We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide sections: About the role (Job Summary + Work Location?), Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications), Skills (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short

The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. If we combine them into a single list without indicating which are minimum vs preferred, we might be losing nuance. But we could keep two headings inside the section?
