We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About This Role" and "In This Role, You Will". We need to use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting: - Wells Fargo Corporate & Investment Banking description (intro). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About This Role" is a heading. We'll treat that as "About the role". Content: description of Wells Fargo CIB and Markets etc. Should be in
. - "In This Role, You Will" list of duties: bullet points. Should be under "Responsibilities" heading (
Responsibilities
) with- each duty.
- Required Qualifications: heading "Required Qualifications:" -> we can put under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have both Required and Desired qualifications. Could combine into "Qualifications" section with subpoints? But we need to preserve all info. Could have
Qualifications
then- for required and desired? Might be better to split: "Required Qualifications" and "Desired Qualifications" as separate headings? But only allowed headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could use "Qualifications" for both required and desired, with sub-bullets indicating required vs desired. Or we could use "Requirements" for required and "Qualifications" for desired. Let's decide: Use "Requirements" for Required Qualifications, and "Qualifications" for Desired Qualifications. That seems logical.
- Skills: The desired qualifications include many skill items: Advanced Microsoft Office, knowledge of financial statement analysis, accounting principles, investment tools, communication skills, teamwork, etc. Those could go under Skills heading. But we already used Qualifications for desired qualifications; maybe better to put skill items under Skills. Let's parse:
Desired Qualifications list:
- A BS/BA or higher
- Direct experience in the Life Science Tools and Diagnostics sector or prior equity research coverage of this industry
- Ability to work effectively in a team environment and across all organizational levels, where flexibility, collaboration, and adaptability are important
- Advanced Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint) skills
- Knowledge and understanding of financial statement analysis
- Knowledge and understanding of accounting principles in the capital markets industry
- Knowledge and understanding of investment tools such as Bloomberg or FactSet application
- Strong, clear and concise written and oral communication skills
We could split: Education (BS/BA) maybe under Qualifications, experience under Qualifications, teamwork under Skills, technical skills under Skills, etc. But to keep simple, we can have a "Qualifications" section containing both required and desired qualifications as bullet points, labeling them? But we must not invent headings like "Required" inside. Could just list all qualifications bullet points without labeling; but we might lose distinction. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep the text as is.
Maybe better: Use "Requirements" for Required Qualifications (2+ years of Securities Research experience, or equivalent). Use "Qualifications" for Desired Qualifications (the list). Use "Skills" for the skill-based items (Microsoft Office, financial statement analysis, accounting principles, investment tools, communication skills). But there is overlap.

About the role
: intro paragraph(s) about Wells Fargo CIB and Markets. -Responsibilities
: bullet list from "In This Role, You Will". -Requirements
: Required Qualifications bullet (2+ years of Securities Research experience, or equivalent demonstrated through ...). Could also include FINRA license requirement? That's under Job Expectations. Might be separate. -Qualifications
: Desired Qualifications list (BS/BA or higher, direct experience, teamwork ability). Could also include education. -Skills
: Advanced Microsoft Office skills, knowledge of financial statement analysis, accounting principles, investment tools (Bloomberg/FactSet), strong communication skills. -Pay
: Pay range $143,000 - $224,000. -Benefits
: list of benefits. -Schedule
: Not present; we should not create. - Also Job Expectations: Up to 10% travel, FINRA licensing requirements, background check, etc. This could be under a heading like "Requirements" or maybe "Job Expectations". Since not in allowed list, we could fold into Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction: "Usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not exclusive. But we should only use those headings when posting has real specific content. We could add a section "Job Expectations" but not in list; maybe better to incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. However the instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we can use those headings; not that we cannot use others, but better to stick to those. So we can incorporate travel and FINRA licensing under "Requirements" or maybe a new section "Requirements" already used for experience; we can add more bullets there. Thus: Requirements section bullets: - 2+ years of Securities Research experience, or equivalent demonstrated through work experience, training, military experience, education. - Up to 10% travel. - Obtaining and/or maintaining appropriate FINRA license(s) required; must complete FINRA SIE, Series 63, 86, 87 exams within 90/180 days following commencement; compliance with state law registration and licensing; specific product licenses or SAFE licensing may apply; meeting enhanced financial fitness and criminal background standards; background check prior to hire; ongoing regulatory obligations; compliance policies regarding outside activities/personal investing. We need to preserve all details; we can keep them as bullet points. Benefits: list as given. Pay: include the range. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove those. Also remove "Posting Locations: 125 High St. - Boston, Massachusetts 02110" maybe we can keep location? Not required to keep but it's substantive. Could be part of About the role? Might be better to include as a short paragraph under About the role? But location is not a heading; we could add a
after About the role: "Location: 125 High St., Boston, MA 02110". However the instruction says do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include in a short p. Also "Posting End Date: 23 Sep 2026" and "Job posting may come down early..." is metadata; we can drop or put in short p. Probably drop. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
