We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph: "The Senior Pricing Analyst owns the analytical foundation behind pricing decisions across the enterprise. This role owns competitive price intelligence, the recurring pricing analytics suite, and the analysis and recommendations behind price architecture, promotional strategy, and markdown decisions. Reporting into the Pricing organization, the Senior Analyst partners with Merchants, Merchandise Finance, and Marketing to develop and defend price point recommendations, evaluate promotional effectiveness, and shape markdown strategy. The role also sets analytical and control standards for pricing and provides technical guidance to less experienced analysts. This is a senior individual contributor role for an analytical professional who can move from data to recommendation independently, hold a point of view in front of senior stakeholders, and build deep expertise in retail pricing." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" heading. - "Who We Are At Bob’s, we have fun, we love what we do, and it shows in our expansive growth! Bob’s Discount Furniture is more than just a furniture store. We are one of the fastest growing omni-channel furniture retailers in the country with over 200 stores!" That's company description; could be part of About the role or separate "About the company". But headings list only includes certain ones; we could put under "About the role" or maybe not needed. We can include as part of About the role. - "How We Will Support You At Bob’s we understand there are many companies you can choose to work for, so, along with exceptional opportunities for career growth we offer a fun team-oriented work environment and great benefits! Let us tell you more." Then Benefits & Perks list. We need Benefits section if specific content. Yes, there is a list of benefits. - "Culture and Core Values- At Bob's we have a set of core values that shape the decisions we make every day and help define our company culture. These values comprise what we call "The Bob's Way." Honesty, Integrity, Transparency, Community, Safety, Diversity, Accountability and Fun. DIVERSITY IS A CORE VALUE AT BOB’S At Bob’s Discount Furniture, we want you to feel at home...." That's culture; not a listed heading but could be part of Benefits? Not exactly. Could be omitted if no heading. But we could include under "About the role" maybe. - "Learn and Grow- We believe in developing our team members and helping them grow both personally and professionally! We promote Professional Development: In-person, virtually and offer an infinite library of on-demand classes in Workday Learning. We also offer Tuition Reimbursement as well as the BDF Education Foundation Scholarship Program open to employees and their dependents. Want to grow at Bob’s professionally? We look to promote from within our organization by having robust succession planning in place to ensure that our team members have the opportunity to advance their careers." That's also benefits/learning; could be part of Benefits. - Then "Key Responsibilities" with bullet points. - Then "Reporting & Data Management" etc. - Then "Governance & Execution". - Then "Success Metrics". - Then "Required Competencies". - Then "Preferred Competencies". - Then "Exposure to elasticity modeling, or to Expected Base Pay Not Including Potential Commissions, Incentive, Bonus, etc. Opportunities: $75,000 - $95,000". That's pay info. - Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove. Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe combine intro and who we are), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities plus sub-sections?), Requirements (maybe Required Competencies), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Competencies?), Skills (maybe list skills from Required Competencies), Benefits (list benefits), Pay (salary range), Schedule (not mentioned, so omit). Also maybe "Success Metrics" not a standard heading; we could incorporate into Responsibilities or Requirements? But we should only use allowed headings. Could we add a custom heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings only? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings when appropriate. Not to invent others. So we should map content to those headings. Thus: - About the role: include description of role, who we are, how we support you, culture, learn and grow maybe. - Responsibilities: include Key Responsibilities, Reporting & Data Management, Governance & Execution, Success Metrics? Success Metrics maybe not responsibilities but could be under Responsibilities as evaluation criteria. Could also be under Requirements? But better to put under Responsibilities as they describe what success looks like. - Requirements: Required Competencies (education, experience, skills). - Qualifications: Preferred Competencies. - Skills: maybe list specific skills like Excel, SQL, etc. But we already have them in Required Competencies. Could split: Required Competencies as Requirements, Preferred as Qualifications, and Skills as a separate list of technical skills (Excel, SQL, Power BI/Tableau, etc.). But we must not repeat info unnecessarily; but we can still list them. Better: Use Requirements for education/experience, Qualifications for preferred, Skills for technical skills (Excel, SQL, Power BI/Tableau, etc.). Ensure we don't lose info. Benefits: list benefits. Pay: salary range. Schedule: not present, omit. Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation contact, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment.
