We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like purpose paragraph? The purpose paragraph is generic corporate description; it's not specific to role? It might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The purpose paragraph is not exactly boilerplate but it's generic company description; might be considered not specific to role. However it's substantive info about Mastercard; but likely considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove EEO etc. Not explicitly purpose. But we can keep if it's relevant? Usually they'd want to keep role overview. The "Overview" section after Title And Summary is substantive. We'll keep that as part of About the role maybe. We need to parse content: Title And Summary: Vice President, Mergers and Acquisitions Overview: Based in Purchase, NY, the Vice President of Corporate Development will be part of the Strategy, Corporate Development and will report to the Senior Vice President, Corporate Development. The primary responsibility ... etc. Then "Role" bullet list of duties. Then "All About You": qualifications etc. Then EEO statement etc (remove). Then Corporate Security Responsibility (maybe keep? It's about security responsibilities; could be considered part of role? Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to Mastercard security. Might be considered not role-specific; but could be kept under Responsibilities? Probably remove as it's generic policy. Then compensation philosophy paragraph: mention competitive base salary, annual bonus, etc. That's Pay info. Then Mastercard benefits list: includes many details. That's Benefits. Then Pay Ranges: specific numbers for Purchase, NY and NYC. Thus we have sections: About the role: could include overview paragraph. Responsibilities: the bullet list under "Role". Requirements: maybe "All About You" includes Bachelor's degree etc. That's qualifications/skills. Qualifications: maybe separate education? But we can combine. Skills: interpersonal, leadership, project management, etc. Benefits: list. Pay: base salary competitive, bonus, plus pay ranges. Schedule: not mentioned; so omit. We must not create sections with filler. So include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

    Vice President... etc. We must not include Job ID etc. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can format. We need to be careful not to omit any detail from the "All About You" etc. Let's extract details: Overview paragraph: "Based in Purchase, NY, the Vice President of Corporate Development will be part of the Strategy, Corporate Development and will report to the Senior Vice President, Corporate Development. The primary responsibility of the Vice President of Corporate Development is the formulation of inorganic growth opportunities and leading the identification, development and execution of strategic opportunities across Mastercard’s business related to potential equity investments, acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures. The role requires a big picture thinker able to fully connect with the payment and technology industry environment and see lateral opportunities across geographies and industries. The candidate should be able to understand and synthesize market and industry insights, identify competitive trends, and partnership opportunities." That's prose. Then Role bullet list (each line starts with a bold phrase? We'll treat as list items): - Lead high-priority strategic projects: frame and structure issues, conduct complex analysis, and crystallize insights and recommendations - Generate new growth ideas grounded in market dynamics and competitive context - Partner with business executives to understand business strategy and how M&A and equity investments can accelerate or complement that strategy - Develop Target Investment Profiles (TIPs) with leadership to select top M&A or investment candidates - Market Engagement: Develop and maintain active engagement with relevant market players across the regions among PE / VC investors, investment banks and other sources to ensure full market visibility - Generate Investment Rationales: Partner with global business units, regional product & sales executives to assess which of their growth strategies are potentially better executed via strategic investments and/or acquisitions - Preparing pre-LOI business cases including go-to-market plans for synergies, standalone business valuation and early-stage integration planning - Lead creation of acquisition deliverables and discussions such presentations to senior executives and Board of Directors for LOI approvals - Understand and communicate financial impact and risks of potential acquisitions & investments and recommend remediation actions - Develop talent across the Strategy and Corporate Development team by recruiting, coaching and mentoring junior resources That's responsibilities. Then "All About You" bullet list (some are sentences): - Bachelor’s Degree, MBA or CPA preferred - Strong interpersonal and leadership skills to influence and build credibility, team oriented, collaborative, diplomatic, and flexible - Executive presence and ability to clearly communicate compelling messages to senior management and business partners - Extensive project management, problem solving and planning skills required - Prior M&A, Corporate Development, or Management Consulting experience - Knowledge of payments, financial services or related areas a plus - Demonstrated executive level relationship building and partnering skills - Strong analytical skills including financial modeling, accounting and valuation experience That's qualifications/skills. We could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (soft skills). But we can combine into one section "Requirements" with list items covering both. However instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a Requirements list. But we also have Skills section maybe separate for interpersonal etc. However we can keep one Requirements list that includes all. But we also have Benefits list: need to extract benefits paragraph. Benefits paragraph: "Mastercard benefits for full time (and certain part time) employees generally include: insurance (including medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, disability, life insurance); flexible spending account and health savings account; paid leaves (including 16 weeks of new parent leave and up to 20 days of bereavement leave); 80 hours of Paid Sick and Safe Time, 25 days of vacation time and 5 personal days, pro-rated based on date of hire; 10 annual paid U.S. observed holidays; 401k with a best-in-class company match; deferred compensation for eligible roles; fitness reimbursement or on-site fitness facilities; eligibility for tuition reimbursement; and many more. Mastercard benefits for interns generally include: 56 hours of Paid Sick and Safe Time; jury duty leave; and on-site fitness facilities in some locations." We need to preserve all substantive info. So we can put that as a
      • list? It's a prose list with semicolons. Could break into items but better to keep as

        maybe? The instruction: Use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert benefits into list items. We can split by semicolons into separate
        • . But need to preserve meaning. Could do: - insurance (including medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, disability, life insurance) - flexible spending account and health savings account - paid leaves (including 16 weeks of new parent leave and up to 20 days of bereavement leave) - 80 hours of Paid Sick and Safe Time, 25 days of vacation time and 5 personal days, pro-rated based on date of hire - 10 annual paid U.S. observed holidays - 401k with a best-in-class company match - deferred compensation for eligible roles - fitness reimbursement or on-site fitness facilities - eligibility for tuition reimbursement - and many more Then intern benefits separate maybe as sublist? Could just add after. But we must not invent details; we keep "and many more". That's okay. Pay section: includes paragraph about competitive base salary, annual bonus/commissions, and Pay Ranges. Paragraph: "In line with Mastercard’s total compensation philosophy and assuming that the job will be performed in the US, the successful candidate will be offered a competitive base salary and may be eligible for an annual bonus or commissions depending on the role. The base salary offered may vary depending on multiple factors, including but not limited to location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience." Then Pay Ranges: two lines. We can combine into

          for prose and maybe

            for ranges? Could treat ranges as list. We'll output:
