Project Management Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, duplicated lines. Keep substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - About the role: The description includes intro about CohnReznick, the role, remote, etc. Could be "About the role" or "Overview". We'll include a section with heading

About the role

and paragraph(s) summarizing. - Responsibilities: The "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To" then bullet list of responsibilities. We'll extract bullet points. - Requirements/Qualifications: The "Your Experience." section lists required qualifications: Bachelor's degree, 2-3 years experience, foundational knowledge, hands-on experience, strong organizational skills, effective communication, ability to work independently/collaboratively. Also "Preferred Certifications" CAPM, PMP. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll combine. - Skills: Could be extracted from responsibilities and requirements: e.g., Microsoft Office suite, project management tools, process flows, documentation, interviewing, facilitation, change management, etc. Might be separate but we can include under Skills if there is content. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can include Skills as part of Requirements. But the instruction says we can have sections like Skills if there is real specific content. We have list of technical tasks and strategic tasks that mention skills. Could create a Skills section summarizing those. - Benefits: The posting mentions "WHY COHNREZNICK?" includes robust Total Rewards package: generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off to volunteer. Also later: "Salary is one component of the CohnReznick total rewards package, which includes a discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, expanded and inclusive parental benefits, to name a few." So we have benefits content. We'll include Benefits section. - Pay: Salary range: "In Illinois, the salary range for a Project Management Specialist is $67,000 to $88,000. Actual compensation within the range will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, qualifications and location, and applicable employment laws." That's specific pay info. So include Pay section. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned; remote, hybrid, may need to be present at office with scheduled notice. No explicit schedule like full-time, hours. Not given. So we should not create Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "In addition, please take a moment to review our Universal Job Standards." That's kinda boilerplate but maybe keep? It's more about encouraging to apply; could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but encouraging. Might be considered boilerplate; safer to remove. Also remove "Studies have shown that we are less likely to apply..." etc. That's encouraging but could be considered boilerplate. Probably remove. Also remove "To learn more about life at CohnReznick, visit Life at Life at CohnReznick" (typo). Remove. Also remove the description of CohnReznick LLP etc. That's about the firm; could be part of About the role? Might be considered boilerplate but it's describing the firm. Could keep some but we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. However we can condense but must preserve all substantive info. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That means we cannot omit details? But we can remove boilerplate. The firm description may be considered substantive? It's about the firm, not the role. Might be considered background but could be kept in About the role. However we need to decide. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we can keep firm description if not boilerplate. It's not EEO etc. So we can keep a concise paragraph about the firm. But we also must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have heading for "Project Management Specialist". We'll have sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed those. Check for duplicated lines: none. Check that we didn't include job title as heading: we didn't. Check that we didn't include "Job ID / requisition numbers": none. Check that we didn't include application instructions: we removed lines like "In addition, please take a moment to review our Universal Job Standards." and encouraging to apply lines. Good. Check that we didn't include navigation, cookie, legal: removed. Check that we didn't include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience": we didn't. Check that we didn't include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless actual content: we have Pay and Benefits. Check that we didn't include Schedule: we omitted. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The description about CohnReznick being hybrid firm and most professionals within commutable distance, remote position, occasional office presence. We included that in About the role. We also included the WHY COHNREZNICK? mission statement? We omitted that; maybe it's substantive? It's about mission and values. Could be considered part of About the role or Benefits? It's not a benefit but culture. Could be included in About the role as a paragraph. The mission: "At CohnReznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm. We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun." That's substantive about culture. Should we include? It's not boilerplate; it's
