We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. The posting includes description (responsibilities), requirements, qualifications (maybe education, experience, certifications), skills (maybe listed under Requirements), benefits (not mentioned), pay (salary range), schedule (maybe flexible schedule, weekends). Also "About the role" could be the description paragraph before responsibilities? The description includes a paragraph: "Maximize the sales and distribution...". That could be About the role. Then responsibilities list bullet points. Then requirements list bullet points. Then qualifications (education, experience, age, travel, driving, tools). Then skills maybe part of requirements but we can separate. However we must not repeat job title. Also we must not include boilerplate like EEO, diversity statement, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also we must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section: we have salary range $55K-$70K. Also Pay Type: Salary, Exempt. So we can include Pay section with that info. Schedule: mention flexible work schedule, weekends and extended workdays often necessary, up to 30% travel. So schedule section can include that. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are not boilerplate. Let's extract substantive content: - Description paragraph: "Maximize the sales and distribution of all company products in the assigned territory through the establishment and appropriate execution of local and national sales programs and initiatives.Apply a sales strategy to target key markets and establish a dominant presence in the Territory; execute promotional programs and activities with key partners.Aggressively identify, target, and market to existing and potential accounts, both individually and in partnership with distributors, in order to maximize distribution, shelf space and “3P” merchandising efforts within an assigned territory.Build share of mind with distributors by:Regularly attending and leading distributor meetings,Keeping distributor management well-informed of company initiativesTracking and measuring performance against key priorities.Promote the “Multiplier Effect” by training and motivating distributor sales reps on product knowledge, company sales techniques, brand pitches & promotions, that encourage reps to act as our employees would act in the trade.Develop and maintain strong relationships with key retailers in the assigned territory.Coordinate marketing crew drives in various locations in and outside of an assigned territory.Create and execute marketing promotions with customers, festivals, and events.Use distributor data and reporting tools to identify opportunities for new or expanded distribution, lost sales, incremental volume increases, and other business insights.Record daily sales activity and weekly results as required by the company and providing necessary back-up to support sales and bonus objectives.Meet and maintain sales goals that are set regularly with the Regional Sales DirectorCommunicates to and collaborates with the Market Manager, Regional Sales Director, Marketing Manager, Key Account Team, Sales Management Team and whoever is necessary to win at retail." That's a long paragraph; we can treat as About the role (prose). Could split into

    . - Additional Responsibilities list: "Ensure the company’s quality standards are understood and enforced by distributors and retailers.Maintain an understanding of all legal restrictions regarding company products in each market and ensure all initiatives are executed within those limitations.Maintain a flexible work schedule as weekends and extended workdays are often necessary.Uphold a professional appearance, keeps a well-maintained and organized vehicle, and represents the company in a positive and reputable manner.Perform other related duties as required or assigned." These could be part of Responsibilities as well. We'll combine all duties into a Responsibilities

      . - Requirements list: "Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities High Energy - Be a self-starter with a strong desire and ability to execute and win at retail.Work Ethic - Have attention to detail and ability to complete tasks on time and independently and consistent, strong work ethic.Time Management - Ability to multi-task efficiently, prioritize work around key business drivers.Communication - Skill in verbal and written communication and presentation.Relationship Builder – Ability to develop lasting and value-added relationships with stakeholders.Organization - Ability to pre-plan on weekly and monthly basis; consistently execute timely plans.Growth Mindset - Ability to demonstrate a strong desire to grow professionally with the company and willingness to learn new skills and experiences.Business Planning – Ability to effectively manage and execute wholesaler objectives and initiatives.Bev Alc Experience - Minimum of 1 year of experience in the Beverage Alcohol Industry, preferably within the Beer CategoryRetail Account Knowledge – Experience in the selling and merchandising in the off and on premise retail account environmentWholesaler Knowledge - Knowledge and experience within the 3-tier system with the ability to balance between the demands of wholesaler management and retail execution.Data Analysis - Knowledge of VIP iDig, Karma, and Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive).Trade Math - Knowledge of common business/beer math to the industry." These are requirements/skills. We'll put them under Requirements
        . Could also separate Skills but we can keep as Requirements. - Physical & Mental Requirements: "Must have the physical and mental strength and endurance to be able to perform duties, in at times extreme environments, as well as the ability to handle stressors of the position in operational and administrative situations. Required to frequently lift and move 10-25 pounds. Expected to stand, sit, walk, climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl, bend, talk, hear, taste, smell, see, and operate objects, tools, and controls." These could be part of Requirements or a separate section like Physical Requirements. But we only have headings list; we could include under Requirements as well, or maybe under a separate section like "Physical Requirements" but not in allowed headings. Since allowed headings are limited, we could incorporate into Requirements. - Position Snap Shot: includes Employment Type: Full-Time, Job Type: Exempt, Pay Type: Salary, Pay Range: $55K-$70K, Job Type: Exempt (duplicate), Manager Manages Others: No, Minimum Education: High School Diploma, GED, or equivalent required; Bachelor’s Degree preferred., Minimum Certification: N/A, Minimum Experience: 3 Years; Previous beer distributor or supplier experience is preferred., Age Requirement: 21 years or older, Required Travel: Up to 30%; Must have a reliable vehicle., Driving Requirements: Yes; Good driving record, personal liability auto insurance required., Tools & Equipment Used: Standard Office Equipment. These are qualifications and details. We'll create a Qualifications section with these items as
          . Note: Minimum Certification: N/A is filler; we should not include filler text like "N/A". According to rule: do NOT 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. For Qualifications, we can include items but we should omit the "Minimum Certification: N/A" line as it's filler. Also "Manager Manages Others: No" is substantive? It's a fact; we can keep. "Minimum Experience: 3 Years; Previous beer distributor or supplier experience is preferred." is substantive. "Age Requirement: 21 years or older" substantive. "Required Travel: Up to 30%; Must have a reliable vehicle." substantive. "Driving Requirements: Yes; Good driving record, personal liability auto insurance required." substantive. "Tools & Equipment Used: Standard Office Equipment." substantive. We also have Pay Range and Pay Type; we can put in Pay section. Schedule: "Maintain a flexible work schedule as weekends and extended workdays are often necessary." plus maybe travel up to 30% (though travel could be schedule). We'll include schedule section with flexible schedule, weekends, extended workdays, travel up to 30%. Benefits: not mentioned, so omit. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, with

          headings and

          or

          • . No extra markup. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: Diversity Statement, EEO, etc. Also remove "Apply" repeated lines, "View All Jobs", "Apply Field Sales Representative - Baltimore Baltimore / DC, MD Sales Apply Job Type Full-time Description" etc. Also remove "Apply" at start and end. Let's craft sections:
