We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. First part: About Crimson (company description). That's not about the role; maybe we can include as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for description of role. The company description could be placed under "About the role"? Usually "About the role" includes description of role and maybe company. But we can treat the initial paragraph about Crimson as part of "About the role". However we need to ensure we don't invent filler. Let's extract role description: "Strategy Consultants (Admissions Counsellors) are exemplars of Crimson Education’s philosophy dedicated to making a difference in students’ lives, helping bridge gaps between present and future goals by personalising blueprints that will become the basis of all academic, extracurricular and personal development. You will partner closely with the student and lead the Crimson team (tutors, mentors, consultants) to drive progress through long-term roadmaps and mentoring to build their candidacy through the application processes. This is a full-time position, that can be based remotely or in one of our many offices around the globe. We are open to Part-Time candidates (25-30+ hours) who have high-demand backgrounds." That's role description. Then "What Success Looks Like" bullet list of duties. Then "What Skills And Experience You’ll Need" bullet list. Then "Why work for Crimson?" bullet list of benefits etc. We need sections: About the role (maybe include role description). Responsibilities (the "What Success Looks Like" list). Requirements (maybe combine qualifications? Actually "What Skills And Experience You’ll Need" could be Skills and Experience; we could map to Requirements or Skills. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role: description of role and maybe company overview. - Responsibilities: list from "What Success Looks Like". - Requirements: maybe education/experience requirements: "Bachelor’s degree from a top 20 US university or Oxbridge (special considerations may be given to those with undergraduate admissions consulting backgrounds) Strong preference for experience with US/UK admissions consulting for the undergraduate level at top universities Passion for coaching young adults and appreciation of global perspectives Superior planning and organisational skills; experience in project management, event coordination, and product management a plus Strong written and oral communication skills Stakeholder management (collaborating with a range of internal stakeholders, students and parents) Resilience when working independently under pressure, flexible and adaptive to working in a fast-paced growing organisation Experience in education, coaching, tutoring, and admissions consulting preferred" That could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll put under Requirements. - Skills: maybe we could separate but we already have skills in that list. Could also have Skills section for "Strong written and oral communication skills" etc. But to avoid duplication, we can combine. - Benefits: from "Why work for Crimson?" includes: "Be a part of the world's leading admissions consulting firm Rapidly growing start up, with a flexible working environment where you will be empowered to structure how you work Limitless development and exposure - our internal promotions/role changes made up 33% of all recruitment last year $1000 NZD ($600 USD) individual training budget per year, we love to ‘Level Up’ (it’s one of our core values)!

Also note earlier: "This is a full-time position, that can be based remotely or in one of our many offices around the globe. We are open to Part-Time candidates (25-30+ hours) who have high-demand backgrounds." That could be Schedule or Benefits? It's about work arrangement; could be Schedule (full-time, remote, part-time). We'll include Schedule section. Pay: Not mentioned. No salary. So we should NOT include Pay section. Benefits: we have many benefits; we can include Benefits section. Qualifications: maybe we could separate education requirement as Qualifications. But we already have Requirements covering education and experience. Could also have Qualifications for degree etc. But to avoid thin sections, we can combine. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. We must not repeat job title. We must output only HTML fragment.

  • Part‑time candidates considered (25‑30+ hours per week) for high‑demand backgrounds
We must not include Pay section. Check for any repeated content: we included company description in About the role; we didn't repeat the earlier "About Crimson" paragraph; we only used role description. The initial "About Crimson" paragraph is company overview; we omitted it because it's not role-specific. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company overview is substantive information about the firm. Should we include it? It might be considered part of "About the role" or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But the allowed headings list does not include "About the company". However we could include it under About the role as part of description. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not limited to those. But we should prefer those headings. We could incorporate the company overview into About the role paragraph. That would preserve the information. Let's add a sentence about Crimson Education being the world's leading college admissions consulting firm etc. We'll incorporate into About the role. Thus About the role paragraph will include both company overview and role description. Let's rewrite About the role:

Crimson Education is the world’s leading college admissions consulting firm, with over 1,490 Ivy League offers and 2,410 to the US Top 15. We help ambitious students gain admission to the world’s top universities through expert‑led guidance and proven, data‑driven strategies.

Backed by leading VC firms (Tiger Global, Heal Partners, IceHouse Ventures, Movac) and recently closed a USD $40M Series D funding round at a USD $640M valuation, we operate across 21 markets worldwide. Strategy Consultants (Admissions Counsellors) are exemplars of Crimson Education’s philosophy dedicated to making a difference in students’ lives, helping bridge gaps between present and future goals by personalising blueprints that will become the basis of all academic, extracurricular and personal development. You will partner closely with the student and lead the Crimson team (tutors, mentors, consultants) to drive progress through long‑term roadmaps and mentoring to build their candidacy through the application processes. This is a full‑time position, that can be based remotely or in one of our many offices around the globe. We are open to Part‑Time candidates (25‑30
