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 need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Store - BOS-NEWTON, MA (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. That's like a summary/about the role. Then "Major Activities" list many bullet points (actually sentences separated by periods). We need to treat as list of duties/responsibilities. Then "Other Duties As Assigned" (maybe minor, but we can include as part of responsibilities? Might be filler; but it's a line. Could be considered part of responsibilities but it's generic; we might drop as boilerplate? It's not a list of specific duties; it's generic. Probably we can omit. Then "Minimum Type of Experience Required 3+ years retail leadership experience" -> requirement. Then "Work Environment" list of physical abilities (standing, moving, bending, lifting, etc.) and work hours (nights, weekends, early mornings). That's like requirements/qualifications? Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We'll treat as "Requirements" maybe. Then "Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job." That's legal requirement; could be part of requirements. Then "Total Base Pay Range For This Position $16.00 - $22.20 This position may be eligible for overtime compensation in accordance with state and local laws." That's pay info. Then company description (At The Michaels Companies Inc., our purpose...). That's about the company; maybe not needed but could be "About the role"? Already have summary. Could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO but it's company description; might be considered relevant but not required. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company description is not boilerplate; it's substantive about the employer. Should we include? Possibly under "About the role" or a separate section like "About the Company". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put company description under "About the role" as additional context. Or we could create a separate "About the role" includes the role summary and company description. Then benefits paragraph: "Michaels offers a range of benefits..." That's benefits. Then EEO etc boilerplate to remove. Thus we need sections: - About the role: include the initial paragraph about role and maybe company description? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role: we have a description of the role (first paragraph). Could also include company description? Might be okay. - Responsibilities: the "Major Activities" list (the bullet points). We'll convert each sentence into
  • . - Requirements: includes "Minimum Type of Experience Required 3+ years retail leadership experience", "Work Environment" physical abilities, work hours, legal requirements. Could also include "Ability to remain standing..." etc. We'll put those as list items. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we should not duplicate. Could combine experience and abilities under Requirements. Qualifications could be left out if not distinct. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might only have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Schedule if we have schedule info (nights, weekends, early mornings) under Work Environment; but schedule is part of work environment. Could create a Schedule section if we have explicit schedule. The posting says: "Work hours include nights, weekends and early mornings". That's schedule info. Could put under Schedule section. But we already have work hours in Work Environment; we could move to Schedule. However we need to avoid thin sections. If we separate schedule, we might have a small section with just that line. Might be okay but we could incorporate into Requirements or Work Environment. Since we have a Requirements section already, we can include schedule there. - Benefits: we have benefits paragraph. - Pay: we have base pay range and overtime eligibility. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

    for each section heading. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

      for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all details from the posting that are not boilerplate. Let's extract details precisely. About the role paragraph: "Store - BOS-NEWTON, MA 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 need to keep location? The location is "Store - BOS-NEWTON, MA". That's substantive. Should we include? Probably yes as part of About the role. We'll include it. Thus About the role paragraph: "Store - BOS-NEWTON, MA 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 split into two sentences but keep as one

      . Now Responsibilities: The "Major Activities" list. Let's extract each bullet: - 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. Also "Other Duties As Assigned" - we can ignore as generic. Now Requirements: Let's gather: - Minimum Type of Experience Required 3+ years retail leadership experience - Work Environment: list of physical abilities: - 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 - Applicants in the U.S. must satisfy federal, state, and local legal requirements of the job. We could also include "Ability to remain standing for long periods of time" etc as list items. We need to decide if we separate physical abilities and work hours into separate sub-sections? But we can just list all as

    • under Requirements. Now Benefits: paragraph: "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" We need to keep all that. It's prose; we can put in

      . Could also split into multiple sentences but one

      is fine. Now Pay: "Total Base Pay Range For This Position $16.00 - $22.20 This position may be eligible for overtime compensation in accordance with state and local laws." We'll put in

      . Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEOC, legal posters, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. There's no duplication. Now output HTML fragment:
