Senior Account Manager, Public Relations (Financial & Professional Services)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually the posting includes description paragraphs. We need to extract sections: maybe "About the role" (intro), "Key Responsibilities" (with sub-sections?), "Success Factors" (requirements/qualifications), "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule", "Location & Work Environment"? The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Intro paragraph: "Senior Account Managers on our Financial & Professional Services teams lead integrated communications programs..." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll include that as

About the role

with

content. - Then "Key Responsibilities" with bullet points under subheadings: Media Relations, Client Service / Management, Agency Operations, Team Development, Account Leadership. Those are sub-sections under responsibilities. We could treat each as

maybe? But instructions say use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements...). So we could have a top-level

Responsibilities

and then list items under it using

• . However the posting has detailed responsibilities grouped. We could still put them under a single Responsibilities section with list items capturing each bullet. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we can break into multiple
• items. Thus:

  Responsibilities

  with each responsibility as
  • . Could also include sub-bullets but we can flatten. - Then "Success Factors" which are qualifications/experience requirements. That maps to Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. We'll create

    Requirements

    (or Qualifications). Use list. - Then "The salary range for this position is $90,000 to $125,000..." That's Pay. So

    Pay

    ...

    - Then "This role also includes a competitive benefits package with medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, generous paid time off, and additional perks..." That's Benefits. So

    Benefits

    list each benefit. - Then later "Our People-first Culture Is Driven By Four Core Values..." plus list of benefits etc. That's more benefits/detail but we already captured benefits. Could also include "Location & Work Environment" section: details about remote/hybrid, locations. That is specific content. So we should include

    Schedule

    ? Actually schedule refers to work schedule; but we have location & work environment. The instruction list includes Schedule as possible heading. We have info about hybrid schedule: three in-office days per week, remote options in certain states. That's schedule/location. Could treat as

    Schedule

    with

    describing hybrid/remote. Or maybe

    Location & Work Environment

    but not in allowed list; but we can still use heading? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map location/work environment to Schedule? Or maybe we can omit if not exactly matching. But we have specific content about hybrid/remote and locations; we should include it. Could use

    Schedule

    and include both schedule and location details. We also have "About Highwire" description; that's company overview, not required but could be part of About the role? Might be extra. 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." So we can include a short

    for company overview maybe under About the role or separate? But we already have About the role describing the role; we could add company overview as part of About the role or maybe a separate

    About the company

    not in list. Better to incorporate into About the role paragraph. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Please note: This posting may be used to build our talent pipeline..." That's application instructions? It's about using posting to build talent pipeline; maybe consider boilerplate and remove. Also "Join the Highwire team If you're inspired..." that's a call to action; remove. Also "Please note: We are only able to consider candidates who reside in one of the locations listed above at the time of hire." That's location info; we need to keep location info. But the sentence about only able to consider candidates is part of location info; we can keep. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep the list of states for remote work, hybrid schedule details, etc. Let's extract content: Intro: "Senior Account Managers on our Financial & Professional Services teams lead integrated communications programs for some of the most influential companies across banking, insurance, consulting, and advisory-driven industries.
