We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The essential job functions includes ADA statement etc. That's legal boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the "Essential Job Functions:" heading is not one of our allowed headings; we can incorporate content into appropriate sections (like Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills). But we need to preserve substantive info. The ADA statement is legal boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the "Work is performed in a (type of location..." etc is generic; maybe we can keep some specifics like noise level, smoking permitted etc? Those are details about work environment; could be considered part of Responsibilities? Might be considered "Other Duties"? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The ADA statement is legal; we should drop it. Also the generic description about work environment may be considered boilerplate; but some specifics like noise level moderate, casino floor loud, smoking permitted in casino areas consistent with Nevada state regulations. Might be considered substantive? It's about work environment; not explicitly prohibited. However the instruction says remove legal/EEO etc. This is not exactly EEO but it's ADA accommodation statement; that's legal. So drop that sentence. The rest about work environment maybe keep as part of "Other Duties" or "Responsibilities"? Could be considered part of "Responsibilities" or "Other Duties". We'll include a short paragraph under Responsibilities maybe.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from Role paragraph). Responsibilities (from Key Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe Education and Experience). Qualifications (maybe separate? Actually Qualifications and Skills are separate headings allowed. The posting has Qualifications (Education, Experience) and Skills (list). We'll follow that.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: only include if posting states them. There's no explicit benefits, pay, schedule. Shift: Varies is metadata but we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It says Shift: Varies. That's a schedule detail. Should we include a Schedule section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states Shift: Varies. That's a schedule detail. So we could include a Schedule section with that info. However "Varies" is vague; but it's stated. The instruction also says: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So "varies" is considered filler/placeholder text. So we should NOT create a Schedule section because the content is just "Varies" which is placeholder. So we omit Schedule.
Similarly Benefits and Pay: none.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.
We need to 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.
We need to format lists appropriately.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The paragraph after "Role:" is:
"The Sales Manager is responsible for proactively soliciting and managing group/catering related opportunities for groups up to 74 room nights on peak. Handles incoming requests, manages the Sales process which includes Site inspections and then turns over the opportunity to the Event Management Team. Actively upsells each business opportunity to maximize revenue. Adheres to all Company, Safety and Department policies and procedures. Fosters teamwork and provides excellent guest service, anticipates guest needs to exceed guest expectations. Builds brand loyalty by living the JW Marriott Core Values."
We'll put that in a

Responsibilities: The "Key Responsibilities:" section includes bullet-like paragraphs. We need to turn into - . The content:

We need to preserve all substantive info. The last sentence is a disclaimer; we can keep it as part of responsibilities maybe as a
after list? But it's not a list item; it's a statement. We'll treat as a
after the list.
We need to decide how to structure: Could have
Responsibilities
then - each bullet. However there are headings within responsibilities (Sales & Revenue Generation, Client Relationship Management, Stakeholder Collaboration, Other Duties). Those are not headings we should output as
because they'd be extra sections not allowed? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings inside? It says use for section headings (list). Likely they want only those top-level headings. So we should not output for those subheadings. Instead we can incorporate them as plain text within
- or maybe as inside
- . But we must not invent headings. We'll just keep the content as list items, preserving the subheadings as part of the item text.
Thus each bullet can be a
- containing the sentences. For readability, we could keep the subheading as part of the item.
Let's list items:
- Supports sales strategies and implements activities that drive market share, enhance guest satisfaction, and achieve financial targets
- Proactively solicits and manages small group and catering opportunities to grow the hotel’s business pipeline
- Maximizes revenue by upselling each business opportunity; consistently achieves individual and team sales goals
