We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the 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 the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Starting Salary Range: $75,518 - $90,621 (Pay) - Location: San Francisco Office, also open to offices in San Mateo, and San Rafael, CA. Travel within counties SF, San Mateo, Marin. Periodic travel to Sacramento and throughout the state. Access to reliable transportation permitting travel to and between many different locations throughout the day. - Role description: Communications Specialist for GGRC serves as go-to resource for quality, accessibility, inclusive communications across all internal and external channels. Supports implementation of communications strategies, manages workflows, helps build/maintain internal systems and practices enabling effective communication across organization. Works with leadership and program teams focusing on project management, coordination, execution of communications across departments. Ensures communications clear, consistent, timely, aligned, while keeping complex multi-stakeholder projects on track. At center: commitment to accessible, inclusive, person-centered, disability-forward communication. Helps ensure all communications reflect dignity, clarity, respect, and accessibility embedded as standard across internal/external channels. - Responsibilities: listed under headings: Communications Coordination & Implementation, Channel Management & Quality, Communications Culture & Capacity Building, External Communications, Issues Response & Leadership Support. Each bullet list includes many items. - What Success Looks like: bullet list of outcomes. - Requirements: Education/Experience: Master’s degree preferred. Require BA (Communication, marketing, Business, literature, or related) 5–8+ years of experience in communications, public affairs, or a related field. Experience managing social media for similar organizations. Experience coordinating communications across teams or departments. Demonstrated experience supporting disability inclusion, accessibility, and respectful representation. - Preferred Experience: in disability services, healthcare, statewide government or regulatory agencies. Familiarity with legislative and public policy processes. Experience working in multi-stakeholder or highly regulated environments.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including Medical and Dental benefits with a generous employer contribution and additional employer paid Life, Disability and Vision coverage 10% employer contribution to a 403(b) retirement account to help you save for the future! GENEROUS TIME OFF BENEFITS!!! No Really, We Mean Generous 13 vacation days, 15 sick days, 11 paid holidays, 6 personal holidays, and up to 5 paid days for continuing education" - Additional culture description: "What makes GGRC so special? ..." This is more about values; could be included maybe as a paragraph under About the role or separate? The instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. This is substantive content about culture; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About GGRC" but we only have allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put culture description under About the role (since it's about the organization). Or maybe we could create a separate section like "About GGRC" but not in allowed list; better to stick to allowed headings. So we can incorporate that description into About the role paragraph. - Pay: Starting Salary Range given. So we need a Pay section with that info. - Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention of travel requirements but not schedule (full-time/part-time, hours). No schedule info. So we should NOT create a Schedule section. - Benefits: we have details; create Benefits section. - Qualifications vs Skills vs Requirements: The posting has Requirements (Education/Experience) and Preferred Experience. Could map Requirements to Education/Experience (required). Preferred Experience could go under Skills or Qualifications. The allowed headings: Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have both required and preferred. Could combine into Requirements section (including both required and preferred). Or separate: Requirements for required, Skills for preferred. Let's see typical usage: Requirements often include education/experience; Skills often include specific abilities. The posting includes "Experience managing social media", "Experience coordinating communications across teams", "Demonstrated experience supporting disability inclusion", etc. Those could be skills. Also "Preferred Experience in disability services..." etc. Could be skills. Thus we can have: - About the role: paragraph summarizing role description and location/travel. - Responsibilities: list of duties grouped maybe under subheadings? But we only allowed

    for section headings, not subheadings. We could just have a single Responsibilities section with a
    • list combining all responsibilities bullet points. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we can list each bullet as
    • . The original had headings within responsibilities (Communications Coordination & Implementation, etc.) but we cannot add extra headings beyond

      for sections. We could embed those headings as inside
    • or as part of the text. The instruction: Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings like

      but says use

      for section headings. It might be okay to use other headings but better to stick to

      for sections only. We can keep the responsibility headings as plain text or inside
    • . That preserves info. - Requirements: include required education/experience. - Skills: include preferred experience and specific skills (social media, coordinating, disability inclusion, CMS, video tools, multilingual, legislative familiarity, multi-stakeholder, etc.) - Benefits: list benefits. - Pay: salary range. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Ensure we don't include "How To Apply" or EEO statements. Now construct HTML. We'll start with maybe not needed; just output elements. We'll do:

      About the role

      ... paragraph ...

      Then

      Responsibilities

      • Communications Coordination & Implementation: Implement communications strategies and tactics aligned with GGRC’s mission and priorities; maintain communication planning tools, calendars, and coordination systems; coordinate editorial calendars, cross-team content workflows, and messaging across teams to ensure consistency and alignment; track deliverables, timelines, and dependencies across multiple projects; ensure that requests that come through the website contact and elsewhere are routed to the appropriate department.
      • ... etc for each heading. We need to ensure we capture all bullet points under each heading.

The instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content. Success looks like is a section but not in allowed headings. Could we incorporate into Responsibilities as a paragraph? Might be okay to add as a

        after responsibilities. But we must not create new headings not in list. So we can add a

        after responsibilities describing success metrics. That preserves info.
