We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We must include only sections with real content. We must remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. We must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about inclusive culture, growth, etc. That's about the role? Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But we have to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- Role Summary: description of role, responsibilities. That's responsibilities.
- Key Accountabilities: list of duties. That's responsibilities.
- Required Education & Experience: list of qualifications/experience.
- Why You’ll Love Working Here: benefits, culture, etc. Could be Benefits section.
- Pay: salary range given.
- Schedule: not mentioned.
- Skills: maybe we can extract from required experience: writing skills, business acumen, etc. Could be Skills.
- Qualifications: maybe education and experience.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to include sections only if we have substantive content.
Let's extract:
About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about culture and growth could be considered "About the role". But we also have Role Summary. Could combine.
Better: Use "About the role" for the introductory paragraph describing the role and culture. Then "Responsibilities" for Role Summary + Key Accountabilities. Then "Qualifications" for Required Education & Experience. Then "Skills" maybe for writing skills, business acumen, etc. But we already have qualifications covering experience; skills could be separate.
But we must not duplicate content. We can split.
Let's list substantive content:
Intro paragraph: "At Associated Bank we strive to create an inclusive culture where different perspectives are valued and recognized as strengths critical to our success. If you thrive in an environment where your growth and development are encouraged and supported, then Associated Bank may be the right place for you. Associated Bank requires you to directly represent yourself and your own experiences during the recruiting and hiring process. Associated Bank conducts a thorough background check on all new hires."
That's about company culture and hiring process. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". We'll use "About the role".
Role Summary paragraph: "The Corporate Communications Business Partner Principal serves as the primary communications consultant to senior leaders, business line leaders, support units, and project teams, helping to identify, prioritize, develop, and execute comprehensive communication strategies that support organizational change and business initiatives. This highly visible role combines strategic consulting with hands-on execution to drive colleague engagement, support business transformation, and enhance the employee experience through clear, effective communication."

Pay: "$92,470.00 - $158,520.00 per year"
Schedule: none.
We must not include EEO/compliance etc. So we strip those paragraphs.
Now decide sections:
- About the role: intro paragraph (maybe also include role summary? but role summary is more about responsibilities). We'll keep intro as About the role.
- Responsibilities: Role Summary paragraph + Key Accountabilities list.
- Qualifications: Required Education & Experience list.
- Skills: maybe we can extract writing skills, business acumen, etc. But those are already in qualifications. Could combine qualifications and skills? But we need to follow headings list; we can have Qualifications and Skills separate if we have content.
We could put under Qualifications the education and experience, and under Skills the specific skills: exceptional writing skills, business acumen, managing cross-functional projects, leading large-scale campaigns, etc. However the qualifications list already includes those as experience. To avoid duplication, we could treat Qualifications as education + years experience, and Skills as the specific skill areas: writing, business acumen, project management, campaign leadership, stakeholder alignment. But that repeats the same bullet points. Might be considered duplication but still substantive. However instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is okay as long as we preserve info. But we should avoid unnecessary repetition? Not explicitly forbidden. However better to avoid duplicate content; we can combine education+experience under Qualifications and maybe not have Skills separate if it's redundant. But we need to decide.
We have also Benefits section: from Why You’ll Love Working Here we have benefits: retirement savings, PTO to volunteer, colleague resource groups, competitive salaries, professional development, bonus benefits (well-being programs, incentives, parental leave, employee stock purchase plan, military benefits), personal banking/loan/investment/insurance benefits, etc. Also mention "competitive salaries" but we have Pay separate.
Thus Benefits section can list those.
Pay section: salary range.
Schedule: none, omit.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with h3 headings and appropriate

We must not include any markdown fences.

We should not include Schedule. Check for any boilerplate leftover: we removed EEO, compliance, etc. Good. Check that we didn't repeat job title. Good. Check that we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Check that we preserved all substantive info: we kept intro, role summary, accountabilities, qualifications, benefits, pay. We omitted the "Why You’ll Love Working Here" promotional text that also included some benefits; we captured benefits from that paragraph. We omitted the encouragement to apply and the EEO statement about welcoming all qualified parties; that's not substantive? It's about encouraging applications; could be considered part of benefits? But it's more about equal opportunity; we removed as per instruction to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The line "We welcome and encourage applications from all qualified parties, including but not limited to people returning to the workforce, people with disabilities, those without a college degree, and veterans or those with military experience." is EEO-ish; we removed. We also removed "Apply today to make an impact." (application instruction) - remove
