Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. Need to preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting.

Those are skills/competencies. - About LifeWorks: description. We need sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Education and Experience?), Skills (Core Competencies), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (if schedule mentioned: full time). The posting says "This full time, exempt position". So schedule: Full-time. We can include Schedule section can be included if we have specific content: "Full-time". That's specific enough. Should we include? The rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. "Full-time" is specific. So we can include Schedule section with
Full-time, exempt position.
Pay: we have salary range $67,221 - $94,939. So include Pay section. Benefits: we have details. Include Benefits section. About the role: we can summarize the role description (first paragraph). Could be considered "About the role". UseAbout the role
then...
containing the description. Responsibilities: we have bullet list under Responsibilities heading. Use- for each duty.
Requirements: maybe we combine Qualifications (Education and Experience) and Skills? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have Qualifications (Education and Experience) and Skills (Core Competencies). So we can put Education/Experience under Qualifications heading, and Core Competencies under Skills heading.
Requirements maybe could be something like "Minimum of 3 years experience..." but that's also qualifications. However we can treat Requirements as maybe the mandatory requirements (Bachelor's degree required, 3 years experience). But we already have Qualifications for education/experience. To avoid duplication, we could put mandatory requirements under Requirements, and preferred qualifications under Qualifications? But the instruction says use those headings; we need to decide distribution.
Better: Requirements: Bachelor's degree required; Minimum 3 years experience in institutional fundraising, grant development, or related nonprofit revenue generation, with demonstrated success securing private and/or public institutional funding. Also maybe experience managing institutional funder relationships across full lifecycle? That's also a requirement. But we can split.
Qualifications: CFRE/other relevant fundraising certification preferred; Strong proposal development experience; Excellent verbal and written communication skills; Advanced Microsoft Suite Skills; Experience using donor CRM systems; Experience using funder research tools; Familiarity with government funders.
Skills: Core Competencies list.
