We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "The Role" description, "What You’ll Be Doing (Essential Duties)", "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Additional Qualifications", "Compensation", "About Us". Also there is intro about Save the Children (mission). We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. There is Compensation section with salary range, so we can make a Pay section (

Pay

) with that content. Benefits: there is "About Us" includes benefits list. So we can make Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Skills: maybe not explicit; we have qualifications etc. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is disability assistance line; that's application instruction? It's about assistance with application; likely should be removed as application instructions. Also "Click here to learn more..." is application instruction? It's a link to learn more about benefits; maybe considered application instruction? It's not directly applying but still maybe considered. Safer to remove that line and the disability assistance line. Also remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicate sentences? Not obvious. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Structure: maybe:

About the role

... description of role ...

Responsibilities

  • ... list of duties ...

Requirements

  • ... required qualifications ...

Qualifications

... preferred qualifications ...

maybe also Additional Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Required and Preferred into Requirements and Qualifications. Better: Use Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred and additional. Skills: maybe not needed. Benefits: list from About Us. Pay: salary range. Let's extract content. Intro about Save the Children: "Save the Children For over 100 years, Save the Children has been fighting for the rights of children. The right to a healthy start in life. To have access to education. To be in a safe environment, protected from harm. We work in some of the world’s hardest-to-reach places – over 100 countries, including the U.S. No matter what your role is, when you join Save the Children, you’re creating positive, irreversible change for children, and the future we all share." That's substantive; could be placed under About the role? Actually About the role heading is for role description. But we could put that under About the role? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So About the role likely includes role overview. We'll put the mission description there? Might be better to put under About the role a brief overview of the role: The Early Childhood and Development Coach works... That's the role description. The Save the Children intro is more about organization; maybe we could include it under About the role as context, but it's not strictly role. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we could include it as a paragraph before the role heading? But we cannot add extra headings not listed. We could include it under About the role as a preamble. Thus:

About the role
