We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role / description: The first paragraph about division, brands, etc. Also "Our Home & Outdoor division is united..." etc. Also "Look around your home..." etc. Also "We are already making your everyday lives better." etc. Also "We are powered by knowledgeable..." etc. Also "Whether you are just starting your career..." etc. This is general company description. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use "About the role" for the introductory description. - Responsibilities: The "What You Will Be Doing" section enumerates many bullet-like sentences. We need to turn them into
  • . Must preserve all substantive info. So list each bullet. - Skills Needed To Be Successful In This Role: That's a "Skills" section. Provide bullet list. - Minimum Qualifications: That's "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction says we have headings Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide where to put Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Likely "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, and maybe "Qualifications" for preferred? But they said "Qualifications" as a heading. Could combine both? But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, and "Preferred Qualifications" maybe not a separate heading; we could incorporate into Requirements? But they said include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. We have both minimum and preferred qualifications. Could make two sections: "Requirements" (minimum) and "Preferred Qualifications". But they only gave list of allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So "Preferred Qualifications" not in list; we could put under "Qualifications". So we can have "Qualifications" heading containing both minimum and preferred qualifications (maybe separate sub-bullets). Or we could have "Requirements" for minimum and "Qualifications" for preferred. That seems reasonable: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications. We'll follow that. - Skills: Already have "Skills Needed To Be Successful In This Role". That's Skills section. - Benefits: Provided list. - Pay: Provided base pay range for NYC. - Schedule: Hybrid schedule details. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. First, About the role: combine paragraphs before "What You Will Be Doing". Let's capture: "Our Home & Outdoor division is united by thoughtful design and lasting quality. From kitchens to campsites, we provide consumers with premium, innovative products for life -- in and out of the home. This business unit includes our OXO, Osprey, and Hydro Flask brands, and this role may support one or more of these brands. Look around your home, and you'll find us everywhere, in your kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. We are already making your everyday lives better. We are powered by knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and forward-thinking people committed to developing a culture of inclusion. Whether you are just starting your career or in need of a challenge, we recognize, develop, and empower talent!" That's the about. Now Responsibilities: The bullet list after "What You Will Be Doing". Let's extract each sentence that starts with a verb. The paragraph: "The Senior Industrial Designer will play a pivotal role in advancing insight-driven design solutions across the Home & Outdoor division for OXO, Hydro Flask, and Osprey. Building on OXO’s legacy of thoughtful, universal design, this individual will create products that simplify everyday experiences through intuitive, user-centered solutions grounded in deep consumer understanding. They will help shape Hydro Flask’s next chapter of growth by developing innovative products that blend performance-driven functionality with clean, iconic design, strengthening the brand’s connection to active and outdoor-inspired lifestyles. In parallel, they will support Osprey’s commitment to purpose-built performance by designing products that embody technical excellence, fit, functional rigor, and user-centered innovation. Working across a diverse portfolio of brands, this designer will translate each brand’s distinct design ethos into compelling, on-brand product solutions. With the guidance of the Senior Director of Industrial Design, Associate Industrial Design Director and partnerships across various business units including engineering and marketing, this individual will be an advocate for design excellence by leveraging consumer insights and cross functional guidance to make strategic design decisions.

We need to split into list items. Some sentences are concatenated without spaces (e.g., "Design and develop new products through strategic thinking and process.Assess user experience..."). We need to separate them. We'll parse by periods and ensure each item is a meaningful responsibility. Let's manually list responsibilities: 1. Play a pivotal role in advancing insight-driven design solutions across the Home & Outdoor division for OXO, Hydro Flask, and Osprey. 2. Create products that simplify everyday experiences through intuitive, user-centered solutions grounded in deep consumer understanding (building on OXO’s legacy of thoughtful, universal design). 3.
