We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Need to extract sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Overview, Key Responsibilities, Qualifications (Required, Preferred). Also maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present. So we should not create those sections. We need headings:

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to format content: maybe "Position Overview" as About the role? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map sections accordingly. The posting has "Position Overview" which could be About the role. "Key Responsibilities" -> Responsibilities. "Qualifications" -> Qualifications (maybe split Required and Preferred). There's also "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine under Qualifications with sub-sections? But we should not invent headings not listed. Could use

    Qualifications

    and then inside have paragraphs/lists for required and preferred. We also have "Key Responsibilities" with many bullet-like sentences but not formatted as list. We need to convert to
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should turn each responsibility into list items. Similarly qualifications: list items. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not create Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections unless present. Not present. Thus output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (Position Overview), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Qualifications (Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications). Possibly also Skills? Not separate. We need to preserve all substantive information: include details about company mission etc? The "About the role" could include the Position Overview paragraph(s). Also maybe include company description? The posting begins with "TechSur Solutions is a digital services company..." That's company overview, not role. Should we include that? It's substantive info about company; but the instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The company description is part of posting; we should include it maybe in About the role? Or maybe as a preceding paragraph before headings. Since we cannot add arbitrary headings, we can put it in a

      before the first heading. That's allowed. Thus output: start with a

      containing company description and mission. Then

      About the role

      with Position Overview paragraphs. Then

      Responsibilities

      with
      • items for each responsibility bullet. Then

        Qualifications

        with maybe two sub-sections? Could use

        but not allowed? Only headings defined are h3 for sections. Could still use

        inside? Not prohibited but better to keep to h3 only for sections. Could use

        for Required Qualifications heading as bold? But we need to preserve info; we could just have a

        with "Required Qualifications:" then list. Or we could split into two

        sections: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. But the instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we could use

        Required Qualifications

        and

        Preferred Qualifications

        . Those are not in the list but still headings; maybe okay. However they said "use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies those are examples; we can use h3 for any section headings. So we can use h3 for Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Thus final HTML:

Based in the DC metropolitan area, TechSur specializes in advanced cloud services, modernization for both IT structures and applications, leveraging Agile development, and Data Analytics.

        About the role

        TechSur Solutions is seeking an energetic, dynamic and results-oriented Business Development / Capture Manager to drive growth across the Department of Homeland Security.

The ideal candidate is a recognized and trusted participant in the DHS contracting community who has held direct, substantive conversations with DHS mission, technology, acquisition and small-business stakeholders. This person understands how DHS components buy IT services, can translate customer priorities into actionable pursuit strategies and has the initiative to create opportunities rather than wait for solicitations. The successful candidate must also understand the rapidly changing federal contracting environment, including evolving customer priorities, acquisition strategies, competitive dynamics, small-business policies, contract vehicles and technology expectations. They will know how to use artificial intelligence responsibly to improve business development, market research and capture execution. This is a hands-on growth position for a highly motivated professional who can build customer relationships, develop an informed pipeline, lead capture activities and communicate TechSur’s value directly and credibly to federal decision-makers.

        Responsibilities

        • DHS Market Development: Develop and execute TechSur’s DHS account-growth strategy across priority headquarters offices and operating components.
        • Establish and maintain direct relationships with DHS executives, program managers, contracting officials, technical leaders, acquisition stakeholders and small-business representatives.

        • Monitor changes in DHS organizational priorities, budgets, leadership, procurement strategies and mission requirements.
        • Opportunity Identification and Qualification: Build and maintain a qualified DHS pipeline aligned with TechSur’s capabilities, contract vehicles, past performance and growth objectives.

        • Lead bid/no-bid recommendations using customer access, competitive posture, contract-vehicle availability, capability alignment, teaming requirements and probability of win.
        • Apply a “capture smart or kill fast” approach to ensure resources are concentrated on winnable opportunities.
        • Assess how federal procurement reforms, emerging technologies, budget pressures, category management and changing small-business strategies may affect TechSur’s competitive position.
        • Capture Management: Lead capture activities from initial identification through solicitation release, proposal transition and contract award.
        • Develop and maintain capture plans, call plans, stakeholder maps, competitive assessments, win strategies and pursuit schedules.

        • Adjust capture strategies as customer priorities, procurement approaches and competitive conditions evolve.
        • AI-Enabled Business Development and Capture: Use artificial intelligence tools to improve the speed, quality and consistency of business-development and capture activities.
        • Apply AI to opportunity discovery, customer research, acquisition-forecast analysis, competitive intelligence and market-trend identification.
        • Use AI-assisted tools to summarize solicitations, identify requirements, analyze amendments and develop initial compliance and capture artifacts.
        • Apply AI to create or improve stakeholder maps, call plans, capture plans, competitive assessments, win themes and teaming analyses.

        • Understand the limitations and risks of generative AI, including hallucinations, data sensitivity, confidentiality, intellectual property and federal security requirements.
        • Ensure AI-generated research and content are validated through authoritative sources and professional judgment.
        • Help establish repeatable, responsible AI-enabled processes across TechSur’s growth organization.

        • Create clear accountability for capture actions while fostering an inclusive, high-energy and results-oriented team environment.
        • Support colleagues on strategic pursuits outside the individual’s immediate account responsibilities when organizational priorities require it.
        • Help develop junior business-development and capture personnel through coaching, knowledge sharing and active participation in reviews.
        • Place team and company success above individual ownership of relationships or opportunities.
        • Proposal Transition and Support: Transition mature pursuits to the proposal organization with documented customer intelligence, win themes, competitive analysis, solution direction and partner commitments.
        • Support proposal development through color-team reviews, solution refinement, executive summaries and oral-presentation preparation.
        • Ensure proposed approaches remain aligned with the customer’s mission objectives and evaluation priorities.
        • Use AI-assisted tools, where appropriate, to strengthen proposal compliance, consistency and responsiveness while ensuring human validation.
        • Assist with debrief analysis, lessons learned and follow-up actions after award decisions.
