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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: description of role, what they will own, etc. Could be under "About the role" heading. - Responsibilities: list of duties (What You'll Own sections). Could be bullet list. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "What You'll Bring" includes Experience & Expertise and Who You Are. Could split into Requirements (experience) and Skills (personal attributes). But we need to decide based on content. - Benefits: list of benefits (Half-Day Fridays, clothing discount, offices, comprehensive benefits, 401K, PTO, maternity/paternity leave, hybrid work, etc.) - Pay: Salary Range: $160,000 – $175,000 annually, commensurate with experience. However instructions: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary range, but also says "commensurate with experience". The instruction says: 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. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is considered filler? It says "commensurate with experience" is placeholder? It says "commensurate with experience" is listed as example of filler? Actually they gave examples: "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". So if the posting says "Salary Range: $160,000 – $175,000 annually, commensurate with experience." That includes the phrase "commensurate with experience". The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Does that mean we should not include Pay section if the only content is filler? But we have actual numbers plus filler. Might still be okay to include Pay section with the salary range, but we need to avoid filler text. Could we rephrase to just the range? We must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We cannot remove "commensurate with experience" because it's part of the posting. However the instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", ...). That suggests if the only content under a heading is filler, we should not create that heading. But if we have substantive content plus filler, maybe we still include but we need to avoid filler? The instruction is ambiguous. Safer to include Pay section with the salary range and also include the phrase "commensurate with experience" as it's part of the posting. But that might violate the rule. However the rule says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". It doesn't say we cannot include that text; it says we shouldn't have a heading that only has filler text. If we include the salary range plus that phrase, it's not just filler. So it's okay. Schedule: The posting mentions "Hybrid work arrangement — collaborative on-site presence balanced with focused remote work". Also "Half-Day Fridays year-round". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: we have many. Now we need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications and Skills into fewer sections to avoid thin ones. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering experience, expertise, qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Or we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. The title is "Z SUPPLY | Style Director". Not to be used. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, etc. Now let's extract content. About the role: The first paragraphs after "The Role". Could be: "Z SUPPLY is hiring its first-ever Style Director — a newly created role that reflects where the brand is going, not just where it's been. This is not a shoot stylist. This is a brand architect. This role will own the visual and stylistic identity of Z SUPPLY across every touchpoint: campaigns, e-commerce, social, wholesale, editorial, events, and product. They will work at the intersection of brand storytelling, product design, and content — ensuring that everything Z SUPPLY puts into the world looks, feels, and moves as one coherent brand. This role works in close partnership with the Creative, Design, Merchandising, and Marketing. This role requires a style visionary and an executor — setting the direction and ensuring its execution." We can put that as prose under About the role. Responsibilities: The "What You'll Own" section with bullet points (though it's not bullet list but paragraphs). We can convert each bullet-like sentence into

  • . Let's identify distinct responsibilities: - Establish a clear, ownable styling POV that distinguishes the brand from its peers in the casual lifestyle space. - Develop and maintain a comprehensive Brand Style Guide that governs how Z SUPPLY product looks across all channels: styling, color, texture, silhouette, composition, and overall visual world. - Ensure that customers experience a cohesive Z SUPPLY brand - from the way the product is designed and styled to how it appears online, in boutiques, at events, and across marketing channels. - Partner with Design and Creative/Marketing to translate seasonal design direction into a cohesive visual brand point of view - from mood boards and concept development through to final execution. - Identify emerging trends, cultural shifts, and competitor movements synthesizing them into actionable direction that keeps Z SUPPLY relevant. - Drive operational excellence through effective planning, prioritization, and execution across multiple concurrent campaigns, shoots, launches, and channel needs while meeting critical deadlines. - Product Obsession & Creative Development: Be the brand's most obsessive product eye - deeply understanding each season’s line - from fit, fabrication, and design intent of every piece - translating that into styling choices that serve both brand definition and sell-through. - Partner with Merchandising, Design, and Marketing to identify both product gaps and product priorities and hero categories — informed by trend, category definition, past performance — anchoring seasonal storytelling, integrated campaigns, and monthly go-to-market planning. - Partner with Product and Merchandising throughout the seasonal design process to bring styling and consumer perspective to silhouette, color palette, fabrication, and assortment decisions. - Contribute to how product is photographed, styled, and presented – from wholesale to e-commerce - to tell a compelling story. - Champion the idea that how a product is styled is inseparable from how it sells. - Attend key product reviews and stay aligned with Design and Merchandising on seasonal readiness, product flow, and sample availability - ensuring creative timing alignment each season. - Identify opportunities to redefine how core and hero products are presented; elevating basics and essentials through styling choices that feel fresh and intentional, not generic. - Campaign, E-Commerce & Content Execution: Lead styling for all brand campaigns, e-commerce photography, and social content — from pre-production (pre-styles, mood development) through on-set execution and post-production review, managing looks and outfit composition on-set with photographers and creative teams. - Oversee styling for all social content creation, ensuring that TikTok, Instagram, influencer, talent briefs + content reflect the same aesthetic sensibility. - Manage external freelance stylists, wardrobe assistants as needed (in partnership with Production). - Review and approve all creative output for styling consistency before publication — serving as the final eye on visual assets that carry the brand. - Manage and continuously develop the brand's prop and styling archive — fabrics, textures, objects, and styling elements that reflect Z SUPPLY’s visual world. - Ensure key category + product investments, and major launches are prominently represented across seasonal campaigns, e-commerce, paid media, wholesale, and customer-facing experiences. - Partner with Marketing and E-commerce to constantly evaluate campaign, content, and product-storytelling performance / resonance to refine future styling direction. - Wholesale & Retail Visual Presentation: Partner with the Creative Director, Wholesale to develop styling standards and selling tools — lookbooks, merch lineups, linesheets, trade show presentations, SMU assets, and in-store/boutique guidelines — ensure Z SUPPLY's visual world extends cohesively into wholesale and retail. - As needed, contribute to trade show booth design and execution, ensuring the physical presentation of Z Supply reflects the same craft and intention. - Contribute to visual POV for Wholesale events inclusive of recommending brand elements and decor. - As needed, attend tentpole Trade Shows to support sales team. - Brand: PR, Influencer, Events: Partner with PR + Influencer to develop a monthly lookbooks for gifting and pitching highlighting key products and Z SUPPLY trends. - Collaborate with the Influencer Marketing and Social to ensure creator partnership briefs authentically align to the Z SUPPLY brand while aligning to key product priorities / investments. That's a lot. We'll list them as
  • . Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "What You'll Bring" section includes Experience & Expertise bullet points and Who You Are bullet points. We can combine into a single Requirements section with subpoints? But we need to use
    • for any list. Could have two lists: one for Experience & Expertise, one for Who You Are. But we need headings for each? Could use

      for Requirements and then within that have two
        lists with headings? But we cannot add extra headings besides the allowed ones? The instruction only says use

        for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings inside? It says use

        for section headings (list). Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add additional headings like "Experience & Expertise". Instead we can just have a single list under Requirements that includes all points. Or we could split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills sections each with lists. Given we want few substantive sections, we could have Requirements (covering experience & expertise) and Skills (covering personal attributes). Or we could have Qualifications (experience) and Skills (personal). Let's decide: - Requirements: Experience & Expertise bullet points (8-10 years styling, deep familiarity, proven experience leading styling across multiple content types, experience collaborating with product and merchandising, track record of building/evolving brand visual identity, experience managing freelance talent, familiarity with social-first content aesthetics). - Skills: Who You Are bullet points (genuine POV, product obsession, holistic brand identity thinking, organized/high capacity, strong communicator, culturally fluent, customer-focused). We could also have Qualifications but maybe not needed. We'll do Requirements and Skills. Now Benefits: list of benefits. - Half-Day Fridays year-round - Generous clothing discount - New chic and modern offices located near top restaurants and shopping in Costa Mesa, CA - Comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage - 401K with discretionary employer match of up to $2500 - Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays, Paid Prevent
