We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: "The Manager, Content Developer leads a team of editors responsible for supporting the development, production, quality control, and publication of assessment exams in the United States. This role provides day-to-day people leadership, workload planning, process oversight, and cross-functional coordination to ensure assessment materials are accurate, secure, standards-aligned, and delivered on schedule. The manager collaborates with content development, psychometrics, assessment services, publishing, technology, and client-facing teams to resolve issues, improve workflows, and maintain high standards for editorial quality, production accuracy, and operational excellence.You will be expected to manage a workstream of overlapping projects and to complete tasks accurately and on time. We will help you achieve your goals by equipping you with training, resources, and a team approach to work prioritization and problem-solving. You will adhere to a traditional daily schedule but will also enjoy flexibility with core hours.This role aligns to industry level title such as Editorial Services Manager." That's about the role. Then "PRIMARY RESPONSIBLITIES:" list. Then "QUALIFICATIONS:" list. Then "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES:" list. Then "Compensation at Pearson is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific location. As required by the California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York State, New York City, Vermont, Washington State, and Washington DC laws, the pay range for this position is as follows:The minimum full-time salary range is between $80,000 - $95,000.This position is eligible to participate in an annual incentive program, and information on benefits offered is here." Then "Applications will be accepted through Friday, Oct 2, 2026. This window may be extended depending on business needs." That's application instruction, should be removed. Then "Who we are:At Pearson, our purpose is simple: to help people realize the life they imagine through learning. We believe that every learning opportunity is a chance for a personal breakthrough. We are the world's lifelong learning company. For us, learning isn't just what we do. It's who we are. To learn more: We are Pearson." That's boilerplate? It's company description; maybe we can keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Who we are" is not explicitly listed but could be considered boilerplate. Usually they'd want to remove generic marketing fluff. Safer to remove it. Then "Pearson is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a member of E-Verify..." That's EEO boilerplate, remove. Then "If you are an individual with a disability..." accommodation request, remove. Then "Job: Learning Subject Matter Experts Job Family: LEARNING&CONTENT_DEVELOPMENT Organization: Assessment & Qualifications Schedule: FULL_TIME Workplace Type: Req ID: 26046" - these are metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with schedule FULL_TIME maybe? But schedule is a section we might include if we have schedule info. The posting says "You will adhere to a traditional daily schedule but will also enjoy flexibility with core hours." That's schedule info. Also metadata says Schedule: FULL_TIME. So we have schedule info: traditional daily schedule with flexibility core hours. So we should include a Schedule section with that info. Benefits: The posting mentions "information on benefits offered is here." No actual benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay: we have pay range $80,000 - $95,000 and mention annual incentive program. So we can include Pay section with that. Now sections: About the role (maybe we call it About the role). Responsibilities. Qualifications. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities could be Skills section. Or we could combine Qualifications and Skills? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have Qualifications and Skills separate. The posting has "QUALIFICATIONS:" and "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES:" which maps to Skills. So we will have Qualifications and Skills sections. Requirements: Not explicitly separate; qualifications cover requirements. Could we create Requirements section? The posting does not have a separate "Requirements" heading; but we could treat Qualifications as requirements. However we should only include a section when posting has real specific content for it. Since there is no explicit "Requirements" heading, we might not create a Requirements section. But we could incorporate requirements into Qualifications. The instruction list includes Requirements as an example but not mandatory. So we skip Requirements. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to format:

for each section heading. Then content: use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract About the role prose: The first paragraph(s) up to before PRIMARY RESPONSIBLITIES. Let's capture: "The Manager, Content Developer leads a team of editors responsible for supporting the development, production, quality control, and publication of assessment exams in the United States. This role provides day-to-day people leadership, workload planning, process oversight, and cross-functional coordination to ensure assessment materials are accurate, secure, standards-aligned, and delivered on schedule. The manager collaborates with content development, psychometrics, assessment services, publishing, technology, and client-facing teams to resolve issues, improve workflows, and maintain high standards for editorial quality, production accuracy, and operational excellence. You will be expected to manage a workstream of overlapping projects and to complete tasks accurately and on time. We will help you achieve your goals by equipping you with training, resources, and a team approach to work prioritization and problem-solving. You will adhere to a traditional daily schedule but will also enjoy flexibility with core hours. This role aligns to industry level title such as Editorial Services Manager." Make sure to keep sentences. Now Responsibilities: list after "PRIMARY RESPONSIBLITIES:" (note typo). Items: - Manage, coach, and develop a team of editors including work assignments, performance feedback, onboarding, training, and professional development. - Oversee editorial and production workflows for teacher assessment exams, study guides, practice materials, item banks, and related deliverables. - Plan team capacity, prioritize competing deliverables, and monitor schedules to ensure accurate, timely completion of work across multiple programs and projects. - Ensure editorial and production work follows applicable client requirements, style guides, accessibility expectations, quality standards, and security protocols. - Partner with content developers, assessment specialists, psychometricians, project managers, publishing teams, and client-facing groups to clarify requirements and resolve questions or blockers. - Review project status, identify risks, escalate issues when appropriate, and implement mitigation plans to protect schedules and deliverable quality. - Support quality control activities, including proofreading, copyediting, metadata review, item accounting checks, formatting validation, and final production review. - Maintain and improve documented procedures, templates, tracking tools, and job logs to support consistency, efficiency, and knowledge transfer. - Analyze workflow data, recurring defects, and feedback to recommend process improvements and strengthen team performance. - Promote a collaborative, inclusive team culture focused on accuracy, accountability, continuous improvement, and service to educators and learners. We need to put each as

  • . Now Qualifications: after "QUALIFICATIONS:" list: - Bachelor’s degree in English, education, publishing, communications, assessment, instructional content, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered. - Five or more years of experience in editorial, assessment, publishing, production, educational content, or related environment. - Three or more years of experience leading, supervising, mentoring, or coordinating the work of editors, technicians, production staff, or cross-functional project teams. - Experience managing multiple complex deliverables with competing timelines and quality requirements. - Demonstrated ability to interpret and apply style guides, client requirements, process documentation, and quality standards. - Experience with high-stakes assessment, educator licensure, certification exams, educational publishing, or item banking systems preferred. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and collaboration tools; experience with databases, content management systems, or proprietary publishing platforms preferred. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to provide clear direction, document decisions, and communicate risks or recommendations. Make each as
  • . Now Skills (KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES): list: - Knowledge of editorial standards, copyediting practices, proofreading conventions, production workflows, and quality control methods. - Knowledge of assessment development principles, teacher licensure or certification contexts, item banking, test production, and secure exam handling preferred. - Skill in leading teams, assigning work, balancing capacity, monitoring progress, and keeping projects on schedule. - Skill in analyzing work processes, identifying root causes of errors or delays, and implementing practical improvements. - Skill in communicating clearly with technical, editorial, content, and business stakeholders. - Ability to make sound decisions under deadline pressure while maintaining accuracy, consistency, and confidentiality. - Ability to coach staff through complex editorial or production questions and support consistent application of procedures. - Ability to navigate ambiguity, adjust priorities, and support change in a collaborative and professional manner. - Ability to use data, documentation, and team feedback to strengthen quality, efficiency, and accountability. Make each as
  • . Now Pay: we have: "Compensation at Pearson is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific location. As required by the California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York State, New York City, Vermont, Washington State, and Washington DC laws, the pay range for this position is as follows:The minimum full-time salary range is between $80,000 - $95,000.This position is eligible to participate in an annual incentive program, and information on benefits offered is here." We need to preserve substantive info. So we can write a paragraph summarizing: Pay range $80,000 - $95,000, eligible for annual incentive program, compensation based on skill set, experience, location. Also mention that benefits info is available (but we don't list benefits). We could include that sentence about benefits offered is here as a reference but maybe we can keep as prose: "Information on benefits offered is available here." That's substantive? It's a link reference; we can keep. Thus Pay section:

    Compensation at Pearson is influenced by skill set, level of experience, and specific location. As required by state laws, the pay range for this position is $80,000–$95,000. This position is eligible to participate in an annual incentive program. Information on benefits offered is available here.

    Now Schedule: we have: "You will adhere to a traditional daily schedule but will also enjoy flexibility with core hours." Also metadata says Schedule: FULL_TIME. So we can combine: Full-time position with traditional daily schedule and flexibility with core hours. Thus Schedule section:

    This is a full-time role with a traditional daily schedule, offering flexibility with core hours.

    Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. Now output HTML fragment only. Let's craft:
