We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Company Description, Job Description, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Additional Information (benefits, pay range). We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Benefits (some description), Pay (compensation range). No explicit Schedule (though travel 25% domestic travel required; maybe schedule not given). We could include Schedule if we have info: "Domestic travel (25 percent) required." That's not schedule but travel requirement. Not schedule. So we may not include Schedule.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Benefits (some description), Pay (compensation range). No explicit Schedule (though travel 25% domestic travel required; maybe schedule not given). We could include Schedule if we have info: "Domestic travel (25 percent) required." That's not schedule but travel requirement. Not schedule. So we may not include Schedule.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use for each section.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out the Equal Opportunity Employer lines, the links, etc. Also remove "Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages..." maybe that's legal boilerplate; but it's about compensation. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a legal disclaimer about pay. Probably we should remove it as it's boilerplate. Also remove "AbbVie is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "US & Puerto Rico only - to learn more..." etc. Also remove "Follow @abbvie on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube." That's social media boilerplate; remove.
We need to keep Company Description? It's not a required heading but we could include as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be job description summary. The posting includes "Job Description" paragraph. We could put that under
About the role
as prose. Or we could treat "About AbbVie" as company description; but not required heading. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role (job description summary). We'll include that.
We need to include Responsibilities as list. The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We need to turn each duty into
- . The text includes many responsibilities separated by periods. We'll split into items.
Qualifications: list of qualifications. We'll turn each bullet into
- . The qualifications paragraph includes many sentences; we can split.
Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick), medical/dental/vision insurance and 401(k) to eligible employees. This job is eligible to participate in our long-term incentive programs." That's benefits. We'll put as list.
Pay: The compensation range described in Additional Information: "Applicable only to applicants applying to a position in any location with pay disclosure requirements under state or local law: The compensation range described below is the range of possible base pay compensation that the Company believes in good faith it will pay for this role at the time of this posting based on the job grade for this position. Individual compensation paid within this range will depend on many factors including geographic location, and we may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range. This range may be modified in the future." However no actual numbers given. The posting does not give a specific range; it's just a generic statement. Since we must not include Pay section unless posting actually states them (specific numbers). It does not state a range; it's just a disclaimer. So we should NOT include Pay section.
Schedule: Not present.
Skills: Not explicitly listed; qualifications include skills but we could treat as Qualifications. We'll not create Skills section unless we have explicit skills list. We'll skip.
Requirements: Could be same as Qualifications? The instruction includes Requirements as possible heading. We have Qualifications; we could treat Qualifications as Requirements. But we already have Qualifications heading. We'll include Qualifications.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Thus output:
About the role

...
Qualifications
- ...
...
Benefits
- Paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick)
- Medical/dental/vision insurance
- 401(k) for eligible employees
- Eligible to participate in long-term incentive programs
We need to preserve all substantive info: also mention "Domestic travel (25 percent) required." That's not a benefit, maybe under Qualifications or Responsibilities? It's a requirement. Could add as a qualification item: "Domestic travel (25 percent) required." We'll include under Qualifications.
Also "Key Stakeholders: Internally with U.S. brand teams, senior management and other functions. Externally with policy makers, patient and physician groups, and other third-party groups." That's substantive; we could include under Responsibilities or Qualifications? It's more about stakeholder engagement; could be a responsibility. We'll add as a responsibility item.
Also "Significant Work Activities: Continuous sitting for prolonged periods (more than 2 consecutive hours in an 8 hr day) is required" - that's a work activity; could be under Qualifications or Responsibilities? It's a requirement. We'll add as a qualification item.
Now we need to extract the responsibilities list from the paragraph.

Significant Work Activities: Continuous sitting for prolonged periods (more than 2 consecutive hours in an 8 hr day) is required"
We need to split into items. Some items are long sentences; we can keep as is.
We need to avoid duplication: Key Stakeholders appears also in Qualifications; we already have it as a responsibility? We didn't add it as responsibility yet. We could add as responsibility item. But it's also in Qualifications; we might include it only once. Since it's under Qualifications, we can keep it there and not duplicate. However the responsibilities list didn't include stakeholder mention; we could add it as responsibility but then duplicate. Better to keep it under Qualifications only.
Now Benefits: we have list.
Now About the role: we need to include the job description paragraph: "The Director of U.S. Therapeutic Area Strategies (TAS) is responsible for devising and implementing comprehensive government affairs strategies that drive therapeutic area specific policy initiatives to remove barriers to access and promote above brand policy solutions that support AbbVie’s business objectives. The position will serve as the liaison between the U.S. Government Affairs and the U.S. Oncology and Specialty Business Units sharing business developments, risks and opportunities with U.S. Government Affairs colleagues and providing legislative intelligence and insights to the brand teams.

We need to keep that as prose under About the role.
Now we need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We must not include or . Just the fragment.
Let's craft.
Check for any leftover boilerplate: The "Additional Information" includes the pay range description and benefits description. We used benefits. We omitted the pay range description because no actual numbers. Also we omitted the note about pay not being wages etc. That's boilerplate; we removed.
Also we removed the "Applicable only to applicants applying to a position in any location with pay disclosure requirements under state or local law:" etc. That's part of pay description; we removed.
Now ensure we kept all substantive info: Company description about AbbVie? We omitted that; it's not required but maybe we should include as "About the company"?
