We need to decide sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits (What do we offer). Possibly also Qualifications/Skills but we can combine Requirements includes qualifications and skills. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should only include sections with real content. We have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. No explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we omit Pay and Schedule. Also we might separate Qualifications and Skills but we can keep Requirements as one section covering both. Could also split into Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (abilities). But we have enough content; we can keep one Requirements section.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
