We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, navigation, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Who We Are: description of company culture, vision, etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about company, not role. But we can treat as "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include sections that match content. We have "Who We Are" maybe not exactly those headings but we could map to "About the role"? However "About the role" is more about the job. The posting includes sections: Who We Are, Your Store Journey Starts Here (description of role), What You Will Work On (responsibilities), Who You Will Work With (team), What You Bring (requirements/qualifications), Work Style & Physical Requirements (maybe qualifications/skills), Key Skills (skills), Targeted Pay Range (pay), Benefits mention (benefits), Schedule? There's mention of flexibility to work varying schedules, including evenings, weekends, holidays. That's schedule info. We need to decide which sections to include. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". We have pay range: $15 - $23.00. That's specific. So include Pay section. Benefits: mention comprehensive benefits package, 20% Academy discount, link. That's specific enough. So include Benefits. Schedule: mention flexibility to work varying schedules, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, based on business needs. That's specific. So include Schedule. Responsibilities: "What You Will Work On" includes details. So include Responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications: "What You Bring" includes education, experience, abilities. Also "Work Style & Physical Requirements" includes physical requirements. Could be part of Qualifications or Requirements. We'll decide. Skills: "Key Skills" list: Customer Relations, Cashier, Retail, Operations, Customer Service. Also maybe other skills like engaging customer service skills, basic math, proficiency using computer, etc. Could be in Skills section. We need to avoid duplication. Let's structure:

About the role

maybe combine "Who We Are" and "Your Store Journey Starts Here". But "About the role" could be a brief description of the role. We have "Your Store Journey Starts Here" describing role. Also "Who We Are" is company overview; maybe not needed but could be included as part of About the role? The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can use others? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems we should stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings. Thus: - About the role: combine "Who We Are" and "Your Store Journey Starts Here" maybe? But "Who We Are" is about company, not role. However we could still put it under About the role as context. Or we could omit About the role if we don't have specific role description? We have "Your Store Journey Starts Here" which describes role. So we can put that under About the role. - Responsibilities: "What You Will Work On" and maybe "Who You Will Work With" (collaboration). Could be part of responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe "What You Bring" (education, experience, abilities). Also "Work Style & Physical Requirements" could be under Requirements or Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe separate from Requirements? Hard to differentiate. Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Omit Qualifications if redundant. Let's extract substantive content: About the role: "Your Store Journey Starts Here Our Stores Team Members are the heart of the customer experience. Every day, you bring a friendly attitude, help customers find the gear that fuels their next adventure, share your passion for sports and the outdoors, and keep the store looking sharp and ready for customers. The environment is active, fast paced, and high-energy, which is exactly what makes it fun. Whether you’re guiding someone to the perfect product or learning new skills behind the scenes, you play a key role in helping more people enjoy more sports and outdoors." Also could include "Who We Are" but maybe not needed. Responsibilities: "What You Will Work On In this role, you will help customers enjoy more sports and outdoor activities by making their store visits during their busiest season easier, friendlier, and more productive. You may support customers in sales, cashier, merchandising, and receiving work, giving you a broad view of how the store operates. Your efforts influence service, sales, store readiness, and the overall customer experience. You move where the store and its customers need support most, whether that means helping someone find the right product, completing checkout transactions, preparing merchandise for the sales floor, or keeping pricing and signage accurate. Throughout each shift, the work requires attention to detail, product knowledge, and a willingness to learn new processes. By keeping merchandise organized and store areas ready, you help the team serve customers quickly during a high-volume season." Also "Who You Will Work With You work alongside store team members across cashier, merchandising, receiving, and sales functions. Collaboration is hands-on and fast-moving, with the team shifting attention as customer traffic and store priorities change. Clear communication and dependable follow-through help everyone maintain a welcoming, organized store. You also connect directly with customers, listen to understand what they need, and use store and product knowledge to guide them. Whether you are answering a question, locating an item, or supporting checkout, each interaction contributes to a smooth and friendly visit." This could be part of responsibilities. Requirements: "What You Bring Bring your energy, your ideas, and your love for sports and the outdoors. High school diploma or GED preferredPrevious related work experience preferredAbility to learn and adapt to a wide range of processes and proceduresEngaging customer service skills supported by effective listening and speakingBasic math skills and the ability to understand instructions through reading and writingProficiency using a handheld or desktop computer, point-of-sale equipment, and a telephoneAbility to learn and recall Academy products and services, understand customer needs, and provide assistanceA team-first attitude; while your core duties are your priority, you're happy to step in wherever you're needed" Also "Work Style & Physical Requirements Flexibility to work varying schedules, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, based on business needsCapability to remain on your feet and move throughout the store for extended periods during scheduled shiftsAbility to stand, walk, reach, handle items, and use repetitive hand, wrist, and finger motions throughout the shiftAbility to stoop, crouch, grasp, push, and pull frequently, and balance occasionallyAbility to lift up to 20 lbs constantly, 21 to 40 lbs frequently, and 41 to 60 lbs occasionallyAcceptable level of hearing and vision to perform job duties, including close, distance, color, peripheral, and depth vision and the ability to adjust focusAbility to follow company policies, procedures, professional standards, and safety rules" These could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll put them under Requirements. Skills: "Key Skills Customer Relations, Cashier, Retail, Operations, Customer Service" Also maybe "engaging customer service skills", "basic math skills", "proficiency using handheld or desktop computer", etc. But we can list the key skills as given. Benefits: "Team members may qualify to enroll in a comprehensive benefits package, subject to terms and conditions of respective plans and employment eligibility. Team members are also eligible for a 20% Academy discount. To learn more about our comprehensive benefits package, visit https://careers.academy.com/us/en/benefits." Pay: "Targeted Pay Range: $15 - $23.00. The starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, location, experience, certifications, and position offered. The actual hourly rate will equal or exceed the required minimum wage applicable to the job location. Additional compensation in the form of premiums may be paid in specific circumstances. Premiums may be based on schedule, or specific work performed. Multiple premiums may apply if applicable criteria are met." Schedule: Already covered in Work Style & Physical Requirements: "Flexibility to work varying schedules, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, based on business needs". Could be separate Schedule section. We need to avoid duplication: schedule info appears also in Work Style & Physical Requirements. We could move schedule to Schedule section and keep physical requirements under Requirements. Thus: - About the role: combine Who We Are? Might be okay to include company description as part of About the role. But we might keep it brief. Let's craft HTML:

But that's long; maybe we split into two paragraphs. Responsibilities: combine What You Will Work On and Who You Will Work With.
