We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "About Covista" description, but we need to follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have content for About Covista (company description). Should we have a section "About the role"? The posting includes "Opportunity at a Glance" which is about the role. Could map to "About the role". Also we have "Responsibilities", "Qualifications". Also "Benefits" and "Pay" (salary range). Also "Schedule" (hybrid schedule with four in-office days per week). Also maybe "Skills"? Not explicit but could infer from qualifications. But we should not create sections without content. We have content for Skills? Not explicit list; we could maybe include under Qualifications. Better to not create Skills section if not explicit. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning). At end there is "Equal Opportunity – Minority / Female / Disability / V / Gender Identity / Sexual Orientation" - that's EEO boilerplate, should be removed. Also "Additional Information" includes salary range and benefits. We'll extract Pay and Benefits sections. Also "Our Talent Acquisition Team will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and we look forward to learning more about your salary requirements." That's application instruction? Might be considered boilerplate; we can drop. Also "For more information related to our benefits please visit: https://careers.covista.com/benefits" - maybe keep as part of Benefits? It's a link; we could keep as part of Benefits description. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Structure:

About the role

Opportunity at a Glance The Campus Expansion team is seeking an Operations Specialist to support the successful planning, coordination, and execution of campus launches. In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to develop processes, manage project activities, and drive operational readiness across a growing portfolio of organizational growth initiatives. This is a generalist role that is highly collaborative, providing operational support for our campus implementation, real estate, and project management teams. This position requires someone who is highly organized, adaptable, action-oriented, and capable of navigating competing priorities while maintaining focus on key milestones and deliverables. This role can be based in our Chicago, IL or Lisle, IL locations.

Then maybe a short paragraph about Covista? Could be "About Covista" but not in list of headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About Covista". However we could incorporate company description into About the role or maybe we could add a section "About Covista" but not allowed? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive list. But they say "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are typical headings we should use. It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we stick to those. The company description could be placed under About the role as part of role description? Might be okay. Alternatively we could add a section "About Covista" but not in examples; risk. Better to incorporate into About the role paragraph. Now Responsibilities: list items. Qualifications: list items. Benefits: list items. Pay: include salary range. Schedule: hybrid schedule. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's extract details. About Covista paragraph: "Covista (NYSE: CVSA) is America's largest healthcare educator, serving 100,000 students and supported by a community of 400,000 alumni across five accredited institutions. Through personalized, tech-enabled education powered by 10,000 faculty and colleagues, Covista expands access to healthcare careers and addresses the U.S. healthcare workforce shortage at scale. Covista is the parent company of American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, Chamberlain University, Ross University School of Medicine, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and Walden University. Our colleagues come from a wide range of backgrounds, business, academia, healthcare, government and nonprofits, and are part of a culture where doing exceptional work and making a meaningful difference for students and society aren't separate goals—they're one and the same. This means creating an environment where colleagues can develop new skills, build careers that match their ambitions and see the tangible impact of their work on healthcare education and workforce development. Colleagues who deliver results and embrace new tools to work smarter are valued for their contributions. But what makes working at Covista distinctive is our impact. Our faculty and colleagues don't just support healthcare education—they shape it. This isn't abstract purpose work. It's solving real problems for real people in real communities while advancing careers. We operate on a hybrid schedule with four in-office days per week (Monday–Thursday). This approach enhances creativity, innovation, communication, and relationship-building, fostering a dynamic and collaborative work environment. For more information, visit covista.com and follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube." We could include this as part of About the role or maybe a separate section "About Covista". Since not in list, maybe we incorporate into About the role as introductory paragraph. But the About the role section should focus on the role. Could still include company overview as context. It's okay. Now Responsibilities list: - Provide administrative and operational support to the campus expansion team. - Maintain and update centralized project repositories and trackers, and ensure documentation is current, accurate, and readily accessible to stakeholders. - Support the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of operational processes, tools, templates, and project governance practices that support campus expansions initiatives. - Assist campus expansion team with operational readiness activities, site visit planning and coordination, regulatory research, business license applications, procurement & purchase order management, and facility support. - Maintain project plans, trackers, timelines, and status reports to ensure milestones, dependencies, risks, and action items are accurately documented and communicated. - Leverage project management and reporting technologies, including AI-enabled tools, to improve operational efficiency. - Support the coordination of regulatory and licensing activities by tracking deadlines and submission statuses. - Develop and maintain key stakeholder relationships to support achievement of project objectives. - Perform other duties as assigned. - Comply with all policies and procedures. Now Qualifications list: - Bachelor's Degree required. - 4+ years of experience in business operations or project management. - Experience with process improvement, coordination, and change management preferred. - Strong teamwork and interpersonal skills. - Ability to interact with all levels within the organization and work with multiple projects simultaneously. - Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and written & verbal communication skills. - Exceptional organization skills; must be able to manage tasks and projects with minimal guidance. - Ability to work independently and make sound decisions with minimal supervision and direction. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite required. - Basic skills/knowledge of Smartsheet, SharePoint, and AI technology preferred. Now Benefits list (from "Additional Information"): "Covista offers a robust suite of benefits including: Health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance 401k Retirement Program + 6% employer match Participation in Covista’s Flexible Time Off (FTO) Policy 12 Paid Holidays". Also link. We'll list: - Health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance - 401k Retirement Program + 6% employer match - Participation in Covista’s Flexible Time Off (FTO) Policy - 12 Paid Holidays Now Pay: salary range $50,000 to $70,000. Now Schedule: hybrid schedule with four in-office days per week (Monday–Thursday). Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Equal Opportunity – Minority / Female / Disability / V / Gender Identity / Sexual Orientation". Remove. Also remove "Our Talent Acquisition Team will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and we look forward to learning more about your salary requirements." and "For more information related to our benefits please visit: https://careers.covista.com/benefits" maybe we can keep link as part of Benefits? It's not required but could be considered supplementary. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link is substantive? It's a reference for more info. Could keep as a

within Benefits section. But we must not include application instructions. The link to benefits is not application instruction; it's info. Could keep. Now format:

About the role

[company overview + opportunity at a glance]

But we need to avoid too long paragraph; but okay. Let's craft About the role paragraph combining company overview and opportunity at a glance. We'll write:
