We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes many paragraphs. Need to extract sections: About the role? The intro paragraph: "Our values start with our people, join a team that values you!

That's about the company/role. Could be "About the role". Then "GENERAL PURPOSE" heading: "Responsible for all aspects of the Stores’ operations. Leads the entire operation of the Store to ensure that Company standards and best practices are consistently met. Staffs, trains and develops leadership team to deliver the desired sales and profit results, while maintaining a friendly, easy to shop environment. Recruits, trains and develops Associates. Manages the operations of the Stockroom, Front End, and Sales Floor to ensure new merchandise gets to the sales floor in a timely manner, goods are received properly and manages expenses through execution of best practices and productivity."
Then "Essential Functions" with subcategories: General Operating Requirements, Organizational Development, Expense Control, Maintaining a Safe & Secure Environment, Customer Service, Personal And Store Brand, Merchandise Processing and In-Store Marketing, Loss Prevention.
Then "COMPETENCIES" list: Manages Work Processes Business Acumen Plans, Aligns & Prioritizes Developing Talent Collaboration Leading by Example Communication Ensures Accountability & Execution
Then "Qualifications & Special Skills Required": bullet list of requirements.
Then "EDUCATION / CERTIFICATIONS": not present? Actually there is no explicit education/certifications section; there is "Physical Requirements" after that. So we may have a section "Physical Requirements". Also "Supervisory Responsibilities". Also "DISCLAIMER" which we should drop (boilerplate). Also EEO etc drop.
We need to decide headings: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings where appropriate.
We have: About the role (intro). Responsibilities (General Purpose + Essential Functions). Requirements (Qualifications & Special Skills Required). Skills (Competencies). Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Schedule? Not present (though mentions ability to work evenings and weekends under qualifications). That's more a requirement than schedule. So we may not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits.
We also have Physical Requirements and Supervisory Responsibilities; could be part of Requirements or separate sections? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Physical Requirements and Supervisory Responsibilities under Requirements or maybe under "Qualifications". But they are separate content; we could include them as subpoints under Requirements using

Could combine Physical Requirements and Supervisory Responsibilities under Requirements or maybe under "Qualifications". But they are separate content; we could include them as subpoints under Requirements using . However we need to preserve all substantive info. Could create a section "Requirements" that includes qualifications, physical requirements, supervisory responsibilities. Or we could have separate sections: "Qualifications", "Physical Requirements", "Supervisory Responsibilities". But that may be many thin sections. Better to combine into "Requirements" with subpoints.
Similarly "Skills" could be competencies.
Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills.
We need to use for each section heading. Inside each, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: disclaimer, EEO, etc.
Let's extract content.
About the role: combine the introductory paragraph(s) before "GENERAL PURPOSE". That includes the values, company description. We'll put as

Responsibilities: include GENERAL PURPOSE paragraph and then each essential function category with its bullet points. We'll need to list duties as
