We need to output HTML fragment with sections.
We must not include Pay or Schedule sections because no explicit pay or schedule details (though benefits mention competitive pay but not specific numbers). The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Benefits section is stated, so we include Benefits. Pay section not stated explicitly (no salary range), so we omit Pay. Schedule not stated explicitly (no specific schedule), omit Schedule.
Now we need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.

But we have many overlapping categories. We need to preserve all info; we can duplicate across sections? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we must ensure we don't lose any info.
