We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: description paragraph(s) at start: "Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is seeking a Director, Software Portfolio Excellence that will be a key leadership role within the Software Line of Business, responsible for driving the operating discipline, cross-functional alignment, and business execution required to translate Software portfolio strategy into measurable business outcomes. This leader serves as the connective tissue across the Software portfolio and the functions required for its success. The role establishes an integrated operating view of portfolio priorities, commitments, risks, dependencies, investments, commercial readiness, and business performance, and drives accountability across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Professional Services, SaaS/Operations, Finance, Legal, Procurement, and other stakeholders. This is not a software delivery program-management role. Engineering remains accountable for engineering execution, quality, schedule, and delivery. Product leaders remain accountable for product and portfolio strategy and commercial outcomes, and functional leaders remain accountable for execution within their organizations. The Director, Software Portfolio Excellence creates and runs the operating system that connects those accountabilities, identifies where momentum is slowing, drives resolution of blockers, and escalates the highest-priority issues with clear recommendations." That's the about. - Responsibilities: bullet list under "Responsibilities" heading. The posting includes subheadings: Software Portfolio Governance & Prioritization, Cross-Functional Business Execution, Business & Financial Performance, Release & Commercialization Readiness, Executive Operating Cadence & Decision Support, Strategic Portfolio Initiatives & Continuous Improvement. Each with bullet points. We need to produce
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can combine all responsibilities into a list, or we could keep subheadings? The instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So we likely need a Responsibilities section with

      Responsibilities

      then a
        with
      • items for each duty. Should we keep subheadings inside? Probably not; just list items. - Requirements: The posting includes "Required Bachelor’s degree with 12+ years of relevant experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience." Then a list of required competencies. Those are requirements. So we can have a Requirements section with
          items. - Preferred: "Preferred MBA or equivalent business leadership experience.Experience in enterprise software, SaaS, retail technology, or complex global product businesses." That could be Qualifications or Skills? Possibly Qualifications section. The instruction includes Qualifications as possible heading. We could put Preferred under Qualifications. Or we could have a Skills section for abilities. But we need to decide. The posting also includes "Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is a dynamic billion-dollar global company based in Research Triangle Park, NC, providing retail store solutions to your favorite brands. Have you ever been in a hurry and made use of the self-checkout at Lowe's Foods, earned fuel rewards at Kroger, or just paid for purchases at retailers such as Walmart, Michaels, Carrefour, The Gap, Calvin Klein, Boots, Cencosud, BJ's, or Costco? These are just a few examples of our in-store solutions and impressive customer base that made us the world's installed market share leader. The nature of retail is changing quickly, so if you share our 'Together Commerce' vision of a seamless two-way, participatory shopping experience, let's get together to drive the new economy." This is company description; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? The instruction says use headings for About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we could incorporate that into About the role paragraph. - Benefits: The posting includes "Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, Inc. offers a competitive salary and generous benefits package including the following: Group health coverage (medical, dental, & vision)Employee Assistance ProgramsPre-tax spending accounts401(k) plan (with company match)Company provided life insurancePet InsuranceEmployee discountsGenerous paid holiday schedule, paid vacation & sick/personal days". That's benefits. So we need a Benefits section with
            list. - Pay: The posting mentions "competitive salary" but no specific number. According to instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says "competitive salary" but not a specific figure. Is that enough to include Pay? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It says "competitive salary" is a statement about pay, albeit vague. Might be considered stating pay. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And they say "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "competitive salary" is similar to placeholder? It's not a specific number but it's a statement. I'd lean to not include Pay section because it's not specific. The instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "competitive salary". That is a statement about pay, albeit not a number. But it's still stating something about pay. However they gave example of filler text like "commensurate with experience". "competitive salary" is similar. I'd avoid Pay section. - Schedule: No mention of schedule. So skip. - Skills: Could be derived from required abilities: strong business and financial acumen, proven ability to create operating cadence, etc. Those are more like qualifications/skills. Could put under Skills section. But we already have Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction includes Skills as possible heading. We could put the abilities under Skills. However we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: We'll have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly also Skills? But we can incorporate abilities into Requirements or Qualifications. The Required list includes education/experience and then a bunch of competencies. Those could be Requirements. The Preferred list could be Qualifications. The abilities like "Strong judgment and executive presence; able to distinguish critical portfolio issues from noise and bring forward concise, grounded recommendations." etc are also requirements. So we can put all those under Requirements. Then Qualifications could be Preferred? Or we could skip Qualifications and just have Requirements covering both required and preferred. But we have to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So if we put both required and preferred under Requirements, that's fine. We could also have a Qualifications section for Preferred. Let's do: Requirements (required), Qualifications (preferred). That seems logical. Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, legal, etc. Also remove "Eeo" line and the diversity paragraph. Also remove "Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, Inc. offers a competitive salary and generous benefits package including the following:" but keep the benefits list. Also remove "Have you ever been in a hurry..."? That's company description; we can keep as part of About the role. Now produce HTML. Structure:

            ... paragraph(s) ...

            Responsibilities

            • ... each duty ...

            We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details. About the role paragraph: combine the initial description plus company description. Initial description: "Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is seeking a Director, Software Portfolio Excellence that will be a key leadership role within the Software Line of Business, responsible for driving the operating discipline, cross-functional alignment, and business execution required to translate Software portfolio strategy into measurable business outcomes.

We can combine into one paragraph or two paragraphs. Use

            for prose. Could be two

            elements. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet. From posting: Software Portfolio Governance & Prioritization - Establish and operate an integrated management system across the Software portfolio, including Commerce, Security Suite, AI/Agentic, Payments/Legacy, Marketplace and other portfolio priorities. - Translate portfolio strategy into explicit priorities, decisions, commitments, owners, milestones, dependencies, and measurable outcomes. - Maintain transparency across competing priorities and ensure organizational attention and resources remain aligned to the highest-value business outcomes.

Business & Financial Performance - Establish an integrated view of portfolio performance including revenue, ARR/SaaS, pipeline, margin/GP, investment, adoption, releases, and other key business metrics. - Partner with Finance and functional owners to identify variances, risks, investment or utilization concerns, and required corrective actions. - Connect execution progress to commercial and financial outcomes and drive follow-through on portfolio-level actions. Release & Commercialization Readiness - Drive cross-functional readiness for major launches and releases across product, engineering, sales, marketing, technical enablement, services, operations, customer communications, legal/procurement, and partner dependencies. - Ensure launch plans are substantive, owned, measurable, and started early enough to support successful commercialization. - Surface readiness gaps and dependencies early and drive accountable functions to resolution. Executive Operating Cadence & Decision Support - Lead portfolio reviews, KPI scorecards, strategic initiative reviews, risk/dependency reviews, and action closure.
