We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. We have title: Global Compensation Director. Then description about KBR, etc. Then "We Are the People Team" etc. Then "About The Role" heading. Then "About You" heading. Then "Key Responsibilities". Then "Basic Qualifications". Then "Functional Expertise & Leadership". Then location, additional compensation, benefits, etc. Then "Belong, Connect and Grow at KBR". Then EEO etc. Then job ID. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the EEO paragraph and job ID line. Also drop generic fluff like "We are KBR When you become part..." maybe keep as part of About the role? Actually that is generic company overview; we might keep as part of About the role? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company overview may be considered substantive? It's generic but maybe part of job description. However we need to decide which sections to output. We have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. - About the role: we have "About The Role" section with description. Also there is "We Are the People Team" preceding that; maybe that is also about role? But we can treat "About The Role" as the heading. - Responsibilities: we have "Key Responsibilities" with bullet list. - Requirements: we have "Basic Qualifications" (education & experience) and maybe "Functional Expertise & Leadership" could be considered Requirements or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to include. We have both Basic Qualifications and Functional Expertise & Leadership. Could combine into Requirements (or Qualifications). We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have a single "Requirements" section that includes both basic qualifications and functional expertise. Or we could have "Qualifications" for basic qualifications and "Skills" for functional expertise. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one "Requirements" section covering both. - Benefits: we have "Benefits:" paragraph describing benefits. Also "Additional Compensation:" paragraph about bonuses etc. That could be Pay section? Actually Pay section is for salary/compensation details. The posting mentions "Additional Compensation: KBR may offer bonuses, commissions, or other forms of compensation..." and "Benefits: KBR offers a selection of competitive lifestyle benefits which could include a 401K plan...". So we have both Pay and Benefits content. We should include Pay section for additional compensation details, and Benefits section for benefits. - Schedule: we have location and flexible working arrangements: "Location: The ideal candidate will be located in the Houston, TX or greater Washington D.C.-Baltimore area. While KBR strives to maintain a global, flexible, diverse, and sustainable work environment for our people, we currently offer flexible working arrangements, including hybrid, remote working, and virtual delivery..." This could be considered Schedule (or maybe not). The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does mention flexible working arrangements, hybrid, remote, virtual delivery. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft sections:

About the role

... content from About The Role and maybe We Are the People Team? We need to preserve all substantive information. The "We Are the People Team" paragraph describes the People Team; it's relevant to role context. Could include in About the role. Let's extract About The Role text: "Reporting to the Vice President, People Operations, the Director, Global Compensation leads the strategy, design, governance, and delivery of global compensation programs across a complex, multi-country environment. This role is accountable for building a globally consistent, market-competitive, and performance-driven compensation framework that supports business objectives, attracts and retains talent, and enhances employee experience. As the enterprise leader for compensation, you will partner closely with HR, Finance, Talent Acquisition, and business leadership to deliver scalable solutions across base pay, incentive programs, executive compensation, and job architecture. You will balance long-term strategy with operational excellence, ensuring strong governance, market competitiveness, and alignment with broader Total Rewards and business strategies." We also have preceding "We Are the People Team" paragraph: "We are strategic partners to the business, shaping the talent, culture, and capabilities that enable sustainable growth and high performance. We operate across global markets, partnering with leaders and teams to design practical, scalable solutions that enhance how work gets done and how people thrive. Through strong business insight, data-driven decision making, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we build talent programs that drive impact at every stage of the organization’s evolution." That seems like description of the People Team, which is relevant to the role. We'll include it in About the role. Thus About the role paragraph(s) combine both. Next, Responsibilities: we have "Key Responsibilities" with bullet points each starting with a bold heading? Actually the text: "Key Responsibilities Global Compensation Strategy & Design: Define and lead a comprehensive global compensation strategy, including base pay structures, short- and long-term incentive programs, and executive compensation. Ensure programs are competitive, aligned to business strategy, and support pay-for-performance principles.Job Architecture & Pay Structures: Develop and maintain global job architecture, salary structures, and grading frameworks to ensure internal equity, clarity, and scalability across regions and business units.Market Benchmarking & Competitive Positioning: Oversee market analysis and benchmarking activities to ensure compensation programs are competitive across global markets.

Partner with Finance on budget planning, cost analysis, and forecasting related to compensation programs.Operational Delivery & Cyclical Processes: Oversee key compensation cycles, including annual merit, bonus planning, salary reviews, and equity programs.

Partner with HRIS and People Analytics teams.Leadership & Team Development: Lead and develop a global compensation team, building capabilities, accountability, and alignment within the broader Total Rewards function." We need to turn each into

  • . The headings before colon could be part of the li text. We'll just make each sentence as li. Thus:
    • Global Compensation Strategy & Design: Define and lead a comprehensive global compensation strategy, including base pay structures, short- and long-term incentive programs, and executive compensation. Ensure programs are competitive, aligned to business strategy, and support pay-for-performance principles.
    • Job Architecture & Pay Structures: Develop and maintain global job architecture, salary structures, and grading frameworks to ensure internal equity, clarity, and scalability across regions and business units.
    • Market Benchmarking & Competitive Positioning: Oversee market analysis and benchmarking activities to ensure compensation programs are competitive across global markets. Define compensation positioning strategies aligned with business and talent objectives.
    • Incentive & Performance Alignment: Design and manage global incentive programs that align employee performance with business outcomes. Partner with leadership to ensure programs drive desired behaviors and results.
    • Vendor & Financial Management: Manage relationships with external compensation survey providers and consultants. Partner with Finance on budget planning, cost analysis, and forecasting related to compensation programs.
    • Operational Delivery & Cyclical Processes: Oversee key compensation cycles, including annual merit, bonus planning, salary reviews, and equity programs. Ensure accuracy, efficiency, and a strong employee and manager experience.
    • Stakeholder Partnership & Advisory: Act as a trusted advisor to HR and business leaders on compensation strategy, job evaluations, pay decisions, and organizational design. Support mergers, acquisitions, and organizational changes.
    • Governance, Compliance & Risk Management: Ensure compliance with all applicable global and local pay regulations, including pay equity, transparency, and reporting requirements. Establish strong governance and controls.
    • Compensation Data, Insights & Technology: Leverage data, analytics, and compensation systems to drive insights, support decision-making, and enhance program effectiveness. Partner with HRIS and People Analytics teams.
    • Leadership & Team Development: Lead and develop a global compensation team, building capabilities, accountability, and alignment within the broader Total Rewards function.
    Next, Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: We have Basic Qualifications and Functional Expertise & Leadership. Basic Qualifications text: "Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field required.15+ years of progressive experience in compensation or Total Rewards.Minimum 5+ years of people leadership experience, including managing teams in a global or regional capacity.Experience in a complex, multinational organization preferred." Functional Expertise & Leadership text: "Deep expertise in global compensation strategy, design, and delivery, including base pay, incentives, and executive compensation.Strong understanding of job architecture, market pricing, and pay equity principles.Demonstrated experience with compensation benchmarking and survey methodologies.Strong financial and analytical acumen, including modeling and cost analysis.Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs and drive global standardization.Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders.Experience working with HRIS and compensation management systems (e.g., Workday, SAP) and leveraging data to inform decisions." We could combine into a single Requirements section with two sub-sections? But we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could make Requirements for basic qualifications, and Skills for functional expertise. That seems appropriate. Thus:

    Requirements

    Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field required. 15+ years of progressive experience in compensation or Total Rewards. Minimum 5+ years of people leadership experience, including managing teams in a global or regional capacity. Experience in a complex, multinational organization preferred.

    We need to ensure we didn't miss any other substantive content like "Location" and "Additional Compensation" and "Benefits" and "Schedule". Location and flexible working arrangements: we can
