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. The posting includes:
- Job ID: 18150 Alternate Locations: (metadata) - we can drop or put in short
. Probably drop.
- Newell Brands description: "Newell Brands is a leading consumer products company..." That's about the company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description. The posting includes "Job Overview Execute the following roles and responsibilities to deliver an exceptional guest experience and drive sales growth." That's a prose overview.
- Responsibilities: bullet list (though not bullet but sentences). We'll need to convert to
- .
- Qualifications: list of qualifications.
- Pay: "The NY base pay range for this position is from $16.00 to $20.00. Salary will be based on prior experience related to the skills required for this position." That's specific pay info, so we should include a Pay section.
- Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not include Benefits.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly (though flexible hours, weekends, holidays mentioned under Qualifications). That's schedule info but it's part of qualifications. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Schedule is not explicitly stated as a separate section; it's mentioned as "Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends and holidays." That's schedule info but not a dedicated schedule section. We could include it under Qualifications or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably keep it in Qualifications as a bullet.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed separate; communication and interpersonal abilities etc. Could be under Qualifications.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe Job Overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay.
We need to use
for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
Company description: "Newell Brands is a leading consumer products company with a portfolio of iconic brands like Graco®, Coleman®, Oster®, Rubbermaid®, Sharpie® and Yankee Candle® - and 24,000 talented teammates around the world. Our culture is built on values in action: Integrity, Teamwork, Passion for Winning, Ownership, and Leadership. We work together to win, grow, and make a real impact—supported by a high-performing, inclusive, and collaborative environment where you can be your best, every day."
Job Overview: "Execute the following roles and responsibilities to deliver an exceptional guest experience and drive sales growth."
Responsibilities: list:
- Guest Experience: Contribute to creating a welcoming store environment focused on delivering an exceptional guest experience.
- Understand guest needs through product knowledge and make emotional connections.
- Maximize sales potential by implementing company selling strategies and building lasting customer relationships to enhance loyalty.

- Team Experience: Support the Store Manager in building a high-performing team that represents Newell Brand Values: Passion for Winning, Integrity, Leadership, Ownership, and Teamwork.

- Operational Experience: Support inventory management activities and control expenses.
- Incorporate safety and loss prevention measures into daily activities and follow company policies and Code of Ethics.
- Consistently strive to achieve or exceed all Key Performance Indicator (KPI) goals through strategic planning, effective execution, and continuous performance improvement.
Qualifications:
- High School completion or equivalent GED.
- Proven experience in a retail environment (1+ years preferred).
- Strong communication and interpersonal abilities.
- Must be able to work in a fragrance-filled environment.
- Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends and holidays.
Pay:
- The NY base pay range for this position is from $16.00 to $20.00.
- Salary will be based on prior experience related to the skills required for this position.
We should not include duplicated lines: there is a repeated Newell Brands description later (the second paragraph about Newell Brands and its subsidiaries). That is duplicate; we should keep only one instance. The first description includes the culture etc. The second is similar but includes more brands list and mentions NASDAQ etc. We need to preserve ALL substantive information but not duplicate. So we need to merge unique info: The first paragraph includes: leading consumer products company with portfolio of iconic brands like Graco®, Coleman®, Oster®, Rubbermaid®, Sharpie® and Yankee Candle® - and 24,000 talented teammates around the world. Our culture is built on values in action: Integrity, Teamwork, Passion for Winning, Ownership, and Leadership. We work together to win, grow, and make a real impact—supported by a high-performing, inclusive, and collaborative environment where you can be your best, every day.
The second paragraph: Newell Brands (NASDAQ: NWL) is a leading global consumer goods company with a strong portfolio of well-known brands, including Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco, Coleman, Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Yankee Candle, Paper Mate, FoodSaver, Dymo, EXPO, Elmer’s, Oster, NUK, Spontex and Campingaz. We are focused on delighting consumers by lighting up everyday moments. Newell Brands and its subsidiaries are Equal Opportunity Employers and comply with applicable employment laws. EOE/M/F/Vet/Disabled are encouraged to apply.
We need to keep substantive info: the second paragraph includes additional brands list, NASDAQ ticker, mention of being global, additional brands, focus on delighting consumers, EEO statement (which is boilerplate to remove). The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop the EEO line. Also drop "Encouraged to apply" maybe considered boilerplate? It's part of EEO. Likely remove.
Thus we keep: Newell Brands (NASDAQ: NWL) is a leading global consumer goods company with a strong portfolio of well-known brands, including Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Graco, Coleman, Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Yankee Candle, Paper Mate, FoodSaver, Dymo, EXPO, Elmer’s, Oster, NUK, Spontex and Campingaz. We are focused on delighting consumers by lighting up everyday moments.
We also keep the first paragraph's details about 24,000 teammates, culture values, etc. Combine them without duplication.
Thus About the role / company overview section could be called "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" for the overview of the role and company.
We need to include the Job Overview sentence as part of About the role? Probably yes.
Thus About the role section will contain prose: combine company description and job overview.
Let's craft:

We are focused on delighting consumers by lighting up everyday moments. Job Overview: Execute the following roles and responsibilities to deliver an exceptional guest experience and drive sales growth.
That seems to preserve all.

Note: The original had headings like "Guest Experience:", "Team Experience", "Operational Experience". We could keep them as part of list items or as subheadings? The instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can keep them as list items with the heading included.

.
Content: The NY base pay range for this position is from $16.00 to $20.00. Salary will be based on prior experience related to the skills required for this position.
We should not include "commensurate with experience" etc. It's specific.
Now we must not include any other sections like Benefits, Schedule.
We must not include any boilerplate like EEO etc.
We must not include Job ID or Alternate Locations as headings; we can drop them.
Now output
