Retail Development Project Manager - MO/AR

We need to output only HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must include only sections with real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, duplicated lines. Keep all substantive info. We need to parse the job posting. Key sections: - About the role: description of role: leading, developing, managing retail growth projects, serving as trusted advisor, etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the "What You’ll Be Doing" bullet points). Could be multiple paragraphs. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "What You’ll Need To Apply" includes education, experience, knowledge, abilities. Could be split into Qualifications and Skills. - Benefits: list of benefits described under "Why should you join our team?" and "Benefits". Need to extract substantive benefits: incentive opportunities, 401(k) matching, health coverage, vacation, holidays, company car/phone/fuel card, Ace Cares Week volunteer time, tuition assistance, campus events, mobile services, employee discounts, birth/adoption bonding PTO, adoption cost reimbursement, EAP, identity theft protection. Also mention "Benefits are provided in compliance with applicable policies." but that's generic. - Pay: compensation details: $103000 - $115000 Per Year. - Schedule: maybe mention flexible hours, remote, travel, overnight travel. The posting says: "Ability to work flexible hours, remotely from a home office and traveling throughout the assigned territory, including overnight travel". That's schedule info. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We can include that as part of qualifications but not as a heading with filler. We must not repeat job title heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must not include duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions like "Create Job Alert", "Follow The Link Below", "We want to hear from you!", etc. We must not include EEO boilerplate, equal opportunity, disclaimer, legal notices. We must not include navigation/cookie. We must not include "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. We must not include "Disclaimer" about pay range. We must not include "Want To Be Notified When New Jobs Are Posted?" etc. We must not include "We want to hear from you!" etc. We must not include "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. We must not include "Disclaimer" about pay range. We must not include "Be aware that salary estimates..." etc. We must not include "This written “Position Description” is not intended..." etc. We must not include "It is unlawful in Massachusetts..." etc. We must not include "Ace Hardware Corporation reserves the right..." etc. We must not include "Benefits are provided in compliance with applicable policies." maybe keep as part of benefits but it's generic; but we can keep if it's substantive? It's generic but not filler like "N/A". It's okay to keep. We need to output only HTML fragment, no or , no markdown fences. We'll structure:

Maybe also Skills separate? Could combine. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Qualifications and Skills separate if content distinct. Qualifications: education, experience, knowledge. Skills: abilities like project management, communication, presentation, PC skills, etc. Let's extract.
