VP, Fixed Price Strategy & Business Operations, Global Luxury

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Sotheby's" then "THE ROLE". The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. The posting includes: About Sotheby's (company description). That could be "About the role"? Actually "About Sotheby's" is about company, not role. The instruction says headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly. We have: - About Sotheby's: description of company. Could be placed under a heading "About the role"? But that's not accurate. However the instruction says use those headings for section headings; but we can also use other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are examples; we can use those headings if appropriate. The posting includes "THE ROLE" which is a heading; we could treat that as "About the role". The content under THE ROLE describes the role overview. So we can put that under

About the role

. Then we have Responsibilities section with bullet points. So

Responsibilities

with

• ... etc. Then we have "Ideal Experience & Competencies" which includes qualifications, skills, requirements. We could split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have a single section "Requirements" that includes all the ideal experience and competencies. Or we could have "Qualifications" and "Skills". But we need to decide. We also have Pay: "The proposed base salary for this position ranges from $150,000-$180,000. In addition to base salary successful candidates are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus, as well as a competitive benefits package." So we have Pay and Benefits. We could make a Pay section with salary range, and a Benefits section mentioning discretionary bonus and competitive benefits package. However the instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary range and mentions discretionary bonus and competitive benefits package. So we can include Pay and Benefits. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We also need to include any other metadata like location? Not needed. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, privacy notices, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. Thus output:

  About the role

  ... content from THE ROLE paragraph ...

  Responsibilities

  • ... each bullet ...
  ...

  Requirements

  ... combine Ideal Experience & Competencies paragraphs into prose or list? Could be a

  list of bullet points. The content is a list of competencies. We'll make
  • ... each bullet.

  Pay

  The proposed base salary for this position ranges from $150,000-$180,000. In addition to base salary successful candidates are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus.

  Benefits

  A competitive benefits package is offered.

  We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not included. Check for any duplicated lines: we must not include boilerplate like "To view our Candidate Privacy Notice..." etc. Remove. Also remove "The Company is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Now let's extract the substantive content. About Sotheby's: we might not need a separate section; but we could incorporate into About the role? The instruction says About the role heading; we could put company description there? Actually About the role should describe the role, not company. But we have no separate "About the company" heading allowed. However we could still include it as a paragraph under About the role? Might be okay but could be considered filler. Better to include a short paragraph about the company under About the role? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It didn't forbid adding other headings, but we should follow examples. However we could treat "About Sotheby's" as "About the role"? Not ideal but maybe acceptable. Alternatively we could omit the company description entirely? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Could add a

  About the company

  but that's not in the list; but the instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. So we can use other headings as needed, but we should avoid creating thin sections. Adding About the company is substantive. So we can add

  About the company

  with the Sotheby's description. Thus sections: About the company, About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Benefits. Now let's extract each. About the company paragraph: "Established in 1744, Sotheby’s promotes access and ownership of exceptional art and luxury objects through auctions, private sales and retail. Our deep expertise across 70 selling categories is supported by a leading technology platform and a global network of specialists spanning 40 countries. Selling categories include Contemporary Art, Modern and Impressionist Art, Old Masters, Chinese Works of Art, Jewelry, Watches, Wine and Spirits and Design, as well as collectible cars and real estate through RM Sotheby’s and Concierge. Sotheby’s Financial Services is a leading art lender and provides capital solutions for collectors around the world, having originated more than $12 billion in loans since its inception. Sotheby’s new global headquarters is now open at the iconic Breuer building at 945 Madison Avenue in New York City." That's all. About the role: The paragraph after "THE ROLE": "The VP of Fixed Price Strategy & Business Operations for Global Luxury will serve as the strategic second-in-command to the Global Head of Fixed Price for Luxury, acting as a strategic, operational, and organizational leader to drive growth and scalability. This role will oversee commercial and growth initiatives, business operations and cross-functional execution. The successful candidate will combine an entrepreneurial mindset with strong operational discipline, balancing innovation and growth with the complexities of a dynamic and evolving market landscape." We'll put that. Responsibilities: list of bullet points under "Responsibilities". The posting has headings: Strategic Leadership & Business Operations, New Business Development, Growth & Transformation, Commercial Infrastructure & Process Optimization. Each with bullet points. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can flatten into a single list or keep subheadings? The instruction: use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can just make a flat list of all duty items. However we might lose the grouping but it's okay. We'll extract each bullet.
