We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - About The Team (maybe not a required heading; but we can treat as About the team? Not in list of allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to these headings where appropriate. We have: - About The Team: description of team. Not exactly About the role. Could be part of About the role? But we have separate About The Role section later. - About The Role: description of role. - What You'll Do: list of responsibilities. - What We're Looking For: list of qualifications/requirements/skills. - What's in it for you? Benefits. - Other Stuff To Know: includes hiring decisions, pronouns, etc. Might be boilerplate; we should remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. This includes "We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills, merit and business needs, in compliance with applicable local laws." That's EEO-ish; we should remove. Also "When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use..." that's application instruction; remove. Also "Please note that interviews are conducted virtually." That's application instruction; remove. Also "Check out lifeatcanva.com for more info." remove. Thus we keep substantive content: location/hybrid schedule? The posting says: "This is a hybrid role in Austin, Texas, so you must be able to commute to our office 2 times a week." That's schedule info (hybrid, 2 days/week). So we can create a Schedule section. Pay: not mentioned. So we should not create Pay section. Benefits: we have "What's in it for you?" with list: Equity packages, Health benefits plans, 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution, Inclusive parental leave policy, Annual Vibe & Thrive allowance, Flexible leave options. That's benefits. We also have location info: "Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a campus in Austin, Texas which is now home to our US operations." That's location; could be part of About the role? Not a heading. Could be included in a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But we have no heading for location. Could embed in About the role paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the location/hybrid schedule details. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to avoid repeating the job title as heading. The job title is "Higher Education Account Executive". Not to repeat. We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). We need to output only HTML fragment. Thus structure:

    About the Team

    maybe not allowed? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, but we should prefer those headings. However we have About The Team content; maybe we can treat as About the role? But we also have About The Role separate. Could we combine About the Team and About the Role into About the role section? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could merge About the Team into About the role section, as it's about the team/context. That would reduce sections. Thus we could have:

    About the role

    containing prose about team and role description. Then

    Responsibilities

    with list from What You'll Do. Then

    Requirements

    or

    Qualifications

    or

    Skills

    for What We're Looking For. The content includes experience, fluency, sales experience, scaled portfolio management, consultative approach, understanding of technology adoption, communication skills, business planning, cross-functional collaboration, growth mindset. That's a mix of qualifications and skills. We could put them under Requirements (or Qualifications). Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings, we need to decide. The content is more like qualifications/requirements. Could use Requirements. Then

    Benefits

    with list from What's in it for you. Then

    Schedule

    with hybrid role info (2 days/week in Austin, Texas). Also maybe location. We should not include Pay. We need to preserve all substantive information: location (Sydney, Austin), hybrid schedule, team description, role description, responsibilities list, requirements list, benefits list. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact phrasing? Not necessarily exact, but we should not lose detail. We can paraphrase but must keep all info. Safer to keep sentences as is, maybe split into

    paragraphs. We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO etc. Let's extract sections. **About the Team** content: "At Canva, our Higher Education Account Executive team is dedicated to helping educational institutions of all kinds create stunning visual content that inspires and engages students.

Keep maybe location/hybrid schedule? Actually location/hybrid schedule is in "Where And How You Can Work". Let's extract that. **Where And How You Can Work** content: "Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a campus in Austin, Texas which is now home to our US operations. This is a hybrid role in Austin, Texas, so you must be able to commute to our office 2 times a week." Thus we need to include that info. Could be part of About the role or a separate Schedule section. Since we have Schedule heading allowed, we can put that there. Thus final sections:

    About the role

    (contains About the Team + About The Role prose)

    Responsibilities

    (list)

    Requirements

    (list) (or Qualifications; but we have both headings allowed; we can choose Requirements)

    Benefits

    (list)

    Schedule

    (prose about location and hybrid) We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML. We need to wrap each section appropriately
