We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "The Opportunity" and description. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep all substantive info.
We need to parse content:
- About the role: The opening paragraph(s) describing opportunity: "Ready to take the next step...". Could be considered About the role.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What Your Day Will Look Like": items: Support Sales Performance, Assist With Deals & Closing, Coach & Support the Sales Team, Support CRM & Lead Management, Champion the Guest Experience, Assist With Daily Sales Operations, Be a Leader on the Floor.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "What You Bring" list: Proven automotive sales experience..., Previous Assistant Sales Manager..., Strong closing..., Ability to coach..., Strong understanding of CRM..., Excellent communication..., Strong business acumen..., Comfortable working..., Proficiency with dealership CRM/DMS..., Valid VSA Licence..., Valid BC Class 5 Driver’s Licence..., Positive attitude...
We could split into Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred) and Skills (maybe overlapping). But we need to decide which sections to include based on content. The posting includes "What You Bring" which is a mix of requirements and skills. Could treat as Requirements. Could also have Skills section for things like "Strong closing, negotiation, and deal-structuring skills", "Ability to coach, motivate, and hold others accountable", "Strong understanding of CRM management...", "Excellent communication and relationship-building skills", "Strong business acumen and results-driven mindset", "Comfortable working in a fast-paced, target-driven sales environment", "Proficiency with dealership CRM/DMS systems and Microsoft Office". Could also include "Valid VSA Licence or ability to obtain one", "Valid BC Class 5 Driver’s Licence with a clean driver’s abstract". Those could be Requirements.
We also have Benefits: "Full-time, permanent leadership opportunity", "Performance-driven compensation", "Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, mental wellness support, and more", "Career growth and development through paid training, leadership development, NADA courses, and internal advancement opportunities", "Supportive, high-performance dealership culture", "Flexible schedule", "Opportunity to develop your skills and prepare for future Sales Manager and senior leadership opportunities". Also "Compensation: $100,000 to $140,000+ annually (Commission-Based)". So we have Pay and Benefits sections.
Schedule: "Flexible schedule" mentioned under Benefits. Could be separate Schedule section if we have specific schedule info. The posting says "Flexible schedule". That's specific enough for Schedule section. But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". It's specified as flexible. So we can include Schedule.
Pay: Compensation range given. So include Pay.
Benefits: list of benefits.
Now we need to output HTML with
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep all substantive info.

Now we need to output HTML with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. So no
Assistant Sales Manager
. Use headings as per list.
We need to decide ordering: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have content for Requirements (mandatory) and Skills (abilities). Could also have Qualifications (maybe overlapping). But to avoid thin sections, we could merge Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes both mandatory and preferred. Or we could have Requirements and Skills separate. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to have About the role, Responsibilities, What You Bring (could be Requirements/Skills combined), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But headings must be from the list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to use Requirements and Skills, skipping Qualifications if not distinct. Or combine Requirements and Skills into one Requirements section. But we need to follow instruction: use those headings for section headings. It doesn't say we must use all; we can use subset. So we can use About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering what you bring), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That seems reasonable.
Now we need to extract prose for About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "Who Thrives Here?" maybe. Let's capture:
"The Opportunity Ready to take the next step in your automotive leadership career?
