We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Brief Description Assistant Store Manager About Our Company". We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each section heading only if there is real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, etc). Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting does not mention pay or schedule specifics. So we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections. Benefits: there is "What We Offer" with benefits list. So we can have Benefits section. Responsibilities: there are sections: People & Training, Customer Experience, Operations, Product & Inventory Management. Those are duties. So we can put them under Responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has "Job Required Knowledge & Skills" and also "Physical Demands & Requirements". Also "Additional Information Employment Requirements". So we can combine into Requirements (maybe separate Qualifications and Skills). But we need to decide sections: we can have Requirements (including experience, skills, physical demands). Could also have Qualifications and Skills separate if content distinct. The posting includes "Job Required Knowledge & Skills" which lists abilities. Also "Physical Demands & Requirements". Also "Employment Requirements". Could combine into Requirements section. Skills maybe separate but we can put under Skills. However we must not create thin sections. Better to have a few substantive sections: About the role (maybe from General Position Summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (including knowledge, skills, physical demands, employment requirements), Benefits. Possibly also "About Our Company" could be part of About the role? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role (from General Position Summary and About Our Company). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (maybe combine knowledge/skills/physical/employment). Benefits (What We Offer). No Pay or Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, accessibility, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive info: need to keep details like company description, store count, headquarters, product lines, customization, collaborations, etc. Also the general position summary, duties bullet points, etc. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep all specifics.

We need to format using headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what constitutes a list. Many duties are in paragraphs with sentences separated by periods. Could convert each duty sentence into
- . But we must preserve all info; we can keep as prose within
if not list. However instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have a series of items, we should make a list. The duties are grouped under headings People & Training, Customer Experience, Operations, Product & Inventory Management. Each group has multiple sentences. Could treat each sentence as list item. That would be a lot but okay.
Similarly for Requirements: we have knowledge & skills list (Established ability..., Strong interpersonal..., Ability to work unsupervised.) plus Physical Demands & Requirements list (Ability to occasionally lift..., Ability to occasionally climb..., Ability to constantly stand..., Ability to frequently walk..., Ability to frequently hear..., Ability to frequently visually observe..., Ability to frequently operate..., Reasonable accommodations...). Also Employment Requirements list (Candidates must possess..., Being legally authorized..., Current or future employment-based visa sponsorship...). Could combine.
Benefits: "What We Offer" list items: Comprehensive medical..., Retirement plan, 100% employer-paid benefits..., Paid Time Off, Generous employee discount..., Ongoing career development..., A collaborative..., Early Wage Access..., Uncapped monthly bonus potential.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "Reasonable accommodations may be made...". That's substantive.
We must not include duplicated lines. Need to watch for duplicates: The posting repeats some sentences? Not obvious.
We must not include application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So remove the sections after "Additional Information Employment Requirements" etc that are EEO, Notice to Applicants, Need Accessibility Assistance.
