Senior Analyst, Assortment

for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points exactly? We can rephrase but must keep substance. Probably okay to keep as bullet points. We must remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove the accommodation contact line. Let's extract content. Original text: "The Senior Assortment Analyst owns the analytical framework behind assortment planning, productivity measurement, and new item performance. This role sets the SKU-level methodology the business plans against and delivers the recommendations that shape what we carry, how deep we buy, and when we exit. Working within the Merchandise Planning & Analytics organization, the Senior Analyst designs and owns assortment productivity reporting, leads rationalization analysis end to end, and owns the analytical model behind new product introduction forecasting and post-launch scorecarding. The role also sets analytical standards for the team and provides technical guidance to less experienced analysts. This is a senior individual contributor role with direct influence over assortment decisions, regular exposure to Merchant and Planning leadership, and a clear path toward Manager-level roles in merchandise planning or analytics." That's prose for About the role. Then "Key Responsibilities" heading followed by bullet points under subheadings: Assortment Analytics, New Item & Program Performance, Reporting & Partnership. We need to turn each bullet into

? But only allowed headings are

for section headings. We could keep subheadings as or just part of

text. Simpler: treat each bullet as

and include the subheading text inside.
