Global Benefits & Leaves Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have company description and job description. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we need to parse the posting. Content: Company Description: description of Vertex. Job Description: description of role. Core Responsibilities: list of responsibilities. Qualifications & Competencies: list of qualifications. Knowledge & Skills: list. Additional Information: includes compensation, benefits, PTO, learning program, etc. Also Salary Ranges: specific numbers. Time away matters: PTO. Lifetime of Learning: tuition reimbursement. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe combine company description + job description?), Responsibilities (core responsibilities), Requirements (maybe qualifications & competencies?), Qualifications (maybe knowledge & skills?), Skills (maybe knowledge & skills?), Benefits (benefits described), Pay (salary ranges), Schedule (maybe PTO? but schedule is about work hours; not present). We should not create Schedule unless posting states it. It doesn't mention schedule/hours, so omit. We need to avoid boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The "Notice To Third Party Agencies" is boilerplate legal; should be removed. Also "Additional Information" includes some boilerplate but also contains benefits and compensation details; we need to extract substantive info. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details exactly as given, but we can format into HTML. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

About the role

Company description + job description combined? Could separate into two paragraphs: company description and job overview.

But we need to preserve all substantive information. So we can include company description paragraph, then job description paragraph. Then

Responsibilities

with

• each responsibility. Then

  Qualifications

  maybe combine Qualifications & Competencies and Knowledge & Skills? But we have separate headings: Qualifications, Skills. The instruction list includes Qualifications and Skills as possible headings. We could put Qualifications & Competencies under

  Qualifications

  and Knowledge & Skills under

  Skills

  . That seems appropriate. Then

  Benefits

  with list of benefits: healthcare/dental options, company-paid Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, 401(k) plan with immediate matching and full vesting, Flexible Spending Accounts, Employee Assistance Program, suite of exclusive perks, tuition reimbursement (Lifetime of Learning), paid time off program (vacation, sick time, paid holidays). Also maybe mention "generous paid time off program". We'll include as list. Then

  Pay

  with salary ranges: two tiers. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must not include application instructions. We must not include boilerplate like "Notice To Third Party Agencies". Remove. Now let's extract exact text.

Also discretionary variable bonus program? That's part of compensation, not benefits. We'll include in Pay maybe. Pay section: salary ranges as given. Also mention base salary and discretionary variable bonus program? The instruction says include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state base salary and discretionary variable bonus program. So we can include that. But we need to avoid filler like "depending on your level". That's substantive. Thus Pay section:

  Total compensation includes a base salary and a discretionary variable bonus program, depending on your level.

  plus the salary ranges. We could combine into one

  or separate. Now Benefits section: list as
