Applications Support Analyst
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. From posting: There's a description about the foundation (mission). Could be "About the role" maybe? Actually "Structure" and "Focus" sections. We can treat "About the role" as description of role. Provide
with that content. Then "Specific Duties" -> Responsibilities section. Then "Requirements" -> Requirements section (maybe includes qualifications). Could also have "Qualifications" but we can combine. Then "What We Offer" includes salary range and benefits. So we need Pay section (salary) and Benefits section (benefits). Also maybe "Physical Demands", "Work Environment", "Pre-Hire Requirements" - but those are not in the list of allowed headings; we should not create extra headings. We could fold them into a short
or drop. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." For Physical Demands etc, they are not headings we have; we could include them as a paragraph under maybe "About the role" or separate? But we should not create new headings not in list. So we can include them as a
after Benefits maybe, but not as heading. However they are substantive info; we should preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include them somewhere, maybe as a
under a generic section like "Additional Information". But we cannot create heading not in list. Could we treat them as part of "Benefits"? No. Could we include them as a
after the Benefits section without a heading? The instruction: "Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." It didn't forbid having stray
elements not under a heading. It said use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. It didn't say we cannot have
outside headings. So we can include paragraphs for extra info.
Thus we will produce:
