Senior or Executive Editor, Original Publishing
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. Need to parse the job posting.
We have sections: About Our Company (but we should not repeat job title as heading; we can have About the role? The posting includes "About Our Company" then "Job Summary". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content.
Let's extract content:
- About the role: Could be "Job Summary" describing role: Senior or Executive Editor, Original Publishing; commission and acquire books; reporting to Publishing Director; develop trade list; acquire/edit 10-15 original books per year; creative ideation; works with authors, agents, editorial, design, production, marketing; experience sourcing images; final title based on experience.
We can put that under About the role
with paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: The "What you’ll do:" list bullet points. Those are duties. So we can put under Responsibilities
with - each bullet.
- Requirements: The "The ideal candidate has:" list bullet points. Those are requirements/qualifications. Could split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills? The instruction allows sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide how to split. The ideal candidate list includes: 8+ years experience, senior editorial experience, managing multiple projects, delivering projects to deadline, managing freelance teams, communication skills, problem solving, initiative, understanding of publishing/entertainment/pop culture, interest in anime/manga a plus, Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
We could treat these as Requirements (experience, education) and Skills (communication, problem solving, etc.) and Qualifications maybe overlapping. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one
Requirements
with all bullet points. Or we could split into Requirements (experience, education) and Skills (soft skills). Let's see if we have enough content for each.
We also have Work Environment & Schedule: location, onsite expectations, schedule (Regular Full-Time 40 hours, core hours 10am-4pm), compensation ($95k-115k), benefits list.
Thus we have sections: Pay, Schedule, Benefits, maybe Work Environment (location) could be part of Schedule or separate? Not in list but we could include location under Schedule or maybe under About the role? The instruction only lists those headings; we can include location under Schedule or maybe under About the role? Probably better to put location under Schedule (since schedule includes location info). But schedule heading is for schedule details; location could be separate but not in allowed headings. Could we add a section like "Work Environment"? Not in list; but we could incorporate location into Schedule section as a paragraph.
Thus we will have sections:
- About the role (job summary)
- Responsibilities (what you’ll do)
- Requirements (ideal candidate has)
- Benefits (list)
- Pay (compensation)
- Schedule (work schedule, location, core hours, remote expectations)
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting includes "$95,000 - $115,000 annually, depending on experience, with additional variable compensation". That's specific, so Pay section is valid.
Schedule: "This is a Regular Full-Time position (40 hours per week) with core hours of 10 am to 4 pm with flexibility outside of core hours." Also location info: "Location: The Senior/Executive Editor, Original Publishing position is open to candidates residing and working in California, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, or Texas. If local to the San Francisco Bay Area, 1-2 days of work onsite at our downtown San Francisco office is expected weekly. If remote, the Editor should expect to travel to San Francisco 3-4 times per year." That's specific.
Benefits: list of benefits.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, scam warning, privacy policy, etc. Also remove "About Our Company" maybe? The instruction says 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. The "About Our Company" is not a heading we need; we can incorporate that into About the role? Actually About the role is separate; we could include a brief paragraph about company under About the role or maybe we can drop it because it's not required? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep company description. Where to put it? Could be part of About the role (makes sense). Or we could create a separate section like "About the Company" but not in allowed headings. So we incorporate into About the role.
Thus About the role will include both company description and job summary.
Now we need to format: Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must output ONLY the HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's craft.
