We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have job title: Contract Compliance Specialist. Not to repeat as heading. We have posting start date: 9/25/6? Actually 9/25/26. That's metadata; we can fold into short

or drop. Probably include a short

with posting date. We have Salary Range: $70,000 - $80,000. Also mention eligible for annual incentive pay, continued salary growth, etc. So we can create a Pay section with that content. Benefits: comprehensive benefits package listed. So Benefits section. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; only Travel Requirements up to 10% as required, Work Environment primarily indoor office with occasional field. No explicit schedule (full-time, part-time). So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not, so omit. About the role: Could be derived from Primary Role paragraph. So we can have About the role section with that paragraph. Responsibilities: Key Accountabilities list many bullet points. So Responsibilities section with

  • . Requirements: Knowledge/Skills and Experience/Education etc. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We have Knowledge/Skills (skills) and Experience/Education (qualifications). We could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections. But we need to decide. We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (Primary Role). Responsibilities (Key Accountabilities). Requirements maybe Experience/Education? Qualifications maybe Knowledge/Skills? Skills maybe also Knowledge/Skills? There's overlap. Better to follow typical: Requirements (experience/education), Qualifications (knowledge/skills), Skills maybe separate but we can combine. However we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. We could make: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (covering knowledge/skills and experience/education), Benefits, Pay. But the instruction says use those headings if content exists. It doesn't forbid using only some of them. So we can omit Requirements, Skills, Schedule if not substantive. Check if we have content for Skills: Knowledge/Skills section includes many skill items. That could be Skills section. Qualifications could be Experience/Education. So we could have both. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (Experience/Education), Skills (Knowledge/Skills), Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have concrete content. Now we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must include all details from posting. Let's extract details: - Job Title: Contract Compliance Specialist (not heading) - Posting Start Date: 9/25/26 (maybe include in a
