We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes "Position Overview", "Essential Job Functions", "Education & Experience", "Certifications & Licenses", "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities", "Pay Range", "Benefits". Also maybe "Applicants must be authorized..." is a requirement but not a section. We'll include sections with actual content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like "Looking for more than just a job? ..."? That's introductory marketing; we need to preserve substantive information. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep that introductory paragraph? It's not a section heading but it's substantive. We can put it in a

before sections. Also "Learn more about Pekin Insurance Here!" is a link maybe but we can keep as text? It's not essential but it's part of posting. Probably keep. We must not include sections with filler like "N/A". Certifications & Licenses includes "N/A" after list? Actually text: "Certifications & Licenses Life and Health license requiredAt least one of the following designations are preferred:Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), Fellow, Life Management Institute (FLMI), Life Underwriter Training Council (LUTC), or Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow (LUTCF)N/A". The "N/A" appears after list maybe indicating no other certifications. We should not include a heading with filler; but we have real content: Life and Health license required and preferred designations. So we can include Certifications & Licenses section with that content, ignoring the trailing "N/A". We'll strip it. Pay Range: we have actual numbers, so include Pay section. Benefits: we have list, include Benefits. Schedule: not mentioned explicitly; there is "Flexible/Hybrid Work Schedule" under benefits. That's schedule info but it's in benefits. We could still include a Schedule section if we have info; but the instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state flexible/hybrid work schedule under benefits. Could make a Schedule section with that detail. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might be okay to include Schedule as part of Benefits. But we have a Benefits section already; we could include schedule inside Benefits. Safer to not create separate Schedule section unless we have explicit schedule details like "Monday-Friday 9-5". We'll keep schedule inside Benefits. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. Remove "Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship now or in the future." That's a requirement; it's substantive. Should we keep? It's a requirement about work authorization. It's not a section but we can include in a

maybe under Requirements? There's no explicit Requirements section but we could add a short paragraph after Education & Experience. However instruction: "Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". This is a requirement statement, not a list. Could be a

    . We'll keep it. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph: "Looking for more than just a job? You’ve found it. At Pekin Insurance, you’re not a number—you’re part of something bigger. For over 100 years, we’ve built a community where people are valued, supported, and empowered to grow.

Position Overview: "The Director - Life Sales will assist the Assistant Vice President and/or Vice President in providing leadership in the continuing development, procurement, and implementation of Life sales and Medicare Supplement in our multi-line states. The Director is responsible for providing direction, managing assigned departmental objectives, overseeing assigned staffing and expenses, ensuring the development and engagement of employees, and directing implementation for long-term strategic needs and initiatives." Essential Job Functions: list of bullet points (the long sentence with many functions separated by commas? Actually each function separated by a capital letter? The text: "Assists with administration, leadership, coaching, and feedback to direct reports which includes but is not limited to performance management, employee relations, creating development plans, and achievement of goalsServes as a role model and change champion, developing strong teams to maximize resources and capability to deliver business resultsManages multiple business processes across one or more functional areaEstablishes measurable individual and team objectives that are aligned with business and organizational goalsEnsures staff has the resources and skills needed to support all work initiatives, and implements training plans when there is a gapOversees the execution of multiple large and complex plans and projects aimed to achieve strategic goals for one or more functional areaEngages key stakeholders to proactively support strategic initiatives and departmental objectives, including the monitoring of production, recruitment, loss ratio, and debit balances on a monthly basisAssists with development of departmental policies and standards for the companyAssists with departmental budget preparation, including those for departmental operations, project implementation, and trainingOperates as a subject matter expert, providing direction and thought leadership in some aspects of departmental operationsFosters positive relationships with key business stakeholders (internal and external) by understanding business prioritiesContributes to disaster recovery and business continuity plans and procedures for assigned departmental functionsPerforms any other related duties as required or assigned" We need to split into list items. Each seems to start with a verb. We'll separate at each capital letter that starts a new sentence (but there is no punctuation). We'll manually split based on the phrases: - Assists with administration, leadership, coaching, and feedback to direct reports which includes but is not limited to performance management, employee relations, creating development plans, and achievement of goals - Serves as a role model and change champion, developing strong teams to maximize resources and capability to deliver business results - Manages multiple business processes across one or more functional area - Establishes measurable individual and team objectives that are aligned with business and organizational goals - Ensures staff has the resources and skills needed to support all work initiatives, and implements training plans when there is a gap - Oversees the execution of multiple large and complex plans and projects aimed to achieve strategic goals for one or more functional area - Engages key stakeholders to proactively support strategic initiatives and departmental objectives, including the monitoring of production, recruitment, loss ratio, and debit balances on a monthly basis - Assists with development of departmental policies and standards for the company - Assists with departmental budget preparation, including those for departmental operations, project implementation, and training - Operates as a subject matter expert, providing direction and thought leadership in some aspects of departmental operations - Fosters positive relationships with key business stakeholders (internal and external) by understanding business priorities - Contributes to disaster recovery and business continuity plans and procedures for assigned departmental functions - Performs any other related duties as required or assigned Education & Experience: "Bachelor’s Degree in business-related field Typically requires 8+ years of experience pertaining to departmental functions Typically requires 5+ years of prior supervisory or managerial experience Master’s Degree in business-related field preferred" We can make list. Certifications & Licenses: "Life and Health license required At least one of the following designations are preferred: Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), Fellow, Life Management Institute (FLMI), Life Underwriter Training Council (LUTC), or Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow (LUTCF)". Remove trailing N/A. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: list of items: - Demonstrated skill in: personnel resources management through motivating, developing, and directing people as they work, identifying the best people for the job - communicating effectively in writing as appropriate for the needs of the audience - talking to others to convey information effectively - using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions, or approaches to problems - Demonstrated Ability To manage a budget and work within the constraints of that budget - process and handle confidential information with discretion - work evenings, nights, and weekends as necessary - build client relationships - handle difficult and stressful situations with professional composure - maintain effective interpersonal relationships - exercise sound judgement in making critical decisions - Demonstrated Knowledge Of project control and cost estimating techniques - project planning and implementation We could group but fine. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship now or in the future. (Requirement) Pay Range: "$126,000.00 - $172,000.00 annually This range is based on the expected level of experience and skills for this position. Final compensation will depend on individual." Benefits: list: - Health, Dental and Vision Insurance - Generous 401(k) with company match - Paid Time Off (PTO) with Paid Holidays - Flexible/Hybrid Work Schedule - Paid Volunteer Program - For more information about the benefits we offer, please visit our Careers Page. (maybe keep as sentence) We should not include "For more information..." as a list item maybe but it's part of benefits description. Could keep as a

    Make sure no extra sections like About the role (we didn't use). Could we add About the role as heading for intro? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but not mandatory to use those exact headings. We can use Position Overview as heading; that's fine. We must not repeat job title as heading. We didn't. Now output only HTML fragment. Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed "Learn more about Pekin Insurance Here!" maybe keep as part of intro? It's a call to action; we kept it in intro sentence. Good. Check for any duplicated lines: none. Check for any placeholders like "N/A": we removed
