Senior Portfolio Consultant (Mountain or Pacific Time Zones)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them. So we need to include sections that have content.
Let's parse the posting.
First part: "Why Work at Mercer Advisors? ..." This is about the company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "Why Work at Mercer Advisors?" is more about company culture. Could be "About the role"? Might be better as "About Mercer Advisors" but we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those exact headings. We need to decide which sections are present.
We have a "Job Summary" paragraph describing role. That could be under "About the role". Then "Essential Job Functions Will Include" with bullet-like sentences (though not bullet list). We can treat those as responsibilities. Then "Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" includes education, certifications, experience, etc. That could be split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting lists: Bachelor's degree preferred, CFP® and/or Series 65 required, CFA or advanced degree preferred, Minimum 4 years experience, Working knowledge of Orion and Morningstar preferred, Advanced knowledge of MS Excel preferred, Strong problem-solving experience and skills, Excellent analytical and organizational skills, Strong communication skills, Organized and detail oriented, Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks. So we can categorize: Requirements: Bachelor's degree preferred, CFP® and/or Series 65 required, Minimum 4 years experience. Qualifications: CFA or advanced degree preferred, Working knowledge of Orion and Morningstar preferred, Advanced knowledge of MS Excel preferred. Skills: Strong problem-solving, Excellent analytical and organizational skills, Strong communication skills, Organized and detail oriented, Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks.
Then location and schedule: "Location: This is a remote position with a strong preference for candidates in the Mountain or Pacific time zones. Work Schedule: This professional role requires availability during standard business hours of Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM. At times, the role may have early or late hours to meet business tasks and deadlines for external and internal client needs. Working Conditions: ..." So we have schedule info. Also "Travel assumed up to 10% of the time." That could be part of schedule or working conditions. We'll include Schedule section with details.
Pay: "Actual base pay within this range will be based on a variety of factors... Base Pay Range $89,250 - $105,000 USD". Also mention incentive compensation. So we have Pay section.
Benefits: long list of benefits. So Benefits section.
We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO, equal opportunity, unsolicited resumes, accommodation request, etc. Also remove "Application Deadline" maybe? That's application instruction; we should remove application instructions. The instruction says: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop "Application Deadline: The initial deadline for applications is 10/10/2026..." and subsequent sentences about rolling basis, encourage to apply early, etc. Also drop "We are not accepting unsolicited resumes..." and EEO statements, accommodation request, etc. Also drop "If you need an accommodation..." etc. Also drop "Mercer Advisors participates in E-Verify..." etc. Also drop "If you are a resident of California..." etc. Also drop the footnote about ranking methodology etc? That's part of why work at Mercer Advisors? It includes some info about ranking; we should keep substantive info about ranking? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the ranking info as part of "Why Work at Mercer Advisors?" maybe under About the role? It's about the company. It's substantive. So keep it.
We also need to keep the "Why Work at Mercer Advisors?" paragraph and the ranking details. That's fine.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
About the role

Then Job Summary: maybe incorporate into About the role? The Job Summary paragraph: "The Senior Portfolio Consultant I assumes a critical role..." That's definitely about the role.

Thus About the role section will contain both company overview and job summary.
Now Responsibilities: we need to list duties. The "Essential Job Functions Will Include" includes multiple bullet-like sentences. We'll turn each into - .
