We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real specific content. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting.
Purpose Of Role / Job Summary: Position reports to Sr. Manager, General Ledger Accounting and assists with month-end close process, account reconciliations, global standard costing, and with ad hoc projects, as needed.
Key Accountabilities: list bullet points.
Minimum Requirements: Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting required. Experience: Overall work experience 5 -7 years, minimum 2 -5 year experience in a manufacturing or similar production environment. Computer proficiency in Microsoft Office products required, especially Microsoft Excel. Strong background in month-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
Preferences: Experience with $250 million+ revenue company preferred. Experience with multinational or multi-entity environment preferred. Experience with J.D. Edwards, Microsoft Dynamics 365 or other large ERP systems a plus. Life science industry experience a plus.
Requirements Working Conditions & Physical Requirements: Extended computer and display screen equipment usage Ability to read and interpret materials, verbally communicate, and hear required. Hybrid schedule (generally in office two days per week)
Critical Success Factors: list bullet points (Efficient, Communication, Collaboration, Relationship Builder, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Improvement Driven, Organization and Time Management). Also note: This position could be offered at different levels for candidates who qualify with a combination of advanced levels of education and/or years of experience. The salary range will adjust along with the level of the role to match the person’s relevant experience and/or education level.
Then company description: At Inotiv, our work helps advance... etc.
Salary will be commensurate with experience and responsibilities. Benefits include health and dental coverage, short- and long-term disability, paid time off, paid parental leave, 401K, and more!
EEO boilerplate to remove.
We need sections: About the role (job summary). Responsibilities (key accountabilities). Requirements (minimum requirements + preferences? maybe combine). Qualifications? Could be education? But we have Minimum Requirements and Preferences. Could put them under Requirements. Skills maybe from Critical Success Factors? Those are more competencies. Could put under Skills. Benefits section: we have benefits listed. Pay: we have salary commensurate with experience (but that's vague, not a specific number). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits, so we can include Benefits. It states Hybrid schedule (generally in office two days per week) - that's schedule info, so we can include Schedule. Pay: they say "Salary will be commensurate with experience and responsibilities." That's not a specific number or range, but it's still stating something about pay. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says "Salary will be commensurate with experience and responsibilities." That is essentially filler/placeholder text (commensurate with experience). According to instruction, we should not create a Pay section if it's just that placeholder. So we should omit Pay section.
Schedule: we have Hybrid schedule (generally in office two days per week) - that's specific enough, not placeholder. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: we have specific list: health and dental coverage, short- and long-term disability, paid time off, paid parental leave, 401K, and more! That's substantive, so include Benefits.
Now About the role: we have Purpose Of Role / Job Summary. We'll put that under About the role.
Responsibilities: Key Accountabilities list.
Requirements: Minimum Requirements and Preferences combined? Could also include Working Conditions & Physical Requirements? That could be part of Requirements or maybe separate? But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to fit content.
We could put Education, Experience, Computer proficiency, Strong background under Requirements. Preferences could be under Qualifications? Or maybe under Requirements as "Preferred qualifications". But we have a Qualifications heading allowed. Could use Qualifications for preferences and maybe also for education? However education is a requirement. Might be better to put education and experience under Requirements, and preferences under Qualifications. Then Skills could be the Critical Success Factors (competencies). Or we could put Critical Success Factors under Skills.
Let's decide:
- About the role: job summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of key accountabilities.
- Requirements: Education (Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting required), Experience (5-7 years overall, 2-5 years manufacturing), Computer proficiency (MS Office, especially Excel), Strong background in month-end close, reconciliations, financial reporting.
- Qualifications: Preferences (Experience with $250M+ revenue company, multinational/multi-entity, ERP systems JD Edwards, Dynamics 365, Life science industry).
- Skills: Critical Success Factors (list of competencies: Efficient, Communication, Collaboration, Relationship Builder, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Improvement Driven, Organization and Time Management). Could also include Ability to read and interpret materials, verbally communicate, hear required? That's more of a requirement but could be under Requirements as well. But we already have computer proficiency etc. Might add under Requirements as "Ability to read and interpret materials, verbally communicate, and hear required." However that's more of a physical requirement. Could also be under Requirements.
- Benefits: list.
- Schedule: Hybrid schedule (generally in office two days per week).
We must not repeat job title. No extra headings.

We must ensure no boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed.
Check for any repeated content: we included ability to read etc under Requirements; that's from Working Conditions & Physical Requirements. Good.
We didn't include the company description paragraph about Inotiv. That's substantive? It's about the company, not role-specific. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Should we include that? It's about the company, maybe considered boilerplate? It's not a standard legal boilerplate; it's a description of the organization. Might be considered substantive. However typical job postings include a company overview; we might keep it. The instruction didn't explicitly say to remove company overview. It said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview is not those. So we should keep it. Where to put? Could be under About the role as additional paragraph, or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But we only have allowed headings list; we could add it under About the role as extra paragraph.
Thus About the role could have two paragraphs: first the purpose, second the company description.
Let's incorporate: After the purpose paragraph, add At Inotiv, our work helps advance the development of new medicines and therapies that can improve people's lives. As a leading global contract research organization (CRO), we partner with researchers to tackle complex scientific challenges, drive innovation, and help build a healthier, safer world. Bringing together scientists, researchers, technical experts, and business professionals, we provide the expertise and collaboration needed to move research forward. Our people make this work possible, and we value the knowledge, ideas, and contributions each person brings to the team. Whether you are starting your career or bringing years of experience, Inotiv offers opportunities to learn, grow, and play a meaningful role in advancing treatments for patients around the world.
That's substantive.
