We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The job summary is given. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes a job summary, responsibilities (principal accountabilities), qualifications (key experience and skills). No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. We should not include metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO statement. So we need to produce sections: maybe "About the role" (job summary), "Responsibilities" (principal accountabilities), "Qualifications" (key experience and skills). Possibly also "Skills" but qualifications already includes skills; but we can combine. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Use

Possibly also "Skills" but qualifications already includes skills; but we can combine. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Use for each heading. Use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the content from job summary, responsibilities, qualifications exactly (or close). Must not omit details. Must not add extra.
We need to format responsibilities: The responsibilities are under "Principal Accountabilities" with subheadings Net Sales, Sell Thru etc. We need to turn that into a list? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert each bullet point into
- . However the responsibilities are paragraphs with many sentences; we can break them into list items per duty. We need to preserve all info; we can create list items for each distinct duty. Might be many. We need to be careful not to lose detail.
Let's parse responsibilities section:

We need to split into list items. Could be many. We'll produce a
- with each distinct responsibility as
- . We'll try to capture each sentence or clause.
Let's break:
Net Sales:

* Strategic calculation of weekly run rate to ensure optimal stock levels of old and new SKU (duplicate)
* Align with brand teams on by SKU liquidation strategy (i.e., markdown) (duplicate)
We could deduplicate duplicates but must preserve all info; duplicates are present in source; we could keep them but maybe we can note they appear twice; but preserving all info means we should not remove content; duplicates are content; removing them would be summarizing away detail? Might be considered removing duplicate lines, which is allowed: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines". So we can remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate the repeated lines.
Thus for Minimize RTV liability we can list each unique action once.
