Lead Data Scientist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We have: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about Blend360 and role description. Could be "About the role" section. - Responsibilities: "What you’ll do:" bullet list. - Requirements: maybe "Qualifications" includes required qualifications. Could separate "Requirements" and "Qualifications"? The instruction says use headings for those categories. We need to decide what content goes where. We have "Qualifications" section with Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could map Required Qualifications to "Requirements" heading, and Preferred Qualifications to "Qualifications" heading? Or combine? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications. Probably Requirements = required qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications or additional qualifications. Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit Skills if no specific skills list. Benefits: we have benefits described. Pay: we have starting pay range $70-75 per hour. Schedule: we have location hybrid 3 days per week onsite in Stamford, CT, duration 6-month consulting role. That's schedule info? Could treat as Schedule section: location and duration. Or maybe we could put location/duration under About the role? But we have a Schedule heading; we can include location and duration there. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, diversity statement, etc. Remove those. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information.
