We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Let's parse the posting. Job Title: Outsource Game Cinematic Director - Temp (SFD / Cinematics) Job Description: paragraphs about role. Then "What You Bring To The Table Priorities can often change..." includes responsibilities list. Then "Experience Minimum Requirements" includes bullet list. Then "Knowledge & Skills" includes bullet list. Then "Key Attributes" bullet list. Then "Your Platform" description about Blizzard. Then "Our World Activision Blizzard..." etc. Then "Rewards Requirements" includes benefits description and pay range. Also mention hybrid work, potential home studio Irvine, CA, 5-month temporary position. We need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description). Responsibilities (list from "What You Bring To The Table..."). Requirements (maybe from Experience Minimum Requirements). Qualifications (maybe from Knowledge & Skills? Actually Knowledge & Skills could be Skills section. Qualifications could be Experience Minimum Requirements? But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping. - About the role: summary of role description (first paragraph(s) about representing Blizzard, partnering, etc.) - Responsibilities: the list under "What You Bring To The Table..." (the bullet points). Should be
  • . - Requirements: maybe the "Experience Minimum Requirements" bullet list (13+ years experience, overseeing external vendor). Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe the "Knowledge & Skills" bullet list (communication, balancing vision, familiarity with game engines). Could be Qualifications. - Skills: maybe the "Key Attributes" bullet list (passion for storytelling, self-motivated, ability to shift hours). Could be Skills. - Benefits: from "Rewards Requirements" paragraph about suite of benefits, list of benefits (medical, dental, etc.) plus note about eligibility. Should be
    • . - Pay: from "In the U.S., the standard base pay range for this role is $137,170.00 - $253,806.00 Annual." Also mention incentive compensation not guaranteed. So we can include that. - Schedule: from hybrid work description: "This role is anticipated to be a hybrid work position, with some work on-site and some work-from-home. The potential home studio for this role is Irvine, CA. However, we understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and will work with you to explore other possible options, including remote work arrangements. This is roughly a 5-month temporary position." So schedule includes hybrid, temporary 5-month. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation request, etc. Also remove "We love hearing from anyone..." etc. Also remove "General employment questions cannot be accepted..." etc. Also remove "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Rewards Requirements" heading? We'll use Benefits section. We must not include navigation, cookie, legal, etc. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Structure:

      Schedule

      This role is anticipated to be a hybrid work position, with some work on-site and some work-from-home. The potential home studio for this role is Irvine, CA; however, the company will work with you to explore other possible options, including remote work arrangements. This is roughly a 5‑month temporary position.

      Check for any duplicated content: We have not repeated job title. We have not included Job ID. We have not included "Your Platform" description about Blizzard; maybe we could incorporate into About the role? The About the role currently only includes the job description paragraph. Could also add a bit about Blizzard from "Your Platform" and "Our World". But the instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that Blizzard description as part of About the role maybe. The About the role section should capture the role description and also company overview? The "About the role" heading is for role description; but we could also include a brief company overview as part of About the role? The instruction: Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid adding extra content beyond the role description in About the role. However, we should not invent or summarize away detail. The "Your Platform" and "Our World" paragraphs are substantive info about the company. Should we include them? They are not under any of the prescribed headings, but we could put them under About the role as extra context. The instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we have content for About the role (the job description). We could also add the company description there, but that might be considered stray from the role. However, the instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information". So we need to keep that info somewhere. If we don't create a separate section for company overview (not in list), we must embed it somewhere else, maybe in About the role. That seems acceptable. Thus, About the role paragraph(s) should include both the role description and the company overview. Let's extract the relevant paragraphs: From "Your Platform": "Best known for iconic video game universes including Warcraft®, Overwatch®, Diablo®, and StarCraft®, Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. (www.blizzard.com), a division of Activision Blizzard, which was acquired by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), is a premier developer and publisher of entertainment experiences.

Blizzard Entertainment engages tens of millions of players around the world with titles available on PC via Battle.net®, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android." From "Our World Activision Blizzard, Inc., is one of the world's largest and most successful interactive entertainment companies and is at the intersection of media, technology and entertainment. We are home to some of the most beloved entertainment franchises including Call of Duty®, World of Warcraft®, Overwatch®, Diablo®, Candy Crush™ and Bubble Witch™.

Our ability to build immersive and innovate worlds is only enhanced by diverse teams working in an inclusive environment. We aspire to have a culture where everyone can thrive in order to connect and engage the world through epic entertainment. We provide a suite of benefits that promote physical, emotional and financial well-being for ‘Every World’ - we’ve got our employees covered! The videogame industry and therefore our business is fast-paced and will continue to evolve. As such, the duties and responsibilities of this role may be changed as directed by the Company at any time to promote and support our business and relationships with industry partners. We love hearing from anyone who is enthusiastic about changing the games industry. Not sure you meet all qualifications? Let us decide! Research shows that women and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification, when, in fact, they often do! We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and strongly encourage you to apply. We are committed to working with and providing reasonable assistance to individuals with physical and mental disabilities. If you are a disabled individual requiring an accommodation to apply for an open position, please email your request to accommodationrequests@activisionblizzard.com. General employment questions cannot be accepted or processed here. Thank you for your interest. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status, among other characteristics." We need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity/boilerplate lines: The paragraphs about equal opportunity, accommodation request, etc. Must be removed. Also remove "We love hearing from anyone..." etc. Also remove "General employment questions cannot be accepted..." etc. Also remove "We are an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "We are committed to working with and providing reasonable assistance to individuals with physical and mental disabilities..." maybe that's also EEO? It's about accommodation; likely considered boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the accommodation request line, the equal opportunity statement, the "We love hearing from anyone..." (that's encouragement but maybe not boilerplate? It's more
