We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Summary, Salary & Benefits, Primary Duties, Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Working Conditions. Also maybe "How To Apply" etc but we must remove application instructions. Also remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting has Salary & Benefits: "Minimum starting salary of $60,000, commensurate with experience. Limited benefits package including medical, life insurance, wellness resources and tuition waiver effective on date of hire." This includes "commensurate with experience" which is filler? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says we should not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state them: salary and benefits. However the phrase "commensurate with experience" is considered filler? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It seems they want us to avoid sections that only contain filler like "commensurate with experience". But we have actual salary figure and benefits list. So we can include a Benefits section? They said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine Salary & Benefits into one section maybe titled "Salary & Benefits". That's allowed because posting actually states them. The filler phrase "commensurate with experience" is part of the sentence but not the whole content. It's okay. We also have Working Conditions: "Normal office environment. Some travel and evening/weekend work may be required." That's substantive. We have Position Summary (prose). Primary Duties (list). Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (list). Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (list). Possibly also "How To Apply" but we must remove application instructions. So we omit that. We also need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate like EEO etc. At the end there is a lot of EEO statement, we must drop that. Thus final HTML: sections: Position Summary (maybe as

    ), Salary & Benefits (maybe as

    • ?), Primary Duties (
        ), Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (
          ), Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (
            ), Working Conditions (

            or

              ? It's prose). Use

              for each section heading. We need to decide heading names: Use exactly the headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can also use other headings? The instruction: "use

              for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not mandatory. We can use appropriate headings like "Position Summary", "Salary & Benefits", "Primary Duties", "Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities", "Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities", "Working Conditions". Those are not in the list but likely acceptable as they are descriptive. However they said use

              for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It might be expecting us to map content to those headings. But we can also use other headings as long as they are

              . Safer to use those example headings where appropriate: About the role (for Position Summary), Responsibilities (for Primary Duties), Requirements (for Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities), Skills (for Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities), Benefits (for Salary & Benefits), maybe Schedule? Not present. Pay? Not separate. Could combine Pay and Benefits? But we have salary and benefits. Could use "Benefits" heading for salary+benefits. Or we could have "Pay" heading for salary and "Benefits" heading for benefits. But they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state both salary and benefits, so we could have Pay and Benefits separate. However they also said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one Benefits section. Let's decide: Use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Working Conditions. That seems reasonable. Now content: About the role: Position Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: Primary Duties list items. Requirements: Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. Skills: Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. Benefits: Salary & Benefits: Minimum starting salary of $60,000, commensurate with experience. Limited benefits package including medical, life insurance, wellness resources and tuition waiver effective on date of hire. We need to use
              • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For Benefits, it's not a list but we could still make a
                  with two items: salary and benefits. Or we could keep as

                  . The instruction: Use

                  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

                    for prose. Benefits is not a list but could be considered a list? It says "any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So if we treat benefits as a list, we should use

                    • . But we have also salary. Could make two
                    • items: one for salary, one for benefits. Working Conditions: prose, use

                      . Now ensure we remove boilerplate: The EEO statement at end, also "How To Apply", "Application Deadline", etc. Also remove lines like "Must have the physical stamina to work long hours and/or more than 5 days per week." That is part of Working Conditions? Actually that appears after EEO. It's a requirement about physical stamina. Might be considered part of Working Conditions or Requirements. It's substantive: "Must have the physical stamina to work long hours and/or more than 5 days per week." Should we keep? It's not boilerplate; it's a job requirement. It appears after the EEO statement but before the accommodation statement. It's a requirement. We should keep it. Where to place? Could be under Requirements or Working Conditions. Since it's about physical stamina, maybe under Working Conditions. We'll add as a sentence in Working Conditions

                      . Also "To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily." That's generic boilerplate; maybe remove as it's filler. Also "The requirements listed are representative of the knowledge, skill and/or ability required." That's also boilerplate. Also "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "The information contained in this job description is for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act..." remove. Also "GVSU will provide reasonable accommodations..." remove. Also "See www.gvsu.edu/equalopportunity." remove. Also "TDD Callers..." remove. Also "Grand Valley State University is an Antidiscrimination/Equal Opportunity Employer..." remove. Also "University policy extends protections to additional identities." remove. Also "Application review begins October 1, 2026. This posting may be closed at any time at the discretion of the University." That's application instruction/boilerplate; remove. Also "If you have questions about the position or the posting, please contact Institutional Advancement at advancement@gvsu.edu." remove. Also "If you need technical assistance, please contact Human Resources at hro@gvsu.edu." remove. Also "Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States and must not require sponsorship now or in the future." That's a requirement; maybe keep under Requirements? It's a legal requirement. Could be considered a requirement. We'll keep as a requirement item. Also "Attach your cover letter and resume. The system will allow you to attach these documents electronically." remove. Now compile content. Position Summary paragraph: "This position leads the day-to-day coordination of campaign related activities and campaign volunteer engagement, serving as a key partner to campaign leadership, volunteers, fundraisers, and University partners. This role advances campaign fundraising efforts by coordinating and tracking activity, progress, and follow-through toward campaign goals.
