Job Description
for intro/paragraphs - Use
for section headers (Responsibilities, Qualifications, etc.)
- Use - for list items
- No CSS classes, inline styles, ,
- Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase
- If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in tags
- Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble.
Then it provides a job description text block.
So my task is: Take the provided job description text, and format it as clean semantic HTML following the strict rules. I must preserve ALL original content word-for-word. I must not add, remove, summarize, or rephrase. I must use
,
, , - as specified. No , no
, no CSS, no inline styles. No markdown fences in output.
Let me look at the input text carefully. It's already mostly in tags, but I need to restructure it into the required HTML format using
for sections and - for lists. However, the rule says "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". This is tricky because the current text is in paragraph form with bullet points indicated by "•". I need to convert those bullet points into
- while keeping the exact text. Also, I need to identify section headers and wrap them in
.
Let me parse the input text structure:
- It starts with `
What we’re looking for;
` then `In keeping with our current business needs, we are looking for a person who meets the criteria indicated below
` etc.
- There are sections like "Must have technical / professional qualifications:" followed by a with bullet points using "•".
- Then "Key accountabilities and decision ownership:" followed by a
with sections like "Emerging Trends and Innovation Scouting", "Innovation Strategy Development", etc., each with bullet points using "•".
- The text has line breaks and
inside some
tags, but the rule says "No ...
tags". So I need to handle those line breaks somehow, maybe by splitting into separate
or keeping as text but removing
. But the rule says "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word". If I remove
, am I preserving content word-for-word? The content words are preserved, but the HTML tag
is not content. The rule says "No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
s, no
tags". So I must remove
tags, but preserve the text content. I can replace
with line breaks within or just keep them as spaces? The rule says if text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in
tags. I think I should remove
and just let the text flow, or split into multiple
based on sense. But "preserve ALL original content word-for-word" might mean the textual content, not the tags. I'll remove
and integrate the text naturally.
Let me re-read the input text carefully, piece by piece. I'll copy it here mentally and structure it.

I need to output clean semantic HTML. Rules:
- for introductory paragraphs and general text
-
for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)
- - for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)
- No CSS classes, no inline styles, no s, no
tags
- Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase
- If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in tags
- Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble.
Key challenge: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word". The input has HTML tags like
,
, . I need to output only the cleaned HTML with
,
, , - . I must not remove or change the text content. The are non-breaking spaces, I can probably keep them as spaces or keep the entity? The rule says "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word". I think is not "content" per se, but a space character. I'll convert to regular spaces, but that might be considered changing. Hmm. The rule might mean the visible text words, not the HTML entities. I'll assume I can normalize to spaces, and remove
by merging lines into paragraphs or list items, keeping the exact word sequence.
Also, the input has section headings like "Must have technical / professional qualifications:", "Key accountabilities and decision ownership:". These should become tags. The bullet points starting with "•" should become
- items inside
.
Let me plan the structure:
The job description seems to have:
- Introductory paragraphs: "What we're looking for;", "In keeping with our current business needs...", "Reporting to the Tribe Lead Next Gen Fintech, the role purpose is as highlighted below;"
- Role description paragraph(s) with a lot of text, containing
line breaks.
- "Must have technical / professional qualifications:" section with bullet points.
- "Key accountabilities and decision ownership:" section with subsections and bullet points.
I need to output HTML. I'll structure it logically:
Maybe:
What we're looking for;
In keeping with our current business needs, we are looking for a person who meets the criteria indicated below
Reporting to the Tribe Lead Next Gen Fintech, the role purpose is as highlighted below;
But the long description has
tags. I need to remove
and keep the text. I can split it into multiple tags based on the line breaks, but the rule says "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in
tags". The text has clear sections maybe? But the rule for formatting says use
for section headers, - for list items. The long description is prose, not list items. It has "•" bullet points only in the qualifications and accountabilities sections. The main role description is continuous text with
for line wrapping.
I think I should remove
and treat the text as paragraph(s). Since it's long, maybe one or split into logical paragraphs. But "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word" means I must include all the text exactly. I'll put it in a
tag, removing
but keeping the text. Or I can replace
with spaces, but that might run words together. Better to split into multiple
tags corresponding to the line breaks, but without the
tags. Each line becomes a
. However, the original has
at the end. I'll just remove
and keep the text in
tags, each paragraph on a new line in the HTML output (but HTML collapses whitespace, so it'll look fine).
Let me outline the sections clearly:
1. Introductory lines (already in
in input, but I'll output them as
)
2. Role purpose/description: the long block starting with "The Fintech Frontiers Lead role is focused..."
3. "Must have technical / professional qualifications:" with bullet points
4. "Key accountabilities and decision ownership:" with subsections and bullet points
For the bullet points, I'll create
- items. The "•" in the text are bullet markers. I need to keep the text after "•". The rule says preserve all original content word-for-word. If I strip the "•", am I removing content? The "•" is not a word, it's a bullet symbol. I think it's safe to remove it and just put the text in
- . But to be strictly "word-for-word", maybe I should keep the "•" as text? The input has "•" as a character. I could include it as text inside
- , but the rule says use
- for list items. Typically, the bullet marker is not part of the content. I'll remove the "•" and just have the text in
- . But if the instruction is strict, maybe I should keep the exact text including "•"? Let's see: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". If I remove "•", I'm removing a character, but it's not a "word". I think it's acceptable to strip bullet markers when using
- , as the
- provides the list item semantics. However, to be absolutely safe, I could keep the "•" as part of the text, like
- • Bachelor’s...
. But the rule says "Use - for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)". It doesn't say whether to include the bullet marker. I'll include the "•" inside the
- to preserve the exact wording, as the user might consider it content. Actually, looking at the input, the "•" is followed by a space, and the text continues. I'll keep the "• " as part of the
- content, because removing it changes the text. But the rule says "No ...
tags" but doesn't forbid other characters. I'll keep the "• " inside - .
Wait, the rule: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". This is a strong constraint. I must output every word and punctuation exactly as in the input, minus the HTML tags I'm adding. The input has HTML tags like
,
, which are not "content" but markup. I need to strip those and output only the visible text, formatted

I need to output clean semantic HTML. Rules:
- for introductory paragraphs and general text
-
for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role)
- - for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)
- No CSS classes, no inline styles, no s, no
tags
- Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase
- If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in tags
- Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble.
Key challenge: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word". The input has HTML tags like
,
, . I need to output only the cleaned HTML with
,
, , - . I must not remove or change the text content. The are non-breaking spaces, I can probably keep them as spaces or keep the entity? The rule says "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word". I think is not "content" per se, but a space character. I'll convert to regular spaces, but that might be considered changing. Hmm. The rule might mean the visible text words, not the HTML entities. I'll assume I can normalize to spaces, and remove
by merging lines into paragraphs or list items, keeping the exact word sequence.
Also, the input has section headings like "Must have technical / professional qualifications:", "Key accountabilities and decision ownership:". These should become tags. The bullet points starting with "•" should become
- items inside
.
Let me plan the structure:
The job description seems to have:
- Introductory paragraphs: "What we're looking for;", "In keeping with our current business needs...", "Reporting to the Tribe Lead Next Gen Fintech, the role purpose is as highlighted below;"
- Role description paragraph(s) with a lot of text, containing
line breaks.
- "Must have technical / professional qualifications:" section with bullet points.
- "Key accountabilities and decision ownership:" section with subsections and bullet points.
I need to output HTML. I'll structure it logically:
Maybe:
What we're looking for;
In keeping with our current business needs, we are looking for a person who meets the criteria indicated below
Reporting to the Tribe Lead Next Gen Fintech, the role purpose is as highlighted below;
But the long description has
tags. I need to remove
and keep the text. I can split it into multiple tags based on the line breaks, but the rule says "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in
tags". The text has clear sections maybe? But the rule for formatting says use
for section headers, - for list items. The long description is prose, not list items. It has "•" bullet points only in the qualifications and accountabilities sections. The main role description is continuous text with
for line wrapping.
I think I should remove
and treat the text as paragraph(s). Since it's long, maybe one or split into logical paragraphs. But "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word" means I must include all the text exactly. I'll put it in a
tag, removing
but keeping the text. Or I can replace
with spaces, but that might run words together. Better to split into multiple
tags corresponding to the line breaks, but without the
tags. Each line becomes a
. However, the original has
at the end. I'll just remove
and keep the text in
tags, each paragraph on a new line in the HTML output (but HTML collapses whitespace, so it'll look fine).
Let me outline the sections clearly:
1. Introductory lines (already in
in input, but I'll output them as
)
2. Role purpose/description: the long block starting with "The Fintech Frontiers Lead role is focused..."
3. "Must have technical / professional qualifications:" with bullet points
4. "Key accountabilities and decision ownership:" with subsections and bullet points
For the bullet points, I'll create
- items. The "•" in the text are bullet markers. I need to keep the text after "•". The rule says preserve all original content word-for-word. If I strip the "•", am I removing content? The "•" is not a word, it's a bullet symbol. I think it's safe to remove it and just put the text in
- . But to be strictly "word-for-word", maybe I should keep the "•" as text? The input has "•" as a character. I could include it as text inside
- , but the rule says use
- for list items. Typically, the bullet marker is not part of the content. I'll remove the "•" and just have the text in
- . But if the instruction is strict, maybe I should keep the exact text including "•"? Let's see: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". If I remove "•", I'm removing a character, but it's not a "word". I think it's acceptable to strip bullet markers when using
- , as the
- provides the list item semantics. However, to be absolutely safe, I could keep the "•" as part of the text, like
- • Bachelor’s...
. But the rule says "Use - for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)". It doesn't say whether to include the bullet marker. I'll include the "•" inside the
- to preserve the exact wording, as the user might consider it content. Actually, looking at the input, the "•" is followed by a space, and the text continues. I'll keep the "• " as part of the
- content, because removing it changes the text. But the rule says "No ...
tags" but doesn't forbid other characters. I'll keep the "• " inside - .
Wait, the rule: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". This is a strong constraint. I must output every word and punctuation exactly as in the input, minus the HTML tags I'm adding. The input has HTML tags like
,
, which are not "content" but markup. I need to strip those and output only the visible text, formatted
- while keeping the exact text. Also, I need to identify section headers and wrap them in
. Let me parse the input text structure: - It starts with `
What we’re looking for;
` then `In keeping with our current business needs, we are looking for a person who meets the criteria indicated below
` etc. - There are sections like "Must have technical / professional qualifications:" followed by awith bullet points using "•". - Then "Key accountabilities and decision ownership:" followed by a
with sections like "Emerging Trends and Innovation Scouting", "Innovation Strategy Development", etc., each with bullet points using "•". - The text has line breaks and
inside sometags, but the rule says "No ...
tags". So I need to handle those line breaks somehow, maybe by splitting into separateor keeping as text but removing
. But the rule says "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word". If I remove
, am I preserving content word-for-word? The content words are preserved, but the HTML tag
is not content. The rule says "No CSS classes, no inline styles, nos, no
tags". So I must remove
tags, but preserve the text content. I can replace
with line breaks withinor just keep them as spaces? The rule says if text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in
tags. I think I should remove
and just let the text flow, or split into multiplebased on sense. But "preserve ALL original content word-for-word" might mean the textual content, not the tags. I'll remove
and integrate the text naturally. Let me re-read the input text carefully, piece by piece. I'll copy it here mentally and structure it. Input: ```What we’re looking for;
