We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes description (intro) which could be "About the role". Then "Responsibilities:" list. Then "Skills and Experience:" includes qualifications, skills, software knowledge, leadership competencies. Could split into Requirements/Qualifications/Skills? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. 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: intro paragraph(s) describing role. That's present.
- Responsibilities: bullet list.
- Requirements: maybe education and experience? Could be "Requirements". Could include Bachelor's degree required, 8+ years experience, etc.
- Qualifications: maybe professional designations, certifications.
- Skills: includes software knowledge, leadership competencies, etc.
- Pay: salary range given.
- Benefits: not mentioned. So we should not include Benefits.
- Schedule: not mentioned.
Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting ends with "SAMACO" maybe company name; we can keep as part of description? It's not boilerplate; it's maybe signature. We'll keep it as part of About the role paragraph.

We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities list, we have bullet points starting with "-". We'll convert each to
- . For requirements/qualifications/skills we may also have bullet-like lists but they are in paragraph form with semicolons. The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have a list of items (like requirements), we should put them in
. The "Skills and Experience:" section contains many items separated by line breaks and hyphens. We can treat each line as a list item.
We need to decide how to split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could combine but better to follow headings.
