Qualifications: maybe education and experience requirements (Bachelor's degree, 2-4 years experience). Could be Qualifications. Requirements: maybe the specific expertise items (tax legislation, indirect tax refund recovery, etc). Could be Requirements. But we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections.

Responsibilities (key responsibilities bullet list plus later paragraphs). Skills (Skills And Attributes For Success). Benefits (benefits description). Pay (salary ranges). Schedule (hybrid model). Qualifications maybe education/experience. Requirements maybe the specific expertise list. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title. We must output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: location list, intro paragraphs, etc.
We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. So drop those.
