We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Salary: Depends on Qualifications (so Pay? It says Depends on Qualifications, which is vague; we should not include Pay unless actual numbers. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. "Depends on Qualifications" is not a specific amount; it's vague. Should we include? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "Depends on Qualifications" is similar to "commensurate with experience". So we should NOT include Pay section.
Job Type: Executives (maybe not needed). Location: Main Campus - Orem. Could be part of About the role? Could be a short paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate (EEO, application instructions, links, etc). We need to include sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing role), Responsibilities (list duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (maybe separate? The posting has "Qualifications / Licenses / Certifications" with REQUIRED and Preferred. Could map to Requirements and Qualifications sections. But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Possibly Skills if there are skill statements.
We need to decide what goes where.

Skills: Many of the above could be considered skills (communication, leadership, budgeting, etc). But we may not need separate Skills section if we already have Requirements/Qualifications covering them. However we could create Skills section for items like communication, budgeting, relationship building, etc. But risk duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are predefined; we can choose to include both if they have distinct content. Required vs Preferred could be split: Requirements = Required Qualifications; Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. That seems reasonable.
Thus we will have:

Also mention Job Type: Executives maybe not needed.
We must not include links, PDF, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include EEO statement.
We must not include copyright, etc.
Now produce HTML fragment.
