Managing Consultant, Art Director
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Please submit your resume..." etc. Also remove EEO statement. Also remove "Who We Are" maybe? That's substantive? It's about company description; maybe we can include as "About the role" or "About ERM"? The instruction: Use headings 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, why it matters, impact). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe required qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred?). Skills (maybe list of skills). Benefits (benefits package). Pay (salary range). Schedule (maybe remote/hybrid info). We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So include only if content present.
We need to extract content.
Let's parse the posting.
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.

Schedule/location: earlier: "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 "Who We Are" description could be considered "About the role" or separate "About ERM". But instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (maybe includes why role matters, impact). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe required qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred?). Skills (maybe list of skills). Benefits (benefits). Pay (salary). Schedule (remote/hybrid). We must not create sections with filler.
We need to decide what goes where. The posting has "What You'll Bring:" which includes required and preferred. We could split into Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred) or Skills. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. Could treat Requirements as required qualifications, Qualifications as preferred qualifications. Skills could be a separate list of technical skills (software, etc). But we have many items that are skills. Might be better to have Requirements (required), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (technical proficiencies). However we must not create sections with filler. We have content for each.
Let's extract required items as list for Requirements.
Preferred items as list for Qualifications.
Skills: maybe list of software proficiencies: Proficiency with Mac OS, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Microsoft Office; Knowledge of CSS and HTML; Experience with Slack, Teams, Monday.com; Experience with Workiva and InDesign integration; etc. But many of those are already in preferred. Could still create Skills section but risk duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes both required and preferred? But they said headings e.g. Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have Requirements (required), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (technical). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see if each has enough content.
Requirements (required) list is long (~15 items). Qualifications (preferred) list is also long (~20 items). Skills could be subset of those (software, technical). Might be thin but still substantive.
Alternatively we could have Requirements (required + preferred) and Skills (technical). But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we must use all; we can choose which to include. So we can include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Qualifications and Skills omitted if we incorporate into Requirements. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can put preferred qualifications under Requirements as well, labeling them as "Preferred". That's okay.
Thus sections: About the role (includes why role matters, impact, maybe location/hybrid). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (list of required and preferred). Benefits (list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (remote/hybrid info). Ensure we don't include filler.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use for each section heading. 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". Good.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions ("Please submit your resume..."), "Who We Are" maybe? That's not boilerplate but could be considered about company; but we might incorporate into About the role? The "Who We Are" is a description of ERM; could be part of About the role? But the instruction: About the role heading could include description of role and why it matters. The "Who We Are" is about company; maybe we can include in About the role as a brief description. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can include it as a paragraph under About the role.
But we must remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication: "Extreme attention to detail and proven commitment to quality control." appears also later "Conscientious with high attention to detail." Might be considered duplicate but we can keep both? Might be considered duplicated lines; we should remove duplicates. Let's identify duplicates:
- "Extreme attention to detail and proven commitment to quality control." appears in required list.
- Later "Conscientious with high attention to detail." is similar but not exact duplicate; still maybe considered duplicate? Safer to keep both as they are slightly different.
- "Strength in people
