We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The big picture description: "Axios is a media company dedicated to providing trustworthy, award-winning news content in an audience-first format. We’re hiring an administrative assistant to support the Executive Assistant to the Founders Office with the fast-moving personal, family, and logistical needs of Axios co-founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen." Also "Why it matters: This role will provide essential administrative support to the Founders Office, helping keep personal logistics, travel details, expenses, family needs, and other recurring tasks organized and moving with care, discretion and strong follow-through." Also "Go deeper: This is a full-time support role for someone who is energized by high-trust, high-context work and wants to grow in an executive support environment." Also "The puzzle: How do you help the Founders Office run more smoothly by taking ownership of the details that can otherwise slow the system down? Bonus: you’re excited to use AI tools to make admin workflows smarter, faster and more organized." Also "The support: You’ll report to the Executive Assistant and help create more capacity across the Founders Office by managing recurring logistics, personal tasks, family-related needs and administrative follow-through." Also "The mix: This role will include personal and family logistics, travel support, expenses, vendor coordination, errands, appointments, gifting, events and other administrative needs." Also "The pace: Jim and Mike move quickly, and their personal and professional logistics often overlap. The right person will be calm, organized and responsive as details shift, including occasional time-sensitive needs outside standard business hours." Also "The orbit: You’ll work closely with the Chief of Staff and other key stakeholders around Jim and Mike, supporting the broader system that keeps the founders’ lives and work moving." Also "The opportunity: This is a great role for someone earlier in their administrative career who wants to learn how a high-functioning executive office works and grow into broader administrative or executive support responsibilities over time." Also "Worthy of your time: Ideal candidates will embody a proactive, entrepreneurial spirit, demonstrate a passion for Axios’ mission and have the following skills:" then list. Thus About the role could be a paragraph summarizing. Responsibilities: The mix: personal and family logistics, travel support, expenses, vendor coordination, errands, appointments, gifting, events and other administrative needs. Also The support: managing recurring logistics, personal tasks, family-related needs and administrative follow-through. Also The pace: calm, organized, responsive as details shift, occasional time-sensitive needs outside standard business hours. Also The orbit: work closely with Chief of Staff and other key stakeholders. Also maybe "managing recurring logistics, personal tasks, family-related needs and administrative follow-through." Also "helping keep personal logistics, travel details, expenses, family needs, and other recurring tasks organized and moving with care, discretion and strong follow-through." So we can list responsibilities. Requirements: Might be "1-3 years of administrative, executive support, family office, personal assistant or high-touch operations experience". Also "Strong organizational skills and enthusiasm for managing logistics, including travel, expenses, calendars, reservations, appointments, errands and vendor coordination". Also "Comfort handling personal and family-related logistics with discretion, maturity and care". Also "Excellent attention to detail, especially when managing fast-changing schedules, travel plans and expense tracking". Also "Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to interact professionally with executives, colleagues, family members, vendors and external contacts". Also "Ability to manage a high volume of tasks, prioritize effectively and follow through without constant direction". Also "A customer-service mindset and willingness to jump in where needed". Also "Sound judgment, discretion and integrity when handling confidential or sensitive information". Also "Proficiency with Google Suite and comfort learning new tools". Also "Interest in using AI tools to work smarter, move faster and improve administrative workflows". Also "Event planning, hospitality, or complex travel coordination experience is a plus". Also "Desire to grow into broader executive support responsibilities over time". Also maybe "Proactive, entrepreneurial spirit, demonstrate a passion for Axios’ mission". That could be part of Qualifications or Skills. Qualifications: Might be overlapping with Requirements. Usually Qualifications are education or certifications. Not present. Could skip Qualifications if no specific content. Skills: Could list specific skills like "Google Suite proficiency", "AI tools interest", "event planning", etc. But we already have many skill-like items in Requirements. We need to decide sections: maybe combine Requirements and Skills? But we need to follow instruction: include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Qualifications omitted if no distinct qualifications. Pay: Starting salary range $25.00 - $30.00 per hour, dependent on factors, remote-optional, etc. Also mention compensation philosophy. So we have Pay. Benefits: List: 401(k) with employer match, Robust PPO and high-deductible health insurance options on BCBS network, Employer HSA contribution for high-deductible health plan, Dental and vision coverage, Primary caregiver 12-week paid leave, Generous vacation policy plus holidays, One mental health day per quarter, Annual learning and development stipend, $100 monthly work-from-home stipend, Tele-mental health services through Headspace, OneMedical membership including tele-health, Personal health advocacy resources through HealthAdvocate, Inclusive fertility, hormonal health and family forming benefits through Carrot Fertility, Access to Axios “Family Fund”, Increased work flexibility for parents and caretakers, Virtual company-sponsored social events, Strong positive work environment, Commitment to open inclusive diverse work culture. Also mention AI literacy expectation? That's more about expectations, not benefit. Could be part of Requirements or Skills. Schedule: Not explicitly stated besides full-time support role, remote-optional, occasional time-sensitive needs outside standard business hours. No explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". So we should not create Schedule section unless specific content. The posting says "This is a full-time support role". That's not a schedule detail. Could mention "occasional time-sensitive needs outside standard business hours". That's not a schedule. Probably we omit Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must not repeat job title. Must not include metadata like Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. That is tricky: we need to include all details from the posting. If we paraphrase, we risk losing detail. But we can keep the details in prose or list items. We need to ensure we include all substantive info: The big picture, why it matters, go deeper, puzzle, bonus, support, mix, pace, orbit, opportunity, worthy of your time (list of skills/experience), starting salary, compensation philosophy, remote-optional, AI literacy expectation, benefits list. We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal etc. We must not include application instructions. We must not include "Equal Opportunity Employer Statement". So we cut that. Now craft HTML. We'll start with

    About the role

    then a

    containing the big picture, why it matters, go deeper, puzzle, bonus, support, mix, pace, orbit, opportunity. Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine into one

    with sentences. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into multiple

    for readability but still fine. We'll do:
