Location Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. We have "About The Role" -> heading About the role. Then we have responsibilities list; we can put under Responsibilities
with - . Also we have Qualifications (Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications) -> heading Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can use Qualifications heading for both basic and preferred. Also we have Pay: "$100,000 - $135,000 a year". So we need a Pay section with that content. Benefits: not explicitly listed; there is no benefits description. So we should not include Benefits unless present. Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Benefits and Schedule.
We also need to include any other metadata like location? The posting mentions Stamford, CT. Could be included in About the role paragraph. We'll keep that.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, AI tools, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "About Zūm" maybe? The instruction: "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." The "About Zūm" is company description, not a heading per the list. Should we include it? It's not one of the allowed headings but could be part of About the role? Probably we can include a short paragraph about the company under About the role or maybe a separate section? The instruction says use headings only for those specific ones; we can still have
paragraphs outside headings. So we can keep a brief intro about Zum as a paragraph before the About the role heading? But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine company description into About the role section. However the "About The Role" heading is separate; we could put company description as a
before that heading. That seems fine.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about responsibilities, qualifications, pay, etc.
