We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: "About TEAM LEWIS" (company description) but not "About the role". There's a "Purpose of the role" paragraph. Could treat that as 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 those headings if present.
We have:
- About TEAM LEWIS (company overview) could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. But we have "Purpose of the role" which describes role purpose. Could put under About the role.
- Main Responsibilities list: bullet points.
- About You: describes qualifications/skills/requirements.
- Additional Requirements: list of requirements.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: not mentioned (Hybrid work environment maybe schedule? Not explicit schedule like full-time, part-time). There's "Hybrid work environment" under benefits. No explicit schedule. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states it. It does not. So omit Schedule.
- Qualifications: maybe part of About You/Additional Requirements. Could create Qualifications section with content from About You and Additional Requirements? But we must not invent sections if no explicit heading. However we can combine content under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills could be merged into Requirements. But we need to follow headings list; we can include Skills if we have content. The posting includes "Strong media relations skills", "Excellent written and verbal communication skills", etc. Those could go under Skills. But we also have Additional Requirements list. Might be better to have Requirements (includes experience, etc.) and Skills (specific abilities). However we must not create sections with filler. If we have content for Skills, we can include.
Let's extract:
About the role: "Purpose of the role" paragraph.
Responsibilities: list under Main Responsibilities (multiple bullet points). Also some responsibilities in "Overall, be a collaborative..." but that's part of About You? Actually that's at end of About You? It says "Overall, be a collaborative, encouraging, supportive member of the US management team." That's more about you. We'll keep responsibilities as the Main Responsibilities list.
Requirements: Could include "Evidence of running a large global client autonomously and with initiative", "Experience in the tech sector is strongly preferred", "Good understanding of trends and issues impacting business and stakeholder audiences", "Track record of exceeding goals; evidence of consistently making sound decisions through a combination of analysis, experience and judgment", "Successful commercial and operational management experience", "Strong media relations skills and close relationships with notable media", "Experience of leading and winning pitches", "Excellent written and verbal communication skills; an articulate and convincing presenter", "Ability to problem solve, project manage and multi-task. Will take charge of a situation and act", "Integrity, humility, self-drive/initiative – and a sense of humor!" Also "Additional Requirements" list.
Qualifications: Could include "Working for a PR agency, you are a strategic thinker who enjoys counseling clients and devising and running campaigns. With rounded B2B communications experience, you are passionate about the role of business in society and operate at the forefront of developing communications programs to show this. Mission focused and commercial, you have a “sleeves rolled up” mentality and like to exceed goals, deliver results and make a positive impact. An empathetic and motivational leader, you are able to coach and manage client teams to deliver service and work of the highest order. You thrive in a flexible, open-minded, “can do” environment." That's more about qualifications/attributes.
Skills: Could be overlapping with requirements. Might be redundant. To keep few sections, we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one Requirements section. But we need to follow headings list; we can include only those we have content for. Let's decide: We'll have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (combining About You, Additional Requirements, etc.), Benefits, Pay.
We'll not include Qualifications, Skills separately.
Now we need to format:
. Need to capture all responsibilities from Main Responsibilities.
Let's extract them:
- Develop strong relationships and trust with the client, providing strategic and creative counsel, and initiatives for retention and organic growth; manage program delivery start to finish
- Brief the creative engineering team to bring concepts to life for multi-channel campaigns
- Run executive media relations programs, including media training, for the senior/c-suite clients
- Ensure the delivery of excellent, consistent service and results; bring rigorous evaluation and measurement to campaign planning and reporting
- Grow client revenue, identifying and securing upsell/cross sell opportunities
- Manage business operational elements, eg. client profitability, budgets/costs, resource planning
- For new business, help identify and engage prospects plus key intermediaries and influencers
- Participate in, or lead, credentials and pitches for multi-market prospects, developing the strategic insight, strategy and messaging
- Champion the cascading of US clients across the global network
- Retain a high-caliber and motivated team – inspire and nurture a first-class culture in which people can thrive and grow professionally and personally
- Manage and motivate direct reports, setting and reviewing goals; work to maximize strengths, improve weaknesses and support career development
- Lead and participate in training as a trainer and by contributing curriculum ideas
- Interview key potential hires. Help on-board and mentor these hires, setting them up for success
- Overall, be a collaborative, encouraging, supportive member of the US management team.
That's all.
Now Requirements/Qualifications: combine About You and Additional Requirements.
About You paragraph:
"Working for a PR agency, you are a strategic thinker who enjoys counseling clients and devising and running campaigns. With rounded B2B communications experience, you are passionate about the role of business in society and operate at the forefront of developing communications programs to show this. Mission focused and commercial, you have a “sleeves rolled up” mentality and like to exceed goals, deliver results and make a positive impact. An empathetic and motivational leader, you are able to coach and manage client teams to deliver service and work of the highest order. You thrive in a flexible, open-minded, “can do” environment."
Additional Requirements list:
- Evidence of running a large global client autonomously and with initiative
- Experience in the tech sector is strongly preferred
- Good understanding of trends and issues impacting business and stakeholder audiences
- Track record of exceeding goals; evidence of consistently making sound decisions through a combination of analysis, experience and judgment

- Integrity, humility, self-drive/initiative – and a sense of humor!
Also note: "This job description is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the responsibilities for this role. Other responsibilities may be added from time to time." That's boilerplate; we should remove.
Now Benefits list:
- Competitive salary
- Hybrid work environment
- Generous PTO
- Paid parental leave
- Medical, dental, and vision benefits + life insurance (eligible day 1 of employment)

Pay: "The expected salary range for the Vice President, PR position is between $130K - $175K. Base annual salary is determined by factors such as location, experience, and expertise."
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no extra text.
We'll wrap each section in
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to those headings if present.
We have:
- About TEAM LEWIS (company overview) could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. But we have "Purpose of the role" which describes role purpose. Could put under About the role.
- Main Responsibilities list: bullet points.
- About You: describes qualifications/skills/requirements.
- Additional Requirements: list of requirements.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: not mentioned (Hybrid work environment maybe schedule? Not explicit schedule like full-time, part-time). There's "Hybrid work environment" under benefits. No explicit schedule. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states it. It does not. So omit Schedule.
- Qualifications: maybe part of About You/Additional Requirements. Could create Qualifications section with content from About You and Additional Requirements? But we must not invent sections if no explicit heading. However we can combine content under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills could be merged into Requirements.

Let's extract:

Let's decide: We'll have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (combining About You, Additional Requirements, etc.), Benefits, Pay.
We'll not include Qualifications, Skills separately.
Now we need to format:
About the role
Purpose of the role The Vice President (VP) will spend fifty per cent of their time leading and managing the client, working closely with senior peers on the business across the US and in the London office. They will own the US client relationship, taking responsibility for meeting client expectations and ensuring that both the client and TEAM LEWIS colleagues are kept fully up to date on critical activity on the account. The VP takes the lead in building and maintaining media relationships, driving outreach for campaigns. The role will drive excellent client service, retention and profitability. Working with colleagues and teams across the US and internationally, the VP will lead new business credentials and pitches and the onboarding of wins. Overall, they will provide strategic and creative consultancy to clients on their integrated marketing journey.
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we should not repeat "Purpose of the role" maybe we can just start with that sentence. Keep as is. Responsibilities: list each bullet asand then
or
- .
Make sure not to include duplicate content (the repeated TEAM LEWIS description appears twice; we should include only once? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. The duplicated company description appears twice; we should include it only once. However we didn't include company description in About the role; we used purpose of the role only. The duplicated company description is not needed for role sections; we can omit it entirely because it's not role-specific? But it's substantive information about the company; maybe we should include it under About the role? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. The company overview could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could include it as part of About the role (since it's about the company). However the purpose of the role already describes role; we could add company overview as a paragraph before purpose. That would preserve substantive info. Let's include a short paragraph about TEAM LEWIS under About the role.
We have the company description: "TEAM LEWIS is a global marketing agency that has moved from start-up to multi-national in a little over two decades. Its success is due to a combination of factors: it’s ability to read the future and prepare for it; leveraging cutting edge AI; strategic thinkers delivering award winning campaigns; expanding client relationships into new markets or services; and above all, independence from outside investors. The practice, its people and its campaigns have won many awards, including Cannes Lions, PRovoke Media, ICCO, European Excellence, PRCA Digital, Digital Impact, Global Digital Excellence. At the heart of our community is the TEAM LEWIS Foundation (TLF), a non-profit charitable entity. Since its launch in 2021, it has funded over 2,600 causes. It is one of the largest employee-directed philanthropies in the world. The TLF promotes a wide variety of social, cultural, and environmental causes that benefit society. It aims to strengthen the bonds between the creative industries, businesses, government, and non-profits. Community charities are championed by employees who, in addition to the financial donation, volunteer their time and skills to maximise grant effectiveness. You can read more here about TEAM LEWIS Foundation."
We should include that as a paragraph under About the role, then the purpose paragraph.
Now ensure we don't repeat duplicated lines; there is a duplicate later in the posting (the same company description repeated). We'll only include once.
Now construct HTML.
Let's draft:
