We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About The Opportunity (maybe "About the role" heading) - Your Day-to-Day (Responsibilities) - Who We're Looking For (Requirements/Qualifications/Skills) - Annual Base Salary $68,000 (Pay) - What Will Make You Successful (maybe "Skills" or "Qualities") - About PMI U.S. (maybe "About the company" but not required; we can include as a section? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include other headings if they have content? It says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those categories. However we can include "About PMI U.S." maybe as "About the role"? Not exactly. Could treat as "About the role" includes description of role and company. But we have separate "About The Opportunity" and "About PMI U.S." Might combine. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO statement, references to PMI, etc. Remove duplicated lines, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions besides maybe "Learn more at www.uspmi.com." That's not application instruction but could be considered boilerplate? It's a link to learn more; maybe we keep as it's substantive? It's not required but could be kept. However instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement is definitely boilerplate; remove. The "Learn more at www.uspmi.com." maybe not boilerplate but could be considered navigation? It's a link; maybe we keep as it's part of About PMI U.S. but it's not essential. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove boilerplate; that line is not boilerplate per se but could be considered promotional. I'd keep it as part of About PMI U.S. but it's not a heading. We'll include as a paragraph. We need to include Pay section because posting states Annual Base Salary $68,000. So we need a Pay heading

    maybe. Schedule: Not mentioned. So no Schedule section. Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Thus sections: - About the role (maybe combine About The Opportunity and About PMI U.S.) - Responsibilities (Your Day-to-Day) - Requirements (list items) - Requirements (Who We're Looking For) maybe split into Requirements and Qualifications? Could combine. But we have separate headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could split: Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications (maybe leadership experience etc), Skills (communication, analytical, etc). However we need to avoid thin sections. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one section "Requirements" that includes education, experience, leadership, skills. But we have to follow instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't require us to use all; we can choose which to include. So we could have:

    About the role

    ... (About The Opportunity + About PMI U.S.)

    Responsibilities

    • ... list items ...

    Requirements

    • ... list items ...

    Skills

    But we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract content. About The Opportunity: "As an Early Careers Territory Sales Manager, you won't spend your days behind a desk. You'll own a business territory, partner directly with retail customers, analyze sales data, and execute strategies that drive growth in your market. You'll learn how consumer products are brought to life in the marketplace while developing skills in sales, relationship management, negotiation, business analytics, and strategic planning. Location: Eastern Region (U.S.) Candidates selected for this opportunity will be hired into PMI U.S.'s Eastern Region and placed into a specific sales territory based on business needs. Territory assignments are typically located in or near major metropolitan markets. Final placement details will be shared prior to the start date. Candidates should be open to relocation within the region. Opportunities May Be Available Within The Following States Maine New Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York New Jersey Pennsylvania Delaware Maryland Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Florida Tennessee Mississippi Alabama" We need to preserve all substantive information. So include location, states list. About PMI U.S.: "Philip Morris International's U.S. businesses are working to advance a smoke-free future by providing better alternatives to legal-age adults who smoke. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, PMI U.S. employs more than 3,000 people nationwide, with manufacturing facilities in Aurora, Colorado; Owensboro, Kentucky; and Wilson, North Carolina. Learn more at www.uspmi.com." We can combine. Responsibilities (Your Day-to-Day): List: - Build relationships with retail partners and become a trusted business advisor. - Support sales growth and execution within your assigned territory. - Use sales and market data to identify opportunities and develop action plans. - Present business recommendations and fact-based insights to customers. - Execute merchandising, promotional, and visibility initiatives. - Monitor market trends, competitive activity, and consumer insights. - Ensure product availability, freshness, and in-store execution standards. - Manage territory administration, reporting, expenses, and point-of-sale materials. - Collaborate with commercial and marketing teams to support business goals. - Develop leadership, communication, and customer management skills through real-world experience. We need to put each as
  • . Requirements (Who We're Looking For): List: - Bachelor's degree required or expected prior to start date. - Recent graduates or early career professionals with up to two years of professional experience are encouraged to apply. - Interest in sales, business development, account management, consumer goods, retail operations, or commercial leadership. - Leadership experience through internships, campus organizations, athletics, military service, volunteer work, retail, hospitality, or other customer-facing roles. - Strong communication and relationship-building skills. - Demonstrated initiative, resilience, and problem-solving ability. - Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and make recommendations. - Ability to prioritize, manage multiple responsibilities, and work independently. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite. - Must reside within or be willing to relocate to the assigned territory. - Legally authorized to work in the United States. We could also include "What Will Make You Successful" as Skills or Qualities. Let's treat that as Skills. What Will Make You Successful: - A passion for learning and continuous improvement. - Confidence engaging with customers and building relationships. - Curiosity to understand business challenges and identify solutions. - Strong ownership mentality and willingness to take initiative. - Desire to build a long-term career within a growing organization. We could also include some of those under Skills. Thus we can have:

    Skills

    • ... list from What Will Make You Successful ...
    But we also have skills like communication, analytical, etc already in Requirements. Might be overlapping. To avoid duplication, we could combine all skill-like items into Skills section, and keep Requirements focused on education/experience/eligibility. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (includes education, experience, eligibility, leadership, skills) - Pay But we need to follow heading usage: we can use Requirements heading for all those. That would be a substantive section. Alternatively we could have Requirements and Skills separate but both substantive. Let's see if we can avoid thin sections: Requirements would be fairly long; Skills would be shorter but still substantive (5 items). That's okay. Thus we will have:

    About the role

    ... combined About The Opportunity and About PMI U.S. ...

    Responsibilities

      ... list ...

    Requirements

      ... list education/experience/eligibility/leadership etc ...

    Skills

      ... list What Will Make You Successful ...

    Pay

    $68,000 annual base salary

    We must not include Benefits or Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO statement, references to PMI, etc. We removed those. Check for duplicated lines: The posting includes "Opportunities May Be Available Within The Following States" list; we need to include that list as part of About the role. Should we format as a sentence or list? Could be a sentence: "Opportunities may be available within the following states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama." We'll keep as a sentence. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: The location: Eastern Region (U.S.) and that candidates will be hired into PMI U.S.'s Eastern Region and placed into a specific sales territory based on business needs; territory assignments typically located in or near major metropolitan markets; final placement details shared prior to start date; candidates should be open to relocation within the region. We'll include that. Now we need to ensure we don't include any application instructions: There's none besides maybe "Learn more at www.uspmi.com." That's not an instruction to apply; it's just a link. We'll keep it as part of About PMI U.S. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:
