We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Company Overview", "Overview", "Key Accountabilities", "Minimum Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Additional Considerations", "SALARY RANGE", "Benefits", "ELIGIBILITY", etc. We need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: Could be the "Overview" paragraph describing role. Use

About the role

then

with that content. - Responsibilities: Key Accountabilities (list). Use

Responsibilities

then
  • each bullet. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (list). Use

    Requirements

    then
      . - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (list). Use

      Qualifications

      then
        . - Skills: maybe from Minimum Qualifications includes skills like process improvement, data extraction, MS Office, Tableau, communication, project management. Could be separate but we can include under Skills heading if we have content. The posting includes skills in Minimum Qualifications and maybe elsewhere. We could create Skills section with bullet list of skills extracted. But we must not invent content; we can list those as they appear. However the instruction: "Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we can put skills list under Skills heading if we have list. The Minimum Qualifications includes bullet-like sentences but not formatted as list. We could convert to list items. That is acceptable as preserving information. - Benefits: The posting mentions "Beyond base salary, General Mills offers a competitive Total Rewards package..." and details. So we can have Benefits section with
            of benefits: health benefits, retirement and financial wellbeing, time off programs, wellbeing support and perks, annual incentive program eligibility. Also mention that benefits may vary. - Pay: Salary range given: $82,400 - $123,800 Annual. So Pay section with

            stating that. - Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule heading. Also we need to include maybe "Additional Considerations" like location, work authorization, relocation not considered. That could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Location & Eligibility". But we only allowed headings from list. Could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications? The location and work auth are not exactly qualifications but could be under Requirements. We could add a

            under Requirements about location and work auth. Or we could create a separate section like "Additional Considerations" but not allowed headings. So we must fold into existing allowed headings. Probably best to put location and work auth under Requirements as a paragraph. Also we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation request, etc. We must not repeat job title. Not include "Company Overview" as heading; we can incorporate into About the role maybe. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. Company Overview paragraph: "We exist to make food the world loves. But we do more than that. Our company is a place that prioritizes being a force for good, a place to expand learning, explore new perspectives and reimagine new possibilities, every day. We look for people who want to bring their best — bold thinkers with big hearts who challenge one another and grow together. Because becoming the undisputed leader in food means surrounding ourselves with people who are hungry for what’s next." Overview paragraph: "The Agency is transforming General Mills marketing capabilities for the future, and this Senior Financial Analyst role offers an opportunity to grow as a finance partner at the intersection of our media, content production, and creative agency investments. You will build trusted partnerships across Consumer Finance, Business Affairs, Media Operations, and business operating units —bringing clarity to complex decisions, connecting teams to shared outcomes, and influencing through thoughtful, data-driven communication. In this role, you will own operational finance across planning, forecasting, reporting, financial controls, and process governance. You will translate financial data into actionable insights, strengthen media and production finance routines, and help ensure that marketing investments are accurately planned, tracked, reconciled, and managed with strong financial discipline.

You will deepen your understanding of marketing finance while building skills in process leadership, strategic problem-solving, and communicating risks and opportunities. A successful candidate will demonstrate financial acumen, situational agility, curiosity, and a genuine interest in helping people and processes perform at their best." We can combine these two paragraphs into About the role. Key Accountabilities bullet list: Let's extract each sentence separated by periods? The text: "Manage the Demand Generation Review flex input process, including coordination of monthly inputs, National Media flex reporting, commentary, and operating-unit handoffs. Provide ad-hoc reporting and financial support for media-related questions, planning opportunities, and business reviews. Continually improve the management of media and advertising expense by strengthening reporting, analytical capabilities, and process effectiveness.

We need to format as list items. Could group under headings but we just need a list. Minimum Qualifications list: - B.A. or B.S in Finance, Accounting, Economics or related field - 2 or more years of relevant experience - Demonstrated bias for action and remain agile as situations evolve - Able to establish processes, make process improvements and effectively organize and coordinate own work - Able to identify and extract the right data from financial systems to provide meaningful analysis and insights. - Proficient with Microsoft Office tools, Tableau dashboards - Effective verbal & written communication skills - Project management skills – ability to proactively manage deadlines, manage multiple priorities, and escalate potential issues Preferred Qualifications: - Large, matrixed organization experience Additional Considerations: - Located at World Headquarters just outside Minneapolis, MN - International relocation or international remote working arrangements (outside of the US) will not be considered. - Applicants for this position must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. - General Mills will not sponsor applicants for this position for work visas.

An incentive award, if any, depends on various factors, including, individual and organizational performance." Eligibility: "Applicants must meet a minimum 18-year age qualification." We need to include Benefits section with list. We need to include Pay section with salary range. We need to include maybe a short paragraph for Additional Considerations under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Location & Eligibility" but not allowed. Could incorporate into Requirements as a paragraph after list. We must not include headings for sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not needed. We must not include Job ID etc. Now produce HTML fragment:

            Located at World Headquarters just outside Minneapolis, MN. International relocation or international remote working arrangements (outside of the US) will not be considered. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; General Mills will not sponsor applicants for this position for work visas. Applicants must meet a minimum 18‑year age qualification.

            • Project management – managing deadlines, multiple priorities, escalating issues
            But we need to ensure we are not inventing content beyond what's in posting. The skills list derived from Minimum Qualifications is okay as it's directly from there. However we must not create new items not present. The items listed are essentially paraphrasing but still derived. Might be okay. However we could instead not have a Skills section and put those under Requirements as part of list. But we already have Requirements list; we could add those skills there. However the Minimum Qualifications already includes those items; we could keep them there. So we may not need separate Skills section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine skills into Requirements. But we already have Requirements list; we can keep them there. Then we might not need Skills heading. We have Qualifications (Preferred) separate. We have Benefits. We have Pay. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's craft: About the role: combine company overview and overview paragraphs. Responsibilities: list from Key Accountabilities. Requirements: list from Minimum Qualifications plus location/work auth/age as paragraph after list. Qualifications: list from Preferred Qualifications. Benefits: list from benefits paragraph. Pay: paragraph with salary range. We should not include Schedule. Now produce HTML. Check for any boilerplate removal: we removed EEO, accommodation request, etc. Make sure we preserve all substantive information: Did we miss any? Let's verify. Company Overview paragraph included. Overview paragraph included. Key Accountabilities all captured. Minimum Qualifications all captured. Preferred Qualifications captured. Additional Considerations: location, relocation not considered, work authorization, visa sponsorship, age qualification captured in Requirements paragraph. Benefits: health benefits, retirement and financial wellbeing, time off programs, wellbeing support and perks, annual incentive program eligibility, note that benefits may vary. Pay: salary range. We also need to include the statement about Total Rewards package focusing on overall well-being. That's part of benefits. We also need to include "Beyond base salary, General Mills offers a competitive Total Rewards package focusing on your overall well-being." We'll include that in benefits paragraph or as a bullet. We'll create Benefits
              with items: - Competitive Total Rewards package focusing on overall well-being - Foundation of health benefits - Retirement and financial wellbeing - Time off programs - Wellbeing support and perks - Eligibility for annual incentive program (award depends on
