We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes mission description, role description. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

    or drop it. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the GenAI tools, EEO, scam warning, accommodation, etc. Also remove "Additional Compensation And Benefits" maybe we keep benefits and pay if present. The posting includes: "Additional Compensation And Benefits For roles in the U.S., dependent on your role, you may be eligible for variable pay, such as an annual bonus and restricted stock. Benefits may include medical, dental and vision benefits, Flexible Spending Accounts (F.S.A.s), a company-matching 401(k) plan, employee stock purchase plan, paid vacation, paid sick days, paid parental leave, tuition reimbursement and professional development programs. For roles outside of the U.S., information on benefits will be provided during the interview process. The annual base pay range for this role is between: $124,979.94 - $152,000 USD". So we have pay range and benefits. So we should include a Benefits section and a Pay section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Benefits and Pay into one section? But they said include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have both benefits and pay specifics. Could make separate sections: Benefits and Pay. Or combine into "Compensation and Benefits". But they said use headings like Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have separate headings if content exists. We'll include both. Also we have Schedule: "This position is based in New York and requires four days a week in the office. There may be some flexibility to work remotely per your departmental guidance." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Responsibilities: list of duties. We'll put under

    Responsibilities

    with
    • . Qualifications: Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. Use heading Requirements or Qualifications. We'll use

      Qualifications

      and list both basic and preferred as list items? Might separate Basic and Preferred but they said prefer few substantive sections. Could have one Qualifications section with subheadings? But we cannot use other headings besides those listed? The instruction: use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use any of those. We could have Requirements and Qualifications separate but that's thin. Better to have Qualifications section containing both basic and preferred. We'll list items. Skills: maybe we can extract skills like video editing with Adobe Premiere, facility using photo, video, audio, graphics, animation, news judgment, reporting skills, etc. Could put under Skills. About the role: we have mission description and role overview. Could put under About the role. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, GenAI tools, accommodation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all specifics: mission statement, role description, responsibilities list, qualifications list (basic and preferred), skills maybe, benefits, pay range, schedule. We must not include "Additional Compensation And Benefits" heading; we will use Benefits and Pay sections. We must not include "Req-020704" as heading; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop. We must not include "Candidate Use Of GenAI Tools" etc. We must not include EEO etc. We must not include "The New York Times Company is committed to being the world's best source..." etc. We must not include "All applications will receive consideration..." etc. We must not include "The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)’s Know Your Rights Poster is available here." etc. We must not include "Individuals seeking an accommodation..." etc. We must not include "Please beware of fraudulent job postings..." etc. We must not include "The New York Times will not ask job applicants for financial information..." etc. We must not include "If you see a fake or fraudulent job posting..." etc. We must not include "For information about The New York Times' privacy practices for job applicants, click here." etc. We must not include "The New York Times Company will provide reasonable accommodations..." etc. We must not include "We’re excited to learn more about you and your experience..." etc (that's part of GenAI tools paragraph). Remove. We must not include "To keep our hiring process as fair and authentic as possible..." etc. We must not include "If you’re an engineering candidate..." etc. We must not include "The New York Times Company is committed to being the world’s best source..." etc. We must not include "To do so, we embrace a diverse workforce..." etc (EEO). Remove. We must not include "We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply." etc. We must not include "We are an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. We must not include "All applications will receive consideration..." etc. We must not include "The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)’s Know Your Rights Poster is available here." etc. We must not include "The New York Times Company will provide reasonable accommodations..." etc. We must not include "Individuals seeking an accommodation for the application or interview process should email reasonable.accommodations@nytimes.com." etc. We must not include "Emails sent for unrelated issues, such as following up on an application, will not receive a response." etc. We must not include "For information about The New York Times' privacy practices for job applicants, click here." etc. We must not include "Please beware of fraudulent job postings..." etc. We must not include "Scammers may post fraudulent job opportunities..." etc. We must not include "All legitimate job opportunities from The New York Times will be accessible through The New York Times careers site." etc. We must not include "The New York Times will not ask job applicants for financial information or for payment, and will not refer you to a third party to do so." etc. We must not include "You should never send money to anyone who suggests they can provide employment with The New York Times." etc. We must not include "If you see a fake or fraudulent job posting, or if you suspect you have received a fraudulent offer, you can report it to The New York Times at NYTapplicants@nytimes.com." etc. We must not include "You can also file a report with the Federal Trade Commission or your state attorney general." etc. Now we need to extract substantive content. Let's parse the posting: - Mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for. - Times Opinion is hiring a senior video journalist. You will focus on original reporting, producing and editing of our enterprise video journalism. You have extensive journalism experience and are passionate about making videos that live at the intersection of news, opinion and documentary film. You have an extensive track record of pitching, producing and editing timely, visual, impact-driven digital video. You will work with a high degree of autonomy in developing and pushing story lines beyond what is already in the pages of the Times. You are eager to innovate, thrive on collaboration and have strong news judgment. You're a self-starter who can dig deep and craft nuanced storytelling, but you're equally excited to jump on breaking news. You can spot trends, generate scoops and have a track record of juggling multiple projects at once. This position is based in New York and requires four days a week in the office. There may be some flexibility to work remotely per your departmental guidance. - Responsibilities: Pitch original groundbreaking journalism. Produce, report and script and edit enterprise video stories. Oversee the work of cinematographers and editors and other collaborators. Identify news and enterprise opportunities that are journalistically powerful and visually transformative. Collaborate with visual editors to develop video formats that bring our best journalism to new audiences. Work closely with video leaders and other Opinion writers to ensure our work follows newsroom standards. Must be able to handle newsroom deadlines and juggle multiple projects. Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world. You will report to a Senior Producer. - Basic Qualifications: 8+ years of journalism experience, including multimedia storytelling, video producing and editing, production experience at a major news organization or production company. Experience producing shoots and interviewing experts on camera. Experience creating original videos that incorporate audio, video, still images, graphics and text. Excellent news judgment and reporting skills, with a proven ability to work with colleagues and other reporters to synthesize newsgathering and/or investigations into a tight, informative and engaging video. Video editing skills with Adobe Premiere. Facility in using photo, video, audio, graphics and animation in storytelling. - Preferred Qualifications: Experience with open source reporting. Experience working collaboratively with members of a multidisciplinary team. Available to work a flexible schedule. - Additional Compensation And Benefits: For roles in the U.S., dependent on your role, you may be eligible for variable pay, such as an annual bonus and restricted stock. Benefits may include medical, dental and vision benefits, Flexible Spending Accounts (F.S.A.s), a company-matching 401(k) plan, employee stock purchase plan, paid vacation, paid sick days, paid parental leave, tuition reimbursement and professional development programs. For roles outside of the U.S., information on benefits will be provided during the interview process. The annual base pay range for this role is between: $124,979.94 - $152,000 USD We also have "This position is represented by the NewsGuild of NY." That's substantive; maybe include under About the role or a separate section? Could be under About the role or maybe under Qualifications? It's a union representation. Could include in About the role as a note. We must not include "REQ-020704" as heading; we can drop or put in a short p. Probably drop. Now we need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role (mission, role description, union representation) - Responsibilities - Qualifications (basic + preferred) - Skills (maybe extract from qualifications) - Benefits - Pay - Schedule But we should avoid too many thin sections. Could combine Skills into Qualifications. Could combine Benefits and Pay into Compensation and Benefits. But they said headings like Benefits, Pay, Schedule. If we combine, we might lose specificity. However we can still have Benefits and Pay separate; they are substantive. Schedule: we have schedule info. Thus we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections, each substantive. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to format. Use

      for each heading. Inside each section, use

      for prose,

      • for lists. For About the role: we have multiple paragraphs. Could combine into one

        or multiple

        .
