We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections present: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (intro), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications & Experience", "Skills & Competencies", "Additional Information", "Pay". Also "Benefits" not given; "Schedule" not given. We must not create sections with filler. So include only sections with real content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, privacy notices, etc. Also remove "EOE/Minorities/Females/Veterans/Disabled..." and California privacy notice, Horace Mann Privacy Policy. Also remove navigation/cookie etc (none present). Also remove "Periodic travel may be required."? That's substantive? It's part of Additional Information. Keep. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: Intro paragraph: "Horace Mann is seeking a strategic, highly collaborative Manager, Workplace Solutions Enablement, to help turn our Supplemental & Group priorities into action and measurable business results.In this role, you'll translate strategic direction into structured plans, lead complex initiatives across the business, and develop a team responsible for helping move priorities from concept through execution. You'll work at the intersection of Product, Distribution, Marketing, Operations, Technology, Compliance, Legal, Finance, and Customer Experience, bringing the right people together to solve challenges and advance business objectives.This is an opportunity for an experienced insurance professional who thrives in ambiguity, knows how to create structure around complex problems, and can independently move work forward while keeping leaders informed of the decisions, risks, and tradeoffs that matter most." That's prose; could be under "About the role". We'll use

    About the role

    then

    ... (maybe combine into one paragraph). Ensure we keep all sentences. Next: "Key Responsibilities" then bullet list items under subheadings: Strategy to Execution, Cross-Functional Initiative Leadership, People Leadership & Development, Business Solutions & Recommendations, Business Readiness & Enablement, Continuous Improvement. Each has multiple sentences. We could treat each as a subsection? But instructions: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So only top-level sections. Within Responsibilities we can use
    • for each duty. The subheadings could be part of li text. So we can have

      Responsibilities

      then
        with each responsibility as
      • . Need to preserve all detail; we can include the subheading text inside li. Thus list items: - Strategy to Execution: Translate Supplemental & Group strategic priorities into actionable plans, workstreams, deliverables, and enablement activities. Take broad or ambiguous strategic direction and determine the structure, resources, stakeholders, and next steps required to advance the work. Establish clear ownership, milestones, dependencies, and measures of success for key initiatives. Develop recommendations and proposed solutions within established strategic direction, escalating significant strategic decisions, investments, or business tradeoffs when appropriate. Provide leadership with clear visibility into progress, risks, decisions, and business outcomes. - Cross-Functional Initiative Leadership: Independently lead multiple complex initiatives spanning product, distribution, go-to-market, digital, operations, and integration. Partner across Product, Distribution, Marketing, Operations, Technology, Compliance, Legal, Finance, and other functions to drive alignment and remove barriers. Represent Worksite Development and Supplemental & Group business priorities in cross-functional discussions and initiatives. Influence stakeholders and drive progress without relying on direct reporting relationships. Create structure and accountability while remaining adaptable as business priorities, regulatory requirements, organizational needs, and market conditions evolve. - People Leadership & Development: Directly lead an initial team of two employees, with accountability for team performance, development, workload allocation, prioritization, and quality. Coach and develop team members while establishing clear expectations and accountability. Delegate effectively and align team resources to the highest-value business priorities. Foster an environment of collaboration, ownership, sound judgment, and continuous development. - Business Solutions & Recommendations: Develop recommendations using market, customer, distribution, competitive, operational, and performance insights. Maintain strong knowledge of Supplemental & Group products, distribution channels, operations, and business processes. Structure complex or undefined business challenges, synthesize information from multiple sources, and develop clear paths forward. Apply sound business judgment to determine which decisions can move forward independently and which require leadership escalation. - Business Readiness & Enablement: Support product commercialization, distribution enablement, go-to-market execution, and organizational readiness. Ensure business teams and partners have the plans, resources, processes, and information needed to successfully execute new initiatives. Identify dependencies, resource constraints, implementation risks, and operational impacts early enough to support effective decision-making. Develop scalable and repeatable ways of working that improve execution across future initiatives. - Continuous Improvement: Evaluate the effectiveness of implemented solutions and identify opportunities for refinement. Establish practical measures of success and use business results to inform future recommendations. Improve cross-functional processes and ways of working to strengthen efficiency, transparency, accountability, and execution. Next: "Qualifications & Experience" with Required and Preferred bullet lists. We'll have

        Qualifications & Experience

        . Inside we can have

        for intro? Actually there is a line "Required" then list. We'll treat Required as

        • items. Preferred as another
          • maybe under same section or separate? Could have two lists: Required and Preferred. We'll keep both. Required items: - Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant professional experience. - Insurance industry experience, including experience with individual Supplemental Insurance, Group Employee Benefits, or both. - Experience working across multiple components of the insurance value chain, such as Product, Distribution, Operations, Marketing, Administration, Technology, or Customer Experience. - Prior people leadership experience with responsibility for employee development, workload management, prioritization, and performance. - Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously with limited day-to-day supervision. - Proven ability to lead multiple complex, cross-functional initiatives and influence stakeholders without direct authority. - Demonstrated success operating in ambiguity, structuring complex business problems, determining next steps, and adapting as priorities change. - Strong business judgment with the ability to distinguish between decisions that can be advanced independently and those requiring leadership escalation. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to synthesize complex information into clear recommendations. - Excellent written, verbal, facilitation, and presentation skills. Preferred items: - Experience with product commercialization, distribution enablement, go-to-market execution, or business readiness. - Experience working with agents, brokers, third-party administrators (TPAs), enrollment organizations, or other employee-benefits distribution channels. - Experience supporting strategic initiatives within Supplemental, Worksite, Voluntary Benefits, or Group Insurance. Next: "Skills & Competencies" list. We'll have

            Skills & Competencies

            then
            • items. List: - Strategic thinking and business acumen - People leadership and talent development - Cross-functional influence and relationship management - Complex initiative management - Business problem solving and decision-making - Supplemental & Group insurance knowledge - Product commercialization and business readiness - Distribution and go-to-market enablement - Executive-level communication and presentation - Prioritization and resource management - Adaptability and comfort with ambiguity - Continuous improvement and operational execution Next: "Additional Information" paragraph: "Remote work environment.Periodic travel may be required.Role operates in a dynamic environment with multiple concurrent priorities and significant cross-functional interaction.Must be able to effectively lead employees and collaborate with stakeholders across geographically dispersed teams." We'll put

              Additional Information

              then

              with that content (maybe separate sentences). Ensure we keep all. Next: "Pay Range:$89,800.00 - $125,500.00 annually + bonus Salary is commensurate to experience, location, etc." We need Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does. So

              Pay

              then

              with that sentence. Note we should not include filler like "commensurate with experience" is okay because it's actual text. It's not placeholder like "not specified". So include. We must not include Benefits or Schedule sections because not present. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, privacy notices, etc. Also remove the founding story paragraph? That is additional info about company; is it substantive? It's not about the role but company background. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The company background is substantive? It's not about the role but maybe considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO. It's about the company. Might be considered extra but not prohibited. However typical job postings include that; but we might keep it? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company history is not those. So we could keep it under maybe "About Horace Mann" but we don't have a heading for that. Could add a section "About the Company"? Not in allowed headings list but we could still use

              About the Company

              ? The instruction says use

              for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list. It says "use

              for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use other headings as long as they are

              . Safer to stick to those examples; but we could include a section "About the Company" if we want to preserve that info. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The company background is thin; maybe we can incorporate into About the role? But it's not about the role. Could we drop it? It's not required to preserve? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company background is substantive info about the employer. If we drop it, we lose info. So we should keep it. We could add a section "About the Company" as

              . That seems reasonable. Alternatively we could append it to the end of About the role paragraph, but that would mix role description with company history; still preserves. Might be okay. Let's add a separate paragraph after the role intro before Responsibilities: a paragraph about Horace Mann founding etc. That keeps all info. Thus About the role section will contain two paragraphs: first the role description, second the company background. That preserves. Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Check for duplicates: none. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
