Learning and Development Manager
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract content.
Let's parse posting:

Then "What You'll Do" with bullet points.
Then "What Makes This Role Exciting" bullet points.
Then "What We're Looking For" with Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
Then "Work Environment" details.
Then "Why Join Colorado 811?" with mission.
Then "Compensation & Benefits" with salary range, bonus, benefits description.
Then "If you're energized..." etc.
We need sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Preferred?), Skills (maybe bullet list of skills?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to see if we have content for each.
- About the role: we have intro paragraphs describing role, mission, etc. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" list.
- Requirements: Could be "Required Qualifications". That's content.
- Qualifications: Could be "Preferred Qualifications". That's content.
- Skills: Could be extracted from "What Makes This Role Exciting" maybe? Or from required qualifications list includes skills like instructional design, project management, stakeholder engagement, etc. We could create a Skills section summarizing those. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can list the skills as bullet points from the posting. The posting includes "Strong instructional design and adult learning expertise", "Demonstrated project management and stakeholder engagement skills", "Experience working with learning technologies, LMS platforms, and content development tools", "Excellent communication, facilitation, and collaboration skills". Also "Experience developing instructor-led, virtual, blended, LMS-based, and eLearning content". Those are skills. We can put them in Skills section.
- Benefits: we have description in Compensation & Benefits: employer-paid medical, dental, vision premiums; HSA/FSA; company-sponsored life insurance, long-term disability, EAP; employer 401(k) contribution; paid time off; paid holidays; additional wellbeing and professional-development support. Also bonus eligible based on performance. That's benefits.
- Pay: Base Salary Range: $95,000–$118,000 per annum. Also mention bonus eligible. So we can have Pay section with that.
- Schedule: Work Environment: Hybrid schedule: 2 days in-office and 3 days remote; Based in Golden, Colorado; Statewide travel required; occasional evening, weekend, or non-standard work hours may be required. That's schedule info.
We must not include duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions like "Apply today! Application Deadline: October 16, 2026". Also remove EEO boilerplate at end.
We must not include markdown fences. Output only HTML fragment.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content is list vs prose.
For About the role: we can put prose in

We can keep as is, maybe split into paragraphs but it's fine as one

We could flatten into a single list of bullet points, but we can keep sub-bullets? HTML only allows
- . Could nest
inside - . That's okay.
Requirements (Required Qualifications):
- Bachelor's degree in Instructional Design, Education, Learning & Development, Organizational Development, or a related field; or equivalent experience
- Five or more years of progressive experience in learning and development, instructional design, curriculum development, training operations, or related fields
- At least two years of people leadership, supervision, or team leadership experience
- Experience developing instructor-led, virtual, blended, LMS-based, and eLearning content
- Strong instructional design and adult learning expertise
- Demonstrated project management and stakeholder engagement skills
- Experience working with learning technologies, LMS platforms, and content development tools
- Excellent communication, facilitation, and collaboration skills
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications):
- Learning and development, instructional design, project management, change management, or LMS certifications
- Experience managing vendors, partnerships, or third-party learning solutions
- Experience in nonprofit, utility, construction, safety, compliance, association, or stakeholder education environments
Skills: Could be derived from required qualifications: instructional design, adult learning, project management, stakeholder engagement, learning technologies, LMS, content development tools, communication, facilitation, collaboration, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we skip Skills section or combine. However instructions: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could omit Skills if its content overlaps heavily with Requirements. But we need to decide if we have distinct content for Skills. The posting includes "What Makes This Role Exciting" bullet points: Opportunity to build and shape learning programs that impact an entire industry; Use cutting-edge learning and AI tools including Microsoft Copilot, Articulate 360, Mindsmith, Synthesia, Canva, Camtasia, and more; Blend creativity, technology, project management, and leadership in one role; Work with a collaborative team committed to innovation and continuous improvement; Help advance Colorado 811's mission of protecting people, property, and critical infrastructure. Those are more about exciting aspects, not skills. Could treat as Skills? But they are more about role excitement. Might be better to include a section "What Makes This Role Exciting" but we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add custom heading. We could put those exciting points under Skills? Not accurate. Better to omit Skills section if no distinct skill list beyond what's in Requirements. However we have "What Makes This Role Exciting" which is not covered elsewhere. Could we treat that as part of About the role? It's about role excitement, could be added to About the role prose. That would be okay.
Thus we may not need Skills section.
