We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to include sections: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities (Essential Duties and Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Requirements, maybe also Preferred Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe combine with Requirements?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (list of benefits), Pay (salary range), Schedule (not given, so omit). Also need to include location preferences? Could be part of About the role or Requirements. The posting includes location preferences and US citizenship, security clearance, pending contract award. Those are requirements. So we can include them under Requirements or Qualifications.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". The posting includes salary range specifics: Minimum Salary $88,000.00 Maximum Salary $189,200.00. That's specific, so we can include Pay section with that.
Benefits: list many bullet points under "Why Maximus?" with emojis. We need to extract those benefits as list items. Should we keep emojis? Probably okay but could strip. We'll keep text.
Responsibilities: The "Essential Duties and Responsibilities" block is long; we need to turn into
- items. Also there is a block before that about assisting leadership etc. Actually the responsibilities include both leadership duties and dietitian duties. We'll combine all bullet-like sentences into list items. Need to parse.

Now Pay: Minimum Salary $88,000.00 Maximum Salary $189,200.00.
We could phrase as "Salary range: $88,000 – $189,200 per year."
Now About the role: maybe a brief paragraph summarizing role: "Maximus is seeking a credentialed Performance Dietitian to provide comprehensive nutrition care that optimizes operator health, performance, and recovery. The Performance Dietitian serves as a direct access provider and delivers evidence-based nutrition assessment, counseling, education, and performance-focused fueling strategies for individuals and units. This role supports physiological and cognitive performance through nutritional risk identification, targeted dietary and supplement interventions, and development of individual and unit-specific programs."
We'll put that in
under About the role heading. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use
- for lists. Use
for prose. We must not include sections with placeholder text. We have all specific. We need to avoid duplicating content. Ensure we don't repeat same info. Let's structure:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
- ... ...
Qualifications
but we could merge Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include both Requirements and Qualifications if we have distinct content. But we might just use Requirements for all mandatory and preferred, and Qualifications for certifications? However to follow instruction, we could have Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred/certifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: We have Minimum Requirements (mandatory) and Preferred Requirements (optional). Could split: Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = preferred. Skills maybe not explicit; we could omit Skills if no specific skills listed. Benefits, Pay. Thus:Requirements
(mandatory)Qualifications
(preferred)Benefits
Pay
We should not include Schedule as not provided. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, Accommodations, Pay Transparency, etc. Remove those. Also remove duplicated lines like "Education and licensure requirements are based on program contract requirements and are outlined in job posting" maybe redundant; we can keep but it's not substantive? It's somewhat generic; but we could keep as it's part of requirements. However it's somewhat filler; but it's not placeholder like "N/A". It's a statement. Might keep. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract mandatory requirements list items precisely: - Master's degree in relevant field of study and 7+ years of relevant professional experience required, or equivalent combination of education and experience. - Current licensed therapist valid in the state of practice is required. - Education and licensure requirements are based on program contract requirements and are outlined in job posting. - Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science or a related field. - Certification from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). - Minimum of three (3) or more years of demonstrable accumulated experience as a Sport and/or Performance Dietitian with individual athletes and groups of athletes at the NCAA Collegiate Division I, Olympic, professional sports, USAF CRAFT, USAF SWTW, and/or SOF Operator levels in the respective accompanying settings. - Paid, full-time experience as a government civilian or contractor at non-SOF Combat Arms, fixed-wing fighter units, U.S. Army H2F, and Explosive Ordnance Disposal units may be counted toward minimum qualification requirements when performed as a directly embedded, on-site staff member with the respective military entity. - May be required to attend a face-to-face interview. - Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) specialty certification required. - CSSD certification may be deferred by the Contracting Officer Representative if all other qualifications are met; if deferred, the certification must be earned within six (6) months of employment. - After ten
