We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay detail is given: $200,000 - $225,000 USD. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: Hours 40 (presumably 40 hours per week). So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: There's a section "Our Total Rewards Package" describing benefits. So we can include Benefits. About the role: maybe from Job Description? Could have "About the role" summarizing role. Responsibilities: from Depth & Scope bullet list. Requirements: Education & Experience bullet list. Qualifications: maybe also from Education & Experience? Could combine. Skills: maybe from bullet list like editing, proofreading, organized, communication, knowledge of software, etc. We need to avoid duplication. Let's parse content. Job Description paragraph: "The Supervisory Analyst – Research provides a high-quality and timely review of all Equity Research products across the global research platform, ensuring that all research is compliant with FINRA, CIRO, and jurisdictional rules and regulations and company policies and procedures." Then Depth & Scope bullet list (actually sentences separated by line breaks). Let's extract responsibilities: - Reviews all research intended for the public, including but not limited to notes, reports, marketing presentations, invitations, videos, and podcasts - Includes editing and compliance oversight of research to adhere to FINRA, CIRO, and jurisdictional rules and regulations, as well as company policies, before approval and release to the public - Ensures timely release of all research - Ensures content of research reports is clear, fair, and not misleading - Confirms the investment thesis and valuation of an equity security are clearly presented, justifiable, and form a reasonable basis for any rating. Research reports should be balanced in their language and presentation with risks to the investment properly conveyed - Validates that financial figures and estimates are applicable to the report and are properly updated throughout the template - Ensures proper company and other disclosures are present in reports and adhere to regulatory requirements - Determines that information presented is publicly available and appropriately attributed, particularly when commenting on actual or possible corporate activity that could involve conflicts of interest - Functions as a proficient user of the firm’s research publishing system (BlueMatrix) to confirm research reports are properly scheduled and distributed to subscribers - Liaises with research analysts over issues such as wording of content and regulatory concerns, numerical inconsistencies, as well as the logic and clarity of their arguments Education & Experience bullet list: - Bachelor’s Degree - 5+ years of experience as a Supervisory Analyst at a securities firm - FINRA Series 16 License Required - Partners, Directors and Senior Officers (PDO) exam (CIRO) - Ability to prioritize and juggle several projects while working under tight deadline pressure - Strong editing and proofreading skills - Highly organized approach to work with a meticulous attention to detail, especially during busy periods - Strong written communication skills to convey messages, suggestions, and concerns clearly and effectively to team members - Knowledge of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and some Excel - Knowledge of BlueMatrix publishing system preferred - Conservative mindset when reviewing materials from a compliance, regulatory, and reputational perspective Also OCC Language etc is boilerplate (legal). Remove. Physical Requirements etc also boilerplate? Might be considered substantive? It's about physical demands; but it's likely boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Physical requirements may be considered part of job description but could be considered boilerplate? Not sure. It's not EEO but it's about physical demands. Might be considered substantive? However it's a long list of percentages; could be considered part of job description. But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep physical requirements if they are substantive. However they are quite detailed; but they might be considered part of job description. The sections we can output: About the role (maybe from first paragraph), Responsibilities (the Depth & Scope list), Requirements (Education & Experience list), Skills (maybe from same list but we could split). However we must not create thin sections. Better to combine Requirements and Skills into one? But we have headings list; we can choose to include only those with substantive content. We could include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's many sections but each has content. We need to avoid duplication: Responsibilities list already includes many of the skills; but we can still have Skills section highlighting specific abilities like editing, proofreading, organized, communication, software knowledge, etc. Might be okay. But we must not repeat same content verbatim across sections; but we can paraphrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should not omit details; but we can group them under appropriate headings without losing detail. Could we put all bullet points under Responsibilities and not have Skills? That would lose the separation of skills but still preserve all info. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe better to have fewer sections: About the role, Responsibilities (which includes duties and also skill requirements), Requirements (education/experience/licenses), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 6 sections. Skills could be merged into Responsibilities or Requirements. Let's do that. Thus sections: - About the role: short paragraph from Job Description first sentence maybe plus overview. - Responsibilities: the Depth & Scope bullet list (the detailed duties). Could also include some of the skill-based bullet points like ability to prioritize, strong editing, etc. But those are more like requirements. However they are also responsibilities? Might be okay to put them under Responsibilities as they are duties. But we also have Requirements for education/experience/licenses. We'll keep the skill-based bullet points under Responsibilities as they describe what the role entails. - Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree, 5+ years experience as a Supervisory Analyst at a securities firm, FINRA Series 16 License Required, Partners, Directors and Senior Officers (PDO) exam (CIRO). Possibly also include "Ability to prioritize and juggle several projects while working under tight deadline pressure" etc? But those are skills; we could keep them under Responsibilities. - Benefits: from "Our Total Rewards Package" paragraph describing base salary, variable compensation, health and well-being benefits, savings and retirement programs, paid time off, banking benefits, career development, reward and recognition. Also maybe mention "Learn more" but that's a link; we can ignore. - Pay: $200,000 - $225,000 USD. - Schedule: Hours 40 (presumably per week). Could phrase as "40 hours per week". We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay detail is specific, good. We must not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, OCC Language, Physical Requirements? Physical requirements might be considered substantive but it's a long list; but we could include under Responsibilities? However it's about physical demands; maybe it's part of job description. But the instruction to prefer few sections; we could add a Physical Requirements section if we want to preserve that detail. But it's quite detailed; maybe we should include it as a section? However the headings list does not include Physical Requirements; we cannot create a heading not in list. The allowed headings are only those enumerated: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add Physical Requirements heading. So we must either drop that info or incorporate it into one of those sections. Since it's not about responsibilities etc, maybe we can put under Responsibilities as "Physical demands" but that might be odd. However we could incorporate into Responsibilities as bullet points. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop it. So we need to include it somewhere within allowed headings. The best fit is Responsibilities (since it's about what the job entails physically). We'll add bullet points under Responsibilities for physical requirements. Thus Responsibilities will include both the Depth & Scope duties and the physical requirements list. Now we need to format as HTML: use

for section headings,
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No markdown. We need to ensure we only output HTML fragment. Let's craft:
