The posting: It's a job description for Team Captain – Sport & Outdoor at DICK'S Sporting Goods.
We need to include sections: Overview (maybe "About the role")? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). The posting includes some fluff about mission etc. We need to keep substantive info: overview, duties, responsibilities, qualifications, virtual requirements (maybe part of Requirements). Also maybe "Skills" if present. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections unless posting actually states them. It does not mention pay, benefits, schedule. So we omit those sections.
We need sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (job duties), Requirements (qualifications + maybe virtual requirements). Possibly Skills (if any). The posting mentions "coachable, accountable, collaborative, trustworthy" as traits; also "expert product knowledge and strong selling leadership". Could be skills. We could put those under Skills.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for duties we should list each duty as
- . For qualifications list each requirement as
- . For skills list each skill as
- .
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to capture each bullet from duties.
Let's parse duties:
From "Job Duties & Responsibilities" paragraph:
- Deliver outstanding athlete experiences by anticipating athlete needs and providing clear, accurate, and knowledgeable information about products and assortment.
- Uphold company merchandising and presentation standards by following established floor sets, signage requirements, price changes, inventory presentation, replenishment standards, etc.
- Promote and lead company programs (i.e., customer loyalty program participation, warranty sales, private label credit card enrollment, etc.).
- Together with the SM and ASM, contribute to the development of 30-60-90 day plans to support business priorities for assigned department(s).
- Help establish working plans related to operational initiatives, staffing, hiring needs, operational and merchandising sets, etc. in accordance with established budgets and financial goals.
- Execute plans and make adjustments as needed throughout plan duration using independent judgment and analysis of plan effectiveness.
- When sole leader in building, act as Head Coach and perform general store oversight including opening and closing procedures, Front End and Cash Office functions, teammate supervision, etc.
- Daily/weekly, communicate departmental goals and plans to direct reports and assign workload based on skill levels to maximize efficiencies.
- Monitor progress against plans and changes to store goals and pivot accordingly to ensure uninterrupted operations and athlete support while still meeting payroll and financial goals.
- Includes developing effective schedules for direct reports and making adjustments as needed to meet athlete traffic demands while also ensuring successful completion of operational and merchandising initiatives.
- Build and lead a strong, effective team that successfully delivers positive athlete experiences. Includes taking the lead on sourcing, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and retaining appropriate number of direct reports in area(s) of oversight.
- Ensure all teammates are properly trained and provide coaching, feedback, development, recognition, and motivation throughout teammate lifecycle.
- Also responsible for performance management, including annual reviews and promotional recommendations, and for holding teammates accountable for compliance with policies and procedures, including termination recommendations.
- Create a store environment where everyone, both teammates and athletes, are always welcome and treated with respect.
- Adhere to and enforce established policies and procedures related to safety, loss prevention and standard operating procedures, as well as to laws/guidelines of external governing entities.
- Hold teammates who fail to meet or comply with expectations accountable.
That's a lot. We'll list each as
- .
Qualifications:
- High School Diploma or Equivalent
- 1-3 years of experience
- Previous retail/customer-facing experience required.
- Previous people leadership experience preferred
Also virtual requirements: maybe under Requirements as well: "Virtual Requirements At DICK’S, we thrive on innovation and authenticity. That said, to protect the integrity and security of our hiring process, we ask that candidates do not use AI tools (like ChatGPT or others) during interviews or assessments. To ensure a smooth and secure experience, please note the following: Cameras must be on during all virtual interviews. AI tools are not permitted to be used by the candidate during any part of the interview process. Offers are contingent upon a satisfactory background check which may include ID verification. If you have any questions or need accommodations, we’re here to help."
These are not exactly qualifications but process requirements. Could be placed under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Virtual Interview Requirements". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put virtual requirements under Requirements (maybe as a sublist). Or we could incorporate them into Qualifications? Probably better to put under Requirements.
Skills: The posting mentions "coachable, accountable, collaborative, and trustworthy", "expert product knowledge and strong selling leadership". Also maybe "ability to develop schedules", "ability to monitor progress", etc. But we should not invent. We'll extract explicit skill-like statements: "coachable, accountable, collaborative, and trustworthy", "expert product knowledge", "strong selling leadership". Also maybe "ability to communicate departmental goals", "ability to assign workload", etc. But those are duties. For skills we can list the traits and knowledge.
We'll create a Skills section with those.
Now About the role: We need to capture overview paragraphs before duties. The posting includes:

We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll put that as prose in
under About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading, but we can mention it in prose.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:

We should not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections.
Check that we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed.
Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The overview includes "We believe in how positively sports can change lives..." etc. We included that.
We also included "As a Team Captain – Sport & Outdoor, you will coach teammates, drive sales performance, and ensure athletes find the right gear for their sport." That's part of overview but also could be duty. We'll keep in overview.
Now check duties list: Did we capture all? Let's list them again and ensure each is present.
