Director of Events & Marketing

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: equal opportunity, etc. Also remove application instructions (none). We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to parse content: The posting includes: - Intro paragraph(s) about role and portfolio. - "What You’ll Do" with sub-sections: Drive Sales & Business Development, Lead the Sales & Events Team, Manage the Event Sales Process, Sales Strategy, Forecasting & Financial Performance, Marketing & Partnerships, Event Execution & Operational Partnership. - "What You Bring to the Team" (some traits). - "Qualifications" list. - "Schedule & Work Environment" includes schedule details. - Also mention "This is a full-time, on-site leadership position based in San Francisco." etc. - No explicit Pay or Benefits mentioned. So we should not create Pay or Benefits sections. - Skills? Could be derived from qualifications but we have Qualifications section; maybe we can put Skills as separate if there is explicit skills list. The qualifications list includes many skills; but we could treat Qualifications as section and maybe Skills not needed. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role: could be the introductory paragraphs describing role and portfolio. - Responsibilities: could be the "What You’ll Do" sections. - Requirements: maybe the "What You Bring to the Team" (traits) or qualifications? Usually Requirements are qualifications. But we have Qualifications separate. Could treat Requirements as the "What You Bring to the Team" (soft skills). But we need to avoid duplication. Better: Use About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You’ll Do), Requirements (What You Bring to the Team), Qualifications (the bullet list), Schedule (Schedule & Work Environment). No Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. We need to use

for each section heading. Inside sections, use

for prose,

• for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must remove boilerplate: equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "We are an equal opportunity employer..." and the Fair Chance Ordinance line. Also remove any duplicated lines. We need to keep schedule details: full-time, on-site, 45-50 hours per week, Monday-Friday, weekend/evening as needed. We need to keep the mention of Tripleseat experience required, Toast POS experience. We need to keep the list of qualifications. We need to keep the "What You Bring to the Team" paragraph. We need to keep the "What You’ll Do" sub-sections content. We need to keep the intro about portfolio. Let's extract content. Intro: "We are seeking an experienced, highly motivated Director of Events & Marketing to lead private event sales, and marketing initiatives for a dynamic portfolio of San Francisco restaurant and hospitality venues. This position offers the unique opportunity to represent and drive event sales across a distinctive portfolio of San Francisco hospitality venues, each offering its own personality, experience, and event possibilities. The portfolio includes Schroeder’s, San Francisco’s iconic German beer hall offering a lively setting for corporate gatherings, celebrations, and large-scale events; Press Club, a sophisticated wine bar, lounge, and versatile private event space in the heart of downtown San Francisco; Pacific Cocktail Haven (PCH), an acclaimed James Beard Award-winning cocktail bar known for its innovative beverage program and exceptional hospitality; and Kona’s Street Market, a vibrant and creative cocktail destination offering a fun, energetic setting for private events and celebrations. Together, these venues provide an exciting range of opportunities—from intimate cocktail receptions and wine experiences to corporate events, full venue buyouts, celebrations, and large-scale gatherings. The Director of Events & Marketing will have the opportunity to creatively package and position these unique spaces, build relationships throughout the San Francisco corporate and events community, and develop business across a diverse and highly regarded collection of hospitality concepts. This is an exciting opportunity for a proven hospitality sales leader who knows the San Francisco market, loves building relationships, and is energized by the challenge of growing revenue. The ideal candidate is both a strategic leader and a hands-on salesperson. You will lead and develop the events sales team while also personally prospecting, selling, developing client relationships, and closing business.

  About the role

  ...intro paragraphs...

  Responsibilities

  Maybe we can break into sub-sections? But we only have h3 headings allowed; we could use

  for paragraphs and maybe

  • for each bullet within responsibilities. However the responsibilities content is already in paragraph sentences; we could keep as

    for each sub-section or combine. Better to keep as

    for each sub-section heading (but we cannot use h4). Could
