We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes job summary, duties, supervisory responsibilities, education qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities, etc. Benefits: there is a paragraph about BDO benefits (ESOP, etc.) but it's generic; but it's actual content about benefits. Should we include Benefits section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does mention benefits: "BDO provides assurance... We are proud to be an ESOP company, offering participants a stake in the firm’s success through beneficial ownership and a unique opportunity to enhance their financial well-being. As a qualified retirement plan, the ESOP is a meaningful addition to our comprehensive compensation and Total Rewards benefits* offerings." Also "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits." That's specific enough? It's not placeholder. So we can include Benefits section with that content.
Pay: No mention of salary or pay. So omit Pay.
Schedule: The posting says "This position may work a sporadic and fluctuating schedule." That's specific content about schedule. So we can include Schedule section with that sentence.
Now we need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: Could be the Job Summary paragraph. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: Job Duties and Supervisory Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities? Actually that section includes Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. But we also have separate Skills section. Might split: Requirements could be experience, education, certifications. Qualifications could be similar. But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Education, Experience, Certifications into Requirements. Skills into Skills section. Qualifications maybe not needed if overlapping. But we have to follow the list of allowed headings; we can omit any that lack content.
Let's map content:
Job Summary: "The Manager, Risk Advisory Services is responsible for managing and delivering high value solutions to clients in the areas of Internal Auditing and internal control, including business risk assessment, business process improvement/transformation, regulatory compliance, risk management, information technology audit & control, financial and operational audit, business conduct and/or Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”). In this role, the Manager, Risk Advisory Services is charged with managing a team of professionals through all stages of an internal audit and/or consulting engagement to include planning, field work, engagement wrap up and report composition, along with providing recommendations regarding relevant client business risks. TheManager, Risk Advisory Services will also be responsible for providing suggestions to improve the internal controls and operating procedures of assigned clients, as well as managing certain aspects of engagement administration. This position may work a sporadic and fluctuating schedule."
That's about the role.
Job Duties: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). We'll put in Responsibilities.
Supervisory Responsibilities: also part of Responsibilities.
Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: includes bullet list of education, experience, licenses, software, other knowledge skills abilities.
We can split: Requirements: Education, Experience, Licenses/Certifications. Skills: Software proficiency, other knowledge, skills & abilities (communication, analytical, etc.). Qualifications maybe not needed.
But we have a heading Qualifications; we could put the same as Requirements? Might be redundant. Better to omit Qualifications if content overlaps.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. If we omit a heading, we must still include its content somewhere else under another heading. That's okay as long as we don't lose info.
Thus we can have:

We need to split Requirements and Skills.

But we also have the sub-areas under Minimum five (5) years experience... that's part of experience detail; we can keep as part of Requirements.

We must not include Pay. Now we need to extract the exact sentences, preserving all detail. Let's pull content. About the role: The paragraph from Job Summary (including the line about sporadic schedule? Actually that line is in Job Summary: "This position may work a sporadic and fluctuating schedule." That's schedule info; we might move it to Schedule section. But it's currently in the Job Summary paragraph. If we move it, we need to ensure we still preserve it. We'll keep schedule info in Schedule section, and remove from About the role? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we remove that sentence from About the role, we must still include it somewhere else (Schedule). That's fine. So we can edit About the role to exclude that sentence. Let's copy the Job Summary without that sentence. Job Summary text: "JOB DESCRIPTION The Manager, Risk Advisory Services is responsible for managing and delivering high value solutions to clients in the areas of Internal Auditing and internal control, including business risk assessment, business process improvement/transformation, regulatory compliance, risk management, information technology audit & control, financial and operational audit, business conduct and/or Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”).

TheManager, Risk Advisory Services will also be responsible for providing suggestions to improve the internal controls and operating procedures of assigned clients, as well as managing certain aspects of engagement administration." Note there's a typo "TheManager". We'll keep as is. Now Responsibilities: Job Duties list (many sentences). Also Supervisory Responsibilities. We need to convert each duty into
