We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like accommodations, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About Salesforce (intro) maybe not needed? The instruction: use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly.
We have "About The Role" section: includes description of role, team, etc. That's about the role.
Then "Key Responsibilities" with subpoints: Customer Outcomes & Portfolio Leadership, Team Leadership & Talent Development, Executive Engagement & Stakeholder Management, Cross-Functional Collaboration & Strategy, Operational Excellence. Those are responsibilities.
Then "Required Qualifications": list of bullet points.
Then "Preferred Qualifications And Skills": list.
Then "Leadership Attributes": maybe could be part of Skills or Qualifications? Might be separate but we can include under Skills or Qualifications. The instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. Leadership Attributes is specific content; could be placed under Skills or maybe a separate section like "Leadership Attributes" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings are limited to those list. So we need to map content to those headings. Could put Leadership Attributes under Skills or Qualifications. Probably under Skills.
Benefits: The posting mentions benefits later: "Salesforce offers a variety of benefits to help you live well including: time off programs, medical, dental, vision, mental health support, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and an employee stock purchasing program." Also earlier: "Unleash Your Potential When you join Salesforce, you’ll be limitless in all areas of your life. Our benefits and resources support you to find balance and be your best, and our AI agents accelerate your impact so you can do your best." So we have benefits content.
Pay: The posting includes salary range: "The typical base salary range for this position is $221,900 - $390,300 annually There is a different range applicable to specific work locations. In California and New York, and select cities in the metropolitan areas of Boston, Chicago, Seattle, and Washington DC, the base pay range for this role in those locations is $266,800 - $426,900 per year." So we have pay info.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No mention of work schedule (full-time, remote, etc). So we should not include Schedule section.
Also there is mention of travel: "Ability and willingness to travel up to 50% regionally". That could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements. Could be under Requirements (maybe under Required Qualifications). We'll keep it in Required Qualifications as a bullet.
We must not include boilerplate like accommodations, EEO, privacy statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all the content from About The Role, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications And Skills, Leadership Attributes, Benefits, Pay.
We need to format as HTML: use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide what goes into each section.
Section headings:
- About the role: content from "About The Role" paragraph(s). Could include the introductory paragraph about Salesforce? Actually "About Salesforce" is generic company description; maybe we can include under About the role? But the instruction says use heading for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can put the role description under About the role.
- Responsibilities: combine the Key Responsibilities bullet points (the five categories) each with subpoints. We'll need to create
- for each main responsibility, and maybe nested
for subpoints? The instruction: use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. We'll do top-level
with each responsibility as - , and inside each
- we can have
for subpoints.
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and also travel requirement? We'll put Required Qualifications under Requirements heading.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications And Skills under Qualifications? But we already used Qualifications for required? Actually we have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications And Skills. The headings list includes Qualifications (maybe for required) and Skills (maybe for preferred). But we can decide: Use Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications, Skills for leadership attributes? Or we could combine.
Better: Use:
- About the role: role description.
- Responsibilities: key responsibilities.
- Requirements: required qualifications.
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications and skills.
- Skills: leadership attributes (maybe). Or we could put leadership attributes under Skills.
- Benefits: benefits description.
- Pay: salary range.
We must not create empty sections.
