We need to output HTML fragment with sections only where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must include Benefits section because they listed benefits. Must include maybe Responsibilities (the bullet list of duties). Must include Requirements/Qualifications (the bullet list of qualifications). Must include maybe Skills? The posting includes many responsibilities grouped under headings like Operational Leadership, Airborne Acquisition Operations, etc. Those are essentially responsibilities. We can group them under a

Responsibilities

with a
  • for each bullet. Must preserve all substantive info; we can list each bullet as separate
  • . Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We also have a Benefits list: Medical, Dental, Vision, LTD & STD, Life Insurance, 401k with match, PTO, Holidays, HSA with company contribution, Pet insurance, Employee Assistance Program. Also mention "competitive salary". That's pay info? They say "competitive salary". That's vague but it's a statement. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They state benefits, and they mention competitive salary (pay). So we can include Pay section with "competitive salary". However they said "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "competitive salary" is not filler; it's a statement. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: they mention "This is an in-office leadership position with travel required to support operations, projects, staff, clients, business development, and field activities." That's schedule info? It's about work location and travel. Could be considered Schedule? Might be better to include a Schedule section with that sentence. But they said only include if posting actually states them. It does state travel required. So we can include Schedule. But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Perhaps combine Pay and Schedule into one? But instructions: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have Benefits, Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications). Pay and Schedule could be omitted if considered thin. However they explicitly said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits and competitive salary and travel. So we could include them but maybe combine Pay and Schedule into a single "Compensation & Schedule" section? But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should follow those headings if we include them. Could include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's three sections plus Responsibilities and Requirements. That's okay. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

    Director, Remote Sensing

    . Use

    for section headings. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the paragraphs about WGI culture etc. That could go under About the role? But they said use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we could include an About the role section with the introductory paragraph(s) describing the role and company culture. That seems appropriate. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same info. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "WGI is seeking a Director, Remote Sensing to lead the operations and technical delivery of our Remote Sensing Department within the Geospatial Division.

Responsibilities: list all the bullet points under Operational Leadership etc. We'll need to capture each bullet as separate
  • . Let's extract them: From the text after "Operational Leadership Lead the operations..." Actually the text includes headings like "Operational Leadership", then sentences. We need to break into bullet points.
