We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: description: "Harris is seeking a Research Analyst who will play a critical role in supporting our M&A process. You will be successful in this role if you have a passion for research, analysis, investments, data, and software, and you love to continuously learn.

This includes either passport based visa exemption or possession of any required travel visas for entry into Canada, and the United States.

The successful candidate will demonstrate curiosity and a willingness to actively adopt and leverage AI tools to improve workflows, solve problems, and increase efficiency. Candidates should be comfortable using AI enabled technologies, including copilots, chat based AI assistants, and automation tools, as part of their everyday work while maintaining appropriate judgment, security, and compliance standards." - What Your Impact Will Be: includes bullet points: Majority (>80%) Qualifying M&A Prospects - Understand and use our investment criteria for rigorous screening of prospects; Big Data - Manage, monitor and maintain the data quality of our watch-list of M&A prospects in our CRM with reports and dashboards; Research - Perform primary research on owner-operated businesses, private equity portfolio companies, as well as potential carve outs of multinational corporations; Research - market-sizing, industry trends, and competitor analysis; Research - Software M&A advisors, brokers, and investment banks; Data sources - Identify & analyze relevant 3rd party data sources such as industry tradeshows and conferences for M&A prospects; Analysis-Prepare and report on various statistics and KPIs related to our M&A pipeline; Minority ( Ad Hoc Analysis & Special Projects with our senior M&A and Corporate Development leaders to support capital deployment - What We Are Looking For: bullet list: 1-3+ years of experience in finance, accounting, software, or data analysis; Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, or Economics (BBA/ BCom etc.) preferred; Self-motivated?

We need to map to sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have no explicit Pay or Schedule info besides salary range: "Salary 70K - 77K". That's pay. So we need a Pay section with that. Schedule: Not given explicitly. Travel required approx 10% maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule. There's no explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, hours. So we should not create Schedule section if no real content. Benefits: we have "What We Can Offer" includes vacation, benefits, stock ownership, RRSP/401k, lifestyle rewards, remote work. So Benefits section. Qualifications: maybe education and experience? Could be separate from Requirements? Usually Requirements = experience, qualifications = education, certifications. We'll decide. Skills: technical skills like Excel, PowerPoint, AI tools, analytical ability, communication, etc. Responsibilities: the "What Your Impact Will Be" list. About the role: initial paragraph plus AI & Innovation Mindset? Could be part of About the role. We'll include that. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract content. About the role paragraph: "Harris is seeking a Research Analyst who will play a critical role in supporting our M&A process. You will be successful in this role if you have a passion for research, analysis, investments, data, and software, and you love to continuously learn. We are looking for someone who wants to grow their career for the long term in this role, as you will become a vital component of our current and future investment strategy. This remote role welcomes candidates anywhere in Canada and the US. Travel is required as needed, approximately 10%. Candidates must hold a current, valid passport and be legally eligible to travel between USA and Canada. This includes either passport based visa exemption or possession of any required travel visas for entry into Canada, and the United States. Preference will be given to candidates who can work in EST timezone." AI & Innovation Mindset: "We are committed to leveraging emerging technologies to improve how we work, serve our customers, and drive business outcomes. The successful candidate will demonstrate curiosity and a willingness to actively adopt and leverage AI tools to improve workflows, solve problems, and increase efficiency. Candidates should be comfortable using AI enabled technologies, including copilots, chat based AI assistants, and automation tools, as part of their everyday work while maintaining appropriate judgment, security, and compliance standards." We could combine these into About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the role" includes both. Responsibilities: list items: - Majority (>80%) Qualifying M&A Prospects - Understand and use our investment criteria for rigorous screening of prospects - Big Data - Manage, monitor and maintain the data quality of our watch-list of M&A prospects in our CRM with reports and dashboards - Research - Perform primary research on owner-operated businesses, private equity portfolio companies, as well as potential carve outs of multinational corporations - Research - market-sizing, industry trends, and competitor analysis - Research - Software M&A advisors, brokers, and investment banks - Data sources - Identify & analyze relevant 3rd party data sources such as industry tradeshows and conferences for M&A prospects - Analysis-Prepare and report on various statistics and KPIs related to our M&A pipeline - Minority ( Ad Hoc Analysis & Special Projects with our senior M&A and Corporate Development leaders to support capital deployment We need to keep the bullet points as

. Requirements: maybe travel eligibility, passport, ability to work EST, remote work? Actually those are more about role. Could be under Requirements: "Candidates must hold a current, valid passport and be legally eligible to travel between USA and Canada. This includes either passport based visa exemption or possession of any required travel visas for entry into Canada, and the United States. Preference will be given to candidates who can work in EST timezone." Also travel required approx 10%. Qualifications: education: "Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, or Economics (BBA/ BCom etc.) preferred". Also maybe 1-3+ years experience? That could be Requirements. Skills: "Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint", "Leverages AI for research and analysis", "Excellent attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines", "Excellent organizational skills, written and verbal communication skills, and analytical ability", "Self-motivated individual with an ability to perform independently in a fast-paced environment", "High degree of professionalism and integrity", "Ability to work remotely in the U.S. or Canada". Also maybe "Self-motivated individual..." is a skill. Benefits: list: "3 weeks’ vacation and 5 personal days", "Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits starting from your first day of employment", "Employee stock ownership and RRSP/401k matching programs", "Lifestyle rewards", "Remote work and more!" Pay: "Salary 70K - 77K" Schedule: none. We also have About Harris paragraph: could be included as a separate section maybe "About Harris" but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About Harris". So we need to decide where to put that info. Could be part of About the role? Might be okay to include as a paragraph under About the role after the role description. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples but we should use those headings. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we must only use those headings if we have content. We could put About Harris under About the role? Might be stretching but maybe acceptable. However the instruction says "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." It doesn't forbid adding extra headings not listed, but says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It implies we should use those headings for sections. Probably we should stick to those headings only. So we need to fit About Harris somewhere else, maybe as a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Not ideal but we can include it as a paragraph under About the role after the role description. That seems okay. Thus final HTML:
