We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. The posting includes: The Opportunity (intro), Key Responsibilities list, Required Qualifications list, Preferred Qualifications list, Compensation (salary and benefits), Vetting (background investigation) maybe not needed? Also mention Public Trust clearance. Also mention "Ability to obtain and maintain the suitability determination, Public Trust, or other background investigation required by the agency." That's part of Preferred Qualifications? Actually it's listed under Preferred Qualifications bullet. Also mention "Public Trust clearance." under Required Qualifications? It says "Public Trust clearance." as a bullet under Required Qualifications. So we need to capture that.
We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping. The posting has Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could treat Required Qualifications as "Requirements" and Preferred Qualifications as "Qualifications" or maybe "Skills"? But we have separate headings for Skills. Could put skills under Skills heading (like proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Jira, Confluence). However the posting includes those under Key Responsibilities bullet: "Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and collaborative project-management and documentation tools such as Jira and Confluence." That's a skill. Also other skills like facilitation, stakeholder-management, organizational, written communication, briefing, document-management, etc. Those could go under Skills.
We need to avoid filler sections. We'll include About the role (intro). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (Required Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe extract skill bullets). Benefits (benefits listed: medical, dental, vision coverage, PTO, partial 401(k) match). Pay (salary range). Schedule? Not mentioned. So we omit Schedule.
We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, Vetting? The Vetting paragraph about background investigation could be considered part of Requirements? But it's more about clearance eligibility. Could be included under Requirements maybe as a note. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Vetting paragraph is not exactly EEO but it's about background investigation. It's substantive? It says "Candidates selected will be subject to a background investigation for clearance eligibility by our government client." That's relevant to the role (clearance). Could be included under Requirements or maybe a separate section like Clearance. But we only have allowed headings list; we could put it under Requirements or Qualifications. Since it's about clearance eligibility, maybe include under Requirements as a bullet. However the Required Qualifications already includes "Public Trust clearance." So the vetting sentence is somewhat redundant. We could keep it as part of Requirements but not duplicate. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that sentence somewhere. Could add a short paragraph under About the role or under Requirements. Probably under Requirements as a note.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same info.
Let's extract content:

Compensation: "This role is budgeted at an annual salary of $140,000-$150,000, plus benefits including medical, dental, vision coverage, PTO, and partial 401(k) match"
Vetting: "Candidates selected will be subject to a background investigation for clearance eligibility by our government client." This is somewhat covered by Preferred Qualifications bullet about ability to obtain and maintain suitability determination, Public Trust, etc. But we should keep it maybe as a note under Requirements or as a short paragraph.
We must not include EEO boilerplate after that.
Now we need to map to headings.
We have:
for each section heading. Use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions.

Also mention Public Trust clearance. Also mention "Ability to obtain and maintain the suitability determination, Public Trust, or other background investigation required by the agency." That's part of Preferred Qualifications? Actually it's listed under Preferred Qualifications bullet. Also mention "Public Trust clearance." under Required Qualifications? It says "Public Trust clearance." as a bullet under Required Qualifications. So we need to capture that.

Vetting: "Candidates selected will be subject to a background investigation for clearance eligibility by our government client." This is somewhat covered by Preferred Qualifications bullet about ability to obtain and maintain suitability determination, Public Trust, etc. But we should keep it maybe as a note under Requirements or as a short paragraph.
We must not include EEO boilerplate after that.
Now we need to map to headings.
We have:
About the role
intro paragraph
Responsibilities
- ... each bullet
Requirements
- Required Qualifications bullets
Qualifications
- Preferred Qualifications bullets
Skills
maybe we need to extract skills from Responsibilities and maybe elsewhere. But we already have skills in Responsibilities bullet (facilitation, stakeholder-management, organizational, written communication, briefing, document-management, proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Jira, Confluence). Also maybe "Ability to translate technical and operational requirements..." is more a responsibility than skill. But we could still put under Skills. However we risk duplication. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We already have Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Adding Skills may be thin if we just list a few items. But we could incorporate skills into Responsibilities or Requirements. However the instruction says use headings for sections like Skills if there is real specific content. We have specific skill mentions: "Strong facilitation and stakeholder-management skills", "Excellent organizational, written communication, briefing, and document-management skills", "Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and collaborative project-management and documentation tools such as Jira and Confluence". Those are skills. Could make a Skills section with those bullets. That would be substantive enough. But then we would have Responsibilities section maybe without those skill bullets (we could remove them from Responsibilities to avoid duplication). However the Responsibilities bullets include those skill phrases as part of the bullet. Eg "Strong facilitation and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to reconcile competing priorities..." That's a responsibility that also describes a skill. If we move it to Skills, we might lose the responsibility aspect. Better to keep them in Responsibilities and not create a separate Skills section unless we have additional skill content not already captured. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can skip Skills section. Similarly Benefits and Pay: we have Benefits and Pay specifics. So we should include Benefits and Pay sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. We must not include Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Vetting" paragraph. Should we include it? It's substantive about background investigation. Could be placed under Requirements as a note, but we already have Public Trust clearance in Required Qualifications. The Vetting sentence is about candidates selected will be subject to a background investigation for clearance eligibility. That's essentially the same as needing Public Trust clearance. It's somewhat redundant but still substantive. We could incorporate it as a sentence under Requirements maybe as a note: "Candidates selected will be subject to a background investigation for clearance eligibility by the government client." However that is not a qualification but a condition. Could be placed under Requirements as a short paragraph. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include it somewhere. Let's add a short paragraph under Requirements after the list, or maybe under About the role? Better under Requirements as a note. We must not duplicate the Public Trust clearance bullet; we can keep both. Now format: Use for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must output only HTML fragment, no or . No markdown fences.
Let's craft.
About the role paragraph: combine the intro sentences into one or two paragraphs. Could be one
containing all.
Responsibilities list: each bullet as
- .
Requirements list: Required Qualifications bullets as
- . Then after list, add a
for the vetting sentence.
Qualifications list: Preferred Qualifications bullets as
- .
Benefits: list of benefits: medical, dental, vision coverage, PTO, partial 401(k) match. Could be
- medical
... etc.
Pay: salary range: $140,000-$150,000 annual salary. Could be The role is budgeted at an annual salary of $140,000‑$150,000.
(use hyphen or en dash). We'll keep as given.
Now ensure we don't include any extra text like "About the role:" as heading only.
