We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, maybe Benefits/Pay/Schedule only if present. The posting includes "About HealthCentral" (company description) and "About the Role". The instructions: 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. Also remove boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal. So we need to keep substantive info: About HealthCentral (company description) maybe as a paragraph? The heading "About HealthCentral" is a section heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It lists examples but not limited. So we can use

for About HealthCentral, About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements. However they said "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". The job title is Performance Marketing Specialist; we are not using that. So fine. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have About HealthCentral content, About the Role content, Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list). No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we omit those. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So Responsibilities list and Requirements list become
    • . For prose, use

      . Also we need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO statement, note about never asking to purchase equipment, contact HR email? That's application instruction? It says "For any questions or inquiries, please contact our HR team directly at hrteam@healthcentral.com." That's contact info; maybe considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but contact. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's not navigation/legal/EEO. It's a contact. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The contact email could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but could be considered contact for questions. Safer to remove it. Also the line "Please note if you are applying to position at HealthCentral, we will never ask for you to purchase equipment as a condition of employment or require any paperwork from you prior to an offer being extended within our Paylocity system." That's also a note; could be considered application instruction; remove. Also the EEO statement: remove. Thus we keep: About HealthCentral paragraph, About the Role paragraph (maybe includes remote position note), Responsibilities list, Requirements list. We need to preserve all substantive information: remote position note: "This is a remote position; however, candidates must be based in the United States and authorized to work in the U.S." That's part of About the Role. Keep. Also "This role supports the execution, optimization, and analysis of paid media and client campaigns across search, social, native, programmatic, and other digital channels." etc. We need to not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the bullet points exactly as given? We can keep them as list items preserving content. Let's extract sections. About HealthCentral: "HealthCentral is a personalized health experience company at the intersection of media, technology, community, and culture. Through trusted brands including HealthCentral, MedCentral, Oncology News Central, Patient Power, TheBody, and Drops, we connect millions of consumers, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and industry partners with credible health information and innovative engagement solutions. As we continue transforming into a technology-enabled healthcare platforms company, we are expanding our commercial capabilities across media, influencer marketing, content, social, community, data, and technology solutions." That's a paragraph. About the Role: "HealthCentral is seeking a Performance Marketing Specialist to join our Performance Marketing team. This is a remote position; however, candidates must be based in the United States and authorized to work in the U.S. This role supports the execution, optimization, and analysis of paid media and client campaigns across search, social, native, programmatic, and other digital channels. The ideal candidate is analytical, curious, and highly comfortable working with data. They should be able to identify performance trends, translate data into actionable optimizations, and continuously look for ways to make campaign management more efficient through automation, AI, and streamlined workflows. We value people who simplify work, not add process to it. The successful candidate will look for opportunities to automate repeatable tasks, eliminate unnecessary manual steps, manage by exception, and focus human attention on the decisions that require judgment. This role will work cross-functionally with Analytics, Ad Operations, Client Performance, Product, Technology, Editorial, and other teams to deliver against campaign goals and identify opportunities to improve performance and efficiency." That's prose; could be multiple paragraphs but we can keep as one

      . Areas of Responsibility: then list bullet points. We need to output

      About the Role

      then maybe

      ... then

      Responsibilities

      then
      • ... etc. Similarly Requirements. Let's extract Responsibilities bullet points exactly as in text: - Manage and optimize digital media campaigns across paid search, paid social, native, programmatic, and emerging channels, with a focus on performance, delivery, and efficiency. - Monitor campaign pacing and performance, proactively identifying opportunities, risks, and recommended optimizations. - Execute bid, budget, audience, placement, device, and channel optimizations based on campaign goals and performance data. - Develop and execute testing strategies across audiences, channels, creative, placements, and optimization approaches to improve performance and identify opportunities for scale. - Develop audience segmentation and targeting strategies for client campaigns, including the use of first- and third-party audience data. - Partner with Analytics and Technology teams to analyze campaign, audience, and site data and translate findings into actionable recommendations. - Support performance strategies across HealthCentral's publications, products, communities, and audience acquisition initiatives. - Develop campaign reporting and analysis that goes beyond delivery metrics to explain what is driving performance, what requires action, and what we should do next. - Use AI, automation, and agentic workflows to streamline campaign monitoring, QA, reporting, analysis, and other repeatable processes, while identifying opportunities to eliminate unnecessary manual work. - Manage campaign QA and ensure tracking, naming conventions, targeting, budgets, and other campaign inputs are accurate before and during launch. - Monitor industry and platform developments and recommend new channels, technologies, targeting approaches, and testing opportunities. - Support relationships with media and technology partners and evaluate new partners based on business need and performance potential. - Collaborate across teams to ensure campaign strategy, execution, measurement, and optimization are aligned with client objectives. Now Requirements bullet points: - 1–3 years of experience in performance marketing, paid media, digital advertising, or a related field. - Hands-on experience with one or more major advertising platforms such as Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, Taboola, Outbrain, or programmatic/DSP platforms. - Strong understanding of digital media fundamentals, including CPM, CPC, CTR, CPA/CAC, conversion rate, reach, frequency, pacing, and budget management. - Strong analytical skills and the ability to identify trends, anomalies, and optimization opportunities within campaign data. - Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets, including working with datasets, formulas, lookups, pivot tables, and reporting. - Experience with analytics and reporting platforms such as Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Sigma, or similar tools is a plus. - Familiarity with AI tools, workflow automation, or agentic AI is strongly preferred, with an expectation that AI will be incorporated into everyday campaign management and analysis. - Ability to evaluate existing processes and identify opportunities to automate, consolidate, simplify, or eliminate manual steps. - Strong attention to detail, particularly around campaign setup, tracking, budgets, pacing, and data quality. - Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate performance data into concise insights and recommendations. - Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple campaigns and priorities simultaneously. - A test-and-learn mindset and curiosity about new technologies, channels, audiences, and approaches to improving both campaign performance and the processes supporting it. We need to ensure we keep the exact wording, including en dash etc. Use as is. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences. Thus:
