We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about Solenis (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role? The posting includes "Location: Based in International Falls, MN Solenis is seeking a driven and experienced Key Account Manager to oversee a large paper account in Minnesota. This role is ideal for a technical sales professional who thrives on building strong customer relationships, delivering value-added solutions, and driving business growth in industrial water treatment." That's about the role. - Then "What You'll Do" list of duties. - Then "What You'll Bring" list of qualifications/requirements. - Then "Perks" list of benefits. - Then later: "We understand that candidates will not meet every single desired qualification..." That's more encouragement, could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. - Then "At Solenis, we understand that our greatest asset is our people..." That's benefits again. - Then EEO boilerplate (remove). - Then compensation range: "The expected compensation range for this position is between $80,730.00 and $118,404.00 plus discretionary bonuses. The exact compensation may vary based on your skills, experience and other factors permitted by law." That's Pay. - No explicit Schedule. Thus sections: About the role (maybe include location and role description), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements/Qualifications (What You'll Bring + encouragement), Benefits (Perks + At Solenis...), Pay (compensation range). Possibly also Skills? Could combine Requirements and Skills. But we should follow instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include based on content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to include location? It's in About the role. Let's extract details: About the role prose: "Location: Based in International Falls, MN Solenis is seeking a driven and experienced Key Account Manager to oversee a large paper account in Minnesota. This role is ideal for a technical sales professional who thrives on building strong customer relationships, delivering value-added solutions, and driving business growth in industrial water treatment." We could also include company description? The intro about Solenis is company overview, not role. Might be considered "About the company" but not required heading. We could include it in About the role? Might be okay but not required. The instruction: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include About the role heading and put the role description there. The company overview could be placed in a

    under About the role as well, but it's not about the role. However we can keep it as part of About the role? Might be okay but could be considered not strictly role. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we could put company overview in a separate

    before any heading? But we cannot add arbitrary headings not in list? The instruction says use those headings for sections; we could also have other headings? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to stick to those. We could put company overview in a

    under About the role as introductory context. That's okay. Now Responsibilities: list from "What You'll Do". Items: - Maintain regular communication with sales management to keep stakeholders informed on account activity - Complete weekly reporting and manage inventory to ensure visibility and accountability - Perform on-site testing to verify safety and effectiveness of treatment programs - Proactively address customer issues, collaborating with sales and customer teams to implement corrective actions - Analyze data to evaluate program performance and drive continuous improvement decisions - Partner with plant/process owners to lead and implement ongoing process improvements in a manufacturing environment We'll put each as

  • . Now Requirements/Qualifications: from "What You'll Bring" plus encouragement. What You'll Bring list: - Bachelor’s degree in a science, engineering, or other technical discipline. Equivalent experience may be considered, including 10+ years of relevant manufacturing or equipment experience. - Ideal candidate would have documented sales success in the paper industry, along with strong background in pulp and paper industry. - Ability to solve complex and non-routine technical problems. - Strong customer relationship and stakeholder management skills. - Knowledge of industrial processes and customer operations, or the ability to quickly learn industry-specific applications and technologies. - Results-driven mindset with a proactive approach to problem-solving. - Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. - Valid driver’s license with a satisfactory driving record. - Must reside within approximately 45 minutes of International Falls, MN - Experience with laboratory testing, pumps, pipefitting, and electrical systems preferred. - Willingness to participate in an on-call weekend rotation Then encouragement paragraph: "We understand that candidates will not meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we’ve identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we’d love to learn more about you." We can include that as a

    under Requirements. Now Benefits: from "Perks" plus later benefits paragraph. Perks list: - Ongoing professional development and career growth opportunities. - Competitive paid time off program, including vacation, sick leave, and floating holidays. - Competitive base salary, incentive compensation plan, and annual merit increases. - 401(k) plan with company matching contributions. - Relocation assistance available. - Company-provided vehicle, laptop, and mobile phone. Later benefits paragraph: "At Solenis, we understand that our greatest asset is our people. That is why we offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits which include medical, dental, vision & 401K, and numerous opportunities for professional growth and development. So, if you are interested in working for a world-class company and enjoy solving complex challenges, whether in the lab or the field, consider joining our team." We can combine: maybe keep list and then a

    for that paragraph. Now Pay: compensation range paragraph. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

    We should not include Schedule section. Check for any duplicated lines: we removed boilerplate. Check that we preserved all substantive info: company overview, location, role description, responsibilities list, requirements list, encouragement, benefits list, benefits paragraph, pay. We omitted the line "Solenis is a 2025 Best Managed Company Gold Standard honoree." That's substantive; should we include? It's part of company overview. We can include in company overview paragraph. Also "Headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, the company has 78 manufacturing facilities strategically located around the globe and employs a team of over ~23000 professionals in >160 countries across six continents." That's also substantive. Include. Also "For additional information about Solenis, please visit www.solenis.com or follow us on social media." That's maybe boilerplate? It's like a link; could be considered navigation? It's not essential to job; but it's substantive info about company. Might keep but it's like a call to action; could be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those; it's just a link to website. Might keep but it's not crucial. However it's not about the role; but we can include in About the role paragraph. We'll include it. Now ensure we didn't include any "Job ID / requisition numbers". None. Now output only HTML. Let's craft final HTML. Be careful to escape any special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:
