We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal etc. Also remove application instructions (none present). Keep substantive info. We have content: "Join our team and live the Ollie-tude!: (Ollie’s Core Values) BE A TEAM PLAYER- Associates are expected to be supportive and work together.BE CARING- How do I treat others with courtesy, dignity, and respect?BE VALUE OBSESSED- Live the “good stuff cheap” mindset.BE COMMITTED- Operate with grit, passion, tenacity, and action.BE GROWING- How do we get better every day?BE REAL- Associates should be honest, transparent, genuine, trustworthy, and sincere." That's core values. Could be part of "About the role" or maybe "Skills"? Probably "About the role" includes overview and values. We'll put that in About the role. Then "Competitive Benefits Medical, Dental, Vision, and RX coverage after 30 days of employment.401K, Company match begins at Associate enrollmentStrong career growth & talent development culture 20% Associate discount on all Ollie’s purchases.Vast array of voluntary benefits". That's benefits. So Benefits section. Position Overview paragraph: "The Vice President, Corporate Controller is a senior enterprise leader..." That's about the role. Primary Responsibilities: list of responsibilities under headings: Leadership Expectations, Accounting And Financial Reporting, Internal Controls, SOX And Risk, Operational Leadership And Execution, Organizational Leadership And Talent, Business Partnership And Enterprise Leadership, Finance Transformation, External Audit And Governance. Those are subheadings but we need to output as list items under Responsibilities? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert responsibilities into a list. Could group them as bullet points. Probably each responsibility bullet. Qualifications: list of qualifications. Physical Requirements: maybe part of Requirements? Could be separate but we have no heading for Physical Requirements; we could include under Requirements or Skills? Probably Requirements includes qualifications and physical requirements. But we have Qualifications heading separate. We'll put qualifications under Qualifications. Physical Requirements maybe under Requirements? But we have no specific heading for physical; we could include under Requirements as a list. Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could infer from qualifications but better not to create empty heading. So we omit Skills if no specific content. Pay and Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly also Requirements? But we have Qualifications covering education, experience, etc. Physical Requirements could be under Requirements. But we have no separate Requirements heading; we could add Requirements for physical requirements. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine physical requirements into Qualifications? Might be okay to add a Requirements section for physical requirements. But we need to see if there is content: "Physical Requirements Ability to sit at a desk to work on a computer for an extended period of time.Ability to see, hear, and speak regularly.Ability to grip, reach, and pinch with arms and hands frequently.Ability to bend and twist occasionally.Ability to work in a constant state of alertness and safe manner." That's substantive. So we can create a Requirements section for physical requirements. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (physical), Qualifications, Benefits. We must not include headings with filler. All have content. Now format: Use

    for each heading. Then content: For About the role: include core values and position overview as prose (

    ). Could combine into one

    or multiple. We'll put core values as a

    then position overview as another
