IT Business Analyst - Product

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications?, Skills?, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections with real content. The posting includes: About Everspring (company description) but not "About the role". However we have description of role: "The Business Analyst will work on the product team...". That could be considered About the role. We'll create

About the role

with that prose. Responsibilities: list of bullet points. Requirements: includes Education, Professional Experience, Communication..., Organizational Skills, Teamwork..., Adaptability..., Analytical..., Technical Skills. Could be grouped under Requirements. We'll output as

• each bullet. Qualifications: maybe not separate; we can combine with Requirements. The instruction says use headings for sections like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only if content present. We have Skills listed under Technical Skills etc. Could create a Skills section. But we already have many skill bullets under Requirements. Might be better to have Requirements and Skills separate? The posting lumps them. To follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can keep Requirements as one section covering education, experience, skills, etc. No separate Skills. Benefits: present: "We offer benefits that include hybrid work arrangement, paid parental leave, medical, dental and vision insurance, FSA, HSA, employer-paid short-term and optional long-term disability, 401k with an employer match vested immediately, a generous PTO plan that accrues with tenure, professional development, tuition reimbursement program, discounted onsite gym, optional pet insurance and more!" So we can create Benefits section with
  • each benefit. Pay: present: "The base salary hiring range for this position is: $80,000 to $100.000." Note typo: $100.000 (should be $100,000). We'll preserve as given. So Pay section with

    . Schedule: present: "This position will report to the Vice President of Product Design and Development and is based in Chicago, IL offering a hybrid work environment with a minimum of 3 days required in the office weekly." That's schedule info. So Schedule section with

    . Also location: "Position Location: Illinois". Could be part of Schedule or separate? Not required heading. We'll incorporate location into Schedule paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO note, accommodation request, etc. Also remove duplicated "About Everspring" paragraph (appears twice). We'll keep only one instance maybe in About the role? Actually we have About Everspring description at start and later repeated. We'll include a brief About the company? Not required heading. Could include in About the role? But we already have role description. Might add a short paragraph about Everspring as part of About the role? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role section containing role description. The company description could be part of About the role or maybe we could add a separate About the company but not in list; better to incorporate into About the role. Thus About the role: combine the description: "Everspring is a leading provider of education technology and service solutions... The Business Analyst will work on the product team..." etc. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting: company description, role description, responsibilities list, requirements list, benefits list, pay range, schedule/hybrid info, location. We must not include EEO, accommodation request, etc. Let's extract sections: About Everspring description (first paragraph): "Everspring is a leading provider of education technology and service solutions. Our advanced technology, proven marketing approach, research-based instructional design services, and robust faculty support deliver outstanding outcomes for our university partners, powering their success online. Everspring’s Technology team is comprised of Engineering, Product Development, DevOps, Security and Quality Assurance professionals. The Technology team inspires, engages and empowers each other to create the next generation of educational technologies. This is a collaborative team whose works translate traditional education in innovative and compelling ways to enable our university partners." Then role description: "The Business Analyst will work on the product team and will collaborate with the business functions and technology teams to innovate and build our educational technology, applications and self-service products. This individual will assist in product management related activities including requirements gathering, writing acceptance criteria, story documentation, product research and support across multiple products and technologies. This position will report to the Vice President of Product Design and Development and is based in Chicago, IL offering a hybrid work environment with a minimum of 3 days required in the office weekly." We can combine.

We'll turn each bullet into

    . Might need to keep the subheadings (Education, Professional Experience, etc.) as part of list items? Could embed them as bold text inside li. But we must not invent headings. We'll just make each line a list item. Benefits list: after "We offer benefits that include": list items: - hybrid work arrangement - paid parental leave - medical, dental and vision insurance - FSA - HSA - employer-paid short-term and optional long-term disability - 401k with an employer match vested immediately - a generous PTO plan that accrues with tenure - professional development - tuition reimbursement program - discounted onsite gym - optional pet insurance - more! (maybe we keep "more!" as part of last item or separate? We'll include as "more!" as a list item.) Pay: "The base salary hiring range for this position is: $80,000 to $100.000." Schedule: "This position will report to the Vice President of Product Design and Development and is based in Chicago, IL offering a hybrid work environment with a minimum of 3 days required in the office weekly." Location: "Position Location: Illinois" maybe incorporate into schedule. We must not include duplicated lines: there is duplicate About Everspring paragraph later; we will ignore second occurrence. Now produce HTML fragment:
