We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About ING", "About The Position", "About The Department", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications And Competencies". Also there is "Hourly Rate: $76-97". That's pay info, so we need a Pay section. No explicit Benefits or Schedule. So we include sections: About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content accordingly. The posting has "About ING" (company overview) maybe not needed as section? Could be "About the role"? Actually "About The Position" is role description. "About The Department" maybe could be omitted or merged? But we need to preserve all substantive info. Could create sections: About the role (combining About The Position and About The Department?), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. Also maybe Skills? Not explicit. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. Job ID etc not present. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove application instructions (none). Remove cookie/navigation/legal. We need to preserve all substantive info: include details about ING Americas, hybrid work model, etc. That's under About ING. Should we include that? It's substantive about company. Could be part of About the role? Might be separate section "About ING". But headings list didn't include About ING; but we can still use

for any section heading, not limited to those examples. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. So we can use About ING as heading. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine About ING with About The Position into About the role? But About ING is company culture, not role. Could be separate but that adds a section. Might be okay. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

and
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to extract responsibilities list: many bullet points after "As a Test Lead, you will be responsible for:" then list items each starting with a verb. We'll turn each into

  • . Qualifications list: after "Qualifications And Competencies" there is a paragraph then bullet-like sentences? Actually it's a paragraph with semicolons? It lists many qualifications separated by periods. We'll need to turn each qualification into
  • . Could treat each sentence as list item. Let's parse. Qualifications And Competencies text: "7+ years of software testing, data testing, quality assurance or test management experience, including delivery of complex technology, data or regulatory-change initiatives in a large, matrixed organization. Demonstrated experience leading testing for Finance, Risk, Tax, regulatory reporting, management information or other data-intensive reporting capabilities within financial services. Strong understanding of end-to-end data flows, including source systems, ETL or ingestion, data models, transformation rules, data warehouses or marts, semantic layers and downstream reporting tools. Hands-on experience designing test strategies, integrated test plans, scenarios, test cases, expected results, execution controls, traceability matrices, defect processes and test completion reports. Strong data-validation and reconciliation skills, with the ability to compare source data, transformed datasets, calculations and report outputs and identify where discrepancies originate. Experience testing data mappings, interfaces, batch files, APIs, business rules, calculations, aggregations, filters, thresholds, hierarchies, and report visualizations. Strong defect-management experience, including severity assessment, triage facilitation, root-cause coordination, retesting, closure evidence, and risk-based escalation.

Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain data and testing issues to non-technical stakeholders and summarize readiness, defects and residual risks for senior stakeholders. Strong documentation discipline and the ability to maintain clear, traceable, review-ready and audit-ready testing records and evidence. Comfort operating in a regulated financial-services environment and handling sensitive financial, risk, tax and customer data. Working knowledge of Agile and traditional delivery methods and test-management tools such as Azure DevOps Test Plans/Boards, Jira, ALM, qTest or comparable platforms. Working knowledge of SQL or equivalent data-query techniques for validating datasets, transformations, and reconciliations.

Familiarity with technology risk and control requirements for access, auditability, evidence retention, data downloads, security, resilience and operational readiness. Relevant testing certifications such as ISTQB, Certified Software Test Professional, Agile testing certification or equivalent practical experience." We'll treat each line as
  • . Also note "Preferred:" line maybe still a qualification. Pay: "Hourly Rate: $76-97". We'll create Pay section with

    Hourly Rate: $76-97

    . Now About ING paragraph: multiple sentences. We'll put in

    . About The Position: paragraph(s). We'll combine into

    . About The Department: paragraph(s). We'll combine into

    . We need to avoid duplication: there is some repeated info? Not much. Now produce HTML:

    About ING

    ...

    About the role

    ...

    (maybe combine About The Position and About The Department? But we could keep separate headings: About the position and About the department. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having three sections (About ING, About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay) is okay. Could combine About The Position and About The Department into About the role. Let's do that: About the role includes both position and department description. Thus:

    About the role

    Combine paragraphs from About The Position and About The Department.

    Now Responsibilities:

    We should not include Benefits or Schedule. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info: include hybrid work model mention from About ING: "ING Americas follows a hybrid work model, allowing for in-office / work from home flexibility. Hybrid work arrangements vary based on business area." Include that. Now craft the About ING paragraph: "In the Americas, ING’s Wholesale Banking division offers a broad range of innovative financial products and services to domestic and international corporate and institutional clients. When you come to work at ING, you’re joining a team where individuality isn’t just accepted, it’s encouraged. We’ve built a culture that’s fun, friendly and supportive – it’s the kind of place where you can be yourself and make the most of whatever you have to offer. We give people the freedom to take risks, think differently, take ownership of their work, and make great things happen. We’re here to help you get ahead. And with our global network, there’s plenty of scope to take your career in new directions, perhaps even ones you’ve never considered. ING Americas follows a hybrid work model, allowing for in-office / work from home flexibility. Hybrid work arrangements vary based on business area. Sound like the kind of place you’d feel at home? We’d love to hear from you." Now About The Position paragraph: "ING is seeking an experienced, hands-on Test Lead to establish and coordinate the testing approach for Finance, Risk and Tax reporting deliverables within a major local and global internal program. The consultant will lead test planning and execution across a broad portfolio of data and reporting capabilities supporting management, internal and regulatory reporting needs. The scope of reporting requirements includes Shared National Credit (SNC) regulatory reporting; Risk management reporting, Tax Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet reporting; and Finance reporting solutions built on Power BI. The role will coordinate testing across source systems, data ingestion, data models, simplified views, consumer lenses, mappings, interfaces, and downstream reports. This role will formalize a practical testing operating model for the workstream and provide day-to-day leadership for test preparation, execution, evidence, defect governance, reporting, and stakeholder coordination. The strongest candidate will combine regulatory-reporting and data-testing experience with the ability to create structure quickly, challenge incomplete requirements, reconcile outputs across complex data flows and drive defects to closure across local and globally distributed teams." About The Department paragraph: "ING Americas Technology supports local business delivery while operating within ING's global technology model. The Finance, Risk and Tax workstream brings together U.S. Finance, Risk, Tax, Data, Architecture, Engineering, Technology Risk, Testing and global delivery teams to define, source, map, test and deliver the data and reporting capabilities required for the future U.S. operating model. The team coordinates U.S. reporting requirements and acceptance criteria with downstream reporting solutions such as Power BI. The Test Lead will work closely with business report owners, business analysts, data specialists, developers, platform teams and vendors to create a consistent, traceable and audit-ready approach across the workstream." Combine these two paragraphs into About the role section. Now Responsibilities list: need to capture each bullet after "As a Test Lead, you will be responsible for:" The list items: - Define and implement a risk-based, end-to-end testing strategy and operating model for Finance, Risk and Tax reporting deliverables. - Create and maintain the integrated test plan, scope, schedule, entry and exit criteria, roles and responsibilities, environments, data needs, dependencies, evidence standards and reporting cadence. - Coordinate system integration testing, data validation, end-to-end testing, user acceptance testing, regression testing, dry runs, and business sign-off activities across the workstream. - Translate business requirements, reporting rules, business requirement documents, source-to-target mappings and acceptance criteria into clear test scenarios, test cases, and expected results. - Validate data completeness, accuracy, lineage, transformation logic, aggregation, reconciliation and report presentation from systems of record through ingestion, FRIDA data models and views, consumer lenses and downstream reporting tools. - Lead testing for SNC regulatory reporting, including validation of critical data elements, product and data-pattern coverage, data mappings, report outputs and supporting evidence. - Lead testing for Risk management reports, including Local Sector RAS and Country Risk reporting, with validation of calculations, thresholds, filters, dimensions, aggregation levels, drill-down behavior and Power BI outputs against approved requirements and source data. - Lead testing for Tax Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet reporting, including validation of mapping rules, calculations, state or entity-level outputs, reconciliations and business acceptance. - Coordinate testing of Finance reports and semantic models, including product-by-product data coverage and reconciliation to agreed source and accounting information. - Establish test data requirements and coordinate the preparation, refresh, masking
