Sales Specialist - Financial Services
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary), Responsibilities (from Job Responsibilities), Requirements (from Requirements & Education), Pay (salary range), Benefits (benefits description). Possibly Schedule? Not present. Qualifications? Could be part of Requirements. Skills? Could be part of Requirements. But we should avoid thin sections. We'll combine. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must strip out the "Equal Opportunity Employer", "Why You'll Thrive at NetApp", "Submitting an Application", "AI Disclosure". Also remove duplicated lines like "Own Every Moment at NetApp" maybe not needed but it's part of intro; we can keep as prose? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." The job title is "Sales Specialist". We should not put that as heading. The intro paragraphs can be in
maybe under About the role. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content: Intro: "Own Every Moment at NetApp At NetApp, your ideas power innovation. We lead in intelligent data infrastructure—delivering unified storage, integrated data services, and solutions that help organizations unlock the full potential of their data, from AI to multicloud. Ready to innovate and contribute to our path to $10B? Here, you'll collaborate with passionate teams, tackle real-world challenges, and see your impact in how customers transform and grow.

Your focus will be on helping organizations modernize their data management and protection strategies, leveraging NetApp’s innovative cloud and hybrid solutions to address critical business challenges and enable digital transformation. Success in this role requires a consultative approach, strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to collaborate across internal teams and external partners." Location: "Location: New York City or New Jersey Industries: Financial Services" Job Responsibilities: list bullet points under "Key Responsibilities". We need to convert to

We need to preserve all. Could group under headings? But we only have
for section headings; we could have a single Responsibilities section with a
- containing all items, maybe with subheadings not allowed? We could embed subheadings as inside
- but that's okay. Simpler: just list each bullet as
- . Keep the text.

Also mention hybrid working environment: "At NetApp, we embrace a hybrid working environment designed to strengthen connection, collaboration, and culture for all employees. This means that most roles will have some level of in-office and/or in-person expectations, which will be shared during the recruitment process." This could be under Schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe we could put under a section like Work Arrangement but not required. Since we only have headings list, we could include Schedule if we have info; but we don't have explicit schedule. Hybrid working environment could be considered schedule? Might be better to omit Schedule section because not explicit. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." We have Pay and Benefits stated. Schedule not explicitly stated; we have hybrid working environment but not schedule details. So we omit Schedule.
We also need to include location maybe as a short
under About the role or separate? Could be part of About the role. We'll include location in a
after the summary. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, Why You'll Thrive, Submitting an Application, AI Disclosure. Also remove duplicated lines. Now construct HTML: We'll have:
