IT Product Owner
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we can use other headings? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we should use those headings if applicable, but we can also use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they want us to map content to those standard headings. But we can also include other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests we should use those for typical sections. Probably we should map content to those headings where appropriate. For example: About the role could be Position Summary. Responsibilities could be Essential Duties and Responsibilities. Requirements could be Experience and Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications could be Preferred Knowledge... Skills could be maybe not present. Benefits could be What We Offer (benefits). Pay and Schedule only if present; we have no explicit pay or schedule details, so we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "IT Product Owner". Not to be used as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should strip out the Diversity and Equal Opportunity, Americans with Disabilities Act Statement? Those are EEO boilerplate; we should remove them. Also disclaimer maybe boilerplate? It's a generic disclaimer; might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the Disclaimer, Diversity and Equal Opportunity, Americans with Disabilities Act Statement. Also maybe "Are We Your Company?" is marketing fluff but not boilerplate; could keep as "About the company"? But we have "About Leaf Home" already. The "Are We Your Company? Focused on Growth" seems like marketing; could be considered part of About Leaf Home. Might be okay to keep as part of About Leaf Home? But we already have About Leaf Home section earlier. Might combine.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep details about responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, travel, overtime, physical requirements, awards, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
About the role
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they want us to map content to those standard headings.

We'll structure:
About the role
About the role
Position Summary: ...
Responsibilities
- ... each duty
Requirements
- ... minimum qualifications
Qualifications
- ... preferred knowledge, skills, abilities or certifications
Skills
maybe not needed; we could omit if no specific skills beyond those listed. Could combine with Qualifications. But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they said use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could have separate sections if content exists. We have both minimum qualifications and preferred qualifications. So we can have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe not separate.Benefits
- ... benefits list
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests we should use those for typical sections. Might be okay to add other headings like "Travel Requirements", "Physical Requirements". But to be safe, we could incorporate travel and overtime into Responsibilities or Additional Notes? But they are substantive; we should keep them. Perhaps we can create a section "Additional Details" with but not in the list; risk of violating instruction? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, just gives examples. So we can use other headings as needed. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid many thin sections. Travel, overtime, physical requirements could be combined into a single "Working Conditions" section.
Thus:
Working Conditions
- Travel: Occasional overnight travel required (1-10%); travel to Canada may be required, project dependent.
- Overtime: Additional and non-standard hours may be required (exempt); project dependent, could work weekends or after normal business hours.
- Physical Requirements: Normal office environment; sedentary work; exerting up to 10 pounds of force occasionally.
We also have Awards and Recognition; could be under "Awards and Recognition" section.
We also have "What We Offer" benefits; we already have Benefits.
We also have "Additional Perks" could be part of Benefits.
We also have "Are We Your Company? Focused on Growth" maybe part of About Leaf Home.
We need to avoid duplication: The "About Leaf Home" at top includes mission statement etc. We'll put that under About the role? Actually About the role is about the position; but we have "About Leaf Home" describing company. Could treat as "About the company" but not in list. Could put under About the role? Might be okay to have a section "About Leaf Home" as About Leaf Home
but instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It didn't forbid About Leaf Home. So we can include that.
Thus final HTML:
