We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Your Role Koch Engineered Solutions (KES) is looking for an experienced Communications Director. The Communications Director is responsible for leading the communications vision and direction, providing consulting expertise across businesses, capabilities and operations, developing and executing strategic plans, as well as supervising the communications team. This role is preferably based in Wichita, Kansas. Relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates. In this role, you will contribute to business results by partnering closely with leaders to advance understanding and connection to the vision, our Principle Based Management™ philosophy and culture, our priorities, and key initiatives. You and your team will craft and deliver strategic communications plans for internal audiences, with deliverables such as presentations, town halls, videos, and other content. You will also own the KES corporate brand, deploying it internally and externally to position KES as a trusted partner to customers and an employer of choice in the market. This position is not eligible for VISA Sponsorship." That's about the role. Next: "Our Team We are an in-house Marketing & Communication capability supporting all KES business units. We contribute to business outcomes through close partnership and collaboration with leadership, HR, and supervisors. We leverage the strengths, talents, and experience of our team and trusted third-party agencies to design and execute targeted marketing and communications plans." That's maybe about team, but not a required section; could be part of About the role or maybe we can include as part of About the role. Then "What You Will Do:" list bullet points. Then "Who You Are: (Basic Qualifications)" list bullet points. Then "What Will Put You Ahead:" list bullet points. Then compensation: "For this role, we anticipate paying $135,000 - $165,000 per year. This role is eligible for variable pay, issued as a monetary bonus or in another form. At Koch companies, we are entrepreneurs. This means we openly challenge the status quo, find new ways to create value and get rewarded for our individual contributions. Any compensation range provided for a role is an estimate determined by available market data. The actual amount may be higher or lower than the range provided considering each candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location. If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy." That's Pay. Then "Hiring Philosophy All Koch companies value diversity of thought, perspectives, aptitudes, experiences, and backgrounds. We are Military Ready and Second Chance employers. Learn more about our hiring philosophy here." This is EEO/equal opportunity; we should remove as boilerplate. Then "Who We Are As a Koch company, Koch Engineered Solutions (KES) specializes in process and pollution control equipment and digital technologies to help industries reduce emissions, save energy and get the most from their resources. From pollution control to advanced filtration, we’re focused on providing customers with products and solutions to help them optimize, transform and succeed. Industries we serve include refineries, chemicals, municipalities, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, food and dairy, utilities and automotive. At Koch, employees are empowered to do what they do best to make life better. Learn how our business philosophy helps employees unleash their potential while creating value for themselves and the company." That's about the company; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? The instruction says we can have sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "About the role" could include description of role and maybe company overview. But we should not create sections with filler. We have substantive content for About the role (role description, location, relocation, visa ineligibility, team description). Also we have Responsibilities (What You Will Do). Requirements (Basic Qualifications). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? But we have "What Will Put You Ahead:" which could be Skills or Preferred Qualifications. We'll map: Requirements = Basic Qualifications. Skills = What Will Put You Ahead. Qualifications maybe not needed separately; but we could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for those sections if content exists. We have content for Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Skills (What Will Put You Ahead). Also we have Pay. Benefits: there is a section "Our Benefits" describing benefits. That's substantive. So include Benefits. Schedule: no mention of schedule (full-time/part-time, hours). Not present, so omit Schedule. Also we have About the role: we have initial description plus maybe "Our Team". We'll include that as About the role. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no

Communications Director

. Use

About the role

etc. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

    . We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like location (Wichita, Kansas), relocation assistance may be available, not eligible for VISA Sponsorship, principle based management, etc. Also details about team: in-house Marketing & Communication capability supporting all KES business units, etc. Responsibilities list: bullet points under "What You Will Do:": - Develop and lead the communications function by setting vision and priorities, establishing an operating model, and managing and developing talent to maximize potential. - Establish and advance partnerships across KES business units. - Engage cross-functionally to influence and shape direction for advancing company vision and culture, business initiatives, and workforce strategies. - Identify strategic priorities and develop plans and roadmaps for success. - Optimize for superior outcomes, considering economics, risk, and alternatives. - Deliver sound strategic counsel to stakeholders, teammates and direct reports. - Collaborate with humility and openness to improve work product and results. - Drive operational excellence with your team. - Practice division of labor principles to organize people and resources around the work. We need to keep each as

  • . Requirements (Basic Qualifications) bullet points: - Demonstrated experience with strategic communications planning, development, and execution. - Demonstrated experience leading the talent development and supervision of a team and/or capability. - Experience working with executives and senior leadership and providing respectful challenge by speaking up when you see a better path, even if it means questioning leadership decisions. Skills (What Will Put You Ahead) bullet points: - Strong understanding of business operations, financial drivers, customer value, and how corporate communications supports strategic business priorities. - Experience with manufacturing companies and/or Fortune 500 companies. - Ability to quickly understand complex manufacturing and field-based services industries. - Experience identifying, managing, and balancing multiple priorities. - Experience in corporate branding. - Experience working with TailoredMail, SharePoint, Firstup, and other enterprise communication tools. - Experience with traditional and social media communications. Benefits: from "Our Benefits Our goal is for each employee, and their families, to live fulfilling and healthy lives. We provide essential resources and support to build and maintain physical, financial, and emotional strength - focusing on overall wellbeing so you can focus on what matters most. Our benefits plan includes - medical, dental, vision, flexible spending and health savings accounts, life insurance, ADD, disability, retirement, paid vacation/time off, educational assistance, and may also include infertility assistance, paid parental leave and adoption assistance. Specific eligibility criteria is set by the applicable Summary Plan Description, policy or guideline and benefits may vary by geographic region. If you have questions on what benefits apply to you, please speak to your recruiter." We need to keep that as prose maybe with a list for benefits items. The sentence includes a list after "includes -". We could turn that into a
    • list. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll create a

      for the intro sentences, then a

        for the list of benefits. Pay: we have compensation range and variable pay details. We'll put in

        maybe with

          ? It's not a list but we can keep as prose. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, hiring philosophy, etc. Also remove "Learn more about our hiring philosophy here." and "Equal Opportunities" etc. Also remove "If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy." That's part of Pay section? Actually it's part of compensation philosophy; we could keep it as part of Pay because it's about compensation. But the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The sentence about speaking to recruiter about compensation philosophy is not exactly boilerplate; it's related to compensation. Might be okay to keep. However, the earlier sentence "Any compensation range provided for a role is an estimate determined by available market data. The actual amount may be higher or lower than the range provided considering each candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location." That's also part of compensation philosophy. We'll keep it as part of Pay. We also need to remove "If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter." That's generic but appears in Benefits and Pay sections. Might be considered application instruction? It's not exactly applying; it's a contact. Might be okay to keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly application instruction but a recruiter contact. Might be considered boilerplate? Safer to remove those lines? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The lines "If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy." and "If you have questions on what benefits apply to you, please speak to your recruiter." Could be considered application instructions? They are not about how to apply but about asking questions. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove them. However, we need to preserve ALL substantive information; removing those lines might be considered removing substantive info? They are not substantive about the job; they are just a contact suggestion. I'd lean to remove them as they are not essential job details. The instruction says remove application instructions; these are not exactly application instructions but could be considered similar. I'll remove them to be safe. Thus Benefits section will not have the final sentence about speaking to recruiter. We'll keep the description of benefits plan. Pay section: we will keep the range and variable pay, and the sentences about estimate and actual amount may vary. We'll remove the sentence about speaking to recruiter. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

          About the role

          ... (prose)

          Maybe we need to split About the role into multiple paragraphs? We'll combine. Let's craft About the role prose: "Koch Engineered Solutions (KES) is looking for an experienced Communications Director.
