We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule as needed. Must include only sections with real specific content. No filler. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include instructions about video submission? The instructions about applying and sending video are application instructions; we must remove them. Also must remove referral program? That's part of responsibilities maybe. We need to preserve substantive info: role description, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. Let's parse. Job posting details: - Role: Financial Editor, own roughly 100 articles a day on briefs.co and daily Market Briefs newsletter, in-office in downtown Detroit. - Salary: $95,000 to $110,000 plus profit share after year one. - Profit share: typically $5,000 to $10,000 a quarter, no ceiling. - Benefits? Not explicitly listed besides profit share. Might mention "top of the market", "referral program, one experiment a week, reader score". Those are more responsibilities/benefits? Could be part of responsibilities. Benefits section only if posting actually states them. There's no explicit benefits like health insurance, 401k, etc. So maybe we omit Benefits section unless we infer from "top of the market on purpose" but that's not a benefit. So we may not include Benefits. - Schedule: in-office in downtown Detroit (implies full-time, likely standard business hours). Not explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". Not given. So we may omit Schedule unless explicit. - Responsibilities: many bullet-like paragraphs: own news site (~100 articles/day), own newsletter, voice across both, send times, deliverability, list health, unsubscribe rate, email platform migration, notice bounce, final word on how Briefs sounds, site, newsletter, voice pass for Briefs Pro reports and advertorials, ensure plain English, credible, easy to scroll, avoid bot-like writing, publish follow-ups when article spikes, capitalize on spikes, write and QC sponsor ad copy with partnerships team, own AI usage for research, drafting, checking, push further, know numbers weekly: corrections, reader score, ad click-through, unsubscribe rate, leads, own lead capture positioning, measured on leads, etc. - Requirements/Qualifications: You don't need to be a financial expert. Need to know markets well enough to catch a bad take, background in finance advantage. If not familiar with basic financial concepts like inflation, not role. Have run a daily publication. Three or more years writing or editing financial news, including at least one stretch where responsible for something going out on a schedule every single day. Use AI every day, honest about what it's good at. Can build repeatable workflow, spot AI-sounding prose. Fast and careful, volume does not scare you, write things down, deadlines, commitments, lessons learned, raise capacity problems before missed deadlines with specifics. Own your asset, obsessive, read five other outlets each morning, want to know why yours better/worse. Nice to have: Series 65 or similar credential (we will sponsor), published bylines at major finance outlet, GA4, Ahrefs, or HubSpot. - Skills: maybe implied: editing, financial news, AI tools, workflow building, attention to detail, metric-driven, etc. Could list as Skills section. - Benefits: profit share, maybe referral program? Not typical benefits. Could include "Profit share after year one" as part of Pay/Benefits. Since profit share is compensation, could be under Pay. We'll include Pay section with salary range and profit share details. - About Briefs Finance: mission, etc. Could be under About the role or maybe a separate section "About the company". Not in list of allowed headings but we could put under About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to those headings. About the role could include description of role and company mission. We'll put company overview there. We must not include application instructions (video submission, email link, etc). So we strip those paragraphs. Also remove duplicated lines, boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning. Not present. Now craft HTML. Structure:

About the role

...

Responsibilities

  • ...
  • ...

Requirements

    ...

Qualifications

    ...

Skills

    ...

Pay

...

We may omit Benefits and Schedule if no explicit content. Check if any content for Benefits: maybe "referral program, one experiment a week, reader score that moves from 8 out of 10 to 9.5" is more responsibility/benefit? Could be under Responsibilities. We'll not create Benefits. Now write concise but preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. That means we need to keep all details, but we can rephrase? Probably we can keep the same meaning but not omit any detail. That's tough: we need to keep all details from the posting (except boilerplate). That's a lot. We need to include everything: the role description, salary, profit share, responsibilities list, requirements, qualifications, nice-to-have, etc. We must not omit any detail. So we need to include all those points. We'll need to embed them in

or

  • as appropriate. Let's extract all substantive sentences. From posting: - "We are hiring a financial editor to own the roughly 100 articles a day on briefs.co and the daily Market Briefs newsletter, in-office in downtown Detroit, at $95,000 to $110,000 plus profit share after year one." - "We pay at the top of the market on purpose, because we want the person who takes this seat to stay in it, and we expect to hire near the top of that range." - "Profit share has typically paid between $5,000 and $10,000 a quarter, with no ceiling on it." - "Heads up before you apply." (maybe discard as it's intro to application instructions) - Then video submission instructions (remove). - "For most of history, serious investment research was for people who already had money. Briefs Finance is changing that. We built one of the top five financial podcasts and YouTube shows in the world, then we built the research and tools that let a regular person understand an investment in minutes, and we were among the first companies anywhere to plug that research straight into ChatGPT and Claude. Our news site and newsletter are the front door to all of it, and you set the standard for every word. We think this is some of the most exciting work happening in Detroit, and you would be running the voice of it." - "What you'll own" - "Do you love the markets? Do you love breaking news? Do you get a little obsessive about whether a story is actually good? If so, keep reading. This is the job for you." - "We're hiring a full-time Financial Editor to own everything we publish in writing. The news site first, the newsletter second, and the voice across both." - "If your last job was filing three stories a week and waiting for an editor to tell you what to fix, this isn't that. Here, you are the editor. You own the news site, roughly 100 articles a day on stocks, the economy, the Fed, earnings and crypto, live on briefs.co." - "You own Market Briefs, in front of hundreds of thousands of investors every weekday at 7:30 am ET with the audio live, every link working, and nothing broken, then made better every week." - "A referral program, one experiment a week, and a reader score that moves from 8 out of 10 to 9.5." - "You own newsletter operations too, send times, deliverability, list health, unsubscribe rate, and the email platform migration we are in the middle of." - "If a reader replies to the newsletter and gets a bounce, you are the one who notices." - "You are the final word on how Briefs sounds, on the site, in the newsletter, and on the voice pass for Briefs Pro reports and advertorials." - "We read like a story, not like a filing. Plain English, credible, easy to scroll. If it sounds like a bot wrote it, it doesn't ship." - "When one article takes off, you are already publishing the follow-ups before anyone asks. Capitalizing on a spike is the job, not a bonus." - "Market Briefs is sponsor supported, so you write and quality check sponsor ad copy with our partnerships team, making sure it fits the newsletter and that readers always know what is an ad." - "As for AI, you own how we use it to research, draft and check the work, and you keep pushing that further every month." - "We don't believe in AI slop, but we do believe in using the tools we have to make good things more efficient." - "You will know your numbers every week. Corrections. Reader score. Ad click-through. Unsubscribe rate. And leads, because everything we publish exists to turn readers into leads." - "Traffic first, leads follow. You own how lead capture is positioned in articles and in the newsletter, and you are measured on leads from both every month." - "Who you are" - "You don't need to be a financial expert. You do need to know the markets well enough to catch a bad take before it publishes, and a background in finance is a real advantage." - "If you are not familiar with basic financial concepts like inflation, this is not the role for you." - "You have run a daily publication. Three or more years writing or editing financial news, including at least one stretch where you were responsible for something going out on a schedule every single day." - "You use AI every day and you are honest about what it is good at. Claude, ChatGPT, whatever gets the job done." - "You can build a repeatable workflow, not just type a prompt. And you can spot AI-sounding prose from across the room, because our readers can." - "You are fast and you are careful, both at once. Volume does not scare you and it does not make you sloppy." - "You write things down. Deadlines, commitments, what you learned when something broke." - "You raise capacity problems before they become missed deadlines, with specifics." - "You own your asset. Nobody has to tell you the site should be good. When a story blows up, you are already on the follow-up before anyone asks. When something is not working, you say so and then fix it anyway." - "You are obsessive in the good way. The kind of editor who reads five other outlets every morning and wants to know exactly why yours is better or worse." - "Nice to have, but not required: A Series 65 or similar credential, which we will sponsor. Published bylines at a major finance outlet. GA4, Ahrefs, or HubSpot." - "About Briefs Finance" - "We are on a mission to help 1.3 billion people be better with money. We do it through a top-five financial podcast and YouTube show, a free daily newsletter called Market Briefs, a paid research and education platform called Briefs Pro, and AI-powered stock research tools." - "Learn more at https://www.briefs.co and on our social media pages." We need to preserve all that. We'll embed into sections. We must not repeat job title as heading.
