Head of Communications, US
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. 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. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes purpose, role description, principal accountabilities (list), key attributes (list), benefits (some mention: competitive pay and benefits package, Wellness Hub, volunteerism policy, matching gift program, Employee Resource Groups). Also mention "Your final fixed pay offer will depend on the candidate..." That's about pay but not specific numbers; it's generic. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does mention competitive pay and benefits package, but not specifics. Is that enough to create a Benefits section? It says "We offer a competitive pay and benefits package including a robust Wellness Hub, all in a welcoming and inclusive work environment. You will be empowered to drive HSBC’s engagement with the communities we serve through an industry-leading volunteerism policy, and generous matching gift program. You’ll want to join our Employee Resource Groups as they play a central part in life at HSBC, including the development of our employees and networking inside and outside of HSBC."
Thus we have specific benefits: Wellness Hub, volunteerism policy, matching gift program, Employee Resource Groups. So we can create a Benefits section with those as list items.
Pay: The posting mentions "competitive pay" but no specifics; also "Your final fixed pay offer will depend on the candidate..." That's generic. According to instruction, we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them (specific). It does not give a number or range, just says competitive. Likely we should not create Pay section.
Schedule: Not mentioned.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities (principal accountabilities), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (key attributes maybe). Could combine Requirements and Qualifications and Skills into one? But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include only those with real content.
We have About the role: The initial paragraphs describing purpose, role holder responsibilities overview. That's substantive.
Responsibilities: The "Principal Accountabilities" list.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "Key Attributes" list could be considered skills/qualities. Could split into Requirements (maybe experience?) but not given. We could treat Key Attributes as Skills or Qualities. Perhaps we can put them under Skills. Or we could have Requirements (none) and Qualifications (none) and Skills (key attributes). But we must not create empty sections. So we should only include sections with real content. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Skills (or Qualifications). Since Key Attributes are more like skills/qualities, we can put them under Skills.
Benefits: list of specific benefits.
Thus output:

We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Need to include all details from the posting, but we can condense into prose and lists while preserving meaning. Must not omit any substantive info. Let's extract.
About the role: The posting starts: "In compliance with applicable laws, HSBC is committed to employing only those who are authorized to work in the US. HSBC may engage in immigration sponsorship for this position if needed. Our purpose – Opening up a world of opportunity – explains why we exist.

Also later: "As an HSBC employee, you will have access to tailored professional development opportunities to ensure you have the right skills for today and tomorrow." That's also a benefit/attribute but could be included in Benefits or Skills? It's a benefit: professional development opportunities. Could add to Benefits list.
Benefits list from posting:
- competitive pay and benefits package (but we avoid Pay section)
- robust Wellness Hub
- welcoming and inclusive work environment
- industry-leading volunteerism policy
- generous matching gift program
- Employee Resource Groups (play central part in life at HSBC, including development and networking)
- tailored professional development opportunities (as above)
- Also maybe "We value difference. We succeed together. We take responsibility. We get it done." That's fluff.
We should include specific benefits: Wellness Hub, volunteerism policy, matching gift program, Employee Resource Groups, professional development opportunities, welcoming and inclusive work environment.
We must not create Pay section.
