We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - FT/PT Status – Full-Time - Benefits Eligibility – This position is eligible for a full benefits package. - Salary – $54.11 - $86.57 Hourly Wage - Remote Work / In-Office – Hybrid - Recruiter – Liz Vander Linden | evander@utah.gov | 801-957-7232 - Application Deadline – 10/14/2026* (but we should drop application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. The deadline is part of application instructions? Probably we should drop it as it's application instruction. Also recruiter contact maybe also considered application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions. Likely we should drop recruiter contact and deadline. However we need to preserve substantive information; recruiter contact is not substantive about the job. So we can drop. - The job description: The Division of Technology Services (DTS) is seeking an AI Director to shape and lead the future of artificial intelligence across Utah’s executive branch state government. Aligned with Governor Cox’s Pro-Human AI Initiative, this pivotal executive role is responsible for establishing state-wide AI strategy, leading enterprise governance, and managing the adoption of secure, human-centered AI technologies. As AI Director, you will directly manage the DTS Enterprise AI Team operating the AI Factory—a centralized innovation hub that ideates, pilots, and monitors AI projects across state agencies—while championing responsible use, robust cybersecurity, privacy compliance, and workforce literacy for thousands of state employees. Occasional travel within and outside the state will be required. - Then "Key Responsibilities" with bullet points. - Then "Qualifications" with bullet points. - Then "Preferred Qualifications/Skills" with bullet points. - Then "About The Role" with Location – 4315 S 2700 W Taylorsville, Utah, 84129 United States; Background Check Required – You must successfully pass a criminal history check.; Drug Test Required – Yes; Schedule Code – AR - Employees who make statewide policy - Then "Why You Should Join Our Team" with Benefits paragraph. - Then "The Agency" paragraph. - Then EEO statement (should be removed as boilerplate). We need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay: Salary – $54.11 - $86.57 Hourly Wage. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: We have Schedule Code – AR - Employees who make statewide policy. Also maybe hybrid remote/in-office. The posting mentions Remote Work / In-Office – Hybrid. So schedule info includes hybrid and schedule code. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: The posting says Benefits Eligibility – This position is eligible for a full benefits package. Also later "Why You Should Join Our Team Benefits" paragraph describing benefits: Job Stability, Career Growth, Meaningful Work, Supportive Work Environment, health and retirement benefits, generous paid time off, onsite gym, education reimbursement, discounted bus passes, etc. So we can include Benefits section. About the role: We have description paragraph about role. Also location etc maybe part of About the role. Could include location in About the role. Responsibilities: The "Key Responsibilities" list. Requirements/Qualifications: There's "Qualifications" list and also "Preferred Qualifications/Skills". Could combine into Requirements section? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can have Qualifications section for required qualifications, and maybe Skills section for preferred? But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine required and preferred into Qualifications. Or we could have Requirements (mandatory) and Skills (preferred). But we need to ensure we have substantive content for each heading. We have a lot of qualifications; we can put them under Qualifications. Preferred qualifications could be under Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Now we need to extract content. About the role: Should include the introductory paragraph(s) describing the role, plus location, background check, drug test maybe? But location and background check could be part of About the role or separate. Since we have About the role heading, we can include the descriptive paragraph plus location and maybe background check/drug test as part of About the role. However the instruction says do not repeat job title as heading. It's fine. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location, background check, drug test, schedule code maybe? But schedule code goes to Schedule section. Thus About the role: include the paragraph starting "The Division of Technology Services (DTS) is seeking an AI Director..." plus maybe the sentence about occasional travel. Also location line: "Location – 4315 S 2700 W Taylorsville, Utah, 84129 United States". Also maybe "Background Check Required – You must successfully pass a criminal history check." and "Drug Test Required – Yes". These are substantive. We could also include "Schedule Code – AR - Employees who make statewide policy" but that belongs to Schedule. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet under Key Responsibilities. Need to capture each bullet as

  • . The bullet points are long sentences; we need to preserve them. Qualifications: list each bullet under Qualifications (the required qualifications). The list includes many bullet points; we need to capture each. Skills: list each bullet under Preferred Qualifications/Skills. Benefits: include the eligibility sentence and the "Why You Should Join Our Team Benefits" paragraph plus the agency paragraph? The agency paragraph is more about the agency; could be part of Benefits? Might be better to include under Benefits as it's about benefits and work environment. The agency paragraph: "The Agency We have great business partners...". That's more about agency; could be included under Benefits or maybe a separate section but we don't have Agency heading. Could incorporate into Benefits as part of why join. We need to avoid duplication: The Benefits paragraph includes list of benefits: Job Stability, Career Growth, Meaningful Work, Supportive Work Environment, health and retirement benefits, generous paid time off, onsite gym, education reimbursement, discounted bus passes, etc. We'll capture that as prose or list? Could be list. Pay: Salary – $54.11 - $86.57 Hourly Wage. Schedule: Hybrid remote/in-office, plus Schedule Code – AR - Employees who make statewide policy. Also occasional travel required? That could be under Responsibilities maybe but we already have travel mentioned in role description. Could include in Schedule? Probably better to keep travel under Responsibilities or About the role. We'll keep schedule as hybrid and schedule code. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

    and content. We must not include any markdown fences. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO statement, application instructions, recruiter contact, deadline. Also remove duplicated lines: There's a duplicated "Curriculum Design & Technical Upskilling:" appears twice under Qualifications; we need to preserve but not duplicate? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If it's duplicated in the source, we should keep it as is? Probably we should keep both occurrences as they appear; but it's weird. Might be a copy-paste error. But we should preserve as is. However we could deduplicate? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines are still substantive information; removing them would be summarizing away detail. So we should keep both. Similarly there may be duplicated bullet points; we keep them. Now let's extract the exact text. I'll copy the relevant sections. Intro paragraph: "The Division of Technology Services (DTS) is seeking an AI Director to shape and lead the future of artificial intelligence across Utah’s executive branch state government.
