We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summary away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay range: $156,000 - $240,800 depending on experience and skill set; Annual bonus target of 10%; Benefits overview link; Salary ranges may be subject to geographic differentials. So we can include Pay and Benefits sections.
Schedule: Travel estimate is 10% Internal projects when applicable. That's schedule info (travel). So we can include Schedule section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe qualifications). Qualifications (maybe education/experience). Skills (technical skills). Benefits. Pay. Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details as given, but we can condense into bullet lists but must preserve meaning. Not allowed to invent or summarize away detail: we can paraphrase but must keep substance. Probably okay to rephrase but keep meaning.
We need to remove duplicated lines. The posting has many repeated phrases. We'll extract unique responsibilities.
Let's parse.
First paragraph: "The AWS Principal Consultant engages with clients and internal teams to provide design and engineering activities for AWS projects and solutions. This role is expected to be a thought leader in the areas of technical solutions provided for our customer. The Principal Consultant is also responsible for working with Management to align delivery teams on best practices and upskilling architecture and engineering resources."

Then AI-fluent organization statements etc. Those are more about culture; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section but not required. We could include in About the role.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. At end there is CDW is an equal opportunity employer... We'll drop that.
Also remove "About Us" section? It's substantive but not required headings; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate About CDW section but not in prescribed headings. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should prefer those. Probably we should stick to those headings only. So we can put About the role (summary), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe education/experience), Qualifications (maybe leadership etc), Skills (technical), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each piece of info somewhere. We can distribute.
Let's craft:

About the role
The AWS Principal Consultant engages with clients and internal teams to provide design and engineering activities for AWS projects and solutions, acts as a thought leader on technical solutions, works with management to align delivery teams on best practices and upskill architecture and engineering resources, and supports CDW’s AI‑fluent organization goals.
That captures some but we might lose some details like "thought leader in the areas of technical solutions provided for our customer." Already included. Also "working with Management to align delivery teams on best practices and upskilling architecture and engineering resources." Included. Also "AI‑fluent organization" we added. Now Responsibilities: list from "What You Will Do". We'll create- items.
We need to ensure we don't lose any. Let's list them:
- Professional services delivery for CDW customers globally on major Public Cloud platforms

Note: Some items are about skills (proficiency, deep understanding). Those could go under Skills section. But we can keep them under Responsibilities as they are part of what you will do. However to avoid duplication, we might separate.
But the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple lists. We need to decide sections: - About the role (summary) - Responsibilities (duties) - Requirements (education/experience) - Qualifications (leadership, etc) - Skills (technical) - Benefits - Pay - Schedule We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has real content. Let's extract: Requirements: education/experience: Bachelor's Degree and 7+ years of IT Infrastructure experience, including at least 3 years in large enterprise consulting. Or, 10+ years of IT Infrastructure experience, including at least 3 years in large enterprise consulting. Also maybe "A valid U.S. driver’s license is required." Could be requirement. Qualifications: leadership, subject matter expert, ability to develop IT services offerings, maintain client relationships
