Project Management$167k–$301k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually the posting includes "The Role", "Here’s What You’ll Do", "Here’s What You’ll Bring To The Table", "Our Working Model", "Pay & Benefits", "About Moderna", "Equal Opportunities", "Accommodations", "Export Control Notice". However we must remove boilerplate: Equal Opportunities, Accommodations, Export Control Notice are boilerplate/legal, should be removed. Also "About Moderna" maybe considered boilerplate? It's company description; not required but could be kept? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Moderna" is not legal but it's generic company description; could be considered boilerplate but not explicitly prohibited. However they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might keep "About Moderna" as it's substantive? It's generic but still info about company. Might keep.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we will include sections: About the role? The heading "The Role" could be considered section heading. Use for section headings. So we can have
for section headings. So we can have The Role
with paragraph summarizing? But we must preserve all substantive information; we can't summarize away detail. We need to keep details. Could use
for prose and
- for lists.
We need to parse the content.

About Moderna

...
But the instruction: usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use appropriate headings. Use "About the role" maybe but we have "The Role". Could use "About the role". However they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings. Using "About the role" is fine. We need to decide headings: For responsibilities we can use "Responsibilities". For requirements we can use "Requirements". For working model maybe "Working Model". For pay and benefits maybe "Pay & Benefits". For about Moderna maybe "About Moderna". Ensure we only emit heading when there is real specific content. We'll produce:
