Senior Designer, Knits & Activewear

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (but we already have About Us and About The Role). The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). 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. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Content: - About Us: description of KnitWell Group, brands, mission, etc. This is substantive. Should we include as a section? The allowed headings list includes "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Not "About Us". But we can still include a section? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. However, we need to preserve all substantive info. Could we embed About Us in a

without heading? Probably yes. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but likely they expect we use those headings for sections that exist. The posting includes "About Us" and "About The Role". We could treat "About Us" as a heading? Not in list but could be okay. However they said "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies those are the typical sections we might have. But we can still have other headings if needed. Safer to follow instruction: use

for section headings; we can still use

for About Us and About The Role. The examples are not exhaustive. So we can have

About Us

and

About The Role

. Then within those we can have paragraphs and lists. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation, etc. Also remove "Applicants to this position must be authorized to work for any employer in the US without sponsorship. We are not providing sponsorship for this position." That's maybe minor metadata but could be kept? It's not a heading; we could fold into a short

. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can keep that info in a

. Also remove "Location: New York Office Position Type Regular/Full time". That's minor metadata; we can put in a

. Also remove "On-site: This position works on-site at least 4 days per week consistent with the needs of the business at our Times Square office location in New York, NY." That's schedule info; we could include in Schedule section if present. The posting does state on-site requirement: at least 4 days per week. That's schedule info. So we should create a Schedule section with that detail. Also Pay: "The target salary range for this role is: $115,000 - $130,000". So we need a Pay section. Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph with bullet points? Actually it's a paragraph with sentences separated by periods. We need to turn into

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to parse benefits into list items. Benefits text: "You will be eligible to receive a merchandise discount at select KnitWell Group brands, subject to each brand’s discount policies.Support for your individual development plus opportunities for career mobility within our family of brands. A culture of giving back – local volunteer opportunities, annual donation and volunteer match to eligible nonprofit organizations, and philanthropic activities to support our communities.* Medical, dental, vision insurance & 401(K).* Employee Assistance Program (EAP).Time off – paid time off & holidays.*The target salary range for this role is: $115,000 - $130,000Any job offer will consider factors such your qualifications, relevant experience, and skills. Eligibility of certain benefits and associate programs are subject to employment type and role." We need to separate benefits items: merchandise discount, support for individual development + career mobility, culture of giving back (local volunteer opportunities, annual donation and volunteer match..., philanthropic activities), Medical, dental, vision insurance & 401(K), Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Time off – paid time off & holidays. Also note that the salary range is already captured in Pay section, so we should not duplicate in Benefits. Also "Any job offer will consider factors such your qualifications, relevant experience, and skills." is not a benefit; it's generic; we could drop or fold into a short

  . Also "Eligibility of certain benefits and associate programs are subject to employment type and role." is a note; could be a short

  . Now Responsibilities: The posting has a lot of bullet-like sentences under "About The Role". We need to extract responsibilities. The section "About The Role" includes description: "The Senior Designer will work with the Senior Director, Design initiate concepts each season that are reflective of the creative vision, Haven aesthetic & customer. You will be a part of a creative environment, collaborating with talented designers and cross-functional partners across the business. The primary function of this role is to innovate and develop new design ideas each season. The impact you can have Lead design research for knitwear from initial concept stage.Research global and domestic markets to identify new trends, innovate fabrics and techniquesCreate and execute innovative design concepts to fill the needs of the line plan and accounting for departmental development and adoption ratios.Executes silhouette, fit and styling directionDrive seasonal framework to ensure creative ideas and business goals are alignedSet seasonal fabric direction; work with Fabric R&D on research and development of qualitiesBuild and maintain good relationships, communication with Product Development, Merchandising and Sourcing teamsPresent collection at Sketch Presentation and Line PresentationAdhere to cross-functional calendar and attends all meetings as requiredApprove and oversee execution of tech packsMaintain awareness of overall merchandising vision as the line is designedContinue to develop and increase understanding of Haven Well Within customerMentor, coach and counsel direct reports on performance expectationsFoster a positive, challenging work environmentDrive the seasonal framework to ensure creative ideas and business goals are aligned." We need to turn these into a list under Responsibilities. Also there is a duplicated line "Drive the seasonal framework to ensure creative ideas and business goals are aligned." appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicated lines are considered duplicated lines; we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate. Also there is "You’ll bring to the role Degree in Fashion Design10+ years relevant experiencePrior Knits/Active design experienceSuperior time and project management skills; able to pivot and multi-task across multiple seasonsEffective communicator with an eye on successfully managing expectationsStrong management skillsAbility to sketch, CAD and execute flats and technical sketches.Knowledge and experience working with pattern makers, sample makers, technical designersGood written and verbal presentation skills." That's qualifications/requirements/skills. We need to separate into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections as appropriate. The instruction: we should have sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have qualifications: Degree in Fashion Design, 10+ years relevant experience, Prior Knits/Active design experience. Skills: Superior time and project management skills; able to pivot and multi-task across multiple seasons; Effective communicator with an eye on successfully managing expectations; Strong management skills; Ability to sketch, CAD and execute flats and technical sketches; Knowledge and experience working with pattern makers, sample makers, technical designers; Good written and verbal presentation skills. Also maybe "Requirements" could be same as qualifications? We can combine or separate. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have Qualifications and Skills sections, maybe combine Requirements into Qualifications. But we have both qualifications and skills distinct. We'll make Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (abilities). Also maybe Requirements could be same as Qualifications; but we can omit Requirements if we think it's thin. However we have qualifications content, so we can have Qualifications section. Skills section. Now About Us: we can have a section About Us (maybe not required but we can include). The instruction: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid About Us. We'll include. Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation, etc. Also remove "The Company is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "If you require an accommodation..." etc. Also remove "The Company will make reasonable accommodations..." etc. Also remove "The Company will not revoke or alter a job offer..." etc. Also remove "Applicants to this position must be authorized to work for any employer in the US without sponsorship. We are not providing sponsorship for this position." That's minor metadata; we can fold into a short

  maybe under About Us or after. Also "Location: New York Office Position Type Regular/Full time" minor metadata. Now we need to ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
