We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content.
From posting:
- There's a "Job Summary of the Manager, Operational Technology & Manufacturing Systems" which is like About the role. So we can have
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content.
From posting:
- There's a "Job Summary of the Manager, Operational Technology & Manufacturing Systems" which is like About the role. So we can have About the role
with paragraph(s) summarizing.
- There's "Requirements Of The Manager, Operational Technology & Manufacturing Systems". That's Requirements.
- There's "Responsibilities Of The Manager, Operational Technology & Manufacturing Systems". That's Responsibilities.
- There's "Benefits/Compensation" with details: eligible for annual bonus, list of benefits, salary range. So we can have Benefits and Pay sections.
- There's no explicit Schedule.
- There's no Qualifications separate from Requirements; but we could treat Requirements as qualifications. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include Requirements and Benefits and Pay. Possibly Skills not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting in the sections.
We need to remove boilerplate: equal opportunity, mission statement? Actually mission statement is part of "Axogen Mission and Business Purpose". That's substantive? It's about company mission; maybe we can include under About the role? But it's not directly about the role. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include mission statement somewhere. Could be part of About the role? But it's not about the role; maybe we can include a separate section like "Company Mission"? But allowed headings list does not include that. However we could embed it in About the role paragraph as prose. That's okay.
We also need to include "Why You’ll Love Working At Axogen" bullet list. That's benefits/culture. Could be part of Benefits section? But we already have Benefits section with list of benefits. The "Why You’ll Love Working At Axogen" includes: Friendly, open, and fun team culture..., Company-wide dedication..., Comprehensive, high-quality benefits package effective on date of hire, Educational assistance..., Matching 401(k)..., Paid holidays..., Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Referral incentive program. Some of these overlap with benefits list later. We need to preserve all info, not duplicate? We can combine but must not lose any detail. We can include them in Benefits section as part of prose or list.
We also have location: "Location 913 Industrial Park Dr, Vandalia, OH 45377". Should we include? It's substantive. Where to put? Could be in About the role paragraph.
We have "Company Statements" about AI usage etc. That's substantive; we need to preserve. Could be placed in a section like "Company Policies" but not in allowed headings. Could we put under About the role? Might be odd. Perhaps we can create a section "Company Policies" but not allowed headings list. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples, but we should prefer those headings. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can create other headings if needed? The examples are just examples; but they say "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings for sections; but we could also use other headings if needed? Safer to stick to those headings. We can place company statements under About the role or maybe under Benefits? Not ideal.
Maybe we can create a section "About the company" but not in list. However the instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." indicates those are examples, not exhaustive. So we could use other headings if appropriate. But they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine.
Thus we can have sections: About the role (includes job summary, location, mission, why you'll love working, company statements). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (list). Benefits (list of benefits + annual bonus + salary range). Pay (maybe separate? Actually salary range is pay; we could put under Pay). Benefits could be separate from Pay. The posting includes both benefits and salary range. So we can have Benefits section with list of benefits, and Pay section with salary range and annual bonus eligibility.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. So remove equal opportunity statement, mission? Actually mission is not boilerplate; it's substantive. Keep.
We must remove duplicated lines.
Now craft HTML.
We'll produce:

But we need to ensure we don't lose any specifics. Let's extract details: Job Summary paragraph: "The Manager, Operational Technology & Manufacturing Systems serves as the senior technology leader for Axogen's Ohio manufacturing facility, providing leadership for onsite technology personnel and acting as the primary liaison between plant leadership and Corporate IT. Reporting to the Senior Director of IT, this role oversees and coordinates Operational Technology, infrastructure, cybersecurity, manufacturing applications, vendors, and enterprise IT resources to ensure reliable operations, regulatory compliance, project execution, and operational excellence.

Axogen reserves the right to amend its policies from time to time in its sole discretion. As AI is becoming a common tool throughout the application process, we want to be clear about its appropriate use at Axogen. Using AI to support resume writing, research or interview preparation is perfectly acceptable, provided the content is accurate and genuinely represents your qualifications and skills. For other key parts of your interview process, however, it is important that the ideas, communication, and work you share reflect your own voice, experiences, and thinking. We ask that you participate in our live interviews and complete any assessments without AI assistance unless instructions explicitly indicate otherwise or a specific exception is discussed and approved in advance. This approach ensures fairness, celebrates your individuality, and allows your authentic perspective to shine. Behaviors that do not align with these guidelines may result in disqualification from the hiring process or termination of employment if later discovered. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to learning about the unique contributions only you can bring to Axogen. No agency solicitation. We kindly request that recruiting agencies, staffing firms, and third‑party vendors do not contact us regarding this posting. Unsolicited résumés will not be considered." We need to keep that but maybe we can trim the "No agency solicitation" part? It's substantive but maybe considered boilerplate? It's a request; it's part of posting. I'd keep.
