Better to keep About the role as summary (the role description). And we could omit About Us section because not in prescribed headings? But we could include it under About the role? The instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's examples, not exhaustive. We could add About Us as a heading if we want, but better to stick to those. However we need to preserve all substantive information; About Us is substantive. We could incorporate About Us into About the role section (maybe as additional paragraph). That would preserve info.
Thus About the role section will contain summary + About Us description.
Now we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we won't put that.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. They do.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific wage range, so Pay is fine.
