There's no separate "About the role" prose besides the list. We could still include an

About the role

with a

that summarizes the role using the duties? But that would be summarizing/inventing? Might be okay to combine first few sentences into a paragraph describing the role. However instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Summarizing might be considered summarizing away detail.
