We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Key parts:
- Intro: "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"
- Then "As Art Director, you will lead creative work spanning stakeholder engagement campaigns, brand storytelling, digital experiences, sustainability reporting, and pitch and agency deck design/layout, creating high-impact work from initial concept through final execution."
- Then "Why This Role Matters? ERM Marketing & Communications Agency exists to give organizations building a sustainable future a market advantage. This role offers the opportunity to blend world-class creative work with work that truly matters, alongside people who are as genuine as they are talented. You will help Fortune 500 companies communicate some of their most important environmental and social initiatives while partnering with multidisciplinary teams across a global organization."
- Then "What Your Impact Is: 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."
- Then "What You'll Bring:" then list of required and preferred qualifications.
- Then "Key Responsibilities:" list.
- Then "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)."
- Then "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."
- Then "Who We Are:" description.
- Then "Please submit your resume and brief cover letter..." etc (application instructions) - we must remove.
- Then EEO etc - remove.
Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine), Benefits, Pay. Schedule? The posting mentions remote within Eastern/Central time zones or hybrid, preference for three days in person near Knoxville office. That's schedule/location info. Could be Schedule section. We should include Schedule if we have specific content: remote/hybrid, time zones, three days in person near Knoxville. That's substantive.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range, so Pay section is valid.
Benefits: we have description.
Responsibilities: we have list.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: we have required and preferred lists. Could split into Requirements (required) and Skills (preferred) or combine. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include based on content. We have both required and preferred; we could make Requirements for required qualifications, Skills for preferred/experience. Or we could combine into Qualifications. But better to follow typical: Requirements (required), Skills (preferred). We'll include both.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.

We must not repeat job title as heading. So no Art Director
.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
About the role
... intro paragraphs ...
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
- ... ...
Skills
- ... ...
Benefits
...
Pay
...
Schedule
...
We must ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. About the role: combine first two paragraphs? Actually we have: "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 As Art Director, you will lead creative work spanning stakeholder engagement campaigns, brand storytelling, digital experiences, sustainability reporting, and pitch and agency deck design/layout, creating high-impact work from initial concept through final execution." We could split: first sentence is tagline, second sentence about seeking, third about location/hybrid, fourth about role duties. We'll keep as prose. Responsibilities: list under "Key Responsibilities:" bullet points. Let's extract each bullet: - Lead, mentor, and develop our graphic designers, creating an environment where people can do meaningful work and grow their capabilities and careers. - Provide clear expectations and feedback for projects and career development. - Consult with client teams and directly with clients on creative, engaging ways to leverage communications in the digital space. - Thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and scale ideas under tight timelines. - Balance workload across multiple projects in flight while understanding priorities and project parameters. - Own projects from early concept through final delivery, ensuring work is strategically aligned and flawlessly executed. - Work with leadership to develop sales opportunities specific to design, prepare estimates, and contribute to proposals. - Lead by example through hands-on design, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. - Build strong and trusted relationships internally and externally. - Research and report on design trends to the design team and broader company. - Assist in recruiting and onboarding efforts. - Present design work, answer questions, and provide strategic insight on client calls. - Aid the agency in setting and managing client design project schedules. - Oversee existing design rules and processes with the design team. That's the list. Requirements (required): from "What You'll Bring:" required items: - Bachelor’s degree in graphic design or equivalent experience. - 4-6+ years of professional graphic design experience. - 2+ years of leadership experience. - A seasoned design professional; agency experience preferred. - Strength in people leadership. - Exceptional portfolio showcasing digital, print, interactive, and branding work. - Superior understanding of design principles, typography, and page layout. - Extreme attention to detail and proven commitment to quality control. - Interest in working with a variety of creative professionals, including writers, strategists, and digital designers. - Strength in client communications and leading design-focused discussions. - Self-motivated, with personal initiative, a flexible attitude, and the ability to multitask and work with shifting deadlines. - Collaborative and generous with colleagues and invested in the team’s success as much as your own. - Open to input, feedback, and collaboration with colleagues, fellow creatives, and clients. - Able to work extended hours when necessary. - Conscientious with high attention to detail. - Versed in digital strategies and best practices while continuously looking for unexpected new ways to engage users. - Eager to expand and grow your skill set and experience as a creative professional. - Strong interpersonal skills, including diplomacy, tact, and assertiveness, as well as the ability to manage up and communicate effectively. - Ability to handle conflict and manage difficult conversations internally and externally. - Ability to work independently as well as part of a team and perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment. - Integrates Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEI&B) into leadership culture.

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."
Pay: paragraph about base pay $79,000 - $93,100, etc.
Schedule: location/hybrid info: "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". Also maybe mention remote/hybrid.
We should also include the earlier statement about remote/hybrid in About the role? But we already have schedule section. We could keep About the role brief without location, but we already used location in schedule. However About the role currently includes that sentence; we might duplicate. Better to keep About the role generic: "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. As Art Director, you will lead creative work spanning stakeholder engagement campaigns, brand storytelling, digital experiences, sustainability reporting, and pitch and agency deck design/layout, creating high-impact work from initial concept through final execution."
Then schedule section covers location/hybrid.
We must preserve all substantive info; we removed the location sentence from About the role but placed it in Schedule. That's fine as long as we keep it somewhere.
Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info like "Why This Role Matters?" and "What Your Impact Is:" Those are also substantive; we could incorporate them into About the role or maybe a separate section like "Impact". But headings list does not include Impact; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate "Why this role matters" but not in allowed headings. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, but we should prefer those headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should map content to those headings. "
