We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Must include headings using

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. Job description includes: "Job Description" then description paragraphs. Then "Essential Functions" with bullet-like paragraphs (each line). Then "Qualifications" with bullet list. Then "Preferred" etc. Then "Required Knowledge Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" then sections. Then "Preferred Knowledge" etc. Then "Preferred Technical And Professional Skills". Then "Skills & Competencies" with subcategories. Then "About Us" (EEO boilerplate) which we should remove (EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate). Also remove cookie/navigation/legal etc. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate. We need to decide which sections to output. We have content for: - About the role: The initial description paragraphs (Job Description) could be considered "About the role". We'll put that under

About the role

with

paragraphs. - Responsibilities: The "Essential Functions" list (multiple bullet-like paragraphs). We'll output as

  • each line. - Requirements: Could be the "Qualifications" section (Bachelor's degree, 7 years experience, etc.) plus maybe "Required Knowledge" etc. But we have separate sections for Qualifications, Skills, etc. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. Likely: - About the role: introductory paragraph(s). - Responsibilities: Essential Functions. - Requirements: maybe the "Qualifications" (minimum qualifications) plus maybe "Required Knowledge"? But they also have a separate "Qualifications" heading. Actually they list both "Qualifications" and "Required Knowledge Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" which is like skills. The instructions say we can have sections for Qualifications and Skills. So we should put: - Qualifications: the bullet list under "Qualifications" (Bachelor's degree, 7 years experience, 5 years supervisory, etc.) plus maybe Preferred? But preferred is not required; we could include under Qualifications as preferred? Usually qualifications section includes both required and preferred. But we should preserve all substantive info; we can include both required and preferred under Qualifications, maybe separate paragraphs. - Skills: the "Required Knowledge Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" plus "Preferred Knowledge" plus "Preferred Technical And Professional Skills" plus "Skills & Competencies". That's a lot; we could combine into Skills section with appropriate subheadings? But we only allowed headings from the list; we cannot add custom headings like "Preferred Knowledge". However we could put all that content under Skills section as paragraphs and lists. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so we should NOT include those headings. Thus we will output:

    About the role

    ... paragraphs from Job Description ...

    Responsibilities

    • ... each essential function line ...
    • ...

    Qualifications

    ... required qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 7 years experience, 5 years supervisory, etc.) plus maybe Preferred? We'll include both required and preferred as paragraphs.

    Skills

    ... combine Required Knowledge, Preferred Knowledge, Preferred Technical And Professional Skills, Skills & Competencies ... maybe as paragraphs and lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must remove EEO boilerplate (About Us). So we omit that. Now we need to extract the exact text. Let's copy the relevant parts. Job Description paragraph(s): "The Assistant Vice President for IT Strategic Operations & Administration serves as a key advisor to the Vice President for Information Technology and provides leadership for the operational, administrative, financial, and governance functions of the Information Technology division.

We need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep each bullet as a

  • containing the full sentences (maybe combine sub-bullets). The original had headings within Essential Functions (like "Strategic Planning & Organizational Effectiveness") then lines. We could treat each heading as part of the li or separate? Probably better to keep each bullet as a separate li that includes the heading and its details? But the instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can treat each line after the heading as separate li. However the headings themselves are not duties but categories. We could either make them li as well (just the heading) or incorporate them into the first li. To preserve all info, we could make each heading as a
    • with maybe? But we cannot add extra tags beyond

      ,
      • ,

        . We could embed strong inside li? Not prohibited but maybe safer to just put heading as li text and then subsequent lines as separate li. That preserves all info. Thus we will produce a list where each item is either a heading line (e.g., "Strategic Planning & Organizational Effectiveness") or a duty line. But we need to ensure we don't lose the duty lines. We'll include them all. Now Qualifications section: "Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Organizational Leadership, Higher Education Administration, Finance, or related field. Seven (7) years of progressively responsible leadership experience in strategic operations, administration, organizational planning, finance, project management, or related disciplines. Five (5) years of supervisory leadership experience. Experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives.

Preferred Master's degree in Business Administration, Higher Education Administration, Organizational Leadership, Public Administration, or related field. Higher education leadership experience. Experience managing budgets & portfolios exceeding $5M. Experience implementing governance and portfolio management frameworks. Experience leading organizational change initiatives. Certifications such as: PMP PgMP ITIL Lean Six Sigma Change Management Certification Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) or similar financial credentials" We need to preserve all. We'll output as

        maybe with line breaks? Could also use

        • for each qualification item. The instruction: Use
          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is a list of requirements, so we should use
            • . So we will split each sentence into li items. Thus:
            • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Organizational Leadership, Higher Education Administration, Finance, or related field.
            • Seven (7) years of progressively responsible leadership experience in strategic operations, administration, organizational planning, finance, project management, or related disciplines.

            • Certifications such as: PMP PgMP ITIL Lean Six Sigma Change Management Certification Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) or similar financial credentials
            • Now Skills section: We need to combine Required Knowledge, Preferred Knowledge, Preferred Technical And Professional Skills, Skills & Competencies. Let's extract each. Required Knowledge Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: (the heading seems duplicated "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" after "Required Knowledge". We'll treat as heading.
