Business Analyst III

for section headers,

for paragraphs,

• for list items. Must preserve original content word-for-word, no summarizing. Need to identify sections: "About the role:" then paragraph(s). Then "What you'll do:" then bullet points? The text after "What you'll do:" includes many sentences, but they are not bullet list originally; they are sentences separated by spaces. The instruction: Use
  • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). The original text does not have explicit list markers; but we could treat each sentence as a list item? However we must preserve original content word-for-word, not add or remove. If we wrap each sentence in
  • , we are not adding content, just structuring. That's allowed as long as we don't change wording. The original text has no bullet characters; but we can still convert to list items as long as we keep the text exactly. The instruction: "Use
    • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills)". It implies we should detect list items. The given text after "What you'll do:" seems like a series of duties separated by spaces, but not bullet points. Could treat each sentence as a list item. Similarly "What you bring:" includes sections like "What You'll Bring Qualifications", then bullet-like lines? Actually it's a paragraph with line breaks? The raw text shows line breaks after some sections but not bullet characters. We need to decide. Better approach: Keep paragraphs as

      for each block separated by double newline. Use

      for section headers: "About the role:", "What you'll do:", "What you bring:". Then inside each section, if there are clear list-like items (like after "What you'll do:" there are many sentences each starting with a capital letter and ending with a period, separated by spaces). Could treat each sentence as

      . But we must preserve original content word-for-word; we can split sentences at periods followed by space and capital letter? That might alter punctuation? We would keep the sentences intact, just wrap them in

      . That's okay. Similarly for "What you bring:" there are sub-sections like "What You'll Bring Qualifications", "Experience", "Business & Industry Knowledge", etc. Those are headings within the section. Should we treat them as

      ? The instruction says use

      for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So we could treat subheadings like "Experience", "Business & Industry Knowledge", etc as

      as well. But the original text includes them as part of paragraph. If we wrap them in

      , we are adding tags but not altering text. That's allowed. We need to output only HTML, no markdown fences. Let's parse the raw text: About the role: [paragraph] What you'll do: Information Seeking & Analysis Perform high-level analysis activities during the Ideation and Discovery phase of projects, identifying impacts, dependencies and considerations.

      But we might want to break the "What you bring:" into subheadings with

      for each bolded section like "Experience", "Business & Industry Knowledge", etc. However 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 headings, but we should follow the pattern. The "What you bring:" section includes subheadings like "Experience", "Business & Industry Knowledge", "Communication & Relationship Management", etc. Those are indeed section headers like Experience, Skills, etc. So we could treat them as

      and the content after each as

      or

      . However the original text does not have line breaks separating them; they are just concatenated with spaces. For example: "Experience In-depth experience in one or more of the following SAP modules: Plant Maintenance (PM) Sales and Distribution (SD) Materials Management (MM) Financial Accounting (FI) Business & Industry Knowledge Business understanding of the broader Retail and Finance industries. Business Process Management experience. Experience working across all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Good business and IT acumen. Communication & Relationship Management Excellent written and verbal communication skills...." If we wrap each subheading in

      , we need to split the text accordingly, which would alter the original ordering? We would be moving text around but not changing wording. It's acceptable as long as we keep the same words. However we must be careful not to inadvertently change meaning by splitting incorrectly. The safest is to keep the whole "What you bring:" as a single

      paragraph, preserving original content exactly. The instruction: "If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

      tags". The "What you bring:" does have clear sections (like Experience, Business & Industry Knowledge, etc.) but they are not formatted as separate lines. However we could still treat them as sections and use

      . But we risk mis-splitting. Given the instruction to preserve ALL original content word-for-word, and not to add, remove, summarise, or rephrase, we can still add tags around text without altering the text. Splitting into multiple

      and

      does not remove or add text; we just wrap parts. That's okay. However we must ensure we don't inadvertently add spaces or lose spaces. If we split at the exact boundary of each subheading, we need to know where each subheading ends. The text: "Experience In-depth experience in one or more of the following SAP modules: Plant Maintenance (PM) Sales and Distribution (SD) Materials Management (MM) Financial Accounting (FI) Business & Industry Knowledge Business understanding of the broader Retail and Finance industries. Business Process Management experience. Experience working across all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Good business and IT acumen. Communication & Relationship Management Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Excellent relationship management and collaboration skills. Customer-focused approach to stakeholder engagement and solution delivery. Leadership & Team Development Willingness to coach and mentor junior team members. Ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment across teams. Contributes positively to team development and knowledge sharing. Planning & Delivery Good planning and time management skills. Results-driven approach to delivery and execution. Self-starter with a can-do attitude. Problem Solving & Decision Making Strong analytical thinking capabilities. Sound decision-making skills. Ability to assess business needs, risks, costs and benefits to recommend appropriate solutions. Nice to Have ARIS experience. Jira experience." We need to identify subheadings: "Experience", "Business & Industry Knowledge", "Communication & Relationship Management", "Leadership & Team Development", "Planning & Delivery", "Problem Solving & Decision Making", "Nice to Have". Also there is "What You'll Bring Qualifications" at start. Thus we could structure:

      What you bring:

      What You'll Bring Qualifications

      Degree with 5 to 8 years related experience. Advanced Business Analysis certification such as CBAP, AAC or similar.

      Experience

      In-depth experience in one or more of the following SAP modules: Plant Maintenance (PM) Sales and Distribution (SD) Materials Management (MM) Financial Accounting (FI) Business & Industry Knowledge Business understanding of the broader Retail and Finance industries. Business Process Management experience. Experience working across all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Good business and IT acumen.

      ... etc. But note that after "Experience" the text includes "Business & Industry Knowledge" as part of the same sentence before a period. Actually the sentence: "In-depth experience in one or more of the following SAP modules: Plant Maintenance (PM) Sales and Distribution (SD) Materials Management (MM) Financial Accounting (FI) Business & Industry Knowledge Business understanding of the broader Retail and Finance industries. Business Process Management experience. Experience working across all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Good business and IT acumen." So "Business & Industry Knowledge" appears
