We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
First paragraph: "At AlixPartners, we solve the most complex..." That's company description, maybe not needed? It's not a section heading. Could be part of About the role? Actually "About The Role" heading appears later. The initial paragraph is generic company overview; could be omitted? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company overview might be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO but it's generic marketing. Might be considered not substantive for the role? However it's part of the posting; but we could keep it under About the role? The heading "About The Role" appears later with content. The initial paragraph could be considered part of "About the role" as well. But we have a specific "About The Role" section later: "About The RoleWe are seeking a strategic, commercially oriented Business Intelligence Director..." So we should use that as the content for About the role heading.
Thus we will have:
About the role
... content from that paragraph ...
Then responsibilities: The "What You’ll Do" section with subheadings: Leadership and Team Development, Business Partnership and Strategic Advisory, Research, Market Intelligence, and Commercial Support, Innovation, AI, and Operational Excellence, Vendor, Subscription, and Research Spend Management, Additional responsibilities as identified. We need to output a list of duties using- . Should we keep subheadings? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So only those headings allowed. Within Responsibilities we should have a
- list. We can combine all duties into list items, maybe grouping? But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include the details as list items.
Thus under
Responsibilities
we put a- with each duty as
- . Could break down each bullet from the "What You’ll Do" sections.
