We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading with filler placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the job description and extract sections.
Company description: maybe "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" could be considered "About the role"? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, etc.). So we can have "About the role" heading for company description and job description summary.
We need to include Responsibilities: essential responsibilities list.
Qualifications: qualifications list.
Benefits: Additional Information includes benefits: "company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks." Also hybrid schedule info: "Hybrid: This position has been designated as hybrid, generally contributing from the office a minimum of three days per week." That's schedule info.
Pay: Salary range: "$90,000 - 110,000 (bonus eligible)". So we can have Pay section.
Schedule: maybe hybrid schedule.
We should not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation request, unsolicited assistance from search firms, etc. Also "Additional Information As part of our selection process..." maybe keep? It's about interview process; could be considered application instructions? Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove application instructions. That line about in-person interview could be considered part of selection process; maybe we keep? It's not exactly instructions to apply, but it's about process. Safer to remove? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The line about in-person interview is part of selection process, could be considered application instructions. I'd remove it.
Also "Additional Information" about hybrid and benefits we keep.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to output something like:
About the role
Company Description ... Job Description ...
But we need to keep the substantive content: company description and job description summary (the first paragraph). Let's extract:
Company Description VERSANT (Nasdaq: VSNT) is an industry-changing media and entertainment business and home to trusted brands that shape culture, inform audiences, and build lasting connections. It operates across four core markets: political news and opinion, business news and personal finance, golf, and sports and genre entertainment. These markets are served through a powerful portfolio of iconic and innovative brands, including CNBC, MS NOW, USA Network, Golf Channel, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, and Versant's sports division USA Sports, along with complementary digital assets including Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow and GolfPass.
Job Description The Manager, Corporate Governance will support Versant’s corporate governance, Board of Directors, legal entity management, public-company compliance, and shareholder-meeting activities.

The successful candidate is highly organized, exceptionally detail-oriented, collaborative, and comfortable managing a substantial volume of time-sensitive work across multiple priorities.
We can combine into a paragraph.
Then Responsibilities: list of essential responsibilities broken into two subcategories: Board and Corporate Governance Support; Legal Entity Management and Corporate Transactions; Public Company Compliance. Each has bullet points.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a
with - items for each responsibility. Could also have nested lists? Probably just flat list.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet point exactly as in text.
Let's extract bullet points:
From "Board and Corporate Governance Support":
- Support the Corporate Secretary and Corporate Affairs team on Board of Directors, committees, and general corporate governance matters, while helping promote consistent, efficient, and well-organized governance practices.
- Coordinate Board and committee meeting logistics, calendars, agendas, materials, approvals, and follow-up actions.
- Prepare, circulate, and maintain Board and committee materials, minutes, written consents, resolutions, secretary’s certificates, incumbency certificates, and related governance records.
- Coordinate annual director and officer questionnaires and Board evaluations; analyze responses and support related disclosure and governance processes.
- Assist with director appointments, elections, annual consents, dividend approvals, share repurchases, officer appointments, and other corporate actions.
- Support the planning and execution of the annual meeting of shareholders, including proxy-related materials and beneficial ownership tables.
From "Legal Entity Management and Corporate Transactions":
- Maintain the accuracy and completeness of the company-wide entity management system, minute books, organizational documents, and subsidiary records; identify opportunities to improve related processes, systems, and documentation workflows, including through the use of AI.
- Serve as a primary contact for internal requests for entity-related documentation and general corporate support.

From "Public Company Compliance":
- Assist with preparation, review, and filing of reports and materials with the SEC and Nasdaq, including Forms 3, 4, and 5.

- Support insider trading and related party compliance processes and related administration.
- Help identify practical opportunities to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of public-company compliance workflows through technology and appropriate AI-enabled tools.
Now Qualifications: list:
- Bachelor’s degree required.
- At least six (6) years of experience managing corporate governance and legal entity matters within the in-house legal department of a public company.
- Demonstrated experience supporting Boards of Directors, senior management, and public-company governance processes.
- Proficiency with SEC, corporate governance, entity management, disclosure, and business productivity systems and tools, including EDGAR Filer Management, Diligent Board, Diligent Entity Management, Workiva, Outlook, Word, and Asana.
- Exceptional attention to detail and a demonstrated ability to produce accurate, polished work in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong organizational and project-management skills, with the ability to manage a large volume of work, multiple competing priorities, and time-sensitive deadlines.
- Collaborative, responsive, and relationship-oriented, with the ability to work effectively across Legal, Finance, Tax, Treasury, Corporate Development, and other internal teams, as well as with external advisors.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Independent, resourceful self-starter with sound judgment, a strong work ethic, and the ability to follow through on complex projects.
- Demonstrated interest in continuous process improvement, technology adoption, and practical AI-enabled workflow enhancements.
Benefits: from Additional Information: "This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks."
Also maybe mention hybrid schedule: "Hybrid: This position has been designated as hybrid, generally contributing from the office a minimum of three days per week. Subject to change based on business need."
Pay: "Salary range: $90,000 - 110,000 (bonus eligible)"
Schedule: we could have a Schedule section with hybrid info.
We should not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Skills? But qualifications already cover skills. Could combine Skills into Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not doing that.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
