Job Description

We need to output clean semantic HTML per rules: use

for intro paragraphs and general text,

for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). Use
  • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
    , no
    . 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. We have raw text with many

    tags and
    etc. We need to convert to proper HTML: replace
    with line breaks? But we cannot use
    tags. So we need to remove
    and maybe treat line breaks as separate paragraphs? The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. However we cannot use
    tags. So we must replace
    with something else that preserves content but not using
    . Perhaps we can treat
    as a space? But that would be removing the
    tag, which is removing content? The content is the tag itself? The instruction says preserve original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. We can change markup as needed to conform to rules. So we can drop
    tags and replace with appropriate paragraph or list formatting. We need to identify sections: The text includes headings like "Health & Safety", "Devices Strategy & Portfolio Management", "Innovation Management", etc. Those should be

    . Also there is an introductory part: "

    What we’re looking for;

    In keeping with our current business needs, we are seeking a data driven and commercially savvy product manager to lead the strategy, development and end-to-end lifecycle of the mobile data portfolio for high value customers. (S)he should meet the criteria indicated below:

    •Developing innovative connectivity propositions and 
    •Identifying new growth opportunities for the Mobile Internet business.

    " Then after that there are sections: "Health & Safety", "Devices Strategy & Portfolio Management", "Innovation Management", "Product Development & Proposition Design", "Commercial Performance", "Market Intelligence & Insights", "Strategic Partnerships & Ecosystem Development", "Agile Squad Leadership", "Customer Experience & Journey Optimization". Each with bullet points. We need to convert bullet points (starting with •) into
    • . Also need to treat headings as

      . Also need to preserve content exactly (including spaces like   which is HTML entity for non-breaking space). We should keep   as is? Probably yes. We must not use
      or
      . So we need to replace
      with either line breaks inside

      or separate

      . Since we cannot use
      , we can treat each line separated by
      as separate

      or maybe keep them within same

      separated by space? But we need to preserve content word-for-word; removing
      changes formatting but not textual content. The textual content includes line breaks? The original had
      indicating line breaks. If we remove them, we lose line break semantics. However we can replace
      with a newline character inside the same

      (which is not visible in HTML unless we use

       or CSS). But we cannot add 
      . Could we use

      to separate lines? That would add extra

      tags, which is adding markup but not altering textual content. That seems acceptable. Thus we can parse: For each segment separated by
      , we can output as separate

      if it's a paragraph, or as

    • if it's a bullet. But we also have bullet points indicated by •. Those should be
    • . The bullet symbol itself is part of content; we should keep it? Usually we would keep the bullet symbol inside
    • . The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word. So we must keep the bullet character • inside the
    • . So
    • • Accelerating smartphone adoption, driving data traffic growth through devices
    • . Similarly for others. Now we need to decide which parts are introductory paragraphs vs sections. Let's extract the raw text ignoring HTML tags for a moment: What we’re looking for; In keeping with our current business needs, we are seeking a data driven and commercially savvy product manager to lead the strategy, development and end-to-end lifecycle of the mobile data portfolio for high value customers.

Now we need to produce HTML with

      for intro paragraphs and general text,

      for section headers,
      • for list items. We need to decide what constitutes a section header. Likely each of those headings: "Health & Safety", "Devices Strategy & Portfolio Management", "Innovation Management", "Product Development & Proposition Design", "Commercial Performance", "Market Intelligence & Insights", "Strategic Partnerships & Ecosystem Development", "Agile Squad Leadership", "Customer Experience & Journey Optimization". Also maybe "How to apply" could be a section header? The instruction says use

        for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So "How to apply" should be

        . Also maybe "What we’re looking for;" could be considered intro, not a header. Thus we will wrap "How to apply" as

        . Also the bullet list under "How to apply"? Actually after that heading there is a sentence: "If you feel that you are up to the challenge and possess the necessary qualification and experience, kindly click on the apply button. Remember to attach your resume." That's general text, so

        . Now the initial part: "What we’re looking for;" maybe just a

        . Then the next paragraph: "In keeping with our current business needs, we are seeking a data driven and commercially savvy product manager to lead the strategy, development and end-to-end lifecycle of the mobile data portfolio for high value customers. (S)he should meet the criteria indicated below:" also

        . Then "Reporting to Head of Mobile Internet Tribe, the role purpose shall include:" maybe also

        . Then the bullet list under that: three bullet points (Accelerating smartphone adoption..., Developing innovative connectivity propositions..., Identifying new growth opportunities...). Those are list items, so

        • . Then after that: "The role combines product management, commercial management, customer experience, and ecosystem partnership responsibilities." maybe

          . Then there is a blank line? Then the list of requirements (starting with • 5 years...). Those are qualifications/requirements, so

          • . Then after that list, there is "How to apply" heading. Thus we need to produce HTML accordingly. We must preserve   entities. They appear after some bullet points: e.g., "Developing innovative connectivity propositions and " and "Identifying new growth opportunities for the Mobile Internet business. " Also after some bullet points in requirements list there are   after each bullet? Actually each bullet ends with   maybe due to scraping. We need to keep them exactly. Thus we need to output the exact strings including  . Now we must not use
            or
            . So we will replace
            with appropriate tags. Let's construct. Start with

            What we’re looking for;

            Then

            In keeping with our current business needs, we are seeking a data driven and commercially savvy product manager to lead the strategy, development and end-to-end lifecycle of the mobile data portfolio for high value customers. (S)he should meet the criteria indicated below:

            Then

            Reporting to Head of Mobile Internet Tribe, the role purpose shall include:

            Then
            • •Accelerating smartphone adoption, driving data traffic growth through devices
            • •Developing innovative connectivity propositions and 
            • •Identifying new growth opportunities for the Mobile Internet business. 
            Then

            The role combines product management, commercial management, customer experience, and ecosystem partnership responsibilities.

            Then we have the qualifications list. Should we wrap in
              with each
            • containing the bullet and text. The bullet includes a leading space? In original: "• 5 years of relevant experience..." There's a space after bullet. We'll keep exactly: "• 5 years of relevant experience in telecommunications, technology, consumer electronics, digital products, innovation management, or product development." plus maybe   after? Actually each bullet ends with  ? Let's check: In the raw: "• 5 years of relevant experience in telecommunications, technology, consumer electronics, digital products, innovation management, or product development.
              • Proven experience in managing device portfolios, digital products, or customer propositions. 
              • Demonstrated success in developing and launching commercially viable products and services.  
              • Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, Design Thinking, and innovation frameworks.
              • Strong understanding of mobile devices, IoT, connected technologies, and digital ecosystems. 
              • Knowledge of emerging technologies such as AI, 5G, fintech, cloud services, and smart devices.
              • Experience in strategic partnership management and vendor negotiations. 
              • Experience leading cross-functional and agile teams to deliver business outcomes. 
              • Strong track record in driving revenue growth, customer acquisition, and customer retention initiatives. 
              • Experience using data analytics and market insights to drive decision-making.
              • Experience in business case development, financial analysis, and commercial performance management." Thus each bullet ends with   except maybe some have space before  . We'll keep as is. Thus we output
                with each
              • containing the bullet line exactly as appears (including leading bullet, space, text, and trailing   if present). We'll need to preserve the   exactly. Thus:
              • • 5 years of relevant experience in telecommunications, technology, consumer electronics, digital products, innovation management, or product development.
              • • Proven experience in managing device portfolios, digital products, or customer propositions. 
              • • Demonstrated success in developing and launching commercially viable products and services.  
              • • Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, Design Thinking, and innovation frameworks.
              • • Strong understanding of mobile devices, IoT, connected technologies, and digital ecosystems. 
              • • Knowledge of emerging technologies such as AI, 5G, fintech, cloud services, and smart devices.
              • • Experience in strategic partnership management and vendor negotiations. 
              • • Experience leading cross-functional and agile teams to deliver business outcomes. 
              • • Strong track record in driving revenue growth, customer acquisition, and customer retention initiatives. 
              • • Experience using data analytics and market insights to drive decision-making.
              • • Experience in business case development, financial analysis, and commercial performance management.
              • Note: Some have trailing space before   like "services.  " we keep that. Now after that list, we have

                How to apply

                If you feel that you are up to the challenge and possess the necessary qualification and experience, kindly click on the apply button. Remember to attach your resume.

                Then we have the subsequent sections. Next heading: "Health & Safety". Should be

                Health & Safety

                Then its bullet list: two bullets. Thus
                • • Uphold the company code of conduct, policies and procedures, ensuring integrity and accountability in every aspect of your work.
                • • All employees have a responsibility to adhere to safety, health, and wellbeing policies, guidelines and procedures in all actions and decisions.
