Manager, FP&A, Popeyes, US&C

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually job summary is there. We need sections: maybe "About the role" (job summary), "Responsibilities", "Requirements" (Skills & Experience), "Benefits". Also maybe "Pay" and "Schedule" only if present. The posting mentions RBI follows a 5-day, in-office work schedule; successful candidates expected to work onsite 5 days per week. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Pay not mentioned, so omit. Benefits section present: "Benefits at all of our global offices are focused on physical, mental and financial wellness. We offer unique and progressive benefits, including a comprehensive global paid parental leave program that supports employees as they expand their families, free telemedicine and mental wellness support." So include Benefits. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. Use

for headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to decide what goes into lists: Responsibilities list items from "Key Responsibilities". Skills & Experience list items from bullet-like sentences. Benefits list items maybe just one paragraph but could be list. We need to not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to include only sections with real content. Thus sections: About the role (maybe use "About the role" heading) containing job summary paragraph(s). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (or Skills & Experience) (list). Benefits (list). Schedule (maybe short paragraph). Could also include "Qualifications" but we have Skills & Experience covering qualifications. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content. Job Summary paragraph(s): "Ready to make your next big professional move? Join us on our journey to achieve our big dream of building the most loved restaurant brands in the world.

But the job summary includes schedule line; we could keep schedule in Schedule section and remove from summary. However we must preserve all substantive info; we can move schedule line to Schedule section and keep rest. Thus About the role section will contain everything up to before schedule line. Let's extract About the role prose: from "Ready to make your next big professional move?" up to before "RBI follows a 5-day, in-office work schedule...". Also include the Job Summary sentences. Let's copy: "Ready to make your next big professional move? Join us on our journey to achieve our big dream of building the most loved restaurant brands in the world.

Now Benefits: paragraph: "Benefits at all of our global offices are focused on physical, mental and financial wellness. We offer unique and progressive benefits, including a comprehensive global paid parental leave program that supports employees as they expand their families, free telemedicine and mental wellness support." We could make list items: maybe two items: comprehensive global paid parental leave program; free telemedicine and mental wellness support. But the instruction: use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can turn benefits into list. Thus Benefits section with
    • items. Now Schedule: we have schedule info: "RBI follows a 5-day, in-office work schedule to support collaboration. Successful candidates will be expected to work onsite 5 days per week." We can put as

      maybe. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Now produce HTML fragment with sections in order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Skills & Experience), Benefits, Schedule. Use

      for each heading. Inside each section, use

      for prose (if any) and

      • for lists. For About the role, we have prose; we can put as

        (maybe multiple paragraphs but we can combine into one

        with line breaks? Better to keep as single

        containing the text. Could split into multiple

        but not required. We'll output:
