We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes overview, responsibilities, etc. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about Hunter Douglas (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes overview. But we have "Position Overview" then description. Could treat that as "About the role". Also there is "Our dream..." etc. Might be company overview. But we can put under "About the role" the position overview and maybe company description.
- Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities with subheadings: Safety & Compliance Leadership, Operational Excellence & Performance, Matrix Leadership & Cross‑Functional Collaboration, Quality & Customer Performance, Cost, Inventory & Asset Management, People Leadership & Engagement.

These are responsibilities. We can put them under Responsibilities
and then a - each bullet.
- Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Could be under Requirements heading. Or separate Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine Required and Preferred under Qualifications. Or we could have Requirements for required, Qualifications for preferred? But better to follow: Use
Requirements
for required qualifications, and Qualifications
for preferred? However they said "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have multiple sections. We'll include:
- About the role (position overview + company description maybe)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (required qualifications)
- Qualifications (preferred qualifications)
- Benefits (what's in it for you)
- Pay (salary range, bonus target)
- Schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule section because no content.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific salary range and bonus target.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include details about base salary range, bonus target, benefits list, etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, SMS consent, privacy policy links, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to ensure we don't include navigation, cookie, etc.
Let's extract substantive content:
Company description: "Hunter Douglas is the world’s leading manufacturer of window coverings and a major manufacturer of architectural products. We are a brand that you know and trust. With more than 100 years of innovation, we’ve defined our industry with proprietary products that deliver revolutionary style and functionality and can be found in millions of homes and commercial buildings globally.We are searching for candidates that are driven, intelligent, creative, and entrepreneurial.

Our dream is to become the fastest growing, most loved, window covering company in the world. What’s yours?"
Position Overview: "The Director of Plant Operations is a senior manufacturing leader accountable for end‑to‑end performance of a fabrication plant within a matrixed operating model. This role has full responsibility for delivering sustainable results across Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, Inventory, and People Engagement (SQDCIP) while collaborating and influencing leaders outside of direct reporting lines to execute enterprise priorities and stretch improvement targets.The successful candidate combines strong operational leadership, manufacturing excellence, and change management capability with the ability to operate effectively in a matrix environment—driving results through influence, standardization, and cross‑functional alignment rather than authority alone.Hunter Douglas is a market leader in window coverings and our mission is to become the fastest growing, most loved, and most efficient window covering company in the world. We work every day to help people live beautifully in a Connected, Energy-Efficient space. Hunter Douglas has a unique business model as we are structured by division, based on product or function with a vertically integrated supply chain.

Your technical skills and strategic operations leadership will be key in partnering to build a culture of top talent attraction, development and retention where a world-class high performance team fosters top tier performance and growth."
Key Responsibilities: list with subheadings.
We need to convert each subheading into bullet points? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a top-level
with each responsibility as - . Inside each
- we can include the subheading as maybe bold text? But we cannot add extra tags beyond HTML? We can include inside
- . That's fine.
Thus:
- Safety & Compliance Leadership: Create and sustain a safety‑first culture, ensuring compliance with all environmental, health, and safety regulations. Lead safe work practices, job hazard analysis, training, and proper PPE utilization across the facility. Partner with EHS and HR to reduce incident rates and embed safety as a core operating discipline.
- Operational Excellence & Performance: Lead daily plant operations to achieve on‑time delivery, throughput, and productivity targets across fabrication processes. Implement and sustain standardized operations management systems, including: Tiered daily management, Visual controls and KPIs, Standard work and process discipline. Drive continuous improvement initiatives to improve labor efficiency, OEE, yield, scrap reduction, and material utilization.
... etc.
We need to preserve all details.
Then "Success Measures (What “Good” Looks Like)" maybe could be part of Responsibilities or separate? Could be under Responsibilities as additional bullet? But it's more like performance expectations. Could be included under Responsibilities as bullet.
But we can also create a separate section "Success Measures" but not in allowed headings list. Better to incorporate into Responsibilities.
Now Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations Management, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in manufacturing or fabrication environments
- Demonstrated success leading plant operations with full operational accountability
- Proven ability to operate effectively in a matrix organization, influencing without direct authority
- Strong working knowledge of Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, and performance management systems
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in complex, made‑to‑order or fabrication‑heavy manufacturing environments
- Formal Lean / Six Sigma training or certification
- Experience leading cultural transformation and change initiatives
- Multi‑site or network‑based manufacturing exposure
Benefits: "What's in it for you?" includes:
- Annual base salary range: $160,000 - $180,000
- Bonus target range: 30% - 45%
- Generous benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life, disability
- A company culture that prioritizes internal development and professional growth
- Time off with pay
- 401(k) plan with a degree of employer matching
- Paid parental leave
- Wellness programs and product discounts
Also note: "Please note, all offers presented to candidates are carefully crafted to ensure market competitiveness, equity, and reflect the individual candidate’s education, experience, skills and potential." This is maybe fluff but still substantive? It's a note about offers. Could be included under Benefits or Pay? Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO/legal. It's about offer crafting. Might keep as a brief note under Benefits or Pay. But we can include as a under Benefits.
We must not include the EEO line, SMS consent, privacy policy, terms of use.
Now Pay section: we could put salary and bonus under Pay. But we already have them in Benefits. The instruction says we can have Pay section if posting actually states them. It does state base salary range and bonus target. So we should create a Pay section with that info. Benefits section then can list other benefits (medical, dental, etc., culture, time off, 401k, parental leave, wellness, discounts). The note about offers could go under Benefits or Pay.
Schedule: not present, omit.
Now About the role: combine company description and position overview. Might be long but okay.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not using "Director of Plant Operations" as heading.
