We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Summary, then sections like Membership Revenue & Growth Strategy, Member Services, Visitor Services Oversight, Team Leadership & Management, Financial & Administrative Responsibilities, Qualifications, Compensation and Work Environment. We need to use

for section headings. Do not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide which headings to include. The posting has sections: Position Summary (maybe "About the role" or just "Position Summary"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can use other headings if they match content? It says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples, but we should use appropriate headings. Likely we should map content to these standard headings. However the posting has specific sections like Membership Revenue & Growth Strategy etc. We could treat those as sub-sections under Responsibilities. But we need to output only headings when there is real specific content. We could create sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (covering membership revenue, member services, visitor services oversight, team leadership, financial/admin), Qualifications, Benefits (compensation and work environment). Pay could be part of Benefits? But they said include Pay section only if posting actually states them. The posting includes salary and bonus etc. So we could have a Pay section. Benefits also present. Schedule maybe hybrid work model. Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. All have content. Now we need to extract content. Position Summary paragraph: "The Director of Membership & Visitor Services is a department leader responsible for driving Visit Alexandria’s private revenue generation, including our membership program and visitor experience operations.
