We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have content: Must Have Technical/Functional Skills (list). Roles & Responsibilities (list). Generic Managerial Skills (list). Salary Range: $150,000 - $170,000 a year. TCS Employee Benefits Summary (list). Qualifications: BACHELOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE. We need to map to sections: About the role? Not present explicitly; maybe we can combine description? The job description includes Must Have Technical/Functional Skills and Roles & Responsibilities. Could treat "About the role" as summary? But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. There's no explicit "About the role" paragraph. Could we omit About the role? Probably yes. Responsibilities: we have Roles & Responsibilities content. Requirements: we have Must Have Technical/Functional Skills (technical). Also maybe Generic Managerial Skills could be under Skills? Or Requirements? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include. We have: - Responsibilities: detailed list under "Roles & Responsibilities". So include Responsibilities. - Requirements: technical skills list under "Must Have Technical/Functional Skills". So include Requirements. - Skills: maybe Generic Managerial Skills could go under Skills. Or we could include Skills section for managerial skills. The posting includes "Generic Managerial Skills, If any". So we have content for Skills. - Qualifications: BACHELOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE. So include Qualifications. - Benefits: TCS Employee Benefits Summary list. So include Benefits. - Pay: Salary Range: $150,000 - $170,000 a year. So include Pay. - Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule. - About the role: not present; maybe we could combine a brief overview from first paragraph? The job description starts with "Job Description Must Have Technical/Functional Skills ..." Not really an about. Safer to omit About the role. Thus output sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to use

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

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the detailed bullet points as they appear. Must not lose any detail. We need to format lists appropriately. The original content includes many sentences separated by periods; we can treat each sentence as a list item? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The content is already a list of items separated by line breaks? In the posting, each bullet is a sentence starting with a capital letter, but not explicitly bullet points. We can treat each sentence as a list item. However we must preserve all info; we can wrap each sentence in
    • . Ensure we don't lose any detail like commas etc. We need to be careful not to add extra punctuation not present. We'll split by periods that end a sentence, but some sentences have abbreviations like "S/4HANA". Might cause issues. Safer: keep as paragraphs? But instruction says use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The content is a list of items; we can treat each line (separated by line break) as an item. In the provided text, there are line breaks after each sentence? Let's examine: "Must Have Technical/Functional Skills 12+ years of SAP Manufacturing and Supply Chain experience with deep expertise in SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing Planning and embedded PP/DS. Minimum three end-to-end SAP planning implementations, including solution architecture ownership on at least one global SAP S/4HANA transformation. Expertise in demand management, PIRs, MRP Live, MRP areas, planning strategies, lot sizing, safety stock, lead-time scheduling, and exception management. Strong experience with embedded PP/DS covering product heuristics, production planning runs, detailed scheduling, finite capacity planning, optimization, pegging, and alert monitoring. Experience designing planning for Discrete, Process, Repetitive, Make-to-Stock, Make-to-Order, Engineer-to-Order, configurable, batch-managed, and subcontracting scenarios. Deep knowledge of BOMs, recipes, routings, work centers/resources, production versions, PDS generation, quotas, source determination, calendars, shifts, and setup matrices. Experience with capacity evaluation, bottleneck management, sequencing, setup optimization, campaign planning, model-mix planning, and alternate resources or sources of supply. Strong integration experience with Sales and Operations Planning, SAP IBP, aATP, Procurement, EWM, Manufacturing Execution, Quality, Plant Maintenance, Product Costing, and Transportation. Experience defining planning master-data governance, segmentation, planning horizons, freeze periods, time fences, planning policies, and planner work practices. Experience with SAP Fiori planning applications, analytics, alerts, background jobs, workflows, interfaces, enhancements, and SAP BTP integration patterns. Experience with planning-data migration, simulation, reconciliation, performance tuning, SIT, UAT, cutover, go-live, and hypercare. Strong knowledge of SAP Activate, global template governance, clean-core principles, and complex multi-plant manufacturing networks." These are sentences separated by periods. We can make each sentence a
      • . Ensure we keep the content exactly as is (including the leading numbers etc). We'll need to strip the leading "Must Have Technical/Functional Skills" heading? That heading is not part of list; we will have heading

        Requirements

        then list. Similarly for Responsibilities: sentences start with "Own the end-to-end SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing Planning architecture for the Helix program and align the solution with enterprise architecture and the global process template." etc. We'll need to split each sentence. For Skills (Generic Managerial Skills): sentences: "Strong solution leadership, ownership, stakeholder management, and executive communication skills. Ability to translate complex manufacturing constraints into scalable planning processes and SAP architecture. Ability to lead cross-functional teams across planning, manufacturing, procurement, logistics, finance, data, integration, and change management. Experience coordinating onshore and offshore teams in a large global transformation program. Strong governance, risk management, decision facilitation, conflict resolution, and escalation skills. Proactive, outcome-oriented approach with the ability to challenge assumptions and drive standard, sustainable solutions." For Benefits: list items after "TCS Employee Benefits Summary". The text: "Discretionary Annual Incentive. Comprehensive Medical Coverage: Medical & Health, Dental & Vision, Disability Planning & Insurance, Pet Insurance Plans. Family Support: Maternal & Parental Leaves. Insurance Options: Auto & Home Insurance, Identity Theft Protection. Convenience & Professional Growth: Commuter Benefits & Certification & Training Reimbursement. Time Off: Vacation, Time Off, Sick Leave & Holidays. Legal & Financial Assistance: Legal Assistance, 401K Plan, Performance Bonus, College Fund, Student Loan Refinancing." We can treat each sentence as
      • . Ensure we keep the colon etc. For Pay: just a sentence: "Salary Range: $150,000 - $170,000 a year". Could be

        or

        • . Since it's not a list, we can use

          . For Qualifications: "BACHELOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE". Use

          . Now produce HTML fragment. We must not include any extra text like explanations. Just output HTML. Let's craft:
