We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have content: Primary Responsibilities list, Secondary Responsibilities list, Success Factors, Essential Job Skills Necessary for Success, Prior Experience that Sets a Commercial Specialist up for Success, Education, Certificates, Licenses, Registrations, Physical Demands, Work Environment, Compensation Range, Benefits.
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities (primary+secondary), Requirements (maybe essential job skills?), Qualifications (education, experience, certifications), Skills (maybe success factors?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have no explicit schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states it. It does not mention schedule specifics, only "Ability to work an assortment of days, evenings, and weekends as needed." That's about schedule flexibility but not explicit schedule. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated (they mention comprehensive health and wellness benefits program). So we can include Benefits section. Pay is stated (Compensation Range). So include Pay section. Schedule: not explicitly stated; we have ability to work assortment of days etc. That's maybe schedule info but not explicit schedule like "Full-time, Monday-Friday". The instruction says never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state a schedule, just flexibility. So we should omit Schedule section.
Now we need to decide what goes under each heading.
About the role: maybe a brief paragraph summarizing role. The posting starts with "Job Description Primary Responsibilities ..." There's no explicit "About the role" paragraph. Could we create one from the first sentence? The instruction: do not invent or summarize away detail. We must preserve ALL substantive information; we can rephrase but must keep info. Could we put a short paragraph under About the role that captures the essence: "Support CPP-led commercial sales, assist with dispatching and coordination of commercial deliveries, manage store vehicle fleet maintenance, conduct account stocking visits, perform outbound calls, lead parts department organization, maintain product knowledge, assist in upselling, lead commercial program when CPP not present." That's basically the primary responsibilities. But we already have Responsibilities section. Perhaps About the role could be a short summary: "The Commercial Specialist supports commercial sales, coordinates deliveries, manages fleet, stocks accounts, and assists with sales and customer service." That's derived from responsibilities; but is that summarizing away detail? Might be okay if we keep all details elsewhere. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine About the role with Responsibilities? But we need to use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. Does the posting have an "About the role" section? Not explicitly. It starts with "Job Description Primary Responsibilities". There's no separate "About the role". So we should not create About the role heading if there's no explicit content. However the instruction says: "Use

Not explicitly. It starts with "Job Description Primary Responsibilities". There's no separate "About the role". So we should not create About the role heading if there's no explicit content. However the instruction says: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not mandatory to include all. It says: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should only include headings where the posting has content matching that heading. The posting does not have an explicit "About the role" paragraph, but we could treat the initial description as about the role. However it's labeled "Job Description Primary Responsibilities". That's more responsibilities. So maybe we skip About the role.
Responsibilities: we have Primary Responsibilities and Secondary Responsibilities. Combine into a - list.
Requirements: Could be "Essential Job Skills Necessary for Success as a Commercial Specialist" plus maybe "Physical Demands" and "Work Environment"? Those are more about requirements. But we have separate headings for Skills, Qualifications. Let's map:
- Qualifications: Education, Certificates, Licenses, Registrations, Prior Experience that Sets a Commercial Specialist up for Success (maybe also Prior Automotive Parts Experience Preferred etc). Also "Must have a valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record as this role is required to have an MVR certification."

Also maybe "Essential Job Skills Necessary for Success" includes many skills like ability to work assortment of days, speak/write English, understand instructions, read/interpret documents, willingness to learn, Microsoft software, basic math, strong organizational skills, basic inventory management, basic dispatching knowledge, basic understanding of vehicle maintenance schedules, working knowledge of automotive systems, diagnostic ability, complete Parts Knowledge Assessment. Those are skills/requirements. Could be placed under Skills.
- Requirements: Could be physical demands and work environment? But those are more about working conditions. Might be better as Requirements? However the instruction says we can use Requirements heading for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can put physical demands and work environment under Requirements as a list.
- Benefits: we have benefits description.
- Pay: compensation range.
We must not repeat job title. No markdown.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
