Job Description

We need to output clean semantic HTML with

,

,
  • . No CSS, no divs, no br. Must preserve all original content word-for-word. The input already contains HTML tags like

    , , , etc. We need to transform to required tags only, preserving text content exactly. We must remove any tags not allowed (, , etc.) and replace with appropriate semantic tags: headings for section headers, paragraphs for intro paragraphs, lists for bullet points. We need to parse the content: The job description includes: - Intro paragraph with Job Title, Reports to, Location, Direct Reports (these are within

    with strong tags). We need to keep that as a paragraph (

    ) containing the same text but without strong tags? The rule: preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That means we must keep the exact text, including the labels like "Job Title: " etc. However we cannot keep tags because they are not allowed. But we must preserve the text content word-for-word; we can drop the tags as they are not part of the content? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". If we remove the tags, we are removing markup, not content. The content is the text inside. So we can strip tags and keep the text. That seems acceptable. Thus we need to output only

    ,

    ,
    • . No other tags. We need to identify section headers: "JOB PURPOSE", "KEY RESPONSIBILITIES", then subheaders like "People Strategy & Executive Business Partnership", etc. Those are underlined with . According to rules, we should use

      for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). The subheaders like "People Strategy & Executive Business Partnership" could be considered a subsection header; we should treat them as

      as well? The instruction says use

      for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It doesn't forbid using

      for other headers. Likely we should treat each bold/underlined heading as

      . The main sections: JOB PURPOSE, KEY RESPONSIBILITIES, JOB PROFILE. Under KEY RESPONSIBILITIES there are several bold underlined headings: People Strategy & Executive Business Partnership, Workforce Planning, Organisation Design & Productivity, Talent Acquisition, Succession & Leadership Development, Performance, Compensation, Benefits & Reward, Employee Relations, Culture & Employee Experience, Governance, Regulatory Compliance & People Risk, Board, Management & Regulatory Reporting, HR Operations, Data & Service Delivery, HR Team Leadership. Under JOB PROFILE: Key Skills & Competencies, Qualifications & Experience, Success Measures. Thus we will output each heading as

      heading, then following paragraphs or lists. We need to convert bullet points (lines starting with •) into
      • . The bullet points may have line breaks after each bullet; we need to group consecutive bullet lines into a single
          with multiple
        • . Also there may be paragraphs that are not bullet points. We must preserve all text exactly, including punctuation, spaces, etc. We need to be careful about line breaks: In HTML, we can just have

          containing the text; line breaks inside are not significant. We'll just output the text as is. We need to remove any   entities? They are part of original content; we should keep them as is? They are not visible but part of content. Probably we should keep them. However they are not allowed tags; but they are character entities. We can keep them as  . That's fine. We must not add any extra text. Let's extract the plain text from the given HTML, preserving the content. I'll manually parse. Original snippet:

          Job Title: Head Human Resources, Ecobank Rwanda
          Reports to: Managing Director (Country); functional / matrix reporting to Regional and Group Human Resources
          Location: Rwanda
          Direct Reports: HR Manager, HR Business Partners and other HR team members in line with the approved organisation structure

          So the text inside that p (excluding tags) is: "Job Title: Head Human Resources, Ecobank RwandaReports to: Managing Director (Country); functional / matrix reporting to Regional and Group Human ResourcesLocation: RwandaDirect Reports: HR Manager, HR Business Partners and other HR team members in line with the approved organisation structure" But there were
          tags separating lines. The
          indicates line breaks; we need to preserve line breaks? The rule says no
          tags. We could represent line breaks as separate

          paragraphs? But the instruction: "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

          tags". The original had line breaks within a single

          . We could convert each line separated by
          into its own

          to preserve the line breaks as paragraph breaks. However that would add extra

          tags, but that's okay as we are representing the same content with paragraph breaks. The content originally had line breaks; converting them to

          preserves the separation. The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word; line breaks are part of content. Representing them as

          tags is okay because it's still the same textual content, just different markup. However we must not add extra text; adding

          tags is markup, not text. That's allowed. Thus we should split on
          and make each line a

          . Let's do that. Lines: 1. "Job Title: Head Human Resources, Ecobank Rwanda" 2. "Reports to: Managing Director (Country); functional / matrix reporting to Regional and Group Human Resources" 3. "Location: Rwanda" 4. "Direct Reports: HR Manager, HR Business Partners and other HR team members in line with the approved organisation structure" Now after that we have:

          JOB PURPOSE

          That's a heading line. We'll convert to

          JOB PURPOSE

          . Then a paragraph(s) after that until next heading. The paragraph after JOB PURPOSE: "The Head Human Resources is the Bank’s senior people leader and a member of the Executive Management team, responsible for translating business strategy into an integrated people, organisation and culture agenda. The role serves as a trusted adviser to the Managing Director, Executive Committee and leadership team on workforce strategy, organisation effectiveness, leadership, talent, performance, reward, employee relations, culture and people risk.
          The role provides strategic leadership of the Human Resources function while ensuring disciplined execution of core HR operations and a consistent employee experience. It balances business growth and productivity priorities with strong governance, fair people practices, cost stewardship and long-term capability building.
          In a regulated banking environment, the Head Human Resources is accountable for ensuring that people practices comply with applicable labour laws, banking and regulatory expectations, internal policies and Group standards. The role maintains effective engagement with internal and external assurance stakeholders, supports Board and management governance, and ensures that material people risks are identified, escalated and mitigated.
          The role also connects the country organisation to Regional and Group Human Resources, ensuring alignment with enterprise-wide people priorities while adapting them appropriately to the local market and business context.
           " We need to split on
          to preserve line breaks as paragraphs? The original had line breaks after each sentence. We'll treat each
          as a new paragraph. Thus we will have multiple

          elements. Then we have

          KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

          =>

          KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

          Then we have subheadings with ... . We'll convert each to

          . Then bullet points under each subheading. We need to parse bullet points: They are lines starting with "•". There may be line breaks after each bullet. We'll group consecutive bullet lines into a
            . After each subheading, there may be a paragraph before bullets? In the given text, after each subheading heading line, there is no extra paragraph; directly bullet list. We'll need to detect bullet lines. After the bullet list, there may be a blank line (maybe  ) before next subheading. We'll need to handle the   as a paragraph? It appears as "
             " after the JOB PURPOSE paragraph. That is a line containing a non-breaking space. We'll treat that as a paragraph with just  ? Probably we can ignore empty paragraphs? But we must preserve content;   is a character. We could output a

             

            . That preserves it. Similarly after Success Measures there is " " at end. We'll include those. Now after JOB PROFILE heading:

            JOB PROFILE

            =>

            JOB PROFILE

            Then subheading Key Skills & Competencies =>

            Key Skills & Competencies

            (note the & should be kept as &? The original text includes & inside the HTML. The content is "Key Skills & Competencies". The & is an HTML entity representing &. To preserve content word-for-word, we should keep the entity as &? The original source shows &. If we output plain text, we would output "&". But that would change the representation. However the instruction says preserve original content word-for-word. The content is the text after rendering? Usually they mean the visible text. But to be safe, we should keep the exact characters as they appear in the source, including &. However the output is HTML; we can include & as is. That would be the same as original. So we keep &. Similarly other occurrences: "People Strategy & Executive Business Partnership", etc. Thus we will keep &. Now bullet points under Key Skills & Competencies: each bullet line starts with "•". We'll group. Then subheading Qualifications & Experience =>

            Qualifications & Experience

            Then bullet points. Then subheading Success Measures =>

            Success Measures

            Then bullet points. Then trailing  . Now we need to output only HTML tags

            ,

            ,
            • . No other tags. We must ensure we close tags properly. Let's construct. We'll go step by step. First intro lines as

              each.

              Job Title: Head Human Resources, Ecobank Rwanda

              Reports to: Managing Director (Country); functional / matrix reporting to Regional and Group Human Resources

              Direct Reports: HR Manager, HR Business Partners and other HR team members in line with the approved organisation structure

              Then heading:

              JOB PURPOSE

              Now paragraphs from JOB PURPOSE: We need to split the text by
              . Let's extract the sentences: 1. "The Head Human Resources is the Bank’s senior people leader and a member of the Executive Management team, responsible for translating business strategy into an integrated people, organisation and culture agenda. The role serves as a trusted adviser to the Managing Director, Executive Committee and leadership team on workforce strategy, organisation effectiveness, leadership, talent, performance, reward, employee relations, culture and people risk." 2. "The role provides strategic leadership of the Human Resources function while ensuring disciplined execution of core HR operations and a consistent employee experience. It balances business growth and productivity priorities with strong governance, fair people practices, cost stewardship and long-term capability building." 3. "In a regulated banking environment, the Head Human Resources is accountable for ensuring that people practices comply with applicable labour laws, banking and regulatory expectations, internal policies and Group standards.

"The role also connects the country organisation to Regional and Group Human Resources, ensuring alignment with enterprise-wide people priorities while adapting them appropriately to the local market and business context." 5. " " (just a non-breaking space) We'll output each as

              ...

              . Ensure we keep the exact text, including the special apostrophe (Bank’s) etc. Now heading:

              KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

              Now subheading: People Strategy & Executive Business Partnership

              People Strategy & Executive Business Partnership
