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 if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse posting. Content: Intro paragraph: "Hungry for a career that’s as rewarding as it is delicious? At Aspire Bakeries, we don’t just bake breads, cookies, and cakes - we create foods that bring people together.

If you’re ready to grow with us, we’d love to hear from you" Then "Why You’ll Love Working At Aspire Bakeries" with bullet points: Culture, Health & Wellness, Work-Life Balance, Financial Security, Growth & Development, Flexibility & Support, Recognition & Rewards. This is benefits section. Then "About The Role": description. Then "Compensation Salary Range: $140K-$175K Travel: Required (50%-75%)" Then "Core Accountabilities (What You’ll Be Doing)" list. Then "Minimum Qualifications (What You Bring To The Table)" list. Then "Preferred Qualifications (Extra Ingredients For Success)" list. Then a paragraph about final determination of pay etc. That's more compensation details. Then EEO statement etc which we must remove (boilerplate). Also "We do not use artificial intelligence (AI) tools..." also boilerplate. We need to output sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". But we must only include sections that have real specific content. We have: - About the role: we have a paragraph describing role. So include

About the role

with

. - Responsibilities: we have "Core Accountabilities (What You’ll Be Doing)" list. That's responsibilities. So include

Responsibilities

with
  • items. - Requirements: we have Minimum Qualifications list. That's requirements. Could be

    Requirements

    with list. - Qualifications: we have Preferred Qualifications list. Could be

    Qualifications

    (or Preferred Qualifications). But spec says use headings like Qualifications. We'll include

    Qualifications

    for preferred qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicit separate list; but we could embed skills within qualifications. Probably not needed separate. - Benefits: we have "Why You’ll Love Working At Aspire Bakeries" bullet list. So include

    Benefits

    with list. - Pay: we have compensation salary range and travel. Also paragraph about final determination of pay. So include

    Pay

    with

    containing salary range and travel info, plus note about determination. - Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should NOT include Schedule section. We must not include empty sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We must not include metadata like Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, AI statement, etc. We must preserve all substantive info: ensure we keep all bullet points. Let's extract details. Intro paragraph: we may include as part of About the role? Actually the intro is general company overview; could be part of About the role? But spec says About the role section should contain role description. The intro is more about company; could be placed before sections as a

    maybe not under a heading. The instruction: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it." It doesn't forbid having a leading paragraph before any heading. So we can include the introductory paragraph as a

      before sections. Then "Why You’ll Love Working At Aspire Bakeries" heading is not in the list but we can treat as Benefits. So we will output

      Benefits

      then list. Now extract bullet points under Why You’ll Love Working At Aspire Bakeries: - Culture - Our culture thrives on collaboration, diversity, and a shared passion for excellence. We support team members, empower growth, and encourage everyone to bring their authentic selves to work. - Health & Wellness – Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus company-paid life insurance and additional voluntary options to fit your needs. - Work-Life Balance – Paid parental leave, generous paid time off, and holidays so you can recharge and spend time on what matters most. - Financial Security – A competitive 401(k) with immediate company match, plus short- and long-term disability coverage for peace of mind. - Growth & Development – Opportunities to build skills, grow your career, and develop expertise through Aspire Bakeries’ learning and development programs. - Flexibility & Support – HSA and FSA plans to help you manage everyday expenses. - Recognition & Rewards – Performance incentive plans that celebrate achievements across sales, bakery performance, and individual contributions. We'll put each as
    • . Now About the role paragraph: "We are seeking a Director of Customer Development to join our team in a Remote role. As the Director of Customer Development, you will be accountable for driving profitable sales growth, expanding distribution, strengthening strategic customer partnerships, and leading a high-performing team across national and regional grocery retail, wholesale, and broker channels. This role is critical to advancing Aspire Bakeries’ branded and in-store bakery business through customer development strategies, innovation commercialization, broker leadership, and execution excellence across key customer accounts." We'll put that as

      under

      About the role

      . Now Responsibilities: list from Core Accountabilities: - Lead strategic customer relationships across national and regional grocery retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and broker partners. - Develop and execute customer business plans that deliver sales growth, profitability, distribution gains, and market share expansion. - Drive brand growth through innovation selling, assortment optimization, category development, and new business acquisition. - Negotiate pricing, contracts, promotional programs, and joint business plans to maximize customer and company value. - Coach and develop a high-performing sales team through performance management, talent development, and succession planning. - Direct broker strategy and execution to achieve distribution, placement, promotional, and performance objectives. - Build wholesale and distributor growth strategies that improve market penetration and support profitable expansion. We'll put as
      • . Now Minimum Qualifications list: - Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Sales, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience. - 10+ years of progressive Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) sales and customer development experience. - 5+ years of experience leading, coaching, and developing sales teams. - Proven experience managing major grocery retail, wholesale, distributor, or regional retail customer accounts. - Demonstrated experience leading and managing broker organizations and performance. - Strong financial acumen, strategic business planning, analytical, and negotiation skills. - Experience utilizing customer, category, and syndicated data platforms (e.g., Circana, Nielsen) to drive business decisions.

Now Pay section: we have "Compensation Salary Range: $140K-$175K Travel: Required (50%-75%)" plus paragraph about final determination of pay etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we can combine into a

        maybe with two sentences. Paragraph: "The final determination of a successful candidate’s starting pay will vary based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to location, shift, education, skill, and experience within the job or the industry. The pay scale listed for this position is generally for candidates that meet the specified qualifications and requirements listed in this specific job description. Additional pay may be determined for those candidates that exceed these specified qualifications and requirements. We provide a competitive compensation package that recognizes your experience, credentials, and education alongside a robust benefits program to meet your needs. For union-represented postings, wage rates and ranges are governed by applicable collective bargaining agreements." We should include that as prose. Thus Pay section:

        Pay

        then

        containing salary range and travel info plus the paragraph. We must not include Schedule section. Now ensure we removed boilerplate: EEO statement, AI statement, also maybe "Aspire Bakeries LLC values the contribution each Team Member brings to our organization." That's actually substantive? It's a statement about valuing contributions; could be considered boilerplate but it's not EEO. It's a generic statement but maybe we keep? It's not specific to role; but it's not listed as boilerplate to remove. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The line "Aspire Bakeries LLC values the contribution each Team Member brings to our organization." is not EEO; it's a value statement. Might be considered generic but not explicitly listed to remove. However it's somewhat fluff. But we might keep it as part of intro? It appears after Preferred Qualifications and before EEO. Could be considered part of company overview; we could keep it as a

        maybe under Benefits? But it's not a benefit. Might be better to drop as it's not specific to role. However instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That line is substantive? It's a statement about valuing contributions; it's not specific to role but still info about company. Might be considered boilerplate but not in list. Safer to keep it maybe as a

        after Benefits? But we already have Benefits section; we could add a

        after Benefits before Pay? However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding a separate paragraph for that statement may be thin. Could incorporate into Benefits? Not really a benefit. Could incorporate into About the role? Not exactly. Given ambiguity, I'd keep it as a

        after Benefits but before Pay, maybe as part of Benefits? But it's not a benefit. Could be a separate

        About the company

        but not in allowed headings. So maybe we drop it as it's not required and could be considered fluff. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." This line is thin; maybe it's okay to drop as it's not essential to the role. However it's not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove. I'd lean to keep it as a

        after Benefits but before Pay, maybe as a general statement.
