We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. 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.

Then compensation paragraph: "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." Also schedule: "You will adhere to a traditional daily schedule but will also enjoy flexibility with core hours." Also earlier: "Schedule: FULL_TIME" appears later but we should not include Job ID etc. We have schedule info: traditional daily schedule with flexibility core hours. Also "FULL_TIME" indicates full-time. Benefits: mention "information on benefits offered is here." Not specific details. Should we include Benefits section? The rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits: we have only a vague reference "information on benefits offered is here." That's not specific content. So we should NOT include Benefits section. Pay: we have specific pay range: $80,000 - $95,000 minimum full-time salary range. Also mention annual incentive program. That's specific enough. So include Pay section. Schedule: we have "You will adhere to a traditional daily schedule but will also enjoy flexibility with core hours." Also "FULL_TIME". That's specific enough. So include Schedule section. Now headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include: About the role (yes), Responsibilities (yes), Requirements? The posting has "QUALIFICATIONS" which could be considered Requirements. But we also have separate "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES" which could be Skills. The rules: Use headings exactly as given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: intro paragraph(s). - Responsibilities: the PRIMARY RESPONSIBLITIES list. - Requirements: maybe the "QUALIFICATIONS" section? But they also have a separate "QUALIFICATIONS" heading in the list. Actually the list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements are the mandatory qualifications (education, years experience). Qualifications could be preferred qualifications. But we have only one qualifications block. We could split: Requirements = Bachelor’s degree + 5+ years experience + 3+ years leading etc. Qualifications = preferred experience (high-stakes assessment, proficiency with MS Office, etc). However the posting also includes "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES" which could map to Skills heading. Thus: - Requirements: Bachelor’s degree, 5+ years experience, 3+ years leading, experience managing multiple complex deliverables, demonstrated ability to interpret/apply style guides etc. Those are mandatory. - Qualifications: Preferred experience with high-stakes assessment, educator licensure, certification exams, educational publishing, item banking systems; proficiency with MS Office, databases, CMS, proprietary platforms; strong written/verbal communication skills. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills, Abilities list. We must not invent content; we must preserve all substantive info. Splitting is okay as long as we don't lose info. We need to ensure we don't omit any bullet. Let's list all bullet points from QUALIFICATIONS: 1. Bachelor’s degree in English, education, publishing, communications, assessment, instructional content, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered. 2. Five or more years of experience in editorial, assessment, publishing, production, educational content, or related environment. 3. Three or more years of experience leading, supervising, mentoring, or coordinating the work of editors, technicians, production staff, or cross-functional project teams. 4. Experience managing multiple complex deliverables with competing timelines and quality requirements. 5. Demonstrated ability to interpret and apply style guides, client requirements, process documentation, and quality standards. 6. Experience with high-stakes assessment, educator licensure, certification exams, educational publishing, or item banking systems preferred. 7. Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and collaboration tools; experience with databases, content management systems, or proprietary publishing platforms preferred. 8. Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to provide clear direction, document decisions, and communicate risks or recommendations. We can decide which are Requirements (1-5) and Qualifications (6-8). That seems reasonable. Now Knowledge, Skills, Abilities bullets: 1. Knowledge of editorial standards, copyediting practices, proofreading conventions, production workflows, and quality control methods. 2. Knowledge of assessment development principles, teacher licensure or certification contexts, item banking, test production, and secure exam handling preferred. 3. Skill in leading teams, assigning work, balancing capacity, monitoring progress, and keeping projects on schedule. 4. Skill in analyzing work processes, identifying root causes of errors or delays, and implementing practical improvements. 5. Skill in communicating clearly with technical, editorial, content, and business stakeholders. 6. Ability to make sound decisions under deadline pressure while maintaining accuracy, consistency, and confidentiality. 7. Ability to coach staff through complex editorial or production questions and support consistent application of procedures. 8. Ability to navigate ambiguity, adjust priorities, and support change in a collaborative and professional manner. 9. Ability to use data, documentation, and team feedback to strengthen quality, efficiency, and accountability. Now Pay: we have "The minimum full-time salary range is between $80,000 - $95,000." Also "This position is eligible to participate in an annual incentive program". Also mention compensation influenced by factors. We'll include that. Schedule: "You will adhere to a traditional daily schedule but will also enjoy flexibility with core hours." Also "FULL_TIME". We'll include that. Now we need to output HTML fragment with sections using

for each heading, and
  • for lists,

    for prose. We must not include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove "Applications will be accepted through Friday, Oct 2, 2026." That's application instruction; remove. Also remove "Who we are:" etc. Also remove "Job: Learning Subject Matter Experts Job Family: ..." etc. Now produce HTML. Structure:
