Market Research and Insights Analyst
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections with real specific content. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the job description.
First, there is a paragraph: "Job Description The Market Research and Insights Analyst for the Performance Coatings Group (PCG) supports research and strategy initiatives across multiple PCG divisions and global regions. This role helps accelerate growth by gathering primary and secondary data, analyzing findings, and translating insights into clear, compelling stories that inform business decisions. The analyst captures customer, prospect, and internal stakeholder perspectives to guide customer experience, growth, innovation, commercialization, and strategic planning. This role also designs and executes fit-for-purpose qualitative and quantitative research, integrates multiple evidence sources, and delivers decision-ready recommendations to business partners. The role is part of the PCG Insights Team, which serves as the Voice of Customer center of excellence within the Group’s Strategy and Marketing organization."
That's about the role. So we can have About the role
with that paragraph.
Then "Competencies & Skills Required:" list: Problem Solving & Critical Thinking, Consultative Mindset, Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methodologies, Data & Research Analysis / Analytics and Interpretation, Project Management, Strong Verbal and Written Communication Skills. That's skills. So Skills
with - ...
.
Then "Additional Details: This role is not remote/hybrid. This role will report Sherwin-Williams Cleveland Global Headquarters located at 1 Sherwin Way, Cleveland, OH 44115Job duties include contact with other employees and access confidential and proprietary information and/or other items of value, and such access may be supervised or unsupervised. The Company therefore has determined that a review of criminal history is necessary to protect the business and its operations and reputation and is necessary to protect the safety of the Company’s staff, employees, and business relationships."
That's additional details, not a specific section. Could be part of About the role or maybe Requirements? Not needed as separate heading. We'll incorporate into About the role maybe.
Then "Responsibilities" heading appears. Then list of responsibilities under subheadings: Voice of Customer Research, Qualitative Methodologies, Quantitative Methodologies, Connect customer evidence..., Projects can include..., Competitive Intelligence Projects, Strategy Projects, Market Analysis.
We need to output Responsibilities
and then maybe subheadings? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. those). Likely only those top-level sections. We can keep subheadings as
or ? But we should not create extra headings not listed. Could embed subheadings as Voice of Customer Research: ...
. That is okay.
Then "Qualifications" heading appears with Minimum Requirements and Preferred Qualifications. So Qualifications
with lists.
Then "About Us" section: corporate description. Not one of the allowed headings; could be omitted? It's not required. It's boilerplate-ish but contains purpose statement. Might be considered not needed. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Us is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered fluff. However it's substantive about company purpose. But not among allowed headings. Could we put it under About the role? Probably not. Better to omit as it's not required section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can omit About Us.
Then benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "At Sherwin-Williams, part of our mission is to help our employees and their families live healthier, save smarter and feel better. This starts with a wide range of world-class benefits designed for you. From retirement to health care, from total well-being to your daily commute—it matters to us. A general description of benefits offered can be found at http://www.myswbenefits.com/ . Click on “Candidates” to view benefit offerings that you may be eligible for if you are hired as a Sherwin-Williams employee."
That's benefits info. So we can have Benefits
with that paragraph.
Compensation: there is a paragraph about compensation decisions, wage range, etc. That's Pay. So Pay
with that paragraph.
Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Schedule.
Requirements: maybe we have Minimum Requirements under Qualifications. The instruction includes Requirements as a possible heading separate from Qualifications. But we have Qualifications heading already. Could we split? The posting has "Minimum Requirements:" and "Preferred Qualifications:" under Qualifications. So we can treat that as Qualifications section. Requirements could be omitted or we could treat Minimum Requirements as Requirements and Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. The posting has both minimum requirements and preferred qualifications. So we could have Requirements
for minimum requirements, and Qualifications
for preferred qualifications. However the instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use both Requirements and Qualifications.
Thus we need to split: Requirements: Minimum Requirements list. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list.
Check if there is any other content for Requirements besides the list. The Minimum Requirements list includes many items. We'll output as .
Now Skills we already have.
Now Responsibilities we have.
Now About the role we have.
Now Benefits we have.
Now Pay we have.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes EEO statement at end: "Sherwin-Williams is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer..." etc. That's boilerplate; remove.
Also remove "Qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered..." etc. That's also EEO/legal; remove.
Also remove "Please be aware, Sherwin-Williams recruiting team members will never request a candidate to provide a payment..." etc. Remove.
Also remove "As a VEVRAA Federal Contractor..." etc. Remove.
Also remove "The Company reserves the right to modify this information at any time..." maybe considered legal; but it's about compensation info. Might be considered part of Pay section? It's a disclaimer. Could be considered boilerplate; but it's about compensation decisions. Might be okay to keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is legal disclaimer; better to remove.
Also remove "The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential..." etc. That's also legal; remove.
Thus Pay section should contain only substantive info about compensation decisions: "Compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case and will impact where actual compensation may fall within the stated wage range. The wage range listed for this role takes into account the wide range of factors considered in making compensation decisions including skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs." That's the substantive part. We'll keep that.
Now Benefits: we have paragraph about benefits and link. Keep.
Now check for duplicated lines: there may be duplicated sentences; we need to ensure not duplicate.
Now produce HTML fragment.
Structure:
About the role
... (combined paragraph about role plus maybe additional details? We'll include the additional details about location and criminal history check as part of About the role? Might be better to keep as separate paragraph but still under About the role. We'll include it.
Thus About the role paragraph: The Market Research and Insights Analyst ... (first paragraph). Then maybe second sentence: "This role is not remote/hybrid. This role will report Sherwin-Williams Cleveland Global Headquarters located at 1 Sherwin Way, Cleveland, OH 44115." Then maybe third: "Job duties include contact with other employees and access confidential and proprietary information and/or other items of value, and such access may be supervised or unsupervised. The Company therefore has determined that a review of criminal history is necessary to protect the business and its operations and reputation and is necessary to protect the safety of the Company’s staff, employees, and business relationships." We'll combine into one or multiple
tags. Use
for prose; we can have multiple
under same heading.
Now Skills:
Skills
- Problem Solving & Critical Thinking
... etc.
Now Responsibilities: Responsibilities
then we need to list responsibilities. Could break into subheadings as Voice of Customer Research: ...
etc. We'll keep each as with bold lead.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet.
Let's extract responsibilities sections:
- Voice of Customer Research: Partner with business stakeholders to clarify the decision to be made, identify knowledge gaps, define learning objectives, and recommend the appropriate VoC approach. Lead or support primary end-to-end VoC engagements (quantitative and/or qualitative), from research scoping and participant strategy through fieldwork, analysis, synthesis, activation, and stakeholder readout.
- Qualitative Methodologies: Design and moderate in-depth interviews, focus groups, contextual inquiry, observational research, concept discussions, and other exploratory methods, in person or virtually. Develop neutral, non-leading discussion guides and probing strategies aligned to research objectives and respondent roles. Analyze qualitative data systematically through coding, theme development, pattern comparison, and segmentation by audience, market, customer type, or role when supported by the evidence. Use verbatim feedback responsibly to illustrate findings while preserving context, confidentiality, and appropriate limitations.
- Quantitative Methodologies: Design and program structured surveys using sound questionnaire design, including unbiased wording, logical flow, appropriate scales, and clear response options. Partner on sampling plans and fieldwork execution; monitor data quality, response patterns, and respondent composition. Clean, analyze, and interpret quantitative data using statistical methods appropriate to the business question and data. Integrate survey findings with qualitative and secondary evidence to provide a complete, balanced view of the customer and avoid overstatement. Create clear data visualizations and executive-ready narratives that distinguish evidence, interpretation, limitations, and recommended action. Connect customer evidence to business implications, identifying needs, pain points, value drivers, moments that matter, unmet needs, and opportunities for action. Projects can include any mix of Customer Satisfaction, NPS, New Product Development/Innovation, Segmentation/ Personas, Branding, Communication Testing, etc.
- Competitive Intelligence Projects: Leverage internal and external resources to collect, analyze, and synthesize intelligence findings and reports. Analyze and communicate key industry updates, including but not limited to financial community calls, and publicly available financial reporting.
- Strategy Projects: Support strategy projects including Market Disruptors, Trend Analysis, and Strategic Opportunities as identified by Strategy VP.
- Market Analysis: Collect data in support of sizing business segment, CAGR / growth rates, key players and market share, along with market trends, working closely with agency partners, secondary data subscriptions, and other resources to provide stakeholders with relevant information and data. Collect and analyze data in support of analysis of major economic drivers and indicators for business units.
We'll output each as
