We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: Current Employees line, How To Apply? Actually "How To Apply:" includes instructions; we must remove application instructions. Also remove contact info? It's not boilerplate but maybe considered contact info; but it's not listed as boilerplate to remove. However we might keep contact info? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Contact info is not explicitly listed; but it's not application instructions? It is contact for HR coordinator; might be considered part of application instructions? It says "Contact Information: Adam Garcia - HR Coordinator garci289@uwm.edu". That's contact for application; could be considered application instructions. Safer to remove it. Also "Reasonable Accommodations ..." is EEO/legal boilerplate; remove. "Confidentiality of Applicant Materials" legal; remove. "CBC and Reference Check Policy" legal; remove. "Annual Security and Fire Safety Report" legal; remove. "Employment Authorization" legal; remove. "UW is an Equal Opportunity Employer" EEO; remove. We need to keep substantive info: Unit Description, Job Duties, Key Job Responsibilities, Division, Compensation, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe unit description + overview), Responsibilities (job duties + key responsibilities), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications?), Skills (maybe communication skills etc), Benefits (none given), Pay (compensation), Schedule (none given). We should only include sections with real content. We have compensation: $74,000 - $83,000 Annual. So Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Benefits: not mentioned, omit. Skills: we could extract communication skills, interpersonal, strategic thinking, problem solving, database proficiency, etc. Could be a Skills section. Qualifications: maybe combine required and preferred? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (specific skills). Or we could treat Requirements as required qualifications, Qualifications as preferred qualifications, Skills as abilities. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like portfolio size 75-125, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

But we need to keep the list formatting? The unit description includes a colon and then bullet-like list separated by spaces. Could convert to
  • for each bullet. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The unit description includes a list after colon; we can treat as list. Better:

Job Duties paragraph: "The Gift Officer I – Director of Advancement – identifies and cultivates relationships with donor prospects at major, principal and/or estate giving levels, develops and implements fundraising plans, and works collaboratively with other Advancement staff to meet predefined gift contribution goals. This position is a member of the frontline development team whose primary responsibility is revenue generation through relationship-based fundraising activities.

        Responsibilities

        then a
          with each duty as
        • . Need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Could break long sentences into multiple li? Better to keep each bullet as a responsibility item; but we have many sentences.

            .
