Senior Trust Officer - Senior Fiduciary Specialist
About the role
with paragraphs describing BL&T, role overview, location maybe.Responsibilities
with- list of duties from "In This Role, You Will".
Requirements
maybe for Required Qualifications.Qualifications
for Desired Qualifications? Actually we have Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. So we can put Required Qualifications underRequirements
and Desired Qualifications underQualifications
. Or we could put all under Qualifications. But better to follow: Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = desired.Skills
maybe we could extract skills from desired qualifications (communication, organizational, conflict resolution, etc). But we already have those in Qualifications. Could still create Skills section summarizing skills like communication, organizational, conflict resolution, teamwork, etc. However we must not create thin sections; we should only include if there is real specific content. The desired qualifications list includes many skill-like items. Could place them under Qualifications. Might be okay to not have Skills section. But we have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule. No Benefits, Pay. Skills maybe we could extract but we already have Qualifications covering skills; but we could still create Skills section if we want to highlight specific skills like communication, organizational, conflict resolution, etc. However that would be duplicative. Better to omit Skills if not needed. Thus final HTML:About the role

Schedule
This position offers a hybrid work schedule.
We must not include any other sections like Benefits, Pay. Also we should not include any boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship etc. However visa sponsorship mention is part of Job Expectations; we could maybe include that under Schedule or a separate note? The instruction says we can include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state hybrid work schedule. The visa sponsorship and compliance policies are not schedule; they could be omitted as they are not under allowed headings. We could fold them into a short p under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to drop them as they are not essential? But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that info somewhere. Where can we put it? Allowed headings are limited; we could add a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities that mentions visa sponsorship and compliance policies. That would preserve the info without creating a new heading. So we should include that info. Thus modify About the role or add a paragraph after responsibilities maybe under About the role? Let's add a paragraph under About the role after location: "This position is not eligible for Visa sponsorship. Specific compliance policies may apply regarding outside activities and/or personal investing; affected employees will be expected to provide information to the Wells Fargo Personal Account Dealing Team and abide by applicable policy requirements if hired." Also mention that information will be shared about expectations during recruitment process. We should also keep the posting end date? That's minor metadata; we could fold into a short p under About the role or drop? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; posting end date is substantive? It
