We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The job purpose could be "About the role". Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: qualifications. Possibly Skills? Could combine. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present. So we should not include those sections. Also need to include metadata like reporting relationships? Could be part of About the role or maybe a short p. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short p for reporting relationships maybe. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. We need headings:
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use only those that have content. Thus sections: About the role (job purpose). Responsibilities (primary duties). Requirements (formal education & relevant work experience). Possibly Skills (ideal candidate attributes/competencies). Could also have Physical Requirements? Might be part of Requirements or separate? The instruction says we can have Skills section. Physical requirements maybe part of Requirements? But we could include a separate section "Physical Requirements" if we want but not in list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes those examples but not exclusive; we could still use other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests those are typical but not exclusive? Probably we should stick to those. Physical requirements could go under Requirements or Skills. I'd include under Requirements as a bullet. We need to preserve all substantive information: job purpose paragraph, list of duties, reporting relationships, job requirements (education, experience, skills), ideal candidate attributes, work location & hours, physical requirements. We must not include EEO statement. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's extract content. Job Purpose paragraph: "The Partnership Activation Director will play a pivotal leadership role in shaping the Dallas Wings' brand partner experience.

Then "Do Other Positions Report to This Position? _X_ No __ Yes If so, what titles report to this position and how many of each? Seasonal gameday staff as needed for Wings." We can summarize: Reports to VP of Partnership Relations. No direct reports aside from seasonal gameday staff as needed.

We should keep both? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicated lines. So if same sentence appears twice, we should keep only one occurrence. Let's identify duplicates: - "Exceptional relationship-building and communication skills." appears in Requirements and also in Ideal Candidate. Keep one. - "Strong leadership and ability to perform under pressure during live events." appears only in Ideal Candidate. - "Be extremely detailed oriented and organized" only Ideal. - "Passion for sports, entertainment, and creating meaningful brand experiences." only Ideal. - "Strategic thinking with hands-on technical proficiency." only Ideal. - "Have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to maintain positive, productive and supportive working relationships." only Ideal. - "Be able to contribute to a team environment" only Ideal. - "Be able to multi-task, work independently and handle creative feedback" only Ideal. - "Excel at managing multiple concurrent projects at once, be self-directed, work independently and handling creative direction/feedback." only Ideal. - "Be able to easily adapt to situational changes" only Ideal. - "Be able to work extended hours including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed" appears in Ideal and also in Work Location & Hours? Work Location & Hours says must be available to attend ALL home games... Games & events may take place on nights, weekends, and/or holidays. Not exactly same but similar. Not duplicate exact phrase. - "Be able to identify areas of opportunity and propose potential solutions while continuing to lead projects without interruption" only Ideal. Physical Requirements list not duplicated elsewhere. We need to format. We'll have sections:
About the role
job purpose paragraph
Responsibilities
- ... each duty
or drop it. Reporting relationships is minor metadata; we can add a p after About the role. Alternatively we could include a section "Reporting" but not in allowed headings. Safer to add a p.
Requirements
- ... education/experience/skills
Skills
- ... ideal candidate attributes (excluding duplicates)
