Editorial Researcher, CBS Sports Golazo Network (Freelance)
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:
- Intro: "#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in? We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture."
That's about the company, could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading is for description of role. The intro is more about company culture. Could be placed under "About the role" as prose.
- Then: "CBS Sports Golazo Network is seeking an Editorial Researcher to support coverage across its growing portfolio of soccer properties. Based in Stamford, CT, this role will combine research, editorial, and production responsibilities to support live match coverage, studio programming, news gathering, and original content initiatives. The ideal candidate possesses deep soccer knowledge, strong editorial instincts, excellent writing skills, and the ability to identify and develop compelling storylines in a fast-paced environment.

Nights, holidays and weekends are to be expected."
That's role description.
- Then: "The pay range is $24-28 per hour, equivalent to approximately $49,920 - 58,240 annually."
That's pay.
- Then "Responsibilities:" followed by bullet list (actually sentences separated by periods). We need to extract each bullet as list items.
List items:
1. Support editorial coverage across all CBS Sports Golazo Network soccer properties, including live matches, studio programming and digital platforms.
2. Monitor breaking news, social media, press conferences, and industry reporting to identify emerging storylines, trends, and developments across the global soccer landscape.

4. Write scripts, teasers, headlines, talking points, and other editorial content for studio shows, live events, and soccer news programming.
5. Collaborate with producers, talent, news editors, and fellow researchers to identify, prioritize, and develop compelling stories for coverage.

14. Help shape editorial priorities and coverage strategies by exercising strong news judgment and identifying stories that resonate with CBS Sports audiences.
15. Work collaboratively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment while maintaining a high standard of accuracy, creativity, and attention to detail.
- Then "Qualifications:" followed by list:

10. Familiarity with social media monitoring, news gathering, and real-time editorial decision-making.

- Then there is a paragraph about CBS Sports (description of division). That's more about the company; could be placed under "About the role" maybe as extra prose.
- Then "Additional Information Hiring Salary Range: $49920.0 - 58240.0. The hiring salary range for this position applies to New York City, California, Colorado, Washington state, and most other geographies. Starting pay for the successful applicant depends on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education."
That's more pay detail; we already have pay range. Could incorporate into Pay section.
- Then EEO boilerplate etc. Remove.
- Then "If you are a qualified individual with a disability..." etc. Remove.
- Then "Only messages left for this purpose will be returned." Remove.
Thus we need sections: About the role (company intro + role description maybe), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Pay (maybe also Schedule?), Benefits (none given), Skills (maybe we could extract skills from qualifications? But we should not create a Skills section unless posting actually states them. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we could treat qualifications as skills. However the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says we can use those headings, but we should only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" section, but we could combine skills into Qualifications or maybe we could create a Skills section if we can extract skill-like items. However we must not create a section with filler. The posting does have many skill-like items (knowledge of soccer, research experience, writing skills, etc.) but they are under Qualifications. It might be appropriate to keep Qualifications as is and not create a separate Skills section. The instruction says we can use those headings, but we should only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. Since there is no explicit "Skills" heading, we could omit Skills section. Similarly, Requirements maybe same as Qualifications? The posting has "Qualifications:" but not "Requirements". We could treat Qualifications as the requirements. But we have both Qualifications and Requirements headings in the list of possible headings. We should only include sections that have content. The posting has Qualifications; we could also include Requirements if we want to duplicate? Better to just have Qualifications. The posting does not have a separate Benefits section; we should not create Benefits unless posting actually states them. No benefits mentioned. So omit Benefits.
Pay: we have pay range. So include Pay section.
Schedule: posting mentions "Candidates must be available to work full-time hours in the Stamford, CT, office. Nights, holidays and weekends are to be expected." Also "Must be able to work nights, weekends and flexible hours." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role (company intro + role description), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule.
We need to use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
Thus:

We could combine the extra salary info.
Schedule
This is a full-time position based in Stamford, CT. Nights, holidays, and weekends are expected; flexible hours are required.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's capture the About the role content precisely.
