We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. Keep substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Given text: "The pay range is $73,000.00 - $132,000.00 Pay is based on several factors which vary based on position. These include labor markets and in some instances may include education, work experience and certifications. In addition to your pay, Target cares about and invests in you as a team member, so that you can take care of yourself and your family. Target offers eligible team members and their dependents comprehensive health benefits and programs, which may include medical, vision, dental, life insurance and more, to help you and your family take care of your whole selves.

About Us Working at Target means helping all families discover the joy of everyday life. We bring that vision to life through our values and culture. Learn more about Target here. A role in Planning means being in charge of the financials and forecasting for one of Target’s businesses. Here, you’ll conduct comparative analysis of holiday or other seasonal performance reports and provide the insights that inform the Inventory team’s work to ensure that product supports projected sales. Acting as the hub between Merchandising and Supply Chain, you will create a financial link between these two essential groups and have a voice in some of the most important decisions from a financial strategy standpoint. As a Merchandise Planner, you’ll provide in-season decision support, collaborate on assortment planning, recommend localization and channel strategies including cluster types and profiles, and lead demand forecasting. You’ll support the divisional strategy through your category expertise and partnerships with cross-functional teams and vendors. You will head up the open-to-buy process and decide on category-level investment and the financial validity of assortments. You will conduct root cause analysis for variation between supply and demand forecasts to support “chase-cancel” decisions and communicate implications to vendors. You’ll conduct scenario planning, build unit plans, and lead initial set planning and operationalization to optimize assortments. A large part of your role will be to interpret forecast results and conduct “what if?” analysis to guide your go-forward recommendations. You will validate the unit promo planning forecast, drive maintenance, risk analysis and decision-making by the Pricing & Promotion Center of Excellence. And you’ll run event forecast creation and flow, analyzing item lifecycles and driving recommendations on end-of-season management. Core responsibilities are described within this job description. Job duties may change at any time due to business needs. About You Four-year degree or equivalent experience 2-6 years of relevant experience 3+ years of Merchandising experience Strong strategic, financial, and analytical skills; can easily translate data from an array of sources into insights and recommendations Strong collaboration skills to partner with cross-functional teams Flexible, resilient and comfortable working in “grey areas” that are constantly changing This position will require in office presence in downtown Minneapolis Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week, while working from on home on Friday will be an option. Work duties cannot be performed outside of the country of the primary work location, unless otherwise prescribed by Target. Click here if you are curious to learn more about Minnesota. Benefits Eligibility Please paste this url into your preferred browser to learn about benefits eligibility for this role: https://tgt.biz/BenefitsForYou_D Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) In compliance with state and federal laws, Target will make reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities. If a reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, please reach out to candidate.accommodations@HRHelp.Target.com. Non-accommodation-related requests, such as application follow-ups or technical issues, will not be addressed through this channel." We need to extract sections: - Pay: pay range $73,000 - $132,000 and description about factors. So we can have a Pay section with that content. - Benefits: health benefits, 401k, employee discount, disability, paid sick leave, holidays, vacation, link to benefits. Also mention Benefits Eligibility URL. So Benefits section. - Schedule: "This position will require in office presence in downtown Minneapolis Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week, while working from on home on Friday will be an option." Also maybe mention work cannot be performed outside country. That's schedule/location. So Schedule section. - About the role / Responsibilities: The paragraph starting "A role in Planning means being in charge..." through many responsibilities. That's responsibilities. - About Us: maybe "About Us Working at Target means helping all families discover the joy of everyday life..." Could be About the company but not required headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. About Us is not in list, but we could put under About the role? Probably not. The instruction: use

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 can use others? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. About Us could go under About the role? Or we could omit if not fitting. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop About Us if it's substantive. However we could incorporate it into About the role section (since it's about the role/company). The heading "About the role" is allowed. So we can put About Us content under About the role. - Requirements: "Four-year degree or equivalent experience 2-6 years of relevant experience 3+ years of Merchandising experience". That's requirements. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements? Could treat qualifications as same? But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have separate headings allowed. We could put the experience and degree under Requirements, and the skills under Qualifications? Actually qualifications often include skills. The text: "Strong strategic, financial, and analytical skills; can easily translate data from an array of sources into insights and recommendations Strong collaboration skills to partner with cross-functional teams Flexible, resilient and comfortable working in “grey areas” that are constantly changing". Those are skills/qualities. Could go under Skills. So we can have Skills section for those. Thus we have: - About the role: include About Us paragraph and maybe the role description? Actually role description is responsibilities. So About the role could be the About Us paragraph. Responsibilities separate. - Responsibilities: the big block of duties. - Requirements: degree, years experience. - Skills: strong strategic, financial, analytical skills; collaboration skills; flexible, resilient, comfortable in grey areas. - Benefits: health benefits, 401k, employee discount, disability, paid sick leave, holidays, vacation, link. - Pay: pay range and factors. - Schedule: in-office Mon-Thu, remote Fri option, cannot work outside country. We must not include boilerplate like Benefits Eligibility URL? Actually that is part of benefits info, we can keep the URL as part of benefits. The "Benefits Eligibility Please paste this url..." is instructional but still substantive. We can keep as part of benefits. We must remove ADA accommodation etc. That's legal boilerplate, remove. Also remove "Click here if you are curious to learn more about Minnesota." That's navigation/link, remove. Also remove "Core responsibilities are described within this job description. Job duties may change at any time due to business needs." That's generic, maybe remove as boilerplate? It's somewhat generic but still about responsibilities. Could keep? It's not specific detail. Might be considered filler. Safer to remove. Also remove "About You" heading? We'll incorporate into Requirements/Skills. Now construct HTML. We need

for each section heading, then content in

or

• for lists. We need to decide where to use lists. For Responsibilities: many sentences; could be

  with multiple sentences or break into

  • each duty. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should turn duties into list items. Similarly requirements list into
      • . Benefits list into
        • . Skills maybe list. Thus:

          About the role
