We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes overview, responsibilities (What You'll Do), Key Metrics, What You'll Bring (Qualifications/Requirements), Salary Information (Pay), What Funko Offers (Benefits), Work Environment (maybe schedule? but not schedule). We should not repeat job title. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Not present. Remove duplicated lines. Preserve all substantive info. Do not include sections with placeholder text. So we need sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Key Metrics, Qualifications (What You'll Bring), Pay (Salary Information), Benefits (What Funko Offers), Work Environment (maybe schedule? but it's environment). The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate ones. We have content for About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Key Metrics (maybe under Responsibilities or separate), Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Work Environment (maybe as Schedule? but schedule not present). We should not create Schedule if not present. So we omit Schedule. Also we might combine Requirements and Qualifications; but we have "What You'll Bring" which is qualifications. We'll use
Qualifications
. For Responsibilities we have "What You'll Do". For Key Metrics we can have its own heading maybe "Key Metrics". For Benefits we have "What Funko Offers". For Pay we have "Salary Information". For About the role we have the initial overview paragraph(s). Also we have Work Environment details; maybe we can include under a heading "Work Environment". The instruction didn't list Work Environment but said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The e.g. suggests those are examples but not exclusive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we have content that doesn't fit exactly: Overview could be About the role. Responsibilities is What You'll Do. Qualifications is What You'll Bring. Pay is Salary Information. Benefits is What Funko Offers. Key Metrics maybe could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications? Could be a separate section but not in list. Could embed under Responsibilities as a list. Work Environment maybe not needed; could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit Work Environment, we lose info. Could we incorporate Work Environment into Benefits? Not appropriate. Could we make a section "Work Environment" even though not in examples? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say you cannot use other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to include Work Environment as a heading; it's substantive. The instruction didn't forbid. We'll include it.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO paragraph, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Ensure no mention of cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

Overview paragraph: "Funko Overview Welcome to the Funko-verse, a world built on pure imagination, a land governed by the philosophy that stories matter, a universe comprised of characters from countless fandoms, a galaxy of once upon a times and happily ever afters. But what does Funko do? Funko is a purveyor of pop culture and licensed-focused collectibles company. Funko currently holds thousands of licenses and the rights to create tens of thousands of characters – one of the largest portfolios in the pop culture and collectibles industry. Funko’s Pop! Vinyl is the number one stylized vinyl collectible on the market, selling millions of figures to fans around the world. The Manager, Retail POS Insights & Analytics will turn POS, sell-through, inventory, and retail performance data into actionable business insights. This role will serve as a key partner to Product Planning, Sales, Demand Planning, Finance, Business Intelligence, and senior leadership. This manager level, individual contributor role, has the opportunity to help shape and grow a broader retail insights function over time. The ideal candidate is highly analytical, technically strong, commercially minded, and comfortable presenting insights to senior leaders, including SVPs and the CFO.

Use DAX, Power Query, and data modeling to improve reporting accuracy, scalability, and speed to insight. Monitor new product launches and provide early reads on performance versus forecast, plan, and historical benchmarks. Partner with Product Planning, Sales, Demand Planning, Finance, and BI to support assortment, inventory, and retail strategy decisions. Prepare executive-ready summaries and recommendations for senior leadership.

Leverage AI-assisted tools such as Codex, Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar platforms to support analysis, automation, and workflow efficiency. Help establish scalable reporting and insight processes that can support future team or function growth."
Key Metrics: "This role will work closely with metrics such as sell-through rate, sales velocity, weeks of supply, inventory on hand, forecast versus actuals, SKU productivity, account performance, category performance, new launch performance, replenishment opportunity, markdown risk, and product lifecycle performance."

Experience in retail analytics, sales analysis, business intelligence, merchandising analytics, category management, or a related field. Strong understanding of POS data, sell-through, inventory metrics, retail KPIs, and product lifecycle performance. Ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable business recommendations. Advanced Excel skills. Strong Power BI experience, including dashboard development, data modeling, visualization, and recurring business reporting.

Strong business acumen and the ability to connect retail performance trends to product, sales, inventory, and financial outcomes. Experience in consumer products, collectibles, toys, licensing, entertainment, retail, or wholesale environments preferred."
Pay: "Salary Information The base salary range for this position in the selected city is $105,000 - $130,500 annually. Compensation may vary outside of this range depending on a number of factors, including a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies and experience, and location. Base pay is one part of the Total Package that is provided to compensate and recognize employees for their work, and this role may be eligible for additional discretionary bonuses/incentives, and restricted stock units."
Benefits: "What Funko Offers Funko offers a competitive compensation package with full benefits and a 401(K) plan with matching contributions from the company. Most importantly, we offer a creative work environment with people who love pop culture just as much as you do. Can’t wait to gush about your latest binge? Neither can we! Looking for a place where your favorite pop culture t-shirt will receive the compliments it deserves? We know how you feel!"
Work Environment: "Work Environment The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate. While performing the duties of this Job, the employee is regularly required to sit; use hands to finger, handle, or feel and talk or hear. The employee is frequently required to reach with hands and arms. The employee is occasionally required to stand and walk. The employee must frequently lift and/or move up to 10 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds. This position will be based in Everett HQ, Burbank, CA, Minneapolis, MN, or Bentonville, Arkansas."
We need to format lists where appropriate. For responsibilities, we have multiple sentences; could be turned into - each duty. Similarly qualifications could be list. Benefits could be list? It's more prose. We'll convert responsibilities and qualifications into lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into list items each sentence.
