SIMON | Assistant Corporate Controller

We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We need to preserve all substantive sections: About the role (maybe from job summary), Responsibilities (main responsibilities), Qualifications (education, maybe certifications), Skills (list), Benefits, Pay (compensation), Schedule (maybe remote work flexibility, location). Also maybe "Physical Requirements" but not a standard heading; we can ignore or incorporate into something else? The instruction says use those headings only. So we should map content accordingly. We need to extract: - About the role: The job summary paragraph: "Responsible for supporting the Company’s corporate accounting, financial reporting, internal controls, compliance, and financial analysis functions across a complex, multi-entity organization. Partners with corporate and regional finance teams to promote accuracy, consistency, accountability, and continuous improvement while developing the technical, analytical, and leadership capabilities required for future higher-level controller responsibilities. This position is ideal for someone located in Southeast Wyoming or Northern Colorado. The role is primarily office-based in Cheyenne and Longmont, while offering occasional remote work flexibility when appropriate." We can put that in
