We need to output HTML fragment with sections only where there is real content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. The posting includes: description about role (first paragraph). That could be "About the role". Then duties and responsibilities (Primary and Secondary). Then Minimum Qualification (Education, Experience, Special Knowledge, Technical Skills, Attributes). Also Working Conditions maybe could be part of Requirements? But we have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to map content appropriately. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: "For the full job description, please click on the More Info icon." Also "The above statements are intended..." etc. Also "Serves as a resource..." etc is part of duties. Also "SecondaryPerforms other duties as assigned." That's boilerplate but it's a duty; we can keep as part of responsibilities. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all duties, qualifications, etc. We need to decide sections: - About the role: first paragraph(s) describing role: "The Creative Specialist develops and executes innovative visual communications...". Also maybe the sentence "This role reports to the Creative Director." That's part of about. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Primary and Secondary). Could be bullet list. - Requirements: maybe education and experience? But we also have Qualifications and Skills sections. The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have Minimum Qualification (Education, Experience, Special Knowledge, Technical Skills, Attributes). Could split into Qualifications (education+experience) and Skills (technical skills+attributes). Or we could put all under Requirements. But better to follow typical: Qualifications (education, experience), Skills (technical skills, attributes). Requirements maybe not needed if we split. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule content. So we should NOT include those sections. Thus output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also Working Conditions? Not a standard heading; we could put under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role? But we have no heading for Working Conditions. Could include as a paragraph under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role? The instruction: Use headings only from list. So we cannot add custom heading. So we need to embed Working Conditions info somewhere else, maybe as a paragraph under Responsibilities or under About the role. Since it's about work environment, could be part of About the role. But better to add a paragraph under Responsibilities? Might be odd. Could add a separate section "Working Conditions" but not allowed. So we need to incorporate it into existing sections. Perhaps we can add a

under About the role after describing role, mentioning hybrid work environment, extended hours, travel. Thus About the role will include: role description, reports to Creative Director, working conditions (hybrid, extended hours, travel). That seems okay. Now Responsibilities: list of duties (Primary and Secondary). We'll create

  • for each duty. Need to capture all duties listed. Let's extract duties: Primary: - Conceptualize, design, and deliver high-impact visual communications and creative campaigns that support the firm’s marketing, communications, business development, recruiting, thought leadership, and internal initiatives. - Develop creative concepts and translate business objectives, messaging, and stakeholder needs into compelling visual solutions across a variety of platforms and formats. - Create and produce a broad range of creative assets, including advertising campaigns, presentations, publications, infographics, digital content, videos, motion graphics, web graphics, social media assets, event branding, and other communications materials. - Collaborate with Communications, Marketing, Business Development, Recruiting, and firm leadership to develop creative approaches that effectively communicate key messages and engage target audiences. - Recommend and implement innovative design approaches, templates, and creative best practices that enhance visual storytelling and strengthen the firm’s brand identity. - Assist in the development, implementation, and evolution of the firm’s visual standards while ensuring all creative deliverables align with established brand guidelines. - Leverage emerging technologies, design platforms, and AI-enabled creative tools to improve efficiency, expand capabilities, and elevate the quality of creative output. - Support the adoption, governance, and optimization of enterprise creative technologies, including Canva Enterprise and Brandfolder, helping to scale creative operations, strengthen brand consistency, and improve access to firm-wide creative resources. - Serves as a resource on evolving design technologies, presentation platforms, and creative best practices. - Provide creative consultation and design expertise to colleagues across the firm, advising on visual communications, presentation design, and effective brand application. - Ensure all creative deliverables maintain a high standard of quality, consistency, accessibility, and professionalism. - Monitor and assess the effectiveness of creative work against business and audience engagement goals, applying insights to inform future creative direction. - Manage relationships with photographers, videographers, printers, freelance creatives, and external vendors — overseeing quality, cost-effectiveness, and production timelines to ensure creative solutions align with brand standards and deliver strong value to the firm. - Support the organization and management of creative assets and digital content resources to facilitate collaboration and efficient access to firm materials. - Manage multiple projects simultaneously while balancing competing priorities and meeting deadlines within a fast-paced environment. Secondary: - Performs other duties as assigned. We'll include that as a bullet. Now Qualifications: Education and Experience maybe. Minimum Qualification: Education: Associate degree, design/trade school certification, bachelor’s degree, or equivalent combination of education and professional experience in graphic design, visual communications, marketing, or related field. Experience: Five years of professional design experience with a portfolio demonstrating creative excellence across multiple media channels. We could also include Special Knowledge? That might be more like Skills. But we have Skills section for technical skills and attributes. Special Knowledge includes: Strong visual communication and storytelling skills..., Demonstrated ability to develop creative concepts..., Strong understanding of branding..., Experience creating effective communications..., Knowledge of current design trends..., etc. Those are more like skills/knowledge. Could go under Skills. Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud..., Proficiency in Canva, Microsoft Office..., Familiarity with Brandfolder..., Experience utilizing emerging creative technologies and AI-enabled design tools. Attributes: Highly creative and strategic thinker..., Ability to balance creative excellence..., Excellent communication..., Strong organizational..., Collaborative, adaptable, proactive... Thus we can split: Qualifications: Education + Experience. Skills: Technical Skills + Attributes + Special Knowledge (maybe combine). But we need to avoid duplication. We'll put Special Knowledge under Skills as bullet points. Thus Skills section will include bullet list of: Strong visual communication and storytelling skills..., Demonstrated ability to develop creative concepts..., Strong understanding of branding..., Experience creating effective communications..., Knowledge of current design trends..., Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud..., Proficiency in Canva, Microsoft Office..., Familiarity with Brandfolder..., Experience utilizing emerging creative technologies and AI-enabled design tools., Attributes: Highly creative..., Ability to balance..., Excellent communication..., Strong organizational..., Collaborative, adaptable... We could separate into two sublists but just one list is fine. Now About the role: include description and working conditions. Let's craft HTML. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

    for each section heading, then content. We'll do:
