We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
First, there is an introductory paragraph: "Join Amgen’s Mission of Serving Patients At Amgen, if you feel like you’re part of something bigger, it’s because you are..." This is about the role? Could be "About the role". We'll treat that as About the role.
Then "Director, Strategic Planning & Operations Live What You Will Do Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role, the Director, Strategic Planning & Operations (SPO) for Amgen’s Bone Health Business Unit (BHBU) will ensure the effective operation of the U.S. Bone Health business while leading strategic initiatives critical to its growth and evolution." This is more description; could be part of About the role.
Then responsibilities list under "Responsibilities Include:" with bullet points.
Then "Win What We Expect Of You" includes qualifications: Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. That's Requirements/Qualifications.
Then "Thrive What You Can Expect From Us" includes benefits and salary range mention. It says: "The expected annual salary range for this role in the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico) is posted. Actual salary will vary based on several factors..." So we have Pay info (salary range mentioned but not actual numbers). It says "is posted" but not given. We cannot invent. Since no actual numbers given, we should not create Pay section because it's not specific content. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention benefits: "In addition to the base salary, Amgen offers a Total Rewards Plan, based on eligibility, comprising of health and welfare plans for staff and eligible dependents, financial plans with opportunities to save towards retirement or other goals, work/life balance, and career development opportunities that may include: A comprehensive employee benefits package, including a Retirement and Savings Plan with generous company contributions, group medical, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts A discretionary annual bonus program, or for field sales representatives, a sales-based incentive plan Stock-based long-term incentives Award-winning time-off plans and bi-annual company-wide shutdowns Flexible work models, including remote and hybrid work arrangements, where possible". That's benefits content. So we can include Benefits section.
Schedule: not mentioned. So skip.
Pay: they mention salary range is posted but not actual numbers; we should not include Pay section because no specific numbers. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since they say "The expected annual salary range for this role in the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico) is posted. Actual salary will vary based on several factors..." That's vague; not a specific range. So we should not include Pay.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits. Possibly Skills? The qualifications include skills; but we can combine into Requirements/Qualifications. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both basic and preferred qualifications, we can put under Requirements. Or we could have Qualifications. Let's pick "Requirements". Or we could have both Requirements and Qualifications? Better to have one.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the bullet points exactly as given, but we can rephrase? Must preserve detail, not summarizing away. We can keep the same sentences.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At the end there is a lot of EEO statement, accommodation request, etc. Must remove those.
Also remove "Apply now for a career that defies imagination careers.amgen.com" and the redaction instruction about age-identifying info, sponsorship, etc. Also remove the repeated EEO lines.
Thus final HTML:

thenResponsibilities

Requirements
... maybe combine basic and preferred qualifications as paragraphs or list? Could use
- for each? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So qualifications are a list; we can make
- for each bullet point (basic and preferred). But we have two categories: Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could keep as separate headings? Not required. Could just list all qualifications as items. But we need to preserve the distinction? Might be okay to keep as separate paragraphs with headings inside? But we cannot add extra headings not in list unless they are from the allowed set. Could add Basic Qualifications: inside a
then list. But that adds extra markup not prohibited. Safer: treat qualifications as prose paragraphs: one paragraph for Basic Qualifications, another for Preferred Qualifications. That uses

Let's extract the exact text.
About the role: combine the first paragraphs up to "Director, Strategic Planning & Operations Live What You Will Do Let’s do this. Let’s change the world.
