We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate etc. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". So we need to parse the posting.
We have sections:
- About CoreSite: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About CoreSite" is company description. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" maybe includes description of role? But we have "About CoreSite" which is about company. Could treat as "About the role"? Might be better to have "About the role" containing description of role? However we have a separate "Manager - Data Center Operations Role:" paragraph describing shift and responsibilities. That could be part of About the role. The "About CoreSite" could be considered company overview, maybe not needed as a section? But we need to preserve all substantive info. Could include it under "About the role" as a paragraph.
We have shift info: Swing Shift 2:00pm -10:00pm Monday - Friday. That's schedule. So we need a Schedule section with that info.
We have responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences under "Duties:" and also earlier paragraphs. We'll need to extract duties as list items.
We have Requirements: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities etc. Also Education/Experience etc. Also Physical Demands etc. Also Compensation (Pay). Also Benefits.
We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we have overlapping: Requirements includes Knowledge, Skills & Abilities; Skills separate; Qualifications maybe education/experience. We need to decide what to put where. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine similar content.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need actual content for each.
Let's identify substantive content:
- About CoreSite: description of company. Could be placed under "About the role" maybe as intro.
- Role description: Swing Shift 2:00pm -10:00pm Monday - Friday (schedule). Also mention that Manager - Data Center Operations must possess expert level knowledge and will be responsible for operational integrity etc. That's responsibilities.
- Responsibilities: many bullet points under "Duties:" plus earlier paragraphs about responsibilities (operational integrity, vendor management, project management, commissioning, MOP writing, operational efficiency, compliance, training instructor, budgeting, forecasting, procurement fulfillment, people manager, evaluations, coaching, regular team meetings, etc.)
- Requirements: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (list of knowledge areas), Skills (list of experience), Abilities (list), Education/Experience (Bachelor's degree, years experience, etc.), Physical Demands (list), Special requirements (willing to work outside normal hours, lift up to 50 lbs, etc.)
- Qualifications: maybe same as Education/Experience? Could treat Education/Experience as Qualifications.
- Skills: we have a separate Skills list (minimum 5-7 years experience installing/maintaining/troubleshooting large commercial... etc., experienced people manager, proven leadership skills, vendor management, project management, budgeting, forecasting, excellent communication, Suite). That's skills.
- Benefits: described in Benefits section: medical coverage day one, dental, vision, telemedicine, HSA/FSA, 401(k) with 5% match, bonus and equity, ESPP, PTO, holidays, floating holidays, volunteer time, parental leave, free parking/public transport, wellness reimbursement $800, wellness incentives $450, $100 monthly tech stipend, educational reimbursement up to $5,250 + LinkedIn Learning, charitable donation matching up to $5,000, financial coaching, student loan support, family planning, mental health, caregiving support, pet insurance, employee discounts, cash back offers.
- Pay: Compensation: base salary $123,750 to $135,500 annually, eligible for annual bonus and equity.
- Schedule: Swing Shift 2:00pm -10:00pm Monday - Friday.
We also have "Job Post Timeline: This position is expected to be open for applications for 30 days." That's metadata; we can drop or put in short p.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. At end there is "General Statements: Applicants must be currently authorized to work...". That's boilerplate; we should drop.
Now produce HTML.
We'll have sections:
