We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs about company, mission, etc. Should we include an "About the role" heading? The role description is after "Role Description". The intro before that is about company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Intro about company: could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" would be description of role. The role description is under "Role Description". So we can put that under

About the role

and include the paragraphs describing the role (reporting to SVP, People, etc). That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities: under "What You'll Do" bullet list. So

Responsibilities

with
  • items. - Requirements/Qualifications: under "What You'll Bring". That's qualifications. Could be

    Qualifications

    or Requirements. We'll use Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not separate; but we could embed in Qualifications. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have both "What You'll Bring" which includes experience, knowledge, skills. Could be Qualifications. - Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "Humanity is a cornerstone... Form Energy offers competitive salaries, stock options, and a holistic benefits package..." includes medical, dental, vision, parental leave, vacation. Also relocation assistance mentioned earlier. So we can have Benefits section. - Pay: there is "Compensation Range: $148,040 - $212,813". So we need Pay section. - Schedule: there is mention of hybrid role: "This role will require working from our Weirton, WV Somerville, MA location at least 3 days per week. The role requires travel to all locations. This is a hybrid role, which will require working onsite from one of our offices 4 days per week." That's contradictory but we need to include schedule info if present. So we can have Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodations, legal, etc. Remove those. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the intro company description? Possibly under About the role? Or maybe we could have an "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should stick to those. The intro about company could be placed under About the role? But About the role should be role description. However we could include a brief company overview as part of About the role? Might be okay. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we could put the company intro in a

    before any heading? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. It didn't forbid having a leading paragraph before headings. It said use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It didn't say we cannot have other elements outside headings. So we could have an introductory

    about the company, then headings. Thus structure:

    Intro about Form Energy mission, accolades, etc.

    About the role

    Role description paragraphs (reporting to SVP, People, etc).

    Responsibilities

    • ... each bullet from What You'll Do

    Qualifications

    • ... each bullet from What You'll Bring

    Benefits

    Benefits paragraph (including medical, dental, vision, parental leave, vacation, relocation assistance, stock options, competitive salaries).

    Pay

    Compensation Range: $148,040 - $212,813

    Schedule

    Hybrid role details: required onsite 4 days per week, at least 3 days per week at Weirton, WV Somerville, MA location, travel to all locations, relocation assistance available.

    We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove duplicated lines: there is mention of relocation assistance twice; we can keep once. We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we include details about location: Weirton, WV Somerville, MA location (maybe a typo but we keep). Also mention that role requires travel to all locations. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, accommodations, legal, scam warning, etc. Remove those paragraphs. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's write. First paragraph: combine the introductory paragraphs up to "Role Description". Actually the intro includes multiple paragraphs: "Are you ready to build America’s energy future? Form Energy is an American manufacturing and energy technology company.... We are assembling a team...". We'll include that as a single

    maybe with line breaks? We'll keep as one paragraph but could be long; it's okay. Then About the role: include the paragraph(s) under "Role Description": "This position, reporting to the SVP, People, is both a high-level strategic force...". Also includes "This role will require working from our Weirton, WV Somerville, MA location at least 3 days per week. The role requires travel to all locations. This is a hybrid role, which will require working onsite from one of our offices 4 days per week. Relocation assistance is available." Actually that part is schedule info; maybe we should move schedule details to Schedule section. But the role description paragraph includes that; we could keep it in About the role but then duplicate in Schedule. Better to split: keep role description about strategic force, building ER function, etc. Then schedule details go to Schedule section. So we need to parse. Role Description text before schedule: "This position, reporting to the SVP, People, is both a high-level strategic force and a hands-on operational leader, responsible for building and running Employee Relations as a new function at Form Energy. A successful individual in this role will define our ER strategy, frameworks, and infrastructure from the ground up, while personally carrying a significant, complex caseload from day one. This individual will be a player-coach: equally comfortable advising senior leaders on ER risk and precedent, and rolling up their sleeves to conduct sensitive investigations, coach managers through difficult conversations, and close out cases fairly and efficiently. They will be excited by the opportunity to build something durable in a fast-paced, evolving environment — creating the playbooks, policies, and systems that don't yet exist, while never losing sight of the people at the center of every case." Then after that there is schedule sentence: "This role will require working from our Weirton, WV Somerville, MA location at least 3 days per week. The role requires travel to all locations. This is a hybrid role, which will require working onsite from one of our offices 4 days per week. Relocation assistance is available." We'll put schedule details in Schedule section. Thus About the role paragraph ends before schedule. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from "What You'll Do". Need to capture each bullet: - Employee Relations Casework & Investigations: Own and manage a complex, high-volume caseload spanning the full spectrum of ER issues — including harassment, discrimination, misconduct, performance-related disputes, and interpersonal conflict. Conduct thorough, timely, and legally sound investigations, and drive cases to fair, well-documented resolution. - ER Function Build-Out: Design and stand up Form Energy's ER function from the ground up — including intake processes, investigation methodology, case management tooling, escalation pathways, and documentation standards. Establish the frameworks, templates, and playbooks that will scale with the organization. - Strategic Advisory: Serve as a trusted advisor and coach to senior leaders and People Partners on ER strategy, risk, and precedent. Translate case patterns and trends into proactive recommendations that reduce risk and improve the employee experience before issues escalate. - Manager Coaching & Enablement: Equip people managers with the skills, judgment, and confidence to identify and address ER issues early — through training, real-time coaching, and clear guidance on when and how to escalate. - Policy & Compliance: Develop, maintain, and continuously improve HR policies and practices to ensure fair, consistent application across the company and compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws. Partner with Legal on complex or high-risk matters. - Data-Driven Insights: Build the reporting infrastructure to track case trends, cycle times, and outcomes. Use ER data and analytics to identify systemic risks, inform policy decisions, and report on the health of the function to senior leadership. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with People Partners, Legal, EHS, and other People Team Centers of Excellence (COEs) — including Talent Acquisition and Total Rewards — to ensure ER guidance is embedded consistently across the employee lifecycle. We'll put each as

  • . Now Qualifications: list each bullet from "What You'll Bring": - 8+ years of progressive Employee Relations experience, including direct ownership of complex investigations and casework - Proven experience building or significantly scaling an ER function, program, or infrastructure from an early stage — a builder's mindset, with the ability to create new processes and tools from scratch - Deep knowledge of federal and [state] employment law, investigation methodology, and documentation standards - Strong judgment and discretion in handling sensitive, high-stakes situations with empathy and objectivity - Exceptional communication and influencing skills, with the ability to build trust and credibility with senior leaders while also connecting authentically with employees at every level - Demonstrated ability to balance strategic program-building with a high-volume, hands-on caseload simultaneously - Resilience and adaptability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment - Experience partnering cross-functionally with Legal, People Partners, and business leaders Note there is a typo "[state]" but we keep as is. Now Benefits: paragraph: "Humanity is a cornerstone of Form Energy’s culture, and we make sure our compensation and benefits reflect that. Form Energy offers competitive salaries, stock options, and a holistic benefits package to ensure all employees have what they need to thrive while working here. When it comes to you and your family’s health, we cover 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees - and 80% of healthcare premiums for dependents. This starts from day one. We also offer at least 12 weeks of paid leave for new parents (up to 20 weeks for birthing parents), and generous vacation policies to give employees time to recharge when needed. Relocation assistance is available." We should not duplicate relocation assistance; we already have it in Benefits. Also we mentioned earlier relocation assistance in schedule; we can keep only one mention. Since schedule section we might not need to repeat relocation assistance; we can omit from schedule. But schedule section currently includes relocation assistance; we could remove it from schedule to avoid duplication. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; we can mention relocation assistance in Benefits only. So schedule section will not include relocation assistance. Thus schedule section: "This role will require working from our Weirton, WV Somerville, MA location at least 3 days per week. The role requires travel to all locations. This is a hybrid role, which will require working onsite from one of our offices 4 days per week." Now Pay: "Compensation Range: $148,040 - $212,813" Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate: removed EEO, accommodations, legal, scam warning
