We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting: It includes Education, Experience, Security Clearance, Job Duties (which includes many responsibilities), Knowledge, Skill And Abilities, Competencies, Supervisory Responsibility, Work Environment, Physical Demands, Salary.
We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education, experience, clearance), Qualifications (maybe similar), Skills (knowledge, skill and abilities), Benefits (none given), Pay (salary range), Schedule (none). We should only include sections with content.
We have salary: "The projected salary range for this position is $165,000-$250,000 and is based on experience and contractual requ" (cut off). We'll include that as Pay.
No benefits mentioned, so omit Benefits.
Schedule not mentioned, omit.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Salary is specific range.
We need to include sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary from first paragraphs? The posting starts with Education etc. Could treat "About the role" as a summary of role purpose: maybe combine the first paragraph about CFO role? The posting includes "Job Duties" which is essentially responsibilities. Could have About the role as a short paragraph summarizing role: "The CFO is a key member of the executive leadership team..." etc. That is present in Job Duties section. But we must not duplicate content. We could put About the role as a brief overview separate from responsibilities. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine About the role and Responsibilities? But they ask to use headings for those sections if content exists. We could have About the role with a summary derived from the first sentences of Job Duties (like "Key member of the executive leadership team...") and Responsibilities with the bullet list of duties. However that would duplicate some content. Better to have About the role as a short paragraph (maybe from the first sentence) and Responsibilities as the detailed list. Ensure we don't repeat same sentences verbatim? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep all info, but we can split it across sections as long as we don't lose any. Duplication is allowed? It didn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we could put all duties under Responsibilities and omit About the role if it's just a summary. But we need to decide if About the role has real specific content beyond what's in Responsibilities. The posting doesn't have a separate "About the role" section; it's integrated. So we might omit About the role heading because there is no distinct content. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we don't have a distinct About the role paragraph, we should not create that section.
Thus we will have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (education, experience, clearance), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? Could combine). But we need to decide: The posting has Education, Experience, Security Clearance under headings. Those are requirements. Could put them under Requirements. Qualifications could be same; but we might not need separate Qualifications if content overlaps. Better to have Requirements covering education, experience, clearance. Skills covering Knowledge, Skill And Abilities and Competencies. Pay covering salary.
We also have Supervisory Responsibility, Work Environment, Physical Demands. Those could be part of Responsibilities or separate sections like "Work Environment" and "Physical Demands". The instruction allows headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule only; but also says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It lists examples but not exhaustive; we could add other headings if needed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are the allowed headings; we should stick to those. So we must map all content into those sections only. So we cannot add Supervisory Responsibility etc as separate headings; we must fold them into existing sections like Responsibilities or Requirements or Skills.
Thus we need to fit all info into: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Benefits and Schedule omitted if no content.
We need to decide what goes where.
Responsibilities: job duties list.
Requirements: education, experience, security clearance.
Qualifications: maybe certifications (CPA preferred) and other qualifications like "Prior CFO, VP Finance, Controller..." but that's experience. Could treat qualifications as "Preferred qualifications" like MBA, CPA, etc. But we already have education and experience. Could combine.
Skills: knowledge, skill and abilities, competencies.
Pay: salary.
We must not repeat job title.
Let's extract content.
Education: "Education Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA), Accounting, or Finance preferred. Certified Public Accountant designation preferred."
Experience: "Experience Prior CFO, Vice President of Finance, Controller, or comparable senior leadership and FP&A experience with a mid-sized federal/DoD/W contractor. Minimum of 15 years of directly relevant experience, with an emphasis on demonstrated leadership and financial strategy implementation. Eight (8) years of government contracting experience preferred. Experience with mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, banking relationships, corporate valuation, EBITDA growth strategies, and strategic transactions. Experience managing or overseeing government-compliant accounting and ERP systems (Unanet experience desired)"
Security Clearance: "Security Clearance Public trust required. Eligible for Secret Clearance preferred."
Job Duties: big paragraph with many responsibilities.
Knowledge, Skill And Abilities: list.
Competencies: list of competencies with descriptions.
Supervisory Responsibility: "This position will manage employees."
Work Environment: "This job operates in a professional office environment. This role routinely uses standard office equipment and standard business software, including MS Office suite and associated tools."
Physical Demands: description.
We need to fold Supervisory Responsibility, Work Environment, Physical Demands into Responsibilities or Skills? Probably Responsibilities includes overseeing employees, so we can add supervisory responsibility there. Work environment and physical demands could be added to Responsibilities as well, maybe as a note.
But we must preserve all info; we can add them as bullet points under Responsibilities.
Now craft HTML.
We'll have:
Responsibilities
We need to break into list items for each duty. Could be many; we can group similar items but must preserve all info. We'll create bullet points for each distinct duty.
We'll need to be careful not to miss any.
