We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. So we need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:
Job Summary paragraph: "The IT Business Operations Manager reports to the Senior Director, Strategy and Innovation and supports employee engagement, workforce development, and selected IT business operations within IT. The incumbent is responsible for managing IT business planning, operations and process improvement. The incumbent serves as a member of the SJSU-IT Leadership Team and works in collaboration with leaders in SJSU-IT to support budget planning and management, operations and process improvement. The manager will play a critical role in assisting the Senior Director in the SJSU-IT financial strategy, overseeing annual budgetary planning and cost management, managing quarterly forecasting and reconciliation. The incumbent is also responsible for managing the University’s Technology Product Requisition Accessibility and IT Risk Assessment Process to support the CSU Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI). In collaboration with IT leadership, the incumbent administers and improves recruiting, onboarding, and employee development processes, working closely with University Personnel, recruiting partners, and consulting firms. The incumbent assigns work, coach staff, and supports professional development while fostering a collaborative, service-oriented, and learning-focused environment."
That's a summary; could be "About the role" section.
Key Responsibilities: long list. We'll put under
Responsibilities
with- each bullet.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: list of abilities. Could be Skills section.
Required Qualifications: bullet? It's paragraph: "Bachelor’s degree in business administration or related field; Equivalent relevant work experience or a combination of education and experience may be substituted for the required education.A minimum of two years’ experience in business operations, financial management, budgeting, forecasting, or resource planning." Could be Qualifications.
Preferred Qualifications: list.
Compensation Classification: Administrator I Anticipated Hiring Range: $10,000/month - $10,834/month CSU Salary Range: $4,135/month - $12,288/month The final hiring salary will be commensurate with experience. San José State University offers employees a comprehensive benefits package typically worth 30-35% of your base salary. For more information on programs available, please see the Employee Benefits Summary .
We need Pay section if posting actually states them. It does state Anticipated Hiring Range and CSU Salary Range. However we must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" as placeholder? The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So we can include Pay section but must avoid filler text. We can include the ranges and note that final salary will be commensurate with experience? That phrase is filler? It says "commensurate with experience" which is listed as filler to avoid. So we should not include that phrase. We can include the ranges and maybe mention benefits. Benefits: "San José State University offers employees a comprehensive benefits package typically worth 30-35% of your base salary." That's substantive. So we can have Benefits section.
Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule.
We also need to remove application instructions, boilerplate, legal, EEO, etc. So we must cut out everything after "Benefits" maybe.
We must preserve all substantive information. That includes the responsibilities list, knowledge/skills, qualifications, preferred qualifications, compensation, benefits. Also maybe the classification "Administrator I". That's part of Pay? Could be included in Pay section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for IT Business Operations Manager.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:

We must ensure we didn't include filler like "commensurate with experience". We omitted that. Check that we didn't inadvertently include any boilerplate.

We must not include any other sections like Schedule.
Now ensure we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". We omitted.
Check for any duplicated lines: we should not repeat same content. We'll ensure each bullet appears once.
Now produce HTML.
We need to wrap each section in
and then content. Make sure to escape any HTML special characters? The text includes ampersand (&) in "travel & training". Should we escape? Usually in HTML we need to escape & as &. The instruction didn't mention escaping but to produce valid HTML fragment, we should escape. However many similar tasks accept raw text. Safer to escape. Also we have en-dash ranges; we can keep as hyphen or –. Use hyphen. We'll escape & as &. Also we have parentheses etc fine. Let's construct. About the role paragraph: we need to include the summary exactly as given but maybe we can keep as is. Ensure we escape &. The summary: "The IT Business Operations Manager reports to the Senior Director, Strategy and Innovation and supports employee engagement,
