Head of Commercial Surety
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay (salary range), Benefits. Also maybe About the role (intro). Could also include "Location" but not a required heading; we could embed location in a paragraph. We should not create Schedule if not present. No Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Pay is present (salary range). Benefits present. So include Pay and Benefits sections.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, diversity statement? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The DEI statement might be considered EEO boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "The Company is open to considering candidates..." location info is not boilerplate; keep.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details: responsibilities list, qualifications list, salary range, benefits list, location info, maybe mention of travel up to 30%, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no Head of Commercial Surety
. Use headings for sections.
We need to decide headings: About the role (intro about company and opportunity). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (list). Pay (salary range). Benefits (list). Possibly Skills? Could combine qualifications and skills but we have qualifications list includes skills; we can just use Qualifications heading. Avoid thin sections.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.

That's the intro/opportunity. We'll put under About the role.
Responsibilities: list bullet points after "In this position you will:" then a series of sentences separated by line breaks? Let's extract each bullet:

Also location: "The Company is open to considering candidates in numerous locations, including New York (NY), Philadelphia (PA), Princeton (NJ), Hartford (CT) and Remote." Could be a paragraph.
Pay: "The base salary range anticipated for this position is $226,900-$378,100, plus opportunity for company bonus based upon a percentage of eligible pay." Also mention about geography adjustment etc. We'll keep that.
Benefits: "In addition, the company makes available a variety of benefits to employees, including health insurance coverage, an employee wellness program, life and disability insurance, 401k match, retirement savings plan, paid holidays and paid time off (PTO)." Also maybe mention salary estimate adjusted etc but that's part of Pay.
We should not include DEI/EEO boilerplate. So remove paragraphs starting with "At Munich Re, we see Diversity..." etc.
Also remove "The salary estimate is adjusted to reflect the varying market conditions across different locations, with the with the higher end being more aligned with the NYC job market. Factors that may be used to determine your actual salary include your specific skills, how many years of experience you have and comparison to other employees already in this role. Most candidates will start in the bottom half of the range." This is still part of Pay details; it's substantive about salary determination. Should we keep? It's not boilerplate; it's about salary determination. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that as part of Pay section. However we must avoid placeholder text like "not specified". This is fine.
Thus Pay section will include base salary range, bonus, geography adjustment, factors determining salary, typical start.
Now Benefits section: list benefits.
We also need to include location paragraph maybe under About the role or separate? Could be its own heading? Not in allowed headings list; we could just put as a paragraph after About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for the job title.
Now produce HTML:
About the role
... intro paragraphs ...
Maybe also include location paragraph after that.
Responsibilities

Qualifications

... salary details ...

We must not include empty sections.
Check for any duplicated lines: ensure we don't repeat.
Now craft the About the role paragraph(s). We need to combine the intro and opportunity text into a coherent paragraph(s). We'll keep as maybe two paragraphs: first about company, second about opportunity.
Let's write:
