representing a qualification. However many are sentences. We'll keep as
                          with each sentence as
                        • . Ensure we keep all details.
