We need to output HTML fragment with sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, maybe About Us? The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: description paragraph(s). The posting starts: "Description About the role. We are looking for a creative Brand Strategist with hands-on food & beverage experience who thinks big, can steer our internal vision, and can help shape the visions of our clients. The Strategist is a multi-talented professional who is practiced in thinking critically about restaurant brands and F&B businesses, crafting inspiring strategic narratives, and developing clear solutions to ambiguous problems. This role is specifically suited to someone who has experience working in restaurants, foodservice, food & beverage brands, hospitality, or a closely related F&B environment and is excited by the opportunity to build the brands and experiences of the future. You should be genuinely curious about how people eat, drink, shop, dine, and experience brands, and be able to translate that curiosity into meaningful business and brand strategy. Above all, the Strategist demonstrates a passion for the food and beverage industry and an ability to work collaboratively, nimbly, and effectively. Sound like you? Read on." That's the About the role. - Responsibilities: after "Responsibilities Join us. We are committed to creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace..." Actually there is a weird duplication: "Responsibilities Join us. We are committed to creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. Our goals and commitments are shaped and strengthened by our team. There is more work to be done. Join us, and help us build a future where all voices are heard and everyone can feel they belong. Responsibilities. As a Strategist, you will..." So there is some DEI statement then responsibilities list. We need to extract responsibilities bullet list: The bullet points after "As a Strategist, you will...": - Co-create compelling and grounded strategies with a diverse team of collaborators to create world-class F&B experiences for some of the largest and smallest brands in the world. - Support Senior Strategists in guiding projects from problem definition through strategic recommendation. - Support in translating consumer, cultural, competitive, and category insights into clear strategic opportunities. - Collaborate with internal teams to develop strategic narratives, frameworks, and presentations employing captivating storytelling and a keen visual aesthetic. - Bring a strong understanding of the restaurant and F&B landscape to client challenges and strategic conversations. - Help identify emerging food, beverage, restaurant, hospitality, and consumer trends and understand their implications for brands and businesses. We should include these as

    • . - Qualifications: after "Qualifications Your Experience And Skills". The text includes bullet-like sentences. Let's extract: We are looking for someone with existing experience in food and beverage. Restaurant, foodservice, hospitality, food & beverage CPG brands, or related experience is highly valued and is a priority for this role. 2+ years of professional experience in brand strategy, consulting, marketing strategy, innovation, product development, or a related strategic discipline. Hands-on experience working in food & beverage, ideally with a restaurant, foodservice company, F&B brand, hospitality business, or agency/consultancy serving these industries. A genuine passion for restaurant and F&B brands and an interest in how consumers experience them. A strong understanding of consumer trends and their business implications, and the ability to distinguish a meaningful trend from a fad, particularly in the food world. A passion for brand storytelling and the ability to turn complex thinking into compelling, easy-to-understand narratives. Strong presentation skills and a keen visual sensibility. You know how to build a great deck and understand how content, narrative, and imagery work together to make an idea memorable. Confidence working directly with clients and presenting strategic thinking with composure, clarity, and enthusiasm. The ability to write and deliver presentations that are to-the-point, memorable, and impactful. The ability to work closely and collaboratively with cross-functional teams and a willingness to learn as you go. In your cover letter, please address the following. About you and TCE: Why are you interested in joining our team? About business strategy: Describe a challenging strategy project or problem that you were involved with. What made it challenging for you? How did you approach the problem? And what was the ultimate insight and outcome? About F&B innovation: If you came to work at TCE, which company, product or service would you want to redesign? We need to decide whether to include the cover letter prompts as part of Qualifications? They are instructions for application; we should remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the cover letter prompts. Also "In your cover letter, please address the following." is application instruction; remove. Thus Qualifications section includes the bullet points before that. Also there is "About Us" section after Qualifications. Should we include an "About Us" heading? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "About Us" is not in the list but could be considered similar to "About the role"? However they said use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They didn't forbid other headings, but they gave examples. Probably we should stick to those headings; "About Us" could be considered similar to "About the role"? But we already have About the role. The "About Us" is about the company; maybe we could treat it as "About the role"? No, it's separate. The instruction: "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are typical but not exclusive? Safer to include only those headings that have content. The posting includes "About Us" which is substantive. Could we treat it as "About the role"? No. Could we create a section "About Us" using

      ? The examples didn't list it but didn't forbid. However they said "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are the expected headings; we could still use About Us but might be considered not following instruction. Safer to omit About Us? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop it. However we could fold About Us content into another section like "About the role"? That would misrepresent. Perhaps we can include a generic heading like "About Us" as

      . The instruction didn't say we cannot use other headings; just gave examples. I'd include About Us as

      . But we need to check if any other sections like "Skills" could be derived from Qualifications? Possibly we could split Qualifications into Skills and Experience? But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we keep Qualifications as one section. Also there is salary range: "Salary Range: $70000.00 - $84000.00". That is Pay info. So we should include a Pay section with that info. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary range, so we include Pay. Also there is schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule. Benefits? Not mentioned explicitly. So no Benefits. Requirements? Could be same as Qualifications; but we already have Qualifications. Could we rename to Requirements? The instruction list includes Requirements as possible heading. But we have Qualifications content; we could use either. Since they gave both, we need to decide. The posting says "Qualifications Your Experience And Skills". So heading Qualifications is appropriate. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, About Us, Pay. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines, boilerplate. Remove EEO etc. Also remove "Job Category: Marketing Position Type: Full time Business Unit: Corporate Salary Range: $70000.00 - $84000.00 Company: The CORE Group-Payroll, LLC Req ID: 39946 Employer Description: US\CORE\FS\EMP\DESC". That's metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it. Salary range we already captured in Pay. The rest (Job Category, Position Type, Business Unit, Company, Req ID, Employer Description) are minor metadata; we could either drop or include in a short paragraph. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it." So we could include a short

      with that info, maybe after Pay? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Is Job Category substantive? Probably not essential but still info. We could include a short paragraph after Pay: "

      Job Category: Marketing | Position Type: Full time | Business Unit: Corporate | Company: The CORE Group-Payroll, LLC | Req ID: 39946

      " Employer Description maybe not needed. We'll include that. Also we need to remove duplicated lines: there is duplicated "Responsibilities" etc. We'll ensure only one. Now craft HTML. Structure:

      About the role

      ... paragraph ...

      Responsibilities

      • ...
      • ...

      Qualifications

      • ...

      Job Category: Marketing | Position Type: Full time | Business Unit: Corporate | Company: The CORE Group-Payroll, LLC | Req ID: 39946

      We need to ensure we didn't include any application instructions like cover letter prompts. Also removed EEO etc. Now write the About the role paragraph exactly as given, but we may need to trim extra spaces. Let's copy: "We are looking for a creative Brand Strategist with hands-on food & beverage experience who thinks big, can steer our internal vision, and can help shape the visions of our clients.
