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 if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Store - CHI-GENEVA, IL (maybe 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. - Major Activities (list of bullet points): - 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 - Minimum Type of Experience Required: 3+ years retail leadership experience - Work Environment: list of abilities (standing, moving, bending, lifting, etc.) and work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings. - Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job. - Total Base Pay Range For This Position: This position may be eligible for overtime compensation in accordance with state and local laws. (No specific numbers, just mention eligibility for overtime.) - At The Michaels Companies Inc., our purpose is to fuel the joy of creativity and celebration... (company description) - maybe we can include as "About the company" but not required heading. Could be part of "About the role"? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph describing role. - Responsibilities: the major activities list. - Requirements: Minimum Type of Experience Required (3+ years retail leadership experience) and maybe Work Environment? Work environment could be under Requirements or maybe separate but we only have headings list; we could put under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? The instruction says we can use those headings; we need to include only sections with real content. We could have:

About the role

...

Responsibilities

  • ...

Requirements

  • 3+ years retail leadership experience
  • Ability to remain standing for long periods of time
  • ... etc (work environment abilities)
But we need to separate maybe Qualifications vs Requirements? The posting only mentions experience requirement; no explicit qualifications like education. Could combine. Benefits: The posting mentions benefits at end: "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." So we can include Benefits section. Pay: The posting says "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, just mention eligibility for overtime. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay (eligible for overtime). That's something about pay. So we can include Pay section with that statement. Schedule: The posting mentions work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEOC, legal, etc. Also remove company description? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description (At The Michaels Companies Inc., our purpose...) is substantive? It's about the company, not the role. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO. It's about the company. Might be considered substantive? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it. Where to place? Could be under About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But headings list only includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put company description under About the role as part of the role description. Or we could create a separate heading not in list? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't forbid other headings, but better to stick to those. We can incorporate company description into About the role paragraph. Thus:

About the role

But note we should not repeat job title. That's fine. Now Responsibilities: list all major activities bullet points. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information from the Major Activities list. Also include "Other Duties As Assigned" as a bullet. We'll create
  • ...
. Now Requirements: include experience requirement and work environment abilities. We could split: Requirements (experience) and maybe Qualifications (none). But we can just put experience and abilities under Requirements. We need to list each ability as separate
  • . 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 (this is schedule, but we might put under Schedule). Actually schedule separate. But we have schedule section for work hours. So we can put work hours under Schedule. Thus Requirements: experience + physical abilities (excluding work hours). We'll list them. Now Benefits: list benefits as bullet points. 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 We'll put each as
  • . Now Pay: statement about overtime eligibility. We'll put

    This position may be eligible for overtime compensation in accordance with state and local laws.

    Now Schedule: work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings. We'll put

    Work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings.

    We must not include any boilerplate like EEOC, legal, etc. Also remove "Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job." That's legal boilerplate; should be removed. Also remove "Total Base Pay Range For This Position" heading? We already used Pay section. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The location "Store - CHI-GENEVA, IL" maybe location. Should we include location? It's substantive. Where to put? Could be in About the role paragraph after role description. We'll add location. Thus About the role paragraph: "Store - CHI-GENEVA, IL The Merchandise Manager drives..." Actually the location is before description. We'll incorporate: "Located in CHI-GENEVA, IL, the Merchandise Manager drives..." Now check for any other substantive info: "Minimum Type of Experience Required 3+ years retail leadership experience" we captured. "Other Duties As Assigned" we included as bullet. Now ensure we didn't include any duplicated lines. Now produce HTML fragment only. Let's craft. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. We'll output:
