Merchandise Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Overview, General Summary & Scope, Principal Duties & Responsibilities (Performance, People, Process), Job Qualifications (Education, Experience, Skills), Special Position Requirements (schedule), Working Conditions, Pay range, Benefits, About Ulta Beauty (company overview). Need to follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. 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. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: Overview (some fluff), General Summary & Scope (role description), Principal Duties & Responsibilities (Performance, People, Process), Job Qualifications (Education, Experience, Skills), Special Position Requirements (schedule), Working Conditions, Pay range, Benefits, About Ulta Beauty (company overview). Also there is a line about "If an associate has a disability..." that's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "We will consider for employment all qualified applicants..." that's EEO; remove. We need to avoid duplication. Also we should not include sections with filler like "About the role" if not present? The posting has "Overview" and "General Summary & Scope". Could treat "Overview" as About the role? But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map: About the role (maybe combine Overview and General Summary & Scope). Responsibilities (Performance, People, Process). Requirements (Education, Experience, Skills). Benefits (Benefits). Pay (Pay range). Schedule (Special Position Requirements). Also maybe Working Conditions could be part of Requirements? But they said only include sections when posting has real specific content. Working Conditions is specific; but we don't have a standard heading for it; we could include as a separate section with

  Working Conditions

  . However they gave examples but not exclusive; we can add other headings if needed. But they said "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are examples; we can use other headings if needed. But better to keep to those categories if possible. Working Conditions could be under Requirements or Responsibilities? Might be better to include as a separate section with heading "Working Conditions". But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Working Conditions into Requirements or Responsibilities? It's about physical demands; could be under Requirements. But we have Education, Experience, Skills; we could add a subsection for Physical Requirements. However they want lists for duties/requirements/benefits. Could make a

  for Working Conditions. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. Overview: "Experience a place of energy, passion, and excitement.

  and content. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe combine Overview and General Summary & Scope). Responsibilities (Performance, People, Process).

Could put Special Position Requirements under Schedule. Working Conditions could be its own section or under Requirements. Benefits section. Pay section. About Ulta Beauty maybe as "About the company". But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list About the company.
