That's about the company; could be "About the role" or "About Edward Jones". The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading and include description of role and maybe company overview. But we also have a description of the role: "Edward Jones is seeking a highly skilled individual to serve as a Senior Consultant within a newly created Strategic Advisory team. This individual will be a key member of an advisory pod that will work with Enterprise and Business Segment Leaders to help advise and evaluate strategies for high-impact enterprise undertakings and growth initiatives. This role will support these strategic efforts, facilitate decision making exercises and strategy workshops, develop options and recommendations, and conduct scenario analysis." Then "What you will do..." bullet list (actually lines). Then "What You Will Need" bullet list (requirements). Then location expectation: "Candidates that live within a commutable distance from our Tempe, AZ, St. Louis, MO home office locations, and/or that work within a Talent Capability and Generations Hub are expected to work in the office four days per week." That's schedule info (office 4 days per week). Also "Any changes in strategic direction will be determined by the General Partner responsible for the business segment." Not needed. Then benefits: "At Edward Jones, we are building a place where everyone feels like they belong. We're proud of our associates' contributions to the firm and the recognitions we have received.

We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc? Actually we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the "Check out our U.S. awards..." lines maybe not needed? They are not substantive? Might be considered fluff. But we can keep them as part of "About the role"? However they are not essential; but instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The awards lines are not substantive? They are maybe not needed but they are part of posting. However they are not essential to role; but we could keep them under "About the role" as they are about the firm. However they are somewhat promotional; but we can keep. We must not include duplicated lines. There's duplication of "Check out our U.S. awards and accolades: Insights & Information Blog Postings about Edward Jones" appears twice (US and Canada). We can keep one? Might be considered duplicated; we should remove duplicate lines. So we can keep a single line referencing awards. We must not include application instructions (none present). Good. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
This job posting is anticipated to remain open for 30 days, from 24‑Sep‑2026. The posting may close early due to the volume of applicants.
