We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Position Summary, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? The posting includes salary range, benefits, schedule (variable event-driven schedule, evenings and weekends). Also "About The Venue" maybe could be considered "About the role"? But we should not repeat job title. Use headings for sections that have real content. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have: -

Position Summary

(or maybe "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can also use other headings if they match content? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests those are examples; we can use those headings if appropriate. The posting has "Position Summary", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Benefits", also mentions Pay (salary range) and Schedule (variable event-driven schedule). Also there is "About The Venue" which could be considered "About the role"? Might be better to use "About the role" heading and put the venue description there? But the instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." It doesn't forbid using other headings like "Position Summary". However they gave examples; we could still use "Position Summary". Probably acceptable. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At the end there is EEO statement and "Strengthened by our Differences..." etc. That's EEO boilerplate; should be removed. Also "Equal Opportunity Employer" paragraph should be removed. Also "This position will remain open until November 27, 2026." That's maybe metadata but could be kept? It's not boilerplate; it's a date. Might be considered minor metadata; but we could keep as a short p. However instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could include that date in a p maybe under a generic "Details" but better to drop? It's not essential but we could keep as a p after the sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown. Let's extract content: Position Summary paragraph(s): multiple sentences. We'll combine into

        . Also there is "About The Venue" description. Could be considered "About the role" or maybe we could add a section "About the Venue". But the instruction examples didn't list "About the Venue". However we could treat it as "About the role" (since it's about the venue). Might be better to add a section

        About the Venue

        but not in examples. Safer to follow examples: use "About the role". We'll put the venue description under

        About the role

        . We must not repeat job title. Good. We need to remove duplicated lines: there may be repeated sentences; we need to ensure we don't duplicate. We'll just write each unique piece. Let's craft. Position Summary: combine sentences: "The Executive Chef has the primary duty of managing the culinary team, a recognized department of the venue's F&B operation. The Executive Chef will actively supervise, coach, counsel, direct, train, and mentor employees in meeting company quality standards and will independently initiate and authorize all employment actions such as hiring, termination, suspension, discipline, promotion, and transfer.

        Schedule:

        About the role (venue description): combine: "The University of Kansas Athletics Social Club offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic, high-volume hospitality operation serving some of the most iconic and innovative venues in collegiate athletics. Our culinary team delivers exceptional food and hospitality experiences across David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, historic Allen Fieldhouse, the Naismith Club, and the newly renovated Conference Center, supporting everything from major athletic events and premium hospitality to private events, catering, and social club dining. Team members have the opportunity to work alongside experienced culinary and hospitality professionals in a fast-paced environment focused on creativity, quality, teamwork, and operational excellence while representing the tradition and spirit of Kansas Athletics." We could also include the line "This position will remain open until November 27, 2026." as a short p maybe under a generic "Details" but we can drop as minor metadata. I'd include it as a p after sections maybe under a heading "Details"? But instruction says fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. Could just add a p without heading: "

        This position will remain open until November 27, 2026.

        " after the sections. That seems okay. Now ensure we don't include EEO boilerplate. Remove "Strengthened by our Differences..." and "Equal Opportunity Employer" paragraph. Now produce HTML fragment:
