Inside each section, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting.
Let's extract.
About the role: The paragraph after "About The Role": "Hearth & Home Technologies is seeking a strategic and results-driven Director, Finance to serve as the senior finance leader for our Fireplace Business Unit.

This position combines financial leadership, strategic planning, business partnership, and team leadership in a highly visible and advisory-level role with direct impact on long-term business success."
We should keep that as prose.
Responsibilities: list of bullet points under "Key Responsibilities". Let's capture each sentence as a list item.
List:
- Serve as the strategic advisor to the business unit’s Senior Vice President and critical partner to the leadership team, providing actionable insights and guidance to support executive decision making

- The Company is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or other characteristics protected by law.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The last two paragraphs about accessibility and EEO are likely boilerplate; we should remove them. Also the sentence about website accessibility and contact info is likely boilerplate; remove. The EEO statement also boilerplate; remove. So we keep compensation and benefits details but remove the accessibility and EEO lines.
Thus Benefits section: we can include the comprehensive benefits package description: "Comprehensive benefits package In addition to your salary, this position may be eligible for a range of benefits (e.g., Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance, Health Savings Account, Disability Benefits, Life Insurance, Paid Time Off and Holidays, and Retirement Benefits). Hearth & Home Technologies benefits are subject to eligibility requirements."
But we might split Benefits and Pay: Pay section includes salary, bonus, profit-sharing, 401k match. Benefits section includes the comprehensive benefits package description.
Thus:
Pay:
- $145,000 - $181,000 base salary
- 20% target annual bonus opportunity
- Quarterly profit-sharing program (eligible after 1 year of employment)
- Generous 6% 401(k) company match

We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. The "Comprehensive benefits package" line appears; we keep.

We must not include any markdown code fences. Just raw HTML.
