We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes introductory paragraph about Disney Theatrical Group culture, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. 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. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Intro paragraph: "At Disney Theatrical Group we strive to create a culture of innovation, inclusion, collaboration, and creativity. Stories shape how we see ourselves and everyone around us. As storytellers, we have the power to not only uplift and inspire, but also to champion the spectrum of voices in our world. If you want to help tell compelling and enduring stories, we want to hear from you." This is about the company culture and mission. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Disney Theatrical Group". The allowed headings include "About the role". We'll use that. - Then "Disney Theatrical Group is currently seeking a Vice President, Producing & Development." That's the job title; we shouldn't repeat as heading. - Then "Responsibilities" heading with a paragraph describing responsibilities. We'll create

    Responsibilities

    and then a
    • for each bullet? The responsibilities are in a paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We need to extract list items. The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the responsibilities into list items. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can break into logical items. Let's parse responsibilities text: "Deputy and key producing partner to EP. This leader will provide executive level leadership, driving creative direction, building and managing high performing creative teams, and driving problem solving. They will manage a stimulating and ever evolving portfolio of theatrical titles that are in various stages of development, beginning with the early formation of a team thru to the opening of an initial production, and finally the opening of the original first-class production. In addition, they will be a key partner in reimagining legacy titles, creating models that allow for creative excellence as well as consistent profitability. The successful candidate will understand intuitively what it means to work in partnership, leverage internal relationships and can create consensus and communicate effectively.Leads both as a both a Producing executive, independently driving projects and managing high profile title page creatives, while also overseeing a group of high value independent team members, providing guidance, leadership and problem solving.Capable of leading script and score development sessions, working to create consensus within the creative team.Leads creative sessions and meetings with designers and directors, allowing for broad discussion but also contributing substantively to design esthetic and direction, and skilled at re directing when there is misalignment.A key partner in developing large production budgets and is part of the team accountable to those budgets.Key partner in the ongoing development of new and emerging forms of live entertainment across the divisionServe as the escalation point for complex issues affecting creative output, production timelines, and ultimately the ability for the team to move forward.

We need to break into list items. Each sentence or clause can be an item. Let's produce concise items preserving meaning. Potential items: - Serve as deputy and key producing partner to the Executive Producer. - Provide executive-level leadership, driving creative direction, building and managing high‑performing creative teams, and driving problem solving. - Manage a stimulating, ever‑evolving portfolio of theatrical titles across all development stages—from initial team formation through opening of the first‑class production. - Partner in reimagining legacy titles, creating models that balance creative excellence with consistent profitability. - Work intuitively in partnership, leveraging internal relationships to build consensus and communicate effectively. - Lead as a producing executive: independently drive projects, manage high‑profile title‑page creatives, and oversee a group of high‑value independent team members, providing guidance, leadership, and problem solving. - Lead script and score development sessions, fostering consensus within the creative team. - Lead creative sessions and meetings with designers and directors, contributing substantively to design aesthetic and direction, and redirecting when misaligned. - Partner in developing large production budgets and share accountability for those budgets. - Partner in the ongoing development of new and emerging forms of live entertainment across the division. - Serve as the escalation point for complex issues affecting creative output, production timelines, and team progress; lead with calm, structured leadership in ambiguous, time‑sensitive situations. - Maintain strong internal communication cadence to reduce surprises and escalate decisions appropriately. - Together with the EP, lead and develop a strong team of producers capable of leading and problem‑solving their own projects and teams. - Embrace an accountability culture with clear ownership, measurable outcomes, and continuous improvement. - Collaborate closely with the VP of Production and the VP of Talent and Content Development. - Build relationships with other areas of TWDC as appropriate. - Navigate extensive global travel for new development, often on‑site as the sole producing representative, overseeing tech and rehearsals, exercising decision‑making authority over all production aspects, and expertly solving on‑site problems while unifying large groups toward desired outcomes. That seems comprehensive. Now "Basic Qualifications" section: list of qualifications. We'll create

        Basic Qualifications

        and
        • items. List: - 10 or more years proven experience in a wide variety of creative idioms/mediums, especially musical theater, with a very strong producing background - Proven experience successfully leading creative teams and navigating complicated production challenges. - Proven ability to work in a professional creative environment, with particular focus on strong interpersonal and excellent communication skills. - Proven communication skills with ability to communicate and influence effectively with all levels in the organization. - Demonstrated ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously. - Proven outstanding creative collaboration skills. - Demonstrated aptitude for driving work in a dynamic, fast‑paced and challenging work environment. - High self‑motivation to pursue and overcome opportunities/challenges. - Proven ability to work successfully outside of the USA, ability to be culturally supple and integrate TWDC standards in a way that is respectful and uplifts gifts and values of whatever country we are working in. Now compensation: "The hiring range for this position in New York, NY is $233,100 to $301,600 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate’s geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered." We have pay info (range). Also mention bonus and benefits. According to instructions, we should include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state a hiring range. So we can include a Pay section. Benefits: they mention "full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits". That's somewhat generic but still states benefits. However instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does mention benefits, albeit generic. We could include a Benefits section with that statement. But we need to avoid filler like "varies" etc. The statement is specific enough: "full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits". That's not placeholder. So we can include Benefits. Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Schedule. We also have "About the role" section: we can put the introductory paragraph(s) about Disney Theatrical Group culture and mission. That's substantive. We should not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. Now produce HTML fragment:
