We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about Tapestry, difference sparks brilliance etc. That's about company culture; could be part of "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading is for description of role. The intro is more about company. Could be placed under "About the role" as prose.
- Then: "Help shape how Coach speaks — from the voice of the CEO to the stories and experiences that bring the brand to life for employees around the world. As a key member of the Tapestry Global Communications team, the Manager, Communications for Coach is a high-access, hands-on employee communications role for a strategic storyteller who combines strong judgment with creative ambition. Working at the intersection of Coach and Tapestry, you’ll partner with senior leadership and teams across creative, external communications, social impact, regional and functional areas to uncover meaningful stories, turn business and brand strategy into compelling narratives, and create communications across written, visual, social, audio and live formats that inform, inspire and connect Coach employees around the world. We’re looking for someone who sees possibilities, brings a point of view and moves ideas from concept to impact. You’re energized by a blank page, comfortable challenging familiar approaches and excited to experiment with new ways to capture attention and build connection. You can move seamlessly from advising a senior executive to shaping a town hall to producing a video or social post. This role reports to the Director, Employee Communications and operates within a collaborative, global matrix where creativity, initiative and the ability to connect dots across the organization are essential."
That's responsibilities.

Then "Our Competencies for All Employees" list (Courage, Creativity, Customer Focus, Dealing with Ambiguity, Drive for Results, Interpersonal Savvy, Learning on the Fly). Then "Our Competencies for All People Managers" list (Strategic Agility, Developing Direct Reports and Others, Building Effective Teams). These could be considered Skills or Requirements? They are competencies; could be placed under Skills or Requirements. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay. Also maybe "About the role" could be the intro paragraph about Tapestry and role purpose. We'll include About the role as prose summarizing the role's purpose (the first paragraphs). We'll not repeat job title.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Pay: "Visit Tapestry, Inc. Base Pay Range $95,000.00-$110,000.00". So we have Pay section with that range.
Benefits: "Here are some of the benefits that we offer: Medical insurance, Dental insurance, Vision insurance, 401 (K), Paid Paternity and Maternity leave, Commuter Benefits, Disability insurance and Tuition assistance. Please click here for a complete list of U.S Corporate Compensation & Benefits." So Benefits section with list.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So we omit Schedule section.
We also need to not include boilerplate like EEO, ADA, accommodation, etc. Remove those.
We need to preserve all substantive info. That includes the company culture intro, the responsibilities bullet list, the qualifications/experience list, the competencies lists (maybe under Skills). Also the "Our Competencies for All Employees" and "For People Managers" could be placed under Skills or maybe a separate section "Competencies". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put competencies under Skills. Or we could split: Requirements for experience/education, Skills for abilities/competencies. We'll decide.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Manager, Communications for Coach.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft:
About the role
... (intro paragraph about Tapestry and role purpose). We'll combine the first paragraph(s) up to "This role reports to the Director, Employee Communications..." maybe as About the role.
Then
Responsibilities
with each responsibility item. Need to capture the bullet list under "The successful individual will leverage their proficiency in Communications to…" and sub-items. We'll flatten into list items.
We need to preserve all details; we can keep sub-bullets as separate list items but maintain meaning.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Own the Coach employee communications strategy and editorial roadmap
- Develop and drive an integrated communications approach that brings Coach’s strategy, creative vision, and culture to life for employees around the world.
- Build relationships across the brand to uncover compelling stories and turn complex ideas into clear, engaging narratives.

We'll make each top-level bullet as - . Sub-bullets could be nested
- but spec says use
- for any list; nesting is okay. We'll do nested.
Now Requirements/Qualifications: We have experience/education list under "An outstanding professional will have…" That's qualifications. Also we have "The accomplished individual will possess…" which are skills/attributes. We'll split: Requirements = experience/education; Skills = competencies and personal attributes.
