We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: The first paragraph: "Turn bold ideas into meaningful creative work that helps leading organizations communicate a more sustainable future. ERM is seeking a highly talented and detail-oriented Art Director with an impressive portfolio to join our growing global design team. This client-facing role may work remotely within the Eastern or Central time zones or in a hybrid model, with a preference for three days in person near our Knoxville office". That's about the role. - Why This Role Matters? Could be part of About the role or separate? But we need sections only if content. Could combine into About the role. - What Your Impact Is: description of responsibilities? Could go under Responsibilities. - What You'll Bring: qualifications/requirements. - Key Responsibilities: list. - Pay: "For the Managing Consultant, Art Director position, the anticipated annual base pay is $79,000 - $93,100 (USD). Actual pay will depend on factors such as education, experience, skills, location, performance, and business needs. In some cases, pay may fall outside this range. This role may be eligible for bonus pay subject to the sole discretion of ERM and its policies and procedures (casual and fixed term/flex force employees are not bonus eligible)." - Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off (vacation, sick, and floating holidays), parental leave, medical, dental, vision, life, disability, AD&D insurance, 401(k), and other applicable benefits to eligible employees." - Schedule: Not explicitly given besides remote/hybrid and preference for three days in person near Knoxville. That's schedule info: remote within Eastern/Central time zones, hybrid model, preference for three days in person near Knoxville office. So we can include Schedule section. - Skills: Could be extracted from "What You'll Bring" includes many skills. Could separate Skills section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading like "Art Director". Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must include all substantive info from posting. We need to be careful not to duplicate lines. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should cut out the EEO statement, "Please submit your resume and brief cover letter..." etc. Also "ERM does not accept recruiting agency resumes..." etc. Also "ERM is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer..." etc. Also "Thank you for your interest in ERM!" etc. Also remove "Who We Are:" paragraph? That is substantive about company but maybe not required? It's about the company; could be considered part of About the role? It's not directly about the role but could be considered background. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep the "Who We Are:" paragraph as it's substantive about the company. But where to place? Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "About ERM". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put company description under About the role as additional prose. We must not create sections like "About ERM" unless allowed. So we incorporate into About the role. Now we need to extract lists. From "What You'll Bring": many bullet-like sentences but not formatted as list. We need to turn them into

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the requirements into a list. Similarly, "Key Responsibilities:" is a list; we should make
      • . "Preferred" list also could be part of Requirements or Skills. We need to decide sections: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Skills (list), Benefits (list), Pay (prose), Schedule (prose). Could also have Qualifications but we can combine Requirements and Skills. We must not create empty sections. Let's gather content. About the role prose: "Turn bold ideas into meaningful creative work that helps leading organizations communicate a more sustainable future. ERM is seeking a highly talented and detail-oriented Art Director with an impressive portfolio to join our growing global design team. This client-facing role may work remotely within the Eastern or Central time zones or in a hybrid model, with a preference for three days in person near our Knoxville office." Add company description: "As the largest global pure play sustainability consultancy, we partner with the world’s leading organizations, creating innovative solutions to sustainability challenges and unlocking commercial opportunities that meet the needs of today while preserving opportunity for future generations.

Also earlier "What Your Impact Is:" includes: "As Art Director, you will work under the direction of the Creative Director and collaborate with other Art Directors, graphic designers, project managers, and consultants to lead design on client engagements from creative concept through execution. You will lead, mentor, and develop graphic designers; provide clear expectations and feedback; build trusted client relationships; and bring strategic creative thinking to digital, print, interactive, branding, and communications work." This overlaps with responsibilities but we should include all substantive info, not duplicate. We can merge but ensure we don't repeat same sentences. Could include as part of responsibilities list. We'll combine unique items.

We could split into Requirements (required) and Skills (preferred/technical). But we have allowed sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could put required qualifications under Requirements, and skills under Skills. Or combine. We need to avoid duplication: some items appear both required and preferred; we can keep them. Now Benefits: list from benefits paragraph: - paid time off (vacation, sick, and floating holidays) - parental leave - medical - dental - vision - life - disability - AD&D insurance - 401(k) - other applicable benefits to eligible employees We should make a list. Pay: prose as given. Schedule: prose: remote within Eastern or Central time zones, hybrid model, preference for three days in person near Knoxville office. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. We'll structure:

        We must ensure no empty sections. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Please submit your resume..." etc. Now craft the About the role prose. Combine first paragraph and company description. First paragraph: "Turn bold ideas into meaningful creative work that helps leading organizations communicate a more sustainable future.
