We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also need to preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. First paragraph: "As relentless advocates for intelligent nutrition, NOVUS delivers advanced technology, rooted in scientific research designed to help animals reach their full potential. Driven by our passion for science and our intrinsic innovation, we work alongside animal producers and owners around the globe, to help create a world where we feed solutions instead of treating problems.Why choose NOVUS: Robust Benefits Package: Market-competitive compensation and locally selected benefits in every country where we operate. Hybrid Work Model: We are committed to your work-life balance. Our hybrid work model lets you thrive whether you're at the office or working remotely. Comprehensive Well-Being: Our employees’ well-being matters. We offer a variety of programs to support physical, mental, and emotional health. Expect to be inspired, to innovate, and to make a lasting impact in the world of animal nutrition globally by joining colleagues in over 80 countries, devoted to transforming the animal nutrition industry. NOVUS is Made of More™. More science. More insight. More inspiration. It’s called intelligent nutrition — and it’s how we show the world what we’re made of. Are you ready to show the world what you’re made of?" This is basically company description and benefits. So we can have an "About the role" maybe? Actually "About the role" is typical for description of role. But we have company description and benefits. Could put "About the role" with description of role? The posting includes responsibilities later. The first part is more about company and benefits. Could treat as "About the role" or maybe "Benefits". Since they explicitly mention benefits: Robust Benefits Package, Hybrid Work Model, Comprehensive Well-Being. So we can have a Benefits section with those bullet points. Then "General Responsibilities" list bullet points. So Responsibilities section. Then "General Guidance for Key Knowledge/Skills/ Experience" list bullet points. That could be Qualifications or Skills. We need to decide. The headings list includes Qualifications, Skills, Requirements. We can map: Knowledge/Skills/Experience could be Qualifications and Skills. Could split: Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (specific abilities). But we can also combine into one section "Qualifications" or "Skills". The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into "Qualifications and Skills". But we have headings list; we can choose to use "Qualifications" for education and experience, and "Skills" for abilities. However we risk thin sections. Let's see content: General Guidance for Key Knowledge/Skills/ Experience bullet points: - Masters of Science or equivalent in animal sciences, marketing, business or related area. - Knowledge and understanding of the US ruminant market. - Initiative to make sure Novus’ resources are properly used to achieve maximum potential. - Team player to work with sales managers, technical support resources, marketing, and other team members. - Analytical skills to quantify practical business strategies and solutions to customer needs. - Interpersonal skills to build relationships as part of a cross-functional team. - Ability to work independently and with others. - Ability to complete tasks in a timely manner. - Accuracy and attention to detail. - Ability to manage project database and paperwork. - Ability to interact with dairymen and nutritionists in a comfortable and professional way. - Good oral and written communication skills. - Computer skills (Microsoft Office, SAS). These are a mix of qualifications (education, experience) and skills. Could put under "Qualifications". Then "Other Essential Requirements" bullet points: - Fluent English. - Spanish is a Plus. - Must be licensed, insurable and able to drive a motor vehicle. - Must be able to travel 3-5 days per week, 3 out of 4 weeks per month. Most is by company car, with some by air. These are requirements (travel, language, driving). Could be "Requirements". Also note there is EEO boilerplate to remove. Pay and Schedule: Not explicitly stated. There's mention of travel schedule but not pay. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. It does not state pay. So omit Pay and Schedule. Benefits: we have robust benefits package, hybrid work model, comprehensive well-being. So we can create Benefits section. About the role: maybe we can include the initial company description as "About the role" or maybe "About NOVUS". But heading list includes "About the role". We can put the company description there. However the instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can use About the role for a brief description of the role and company. The initial paragraph is more about company mission and benefits. Could be considered "About the role". We'll include that. Thus sections:

About the role

As relentless advocates for intelligent nutrition, NOVUS delivers advanced technology, rooted in scientific research designed to help animals reach their full potential. Driven by our passion for science and our intrinsic innovation, we work alongside animal producers and owners around the globe, to help create a world where we feed solutions instead of treating problems. Expect to be inspired, to innovate, and to make a lasting impact in the world of animal nutrition globally by joining colleagues in over 80 countries, devoted to transforming the animal nutrition industry. NOVUS is Made of More™. More science. More insight. More inspiration. It’s called intelligent nutrition — and it’s how we show the world what we’re made of. Are you ready to show the world what you’re made of?

But we also need to include benefits? Actually we already used some of that text for About the role; we removed benefits details. Better to keep benefits in Benefits section. So we should split: About the role could be the mission description (first two sentences) maybe. Benefits separate. Let's extract: Mission: "As relentless advocates for intelligent nutrition, NOVUS delivers advanced technology, rooted in scientific research designed to help animals reach their full potential. Driven by our passion for science and our intrinsic innovation, we work alongside animal producers and owners around the globe, to help create a world where we feed solutions instead of treating problems." Then benefits: "Robust Benefits Package: Market-competitive compensation and locally selected benefits in every country where we operate. Hybrid Work Model: We are committed to your work-life balance. Our hybrid work model lets you thrive whether you're at the office or working remotely. Comprehensive Well-Being: Our employees’ well-being matters. We offer a variety of programs to support physical, mental, and emotional health." Then inspirational closing: "Expect to be inspired, to innovate, and to make a lasting impact in the world of animal nutrition globally by joining colleagues in over 80 countries, devoted to transforming the animal nutrition industry. NOVUS is Made of More™. More science. More insight. More inspiration. It’s called intelligent nutrition — and it’s how we show the world what we’re made of. Are you ready to show the world what you’re made of?" We could put that inspirational part in About the role as well. Simplify: About the role paragraph includes mission and inspirational closing. Benefits separate. Thus:
