VP, Controller
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have job summary, responsibilities (What You'll Do), qualifications (What You Bring To The Team), benefits (Why Brinker). Also maybe About the role could be job summary. We'll not repeat job title. No Pay or Schedule unless present. There's no explicit pay or schedule details, only hybrid schedule mentioned under Benefits. Schedule could be derived: "Hybrid schedules with weekly flex days to work from home." That's schedule info. Should we create a Schedule section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does mention hybrid schedule, so we can include Schedule section. Benefits also present. Pay not mentioned, so omit Pay.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we should bullet points. For requirements/qualifications also bullet list. Benefits also bullet list.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (maybe combine Qualifications and Skills?), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use
for each section heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
Job Summary paragraph: "The Vice President, Controller is a senior finance executive and key member of the Finance Leadership Team, reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer. This role is responsible for the overall leadership, integrity, and effectiveness of Brinker International's accounting and financial reporting functions, ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant financial information for a publicly traded, multi-brand restaurant organization.

We need to decide if we keep subheadings inside list? Probably we can keep them as part of list items text. Could also separate sections but instruction says use
for section headings only. So we can keep responsibilities as a single section with a list that includes these bullet points; we can embed the subheadings as bold text inside
- maybe. But we must not invent headings. It's okay to have text inside
- . We'll produce
- ... etc.
Requirements/Qualifications: "What You Bring To The Team" bullet list:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required; MBA or Master's degree preferred.
- Active Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation required.

We could split into Requirements and Qualifications but we have only one heading allowed? We could have Requirements section and Qualifications section both. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine into one "Requirements" section with list. Or we could have "Qualifications" section. The instruction: use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications if content exists. But we might split: Requirements = education, CPA, years experience; Qualifications = expertise, Oracle, industry experience, leadership, etc. Skills maybe technical skills. But we risk creating thin sections. However we have enough content for each.
Let's decide:
- About the role: job summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (What You'll Do).
- Requirements: education, CPA, years experience.
- Qualifications: expertise in SEC reporting, etc., Oracle ERP, industry experience, leading teams, Big 4 audit, knowledge of systems, leadership/communication, track record, strategic thinking.
- Skills: maybe we could extract specific skills like Oracle ERP, financial systems, automation technologies, etc. But that overlaps with qualifications. Might be thin. Better to not create Skills if not distinct.
- Benefits: list from Why Brinker.
- Schedule: hybrid schedule info.
We must not include boilerplate like "Brinker International is an equal opportunity employer." etc.
