That could be About the role.
But we also have Responsibilities section: maybe we can list duties as bullet list. However the About the role already includes many duties. To avoid duplication, we could put the narrative in About the role and then Responsibilities as a bullet list of specific duties (maybe summarizing). But we must preserve all substantive information; we can't omit details. If we put narrative in About the role, we still need to include the bullet list details somewhere else, else we lose them. However we could embed the bullet list within About the role? The rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have a list of duties, we should use ul/li. The posting includes many duties that could be listed. So we could have a Responsibilities section with a ul list of duties. The About the role could be a short prose overview. But we must not lose any detail. So we can have About the role as a brief overview (maybe one paragraph) and Responsibilities as a detailed list.
But we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. We can summarize overview in About the role, then list duties in Responsibilities. That should preserve all details because the list includes them.
