We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraph about company, then details about position. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse content.
The posting includes:
- Intro: "Journey with us! Combine your career goals and sense of adventure by joining our exciting team of employees. Royal Caribbean Group is pleased to offer a competitive compensation and benefits package, and excellent career development opportunities, each offering unique ways to explore the world. We are proud to be the vacation-industry leader with global brands — including Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises — the most innovative fleet and private destinations, and the best people. Together, we are dedicated to turning the vacation of a lifetime into a lifetime of vacations for our guests."
That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.

The posting includes:
- Intro: "Journey with us! Combine your career goals and sense of adventure by joining our exciting team of employees.

Together, we are dedicated to turning the vacation of a lifetime into a lifetime of vacations for our guests."
That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (maybe summarizing the role). The posting includes "The Royal Caribbean Group’s Supply Chain Team has an exciting career opportunity for a full time Lead, Indirect Procurement reporting to the Director, Indirect Procurement . This position is onsite and based in Miramar Location. This position is also not eligible for work authorization sponsorship." That's role specifics.
Then "Position Summary / Job Purpose" paragraph: "Subject matter procurement expert for the assigned to the Indirect Procurement Categories. Research suppliers from a variety of usual and unusual sources. Confers with suppliers to obtain product or service information such as price, availability and delivery schedule in a total cost of ownership perspective. Responsible for short- and long-term planning and strategizing for assigned indirect procurement categories such as Technology, Facilities, Professional Business Services, Private Destination, Product Development, Consulting, Legal, Financial Services, HR, Marketing, External Staffing, among others."
That could be part of Responsibilities.
Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" list: many bullet-like sentences. We'll need to put them in - .
Then "Education, Experience, Knowledge & Skills" includes requirements: 8+ years related procurement experience, Bachelor's degree, ability to work fast-paced, negotiation and analytical skills, strong interpersonal skills, advanced knowledge of MS Office Excel, ability to calculate figures, ability to write reports, ability to present information.
That's qualifications/skills.
Then "Physical requirements and Work Environment" includes Financial Responsibilities (For Management Roles Only) $100,000 expenditure limit. Oversees a multimillion-dollar commodity spend. ($5-150 million). Physical Demands: sitting, talking, hearing, occasional stand/walk, vision abilities. Work Environment: up to 25% domestic and international travel.
Also "Benefits" maybe mentioned earlier: "Royal Caribbean Group is pleased to offer a competitive compensation and benefits package". No specifics. So we should not create Benefits section unless specific details given. Since no specifics, we omit Benefits.
Pay: Not specified. No salary figure. So omit Pay.
Schedule: Not specified (full time). Could mention full time? The posting says "full time Lead, Indirect Procurement". That's schedule info: full time. Should we include Schedule section? It says include only when posting has real specific content. "full time" is specific enough? Might be considered schedule. However they said "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "full time" is not filler. So we could include Schedule section with that detail.
But also there is "Onsite and based in Miramar Location." That's location, not schedule.
We could include Schedule: "Full-time, onsite position in Miramar." Might be okay.
But we need to decide sections: About the role (intro + position summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (education/experience), Skills (maybe combine with Requirements? They said separate sections for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have Education, Experience, Knowledge & Skills which covers both requirements and skills. Could split: Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (negotiation, analytical, interpersonal, MS Office, etc). Qualifications maybe similar to Requirements. We'll follow typical: Requirements = education/experience; Skills = specific abilities.
We have "Physical requirements and Work Environment" maybe could be part of Responsibilities? Not exactly. Could be its own section but not in allowed headings. Not needed.
We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Lead, Indirect Procurement.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. At end there is EEO statement; we must remove.
Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "We know there's a lot to consider..." and "Thank you again..." and "We'll hope to see you onboard soon!" That's application instructions? Might be considered boilerplate; we should remove. Also "It is the policy of the Company..." EEO must be removed.
Thus final HTML:

Check for any other specifics: "Financial Responsibilities (For Management Roles Only) $100,000 expenditure limit. Oversees a multimillion-dollar commodity spend. ($5-150 million)" Could be included under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section but not allowed headings. Could add as a responsibility bullet.
Also "Physical Demands While performing the duties of this job, the employee is frequently required to sit and talk or hear. The employee is occasionally required to stand and walk. Specific vision abilities required by the job include close vision and color vision." Could be added as responsibility or maybe not needed. But we should preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit. So we need to include those details somewhere. Could add under Responsibilities as additional bullet points.
Also "Work Environment The work environment characteristics described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Up to 25% domestic and international travel, as necessary." That's also substantive; we should include. Could add under Responsibilities or maybe under Schedule? Travel is schedule-related. Could add under Schedule bullet.
We need to ensure we don't invent or summarize away detail. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include those physical demands, work environment, travel, financial responsibilities.

Also "Financial Responsibilities (For Management Roles Only) $100,000 expenditure limit. Oversees a multimillion-dollar commodity spend. ($5-150 million)" is separate.
Physical Demands: sitting/talk/hear frequent; occasional stand/walk; vision abilities: close vision and color vision.
Work Environment: reasonable accommodations may be made; up to 25% domestic and international travel as necessary.
We need to include all these.
We can put many under Responsibilities . Also add financial responsibilities, physical demands, work environment as list items.
