We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role? The posting includes Overview (intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay info (Digital Solution Area Specialists IC3 - typical base pay range...), maybe Benefits? It mentions "Certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation." but no specifics, so we should not create Benefits section unless specific content. Pay section: we have pay range details. Should we include Pay heading? Yes, because posting states pay range. Schedule? Not mentioned. Benefits? Not specific. So include sections: Overview? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The overview could be "About the role". We'll put
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The overview could be "About the role". We'll put About the role
then prose from Overview (first paragraph(s) up to "As an Azure Specialist you will be a solution sales expert...").
We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines. Remove the EEO paragraph and accommodation request. Also remove "This position will be open for a minimum of 5 days..." etc. Also remove "Microsoft is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Find additional benefits and pay information here: https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/us-corporate-pay". Also remove "Certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation." (since no specifics). Also remove "Digital Solution Area Specialists IC3 - The typical base pay range..." we keep that as Pay section.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are many bullet-like sentences but not explicitly list. We could format each responsibility as
- within a
. The responsibilities section includes multiple paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually the text: "Responsibilities Lead Cloud & AI Customer Engagements Serve as the trusted Cloud & AI advisor..." It's a paragraph with multiple sentences. Could treat as prose. But instruction: use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Since responsibilities are a list of duties, we could split into items. However we must preserve all substantive information; splitting into list items is okay as long as we don't lose info. We'll create
with each duty as - . Need to parse responsibilities section.

Now Responsibilities: We'll create list items for each bullet. Let's extract each sentence after each heading? We'll just split by periods that start new capitalized phrase? Might be easier to just create list items for each distinct duty as they appear in the text separated by line breaks in original. The original had line breaks after each heading? Actually the text had line breaks after each heading like "Lead Cloud & AI Customer Engagements" then sentences. We'll treat each heading as a separate

Simplify: We'll create
