We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not create sections with placeholder text. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Store - TRENTON-PRINCETON, NJ (location) - The Merchandise Manager drives merchandising and operational execution, including truck processing, inventory routines, planogram sets, and visual standards. This role ensures accurate pricing, timely promotional execution, and a customer-ready store environment through strong workload planning and inventory management. Then "Major Activities" list (a long paragraph with many bullet-like sentences). We need to turn into
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We have "Minimum Type of Experience Required 3+ years retail leadership experience" Then "Work Environment" list of abilities. Then "Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job." (maybe part of requirements) Then "Total Base Pay Range For This Position This position may be eligible for overtime compensation in accordance with state and local laws." (Pay info) Then company description (maybe "About the role"? Actually about the company). We need to decide sections. We have benefits description: "Michaels offers a range of benefits to support team members and their families. Depending on position and eligibility, team members may have access to a 401(k) with employer match, an Employee Assistance Program, medical, dental, and vision coverage, telemedicine services, flexible spending accounts, commuter benefits, tuition assistance, adoption assistance, and various voluntary insurance options. All team members enjoy everyday perks such as employee discounts and access to partner discount programs. For a summary of benefits, visit the Michaels Benefits at a Glance page. For additional information regarding benefits, visit MIKBenefits.com" Thus we have Benefits content. Pay: "Total Base Pay Range For This Position This position may be eligible for overtime compensation in accordance with state and local laws." No actual range given. It says "Total Base Pay Range For This Position" but no numbers. This is placeholder? It says "Total Base Pay Range For This Position This position may be eligible for overtime compensation..." No actual range. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). Since no actual range given, we should not create Pay section. However we could include mention of overtime eligibility? But that's still not a range. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "Total Base Pay Range For This Position" but doesn't give numbers. That's essentially placeholder. Safer to omit Pay section. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. Work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings under Work Environment. That's schedule info. Could we create a Schedule section? The posting mentions work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings. That's specific schedule info. So we could create a Schedule section with that detail. However the rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine schedule into Work Environment or Responsibilities? But we have a Work Environment section (abilities). Could we create a Schedule section separate? Might be okay. But we need to decide headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use any of those. We have: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph describing role. - Responsibilities: the major activities list. - Requirements: Minimum experience + work environment abilities? Or we could separate Qualifications/Skills. - Qualifications: maybe the experience requirement. - Skills: maybe the abilities list? But abilities are more physical demands. Better to structure:

    About the role

    ... introductory paragraph ...

    Responsibilities

    • ... each major activity ...

    Requirements

    • 3+ years retail leadership experience
    • Ability to remain standing for long periods of time
    • ... etc (all work environment abilities) ...
    But we also have "Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job." Could be included as a requirement. We could also have

    Benefits

    • ... benefits list ...
    Schedule: we have work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings. Could be included under Requirements or maybe a separate Schedule section. Since we already have many items in Requirements, maybe we add schedule bullet there. But we must not create sections with filler. Benefits section is substantive. We should not include company description beyond "About the role"? The "About the role" could include the introductory paragraph plus maybe company description? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can have About the role section with description of role and maybe company overview. However we should preserve all substantive information; we can include company description in About the role or maybe not needed as it's not directly about role but still substantive. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the company description (Michaels Companies Inc., purpose, number of stores, etc.) somewhere. Could be part of About the role. Thus About the role could contain: The Merchandise Manager drives merchandising... plus the company overview paragraph. Now we need to strip boilerplate: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove the EEOC posters lines etc. Also remove "Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job."? That is not boilerplate; it's a requirement. Keep. Also remove "Total Base Pay Range For This Position This position may be eligible for overtime compensation in accordance with state and local laws." Since no actual range, maybe we can keep as a note under Pay? But we decided to omit Pay section because it's placeholder. However the sentence is substantive about overtime eligibility. Could we include it under Responsibilities or Requirements? It's about compensation eligibility. Could be placed under Requirements as a note: "Eligible for overtime compensation per state/local laws." That is substantive. So we can keep that info but not as a separate Pay heading. Thus we will not create Pay section. Schedule: we have "Work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings." That's schedule info. Could be included under Requirements or a separate Schedule section. Since we have a Schedule heading allowed, we could create it. But we already have many items in Requirements; adding schedule bullet there is fine. Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Now we need to format. Let's extract the introductory paragraph: "Store - TRENTON-PRINCETON, NJ The Merchandise Manager drives merchandising and operational execution, including truck processing, inventory routines, planogram sets, and visual standards. This role ensures accurate pricing, timely promotional execution, and a customer-ready store environment through strong workload planning and inventory management." We could keep location as part of About the role. Now Major Activities list: It's a long paragraph with sentences separated by periods. We need to split into list items. Let's parse: - Assist Store Manager in leading and managing adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Company programs to ensure compliance with applicable laws and requirements. - Ensure execution of Company policies and standards, holding team accountable for store conditions and results. - Provide Manager-on-Duty (MOD) coverage, maintaining floor leadership, service standards, and operational continuity. - Lead truck execution processes, ensuring timely unloading, accurate sorting, and efficient flow of merchandise to the sales floor. - Own workload planning and daily task prioritization, partnering with store leadership to align staffing and execution to business needs. - Execute and maintain SISO (Store-In-Stock Optimization) routines to drive in-stock levels, replenishment accuracy, and sales readiness. - Oversee Planogram (POG) execution, ensuring merchandising sets are completed accurately and on schedule. - Establish and maintain visual merchandising standards, including initial product placement and presentation to company expectations. - Support a clean, organized, and customer-ready store environment, including backroom organization and sales floor recovery. - Manage key aspects of inventory control, ensuring product accuracy, integrity, and efficient stock movement. - Execute ad sets, ensuring promotional signage and product placement are compliant and customer focused. - Complete price changes accurately and on time, maintaining pricing integrity across the sales floor and systems. - Oversee Ship from Store fulfillment, ensuring orders are picked, packed, and shipped efficiently and accurately. - Process RTVs (Return to Vendor) and ASN receiving, ensuring compliance, documentation accuracy, and proper inventory adjustments. - Manage store damages procedures, ensuring proper handling, reporting, and shrink reduction. - Train, coach, and develop team members through structured TM onboarding and ongoing skill-building across assigned departments. - Partner in maintaining strong Asset Protection practices, reducing shrink through awareness, compliance, and safe operations. - Other Duties As Assigned We should keep "Other Duties As Assigned" as a list item? It's generic but it's in the posting. It's not placeholder; it's actual text. We'll include. Now Requirements: Minimum experience: "3+ years retail leadership experience" Work environment abilities list: - Ability to remain standing for long periods of time - Ability to move throughout the store - Regular bending, lifting, carrying, reaching, and stretching - Ability to lift, carry, push, and pull merchandise and fixtures, up to 25-50 pounds with or without reasonable accommodation. - Ability to climb ladders or step stools to stock and retrieve products. - Ability to perform repetitive motions, including scanning items, stocking shelves, and operating POS equipment. - Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with frequent customer interactions. - Work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings. Also "Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job." Also overtime eligibility note: "This position may be eligible for overtime compensation in accordance with state and local laws." We could combine these. Now Benefits list: - 401(k) with employer match - Employee Assistance Program - medical, dental, and vision coverage - telemedicine services - flexible spending accounts - commuter benefits - tuition assistance - adoption assistance - various voluntary insurance options - employee discounts - access to partner discount programs Also mention "For a summary of benefits, visit the Michaels Benefits at a Glance page." and "For additional information regarding benefits, visit MIKBenefits.com". Could include as list items or as a note. We'll include as list items. Now About the role also could include company overview: "As the leading destination for creating and celebrating in North America, we operate over 1,300 stores in 49 states and Canada and online at Michaels.com and Michaels.ca. The Michaels Companies, Inc. also owns Artistree, a manufacturer of custom and specialty framing merchandise. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Irving, Texas, Michaels is the best place for all things creative. For more information, please visit www.michaels.com." We'll include that. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown. We'll produce:
