We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like 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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: - Intro paragraph: "Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal seeks an Urban Designer to be part of his collaborative, energetic, and innovative team. The prospective staff member must be committed to seeking out new and better ways for the office to connect with, and deliver for, Manhattan’s diverse neighborhoods, communities, and constituents. The Urban Designer will work under the supervision of the Director of Land Use and Planning. Whether considering an individual development proposal, an infrastructure project, a neighborhood plan, or a citywide zoning policy change, the Borough President’s Land Use and Planning unit seeks to ensure that Manhattan grows in ways that strengthen neighborhoods, expand access to opportunity, and sustain the cultural and economic vitality that benefits the entire city. The team prepares recommendations, testimony, and scoping comments for applications in public review, provides Manhattan’s twelve Community Boards with technical assistance, and advances research on key issues and opportunities facing the borough, such as housing affordability, climate resiliency, and access to public open space." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" heading. - Then "The Role" heading: "The Urban Designer will draw from expertise in architecture, landscape architecture and/or urban design to advocate for excellence in urban design across the Borough President’s portfolio of projects and initiatives. The ideal candidate will be a curious and enthusiastic learner, an artful problem-solver, an excellent visual and verbal communicator, a critical and engaged user of design technology, and possess a positive attitude toward interdisciplinary work and community service." That's also about role/qualifications. - Then "Responsibilities" heading with list of responsibilities. List items: - Tracking, evaluating, and developing urban design recommendations on proposals before the City Planning Commission, the Public Design Commission, the Landmark Preservation Commission, the Board of Standards and Appeals, Empire State Development, and other governmental entities on behalf of the Borough President; - Contributing urban design expertise to the Borough President’s planning and policy initiatives by conducting research, monitoring urban design trends and best practices, analyzing conditions, and preparing graphic and written materials, including but not limited to hand drawings, physical and/or digital models, narrative text, data spreadsheets, and animation; - Providing technical assistance to Community Boards and responding to inquiries from the public; - Representing the Borough President in meetings with a wide variety of stakeholders, including community groups, advocates, students, elected officials, government agencies, and developers; - Testifying on behalf of the Borough President at public hearings; - Identify opportunities for future collaborations and strategic partnerships with other elected officials, agencies and institutions; - Provide guidance and mentoring to junior staff and interns; - Mentor and supervise less experienced Land Use and Planning staff and enhance the knowledge of urban design practices among the Borough President’s team; - Maintain a working knowledge of the NYC Zoning Resolution; - Ability to navigate practical considerations for individual projects while sustaining a focus on big-picture goals and sound design principles. - Perform other related tasks and projects We need to format as
  • each. - Then "Minimum Qualifications" heading with text: "A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college and two years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties described above; or High school graduation or equivalent and six years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties as described above; or Education and/or experience which is equivalent to "1" or "2" above. However, all candidates must have at least one year of experience as described in "1" above." That's qualifications. - Then "Preferred Skills" heading with bullet list (actually dash list). Items: - A Master’s degree in urban design or a related discipline - Strong urban design capabilities with knowledge of physical design principles and practices including site planning and programming, building layout, zoning calculations, massing and architectural design - Knowledge of urban landscape and environmental design, infrastructure planning and design, and resiliency and sustainability measures - Understanding of New York City government, zoning, land use decision making processes (ULURP, CEQR, PDC, LPC, BSA etc.), and the Borough President’s functions and responsibilities - Excellent visual, verbal, and written communication skills and experience speaking publicly and making effective presentations - Competence in free-hand sketches, as well as computer-based drawing, mapping, and graphics - Strong research, analytical, and project management skills - Self-motivated, organized and able to work effectively both individually and collaboratively to advance simultaneous projects - Familiarity with Manhattan neighborhoods, New York City’s urban planning and land use issues, and urban design best practices from around the world - Positive attitude toward public service and experience engaging diverse communities in planning and visioning processes - Demonstrated leadership skills and interest in mentorship - Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) - Then "Public Service Loan Forgiveness" paragraph: "As a prospective employee of the City of New York, you may be eligible for federal loan forgiveness programs and state repayment assistance programs. For more information, please visit the U.S. Department of Education’s website at https://studentaid.gov/pslf/." - Then "Residency Requirement" paragraph: "New York City residency is generally required within 90 days of appointment. However, City Employees in certain titles who have worked for the City for 2 continuous years may also be eligible to reside in Nassau, Suffolk, Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, or Orange County. To determine if the residency requirement applies to you, please discuss with the agency representative at the time of interview." - Then "Additional Information" paragraph: "The City of New York is an inclusive equal opportunity employer committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce and providing a work environment that is free from discrimination and harassment based upon any legally protected status or protected characteristic, including but not limited to an individual's sex, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, gender identity, or pregnancy." - Then salary: ", $75,000.00 – $85,000.00" (looks like after Additional Information there is a comma then salary). So we have Pay section. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro + The Role paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications). Skills (Preferred Skills). Benefits? There's Public Service Loan Forgiveness maybe considered benefit. Could be Benefits section. Pay section (salary). Schedule? Not mentioned. So we omit Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. The Additional Information paragraph is EEO statement; we must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop the Additional Information paragraph (EEO). Also drop Public Service Loan Forgiveness? That's not boilerplate; it's a benefit info. Keep it maybe under Benefits. Residency Requirement is also relevant; maybe keep under Benefits or a separate section like "Requirements"? But we already have Qualifications. Residency requirement is a condition; could be part of Qualifications or a separate "Requirements" section. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have a Requirements section for residency requirement. But we also have Minimum Qualifications; that could be Qualifications. The posting has both Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Skills. So we can have Qualifications (minimum) and Skills (preferred). Requirements could be residency requirement. Or we could combine residency into Qualifications. But better to follow headings: Requirements (for residency), Qualifications (minimum), Skills (preferred). Benefits (Public Service Loan Forgiveness). Pay (salary). About the role (intro + The Role). Responsibilities (list). Ensure we don't create sections with filler. Let's extract each piece. About the role: combine first paragraph and The Role paragraph. First paragraph: "Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal seeks an Urban Designer to be part of his collaborative, energetic, and innovative team. The prospective staff member must be committed to seeking out new and better ways for the office to connect with, and deliver for, Manhattan’s diverse neighborhoods, communities, and constituents. The Urban Designer will work under the supervision of the Director of Land Use and Planning. Whether considering an individual development proposal, an infrastructure project, a neighborhood plan, or a citywide zoning policy change, the Borough President’s Land Use and Planning unit seeks to ensure that Manhattan grows in ways that strengthen neighborhoods, expand access to opportunity, and sustain the cultural and economic vitality that benefits the entire city. The team prepares recommendations, testimony, and scoping comments for applications in public review, provides Manhattan’s twelve Community Boards with technical assistance, and advances research on key issues and opportunities facing the borough, such as housing affordability, climate resiliency, and access to public open space." The Role paragraph: "The Urban Designer will draw from expertise in architecture, landscape architecture and/or urban design to advocate for excellence in urban design across the Borough President’s portfolio of projects and initiatives. The ideal candidate will be a curious and enthusiastic learner, an artful problem-solver, an excellent visual and verbal communicator, a critical and engaged user of design technology, and possess a positive attitude toward interdisciplinary work and community service." We can combine into one

    • each. Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications): paragraph as given. Skills (Preferred Skills): list as
      • each. Requirements: Residency Requirement paragraph. Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness paragraph. Pay: salary line "$75,000.00 – $85,000.00". Should be in a
