We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs before responsibilities. We need to use

for section 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 as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Who We Are", "NFL Core Values", "NFL Leadership Attributes", "Who You Are" etc? Those are likely boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Who We Are" etc might be considered boilerplate? Not explicitly listed but likely part of generic corporate fluff. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "Who We Are" and core values might be considered substantive? Usually they are boilerplate. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Not explicitly core values. But they might be considered fluff. However they are not directly about the job. I'd lean to remove them as they are generic. Also "Who You Are" talent attributes maybe also generic. But they could be considered part of qualifications? Might be considered fluff. Safer to keep only sections that have clear content: About the role (the introductory paragraphs), Responsibilities (the bullet list under Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe "Required Qualifications" and "Other Key Attributes / Characteristics"), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills (maybe "Advanced proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel" etc), Benefits (the posting mentions "Benefits Information To learn more about our comprehensive benefits offerings, please visit: NFL BENEFITS" - that's not specific detail, just a link. It says "Benefits Information To learn more about our comprehensive benefits offerings, please visit: NFL BENEFITS". That's not specific benefits; it's a pointer. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not state specific benefits, just a link. So we should not include Benefits section. Pay: there is Salary $125,000—$165,000 USD and description about pay range. That's specific, so include Pay section. Schedule: "NFL Employees are expected to work 40 hours per week." Also "This role requires onsite presence at an NFL office or stadium location, and remote and/or hybrid working options are not offered." Also "NO RELOCATION ASSISTANCE WILL BE PROVIDED." That's schedule/location info. So we can include Schedule section with those details. We also need Requirements section: maybe combine "Required Qualifications" and "Other Key Attributes / Characteristics". Could be separate: Requirements (maybe the bullet list of qualifications) and Skills (maybe specific skills). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: We'll have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including required qualifications and other key attributes), Skills (maybe proficiency in PowerPoint/Excel), Pay, Schedule. Check if any other sections like Qualifications: we already have Required Qualifications; could treat as Requirements. Skills: we have "Advanced proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel, including experience developing executive-level presentations and data-driven analyses." Also "Exceptional executive communication, writing, presentation, and facilitation skills". Those are skills. So Skills section. Now we need to format lists with
  • . For prose use

    . For headings use

    . We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

    Director, Event Partnerships & Development. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "Responsibilities". Let's capture: "The NFL is seeking a Director, Event Partnerships & Development to help drive the growth, innovation, and commercial success of the League's Events & International portfolio. Working closely with senior leadership, this role will lead strategic partnership initiatives, manage critical League commercial relationships, and identify new opportunities to expand revenue, enhance fan engagement, and strengthen the NFL's event platforms. The Director will serve as a key connector across Events, International, Sponsorship, Media, Consumer Products, Finance, Corporate Strategy, and the 32 Clubs. The role will develop business strategies, evaluate growth opportunities, and execute high-impact initiatives across major NFL tentpole events, including the Super Bowl, NFL Draft, NFL Scouting Combine, Kickoff, NFL Flag Championships, and International Games. The ideal candidate combines strategic thinking, commercial acumen, relationship leadership, analytical rigor, and execution excellence. This individual will be comfortable moving between long-range strategy and day-to-day partner management, translating insights into clear recommendations and measurable business results." That's the About the role. Responsibilities: There's a heading "Responsibilities" then subheadings: Partnership Strategy & Commercial Management, Strategic Growth & Business Development, Cross-Functional Leadership & Execution, Executive Communications & Stakeholder Engagement, People & Team Leadership. Each with bullet-like paragraphs. We need to output a
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can treat each responsibility area as a list item? Or we could break each bullet inside those sections. The text under each subheading is prose, not bullet list. But we can still treat each subheading as a list item? The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are presented as paragraphs under headings, not explicit bullet list. But we could still make each responsibility area a list item. That seems acceptable. We'll produce
        • for each responsibility area, with the content as

          inside? Or just plain text inside

        • . Probably just text. Let's extract each area's content: Partnership Strategy & Commercial Management: - Serve as the day-to-day business lead for select League commercial partnerships, including On Location and event retail partners, managing relationships that drive meaningful revenue, fan engagement, operational performance, and long-term strategic value. - Develop and execute growth plans that maximize commercial performance and identify opportunities to expand assets, activation platforms, audience reach, and partner value. - Establish clear objectives, governance, performance expectations, and issue-escalation paths with partners to ensure consistent delivery against contractual and strategic commitments. - Build trusted relationships with senior executives across partner organizations, serving as a strategic advisor and solution-oriented representative of the League. - Support the development, negotiation, renewal, and implementation of strategic commercial agreements in partnership with Legal, Finance, and other stakeholders. Strategic Growth & Business Development: - Lead the identification, evaluation, and advancement of new revenue opportunities, business models, partnership structures, and growth initiatives across the NFL's Major Events & International portfolio. - Help shape the long-term business strategy for key NFL event platforms, defining future commercial opportunities, fan experiences, and growth priorities that support broader League objectives. - Develop business cases, strategic frameworks, and executive recommendations to evaluate potential investments, partnerships, new platforms, and other commercial opportunities. - Monitor market trends, consumer behavior, emerging technologies, and competitive activity across sports, entertainment, media, hospitality, and live events to identify opportunities that strengthen the NFL's business position. Cross-Functional Leadership & Execution: - Lead cross-functional teams through the end-to-end development and execution of strategic initiatives, establishing clear objectives, workplans, decision points, responsibilities, and measures of success. - Collaborate across Events, International, Sponsorship, Finance, Media, Consumer Products, Legal, Club Business Development, and other League functions to develop integrated business solutions and drive alignment. - Oversee concurrent workstreams from concept through implementation, ensuring initiatives are delivered on time, within scope, and in accordance with League priorities and partner commitments. - Anticipate risks, identify challenges and interdependencies, and proactively develop recommendations that support successful execution and sustainable business outcomes. Executive Communications & Stakeholder Engagement: - Prepare and present business cases, strategic recommendations, partnership updates, and performance assessments for senior leadership, ownership committees, Clubs, and external partners. - Develop post-event and post-initiative assessments that capture business performance, key learnings, growth opportunities, and recommendations for future improvement. - Establish performance measurement frameworks, KPIs, and reporting tools that provide clear visibility into commercial results, partner delivery, and areas for future growth. - Translate complex business issues, research, and financial information into clear insights and actionable recommendations for senior leadership and other decision-makers. People & Team Leadership: - Provide day-to-day leadership, coaching, and development for assigned team members and project resources, setting clear priorities and reinforcing accountability, collaboration, and high-quality execution. - Help allocate resources across partnership management, business development, analytical work, and strategic initiatives to ensure the team remains focused on the highest-impact priorities. - Contribute to a high-performing and inclusive team culture that values commercial curiosity, sound judgment, continuous improvement, and shared success. Now Requirements: We have "Required Qualifications" paragraph and "Other Key Attributes / Characteristics". Let's extract. Required Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree in business, finance, strategy, or a related field is a plus. - 10+ years of progressive experience in sports, media, entertainment, live events, hospitality, consulting, financial services, or another commercially oriented business environment. - Demonstrated experience developing business cases, partnership strategies, revenue growth initiatives, or new business opportunities. - Strong commercial and financial acumen, including experience evaluating revenue models, forecasts, investments, and performance metrics. - Proven ability to manage complex partner relationships and influence senior internal and external stakeholders without direct authority. Other Key Attributes / Characteristics: - Exceptional executive communication, writing, presentation, and facilitation skills, with the ability to distill complex issues into clear recommendations. - Advanced proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel, including experience developing executive-level presentations and data-driven analyses. - Entrepreneurial, collaborative, and highly organized, with sound judgment, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple time-sensitive priorities in a matrixed organization. We could split Requirements (the first block) and Skills (the second block). Or combine both into Requirements. But we need a Skills section for proficiency in PowerPoint/Excel and communication skills. Let's make Requirements = the Required Qualifications block. Skills = the Other Key Attributes block (communication, PowerPoint/Excel, entrepreneurial etc). That seems reasonable. Now Pay: We have description about pay range and then "Salary $125,000—$165,000 USD". Also description: "This job posting contains a pay range, which represents the range of salaries or hourly rates that the NFL believes, in good faith, at the time of this posting that it might be willing to pay for the posted job in the location(s) specified. The NFL expects to hire for this position near the middle of the range. Only in truly rare and exceptional circumstances, where an external candidate has experience, credentials or expertise that far exceed those required or expected for the position, would the NFL consider paying a salary or rate near the higher end of the range." We should include that descriptive text as prose under Pay section, plus the salary range maybe as a

          or within same. Schedule: We have "NFL Employees are expected to work 40 hours per week." Also "This role requires onsite presence at an NFL office or stadium location, and remote and/or hybrid working options are not offered." Also "NO RELOCATION ASSISTANCE WILL BE PROVIDED." Also maybe "At the NFL, in-person work at our offices is a top priority because it allows us to collaborate more effectively, build stronger connections, and maintain the culture that drives our success." That's also schedule/location. We'll include those. Now we must not include Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Also we must not include sections like "Qualifications" separate from Requirements if we already have Requirements. But we could still have Qualifications as same as Requirements; but to avoid duplication, we just have Requirements. Now produce HTML fragment:
