We need to output HTML fragment with 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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold minor metadata into short p or drop. We need to parse the posting.

Also there is an "About Health Department" paragraph. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could be the introductory paragraph describing role purpose. Could combine description. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicit; could combine with qualifications. - Benefits: definitely present. - Pay: Salary Range present. - Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours and Days of Work present; also telework eligibility maybe part of schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So include only those with content. We need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

Schedule

Day shift, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday – Friday. Telework eligible for up to 50% for applicants living in Minnesota or a bordering state within 50 miles of the work location; candidates residing outside Minnesota more than 50 miles away must be able to relocate within 30 days of start date.

We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Also we should not include Job ID etc as headings; we can include minor metadata in a short p maybe under About the role? But we can drop them. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could include a short p with location, telework, etc. But we already have schedule section covering telework. Could also include location in About the role p. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can combine some. We must not omit substantive info like "Full-Time", "Temporary - Anticipated to end 06/30/2027", "Who May Apply: Open to all qualified job seekers", "Date Posted", "Closing Date", "Hiring Agency", "Division/Unit", "Classified Status", "Bargaining Unit/Union", "End Date", "FLSA Status", "Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: No". Some of these may be considered minor metadata; we could fold them into a short p under About the role or maybe a separate "Details" section but we don't have a heading for that; we could include them in a paragraph after About the role. But we must not create sections with filler. We could add a

after About the role that includes: "Full‑time, temporary position (anticipated end June 30, 2027) with the Health Department, Office of American Indian Health / Operations Unit, located in St. Paul. Open to all qualified job seekers. Posted September 23, 2026; closes October 6, 2026. Unclassified, MAPE bargaining unit 214, FLSA nonexempt." That preserves info. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those. We must not include application instructions, contact info? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove "How To Apply", "Contact", "About Health Department" maybe? Actually "About Health Department" is substantive about agency; we could keep that as part of About the role or separate section? It's not a standard heading but we could incorporate into About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information; the "About Health Department" paragraph is substantive about agency mission. We could include that in About the role p. We must not include "Equal Opportunity Employers" etc. Now, we need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". We have none. Now, produce HTML. Let's craft:

About the role

The Communications Planner serves the communications needs of the Office of American Indian Health and Tribal Relations and its Tribal and urban American Indian partners by coordinating and implementing communications activities, providing expert technical advice on internal and external communications and messaging strategies, practices, and laws, and developing training materials. The position integrates health equity, plain language, cross‑cultural communication, and digital accessibility into planning and implementation, uses best practices and innovative methods to communicate with, persuade, engage, and inspire target audiences, and supports staff, leadership, and partners in strengthening their communication skills. It also develops templates and training materials to support the office’s strategic plan, provides web updates, and drafts stories for distribution via web, GovDelivery, SharePoint, Smartsheet, social media, Microsoft Teams, and other tools. The role is full‑time, temporary (anticipated to end June 30, 2027) with the Health Department, Office of American Indian Health / Operations Unit, located in St. Paul. Open to all qualified job seekers. Posted September 23, 2026; closes October 6, 2026. Unclassified, MAPE bargaining unit 214, FLSA nonexempt.

But we need to avoid repeating content that will appear in Responsibilities. The above includes many responsibilities; maybe better to keep About the role short, and Responsibilities detailed. Let's split: About the role: brief purpose. Responsibilities: bullet list. We must preserve all substantive info; we can include details in Responsibilities and elsewhere. Let's draft:

About the role

Then Responsibilities: list all duties from description. Let's extract duties: - coordinating and implementing communications activities in the Office of American Indian Health and Tribal Relations - providing expert technical advice to staff and partners regarding internal and external communications and messaging strategies, practices, and laws
