We need to output only HTML fragment, using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive information. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". We need to extract sections: About the role (maybe intro paragraph about Vital Farms and role?), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits (they list benefits), Pay (they mention competitive pay but not specific amount; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Competitive pay and benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision, and Paid Parental Leave, just to name a few)." That's a statement about pay being competitive but no specific numbers. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits (list). It mentions competitive pay but not specific pay. Should we include Pay section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits, so we can include Benefits. For Pay, it says "Competitive pay and benefits". That is a statement about pay but not specific numbers. Is that considered stating pay? It says competitive pay, which is a statement but not a specific amount. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that there is competitive pay, but it's vague. Might be considered stating pay exists, but not a specific figure. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include Pay section with that statement? However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state "Competitive pay and benefits". So we could include a Pay section with that sentence. But we also have Benefits section listing specifics. Could combine Pay and Benefits? They said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could have a Benefits section that includes both pay and benefits statements. But they have separate headings list: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include Benefits and maybe Pay if we think it's substantive. However the Pay statement is just "Competitive pay and benefits". That's thin. Might be better to omit Pay section and just include Benefits that mentions competitive pay as part of benefits description. But the rule says we should not invent or summarize away detail. If we omit Pay, we lose the statement about competitive pay. But we could incorporate that into Benefits section: "Competitive pay and benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision, and Paid Parental Leave, just to name a few)." That would be a single Benefits section covering both. That seems acceptable. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Now sections: About the role (intro about Vital Farms and role?), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe combine Requirements, Qualifications, Skills). They have "What You Bring To The Table" which includes requirements and skills. Also they have "What We Bring To The Table" which is benefits. Also "Who We Are" is company description. Could treat "About the role" as the introductory paragraphs describing the role and company values. The instructions: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings as appropriate. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract: Intro paragraph: "Finding the right place to grow your career isn’t (over) easy, so we’re here to help by sharing a few reasons why the grass is greener at Vital Farms. We think you’ll appreciate our focus on Conscious Capitalism, which drives business decisions that benefit all our stakeholders (leading to even better business results). You might be drawn to our innovative approach and refusal to settle for the “way things have always been done.” Or you could find it exciting to grow your skills while working for an industry-leading brand. Whether you’re into our values, our brand, or our egg-cellent puns, we hope you’ll join our Crew and help us change the world 108 square feet at a time! At Vital Farms, we are proud of our incredible stakeholders, and the diversity they represent from all areas and communities in which we operate and serve. We view this as a source of strength for us and your job is to help us make it even better." Then role description: "The Food Safety & Quality Assurance Supervisor is responsible for ensuring the implementation of all company’s policies, procedures, and activities involved in producing high quality products. They will maintain close working relationships with leadership and crew to support producing a high-quality product. The Quality Assurance Supervisor will help identify, solve, and prevent problems affecting product food safety, quality, productivity, and regulatory compliance. The Food Safety & Quality Assurance Supervisor will report directly to the Food Safety & Quality Manager." Then "What You’ll Do" list of duties (many bullet points). Then "What You Bring To The Table" list of requirements/skills/attributes. Then "What We Bring To The Table" list of benefits. Then "Who We Are" company description. Then EEO etc (remove). Then "Ready to Join Us?" etc (maybe consider as call to action, but we should remove application instructions). The instructions say remove application instructions. So we should remove "Ready to Join Us?" and following paragraphs about next steps, staying safe, notification to agencies, California applicants etc. Also remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Also remove scam warning etc. Thus we keep: Intro about Vital Farms and role, responsibilities list, requirements list, benefits list, company description (Who We Are). Possibly also include "About the role" heading covering intro and role description. Then "Responsibilities" heading for the What You’ll Do list. Then "Requirements" heading for What You Bring To The Table (maybe combine requirements and skills). Then "Benefits" heading for What We Bring To The Table. Then maybe "About the company" but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe we can add a section "About the company" but not in list; better to incorporate into About the role or maybe we can omit? But we need to preserve all substantive information; the "Who We Are" paragraph is substantive. We could put it under About the role as additional paragraph, or we could create a separate heading like "About the company" but not allowed; we could use

for "About the role" and include company description there. That seems okay. Thus final HTML:
