Director Program Management
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to map content to these headings appropriately.
We have content: About Oshkosh Defense (company description) maybe "About the role"? Actually "About Oshkosh Defense" is company overview; could be placed under "About the role"? But guidelines: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it.
We have:
- Job Summary: describes role responsibilities. Could map to "Responsibilities" or "About the role". Probably "About the role" for summary, and "Responsibilities" for duties.
- YOUR IMPACT includes many bullet-like paragraphs (though not bullet list). Could be responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: qualifications.
- Standout Qualifications: qualifications/skills.
- Pay Range: Pay.
- Benefits: Not provided, so omit.
- Schedule: Not provided, omit.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The posting does not have explicit bullet lists but we can convert paragraphs into list items? The instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". If the content is not already a list, we may not need to make a list; we can use
. But we could also turn each duty into
- . However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can format as list for clarity. Probably better to keep as
for prose unless it's a list. The posting uses headings and paragraphs; we can keep as
. But we need to use
- for any list. There's no explicit list, but we could treat each duty as list item. However that might be inventing structure. Safer: keep as
for prose, and only use
- if there is a list. There's no explicit bullet list, but there are sections with multiple sentences; we could still wrap each sentence in
- but that changes meaning. I'd keep as
.
Thus output:
About the role
[Job Summary text]
Responsibilities
[YOUR IMPACT text]
Requirements
[Minimum Qualifications text]
Qualifications
[Standout Qualifications text]
Pay
[Pay Range text]
We must not include headings with empty content. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove the equal opportunity statements etc. Also remove contact email etc. Also remove "Oshkosh Defense, An Oshkosh Company" maybe part of About Oshkosh Defense; we can keep that as part of About the role? Actually "About Oshkosh Defense" is company description; could be included in About the role section. We'll keep that paragraph.
We need to remove duplicated lines, etc.
Let's extract content:

Pay Range
$136,800.00 - $253,200.00
The above pay range reflects the minimum and maximum target pay for the position across all U.S. locations.

Beyond offering a competitive total rewards package, we prioritize a people-first culture and offer various opportunities to support team member growth and success.
We should also maybe include a brief about benefits? Not present, so omit.
Now produce HTML.
We need to wrap each section in and then
for prose. For the bullet-like content under YOUR IMPACT, we could keep as
with line breaks? Could also convert each bullet to
- inside
. The instruction: "Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The YOUR IMPACT section is essentially a list of duties grouped under headings. It might be appropriate to treat each duty as list item. However the headings like "Strategic Leadership & Growth" are subheadings; we could keep them as or just plain text. But we are not allowed to add extra headings beyond the specified ones? Not prohibited, but we should avoid creating extra headings that are not in the list unless they are part of content. The posting includes those subheadings; we should preserve them. So we could keep them as
with maybe. But we cannot add markdown; we can use HTML . That's fine.
Thus we can keep the YOUR IMPACT as a containing the text with line breaks (
) or just as is. But to follow "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits", we could treat each bullet as
- . However the bullet lines are not preceded by bullet characters; they are separate lines after each heading. Might be okay to convert to list.
But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; converting to list does not lose info. It might be acceptable.
Let's decide: We'll output
- for each duty line, preserving subheadings as inside
- maybe.
Simplify: We'll keep as
for simplicity and not violate rule (rule says use
- for any list; if we don't have a list, we can use
). The content is not explicitly a list; it's paragraphs with headings. So using
is fine.
Thus final HTML:
