Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Content: - Intro: "Veterinary District Sales Manager - (Royal Canin) Location: Fredericksburg, VA (Alexandria, Arlington, Charlottesville area) Field Based Role - Must live within Territory". This is location and role description. Could be part of "About the role". We'll include location and field based. - Description: "The Veterinary District Sales Manager is accountable for execution of the Vet Business Unit (BU) strategy and achievement of business objectives/KPI’s by delivering account specific sales goals. This is accomplished by identifying clinic opportunities and leveraging sales data. This role works cross functionally to grow relevance, access to clinics and Vet recommendation within assigned geography. This is an individual contributor role."

These are requirements/qualifications/skills. We need to decide sections: maybe "Requirements" for education/experience, "Skills" for communication, driver license, travel. - "What would be your key responsibilities?" then list of responsibilities (multiple bullet-like sentences). We'll put under Responsibilities. - "What can you expect from Mars?" includes: Work with over 140,000 diverse and talented Associates, all guided by The Five Principles. Join a purpose driven company... Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University. An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus. This role is eligible for a company vehicle. Mars does not sponsor visas for this role. This position is not eligible for relocation benefits. The base pay range for this position at commencement of employment is between the range listed below, however, base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors... The total compensation package for this position will include variable pay, medical and dental benefits, participation in 401k plan, and paid time off benefits. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an applicant receives an offer of employment. The pay range shown is applicable to all US locations listed within the job posting:USD 69,370.00 - USD 95,384.00 We need Benefits, Pay sections. Benefits: company vehicle, learning and development, Mars University, industry competitive salary and benefits package including company bonus, medical and dental benefits, 401k, paid time off. Also mention not sponsoring visas, not eligible for relocation benefits (maybe not a benefit). We'll include benefits as list. Pay: base pay range USD 69,370.00 - USD 95,384.00. Also mention variable pay etc. We'll include Pay section with that range. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's travel percentage but not schedule. So we should not create Schedule section. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have heading "Veterinary District Sales Manager". We'll start with sections. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location, field based, must live within territory, individual contributor role, etc. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Possibly combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We can have both if we have distinct content. Let's map: About the role: location, field based, must live within territory, individual contributor, accountability for Vet BU strategy, achieving objectives/KPIs, identifying clinic opportunities, leveraging sales data, cross-functional work to grow relevance, access, vet recommendation. Responsibilities: the list under "What would be your key responsibilities?" (multiple sentences). We'll turn each into

• . Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree Preferred, 2+ years sales experience, preferably B2B Veterinary clinic experience preferred. Possibly also "Possession of a driver’s license and a clean driving record" could be under Skills or Requirements. We'll decide: Requirements: education and experience. Skills: communication & presentation skills, driver's license & clean record, travel willingness. Qualifications: maybe we can treat "Bachelor’s Degree Preferred" as Qualification, but we already have Requirements. Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we have only Requirements and Skills, not Qualifications. But the instruction allows us to include Qualifications if we have content. We could put "Bachelor’s Degree Preferred" under Qualifications, and "2+ years sales experience, preferably B2B Veterinary clinic experience preferred" under Requirements. However that seems artificial. Better to have Requirements (education + experience) and Skills (communication, driver license, travel). We'll skip Qualifications if no distinct content. Benefits: list as described. Pay: base pay range. We must not include boilerplate like "Mars does not sponsor visas for this role." That's substantive? It's a condition, maybe we can include under Benefits or Requirements? It's a limitation. Could be included in Benefits section as a note? But it's not a benefit. Could be included in About the role? Might be considered metadata. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Visa sponsorship is not exactly boilerplate but it's a condition. Might be considered part of the job posting details; we should preserve substantive information. It's not a benefit, but we could put it under Requirements? Not really. Perhaps we can include a short paragraph under About the role or a separate section like "Additional Information". But we only allowed headings from list. Could we add a

  under About the role covering that? The About the role section can contain prose; we can include that note there. Similarly "This position is not eligible for relocation benefits." Could be included there. We need to preserve all substantive information, so we must include those statements somewhere. Let's craft About the role paragraph: include location, field based, must live within territory, individual contributor, accountability, etc. Also include visa sponsorship not provided, no relocation benefits. Now Responsibilities: list. Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree Preferred; 2+ years sales experience, preferably B2B Veterinary clinic experience preferred. Skills: Excellent communication & presentation skills (oral and written); Possession of a driver’s license and a clean driving record; Overnight travel required, occasional weekends for conferences; approximately 20-30%+ travel. Benefits: Work with over 140,000 diverse and talented Associates, all guided by The Five Principles; Join a purpose driven company... Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University; An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus; This role is eligible for a company variable vehicle? Actually "eligible for a company variable"? It says "eligible for a company variable"? It says "eligible for a company variable"? The text: "This role is eligible for a company variable." Actually original: "This role is eligible for a company variable." Wait: It says "This role is eligible for a company variable." Let's re-read: "An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus. This role is eligible for a company variable." Actually the text: "An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus. This role is eligible for a company variable." I think it's "company vehicle". Yes earlier: "This role is eligible for a company variable." Might be a typo; but we assume "company vehicle". We'll include "eligible for a company vehicle". Also medical and dental benefits, participation in 401k plan, paid time off benefits. Pay: base pay range USD 69,370.00 - USD 95,384.00; total compensation includes variable pay, medical and dental benefits, 401k, paid time off. We should not repeat benefits in Pay section; Pay section just base pay range. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Let's construct:
