We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse posting. Content: Intro: "Join the world's largest HVAC company..." etc. That's about the role? Could be "About the role". Then "What You Will Do" is responsibilities. Then "Qualifications". Then "Benefits". Also there is mention of travel percentages, location, etc. That could be part of About the role or maybe Schedule? Travel is not schedule. There's no explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections because no specific content. Benefits we have list. Also there may be Skills? Not explicit separate; qualifications cover skills. Could include Skills section if we extract skills from responsibilities? But better to only include sections with clear headings in posting: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly also "Skills" not present. We'll not create empty sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to preserve all substantive information, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. At end there is some boilerplate about employment contingent etc. That's likely boilerplate; we should remove. Also the line "#Remote, #Data Center" maybe not needed? It's a tag but could be considered metadata; but it's not boilerplate; but it's minor. Could fold into About the role? Might be considered minor metadata; we can drop or include as short p. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can drop the tags. Also the line "Employment is contingent upon successful completion of pre-employment requirements..." is boilerplate legal; remove. We need to keep benefits list: Non-decaled company vehicle with most expenses paid (typo "Non-decaled" maybe "Non-decaled"? Keep as is). Multiple medical insurance plan options + dental and vision insurance, 401K retirement plan with employer match, Paid time off and company paid holidays, Paid sick time in accordance with the federal, state and local law, Tuition Reimbursement after 6 months of continuous service. We need to keep travel info: "This position can be based anywhere in the US. Travel will be 50% if based in Plymouth, MN; 75% if based any where else." This is substantive; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Location & Travel". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put under About the role. Or we could create a "Schedule" section? Travel is not schedule. Better to include in About the role. Also "Will own and direct the Data Center strategy in support of DAA’s overall Fusion 30 strategy." etc. We need to preserve all substantive info: include bullet lists for responsibilities and qualifications. Let's extract responsibilities bullet points from "What You Will Do" section. It has subheadings: Portfolio Management, General Management, Business Development. Under each there are sentences. We'll turn each sentence into

  • maybe grouping under subheadings? But we only need
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We can create a flat list of duties. Or we could keep subheadings as

      ? Not allowed; only

      for section headings. Could embed subheadings as inside
    • . Simpler: create
        with each duty as
      • . Ensure we capture all. Let's list duties: Portfolio Management: - Know and anticipate the Customer, driven by a rich understanding of customer insights, market trends and the competitive environment - Create and drive the Global Data Center Solutions strategy and value proposition - Identify growth opportunities for the Data Center business through market assessment, trend analysis and competitive insights - Define and oversee industry leading data center product and solutions portfolio, including strategic roadmap and priorities for NPI and business model innovation - Lead commercialization strategies and key programs for Data Center products and solutions - Own and drive organic and inorganic innovation and growth opportunities, including potential acquisitions, partnerships, etc. - Proactively identifies potential risks and challenges impacting the Data Center Solutions strategy and develops contingency plans to mitigate these risks General Management: - Lead the Data Center solution strategy from organization assessment through creation, alignment and execution of the data center vision, mission and strategies focused on customer, workforce and business needs, in support of DAA’s 5-year Fusion plan - Deliver annual operating plans – revenues and OI - Be the Business leader for the ongoing integration efforts at recent data center relative acquisitions - Lead the Data Center team, with direct reports within the company, as well as in the recent acquisitions - Build out the Data Center Solutions team to include designing the organization and acquiring, developing, engaging and retaining best in class talent - Build capability within teams by coaching leaders, strengthening accountability, and driving a performance culture - Create internal business/product/process alignment, by providing vision and leadership to ensure the company executes on its data center strategy - Define and measure key financial indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of the Data Center Solutions operations, making data-driven adjustments as needed - Analyze financial and operational data to inform decisions, identify opportunities, and mitigate risks - Partner with finance to develop business cases, assess return on investment, and support budgeting or forecasting efforts - Maintains effective communication and collaboration across the business, acquisitions, the Global Data Center Committee, partnerships, and professional associations like ASHRAE to support the data center strategy - Serve as a role model for leadership excellence—demonstrating resilience, calm under pressure, and sound judgment - Create strong partnerships across the organization, influencing without formal authority Business Development: - Collaborate internally with key and national accounts to help develop selling opportunities - Build out rep network for Data Center offerings - Provide the Executive Team with North America Data Center market data, competitive landscape, and keys to customer and market share expansion Now qualifications bullet points: - Bachelor’s Degree or Equivalent Experience - 10+ years experience managing vertical markets; including 5+ years people leadership experience - Minimum of 3 years of Data Center market experience - Demonstrated success leading cross functional strategies resulting in sales growth and positive customer satisfaction scores - Commercial building industry experience preferred Also mention: "Success in this role will primarily be measured by data center product sales revenue, operating income, market share growth, and customer satisfaction." That's a metric; could be part of Qualifications or maybe a separate "Performance Metrics". Not in headings list; we could include under Qualifications as a note. Or under About the role? Probably under Qualifications as it's about success measurement. We'll include as a bullet. Also: "Inherent in this global enterprise is periodic interface with corporate leaders in Japan to collaborate and communicate regarding key initiatives and to gain support for strategies and priorities." That's also a qualification/expectation; could be under Qualifications. Now benefits list as given. Now About the role paragraph: combine intro sentences plus location/travel. Intro: "Join the world's largest HVAC company, named by Forbes as one of America's Best-In-State Employers 2025! The VP, Data Center Solutions develops and deploys the vertical market strategy and priorities to capitalize on the company’s strengths, build the business unit and successfully expand DAA’s data center solutions business in North America. The Data Center GM will act as a thought leader for the Data Center business globally, working with Daikin affiliates around the world. Will own and direct the Data Center strategy in support of DAA’s overall Fusion 30 strategy. This position can be based anywhere in the US. Travel will be 50% if based in Plymouth, MN; 75% if based any where else." We should keep that as

        under About the role. Now output HTML:
