Pay section: we have salary. Could embed in Benefits? But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into "Compensation & Benefits". However they gave specific headings list; we can use Pay and Benefits separately if they have content. Pay: we have salary range. Benefits: we have list. So we can have both. Schedule: we have On-site. Could be a short paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for job title. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. Structure:

Benefits: list of other benefits. Schedule: On-site. Let's do:
