We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About USA Triathlon Foundation" then "Position Overview", then "What You'll Do", then "What We're Looking For", then "Requirements", then "Relevant Experience", then "Preferred Experience", then "What Success Looks Like", then "Why This Role Matters", then "Working Conditions And Physical Requirements". Also there is mention of remote, travel, location preferences. No explicit Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections. So we should not create those. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO statement and disclaimer? The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the disclaimer maybe considered boilerplate; remove. We need to keep the rest. We need to decide which headings to use. The posting has sections: About USA Triathlon Foundation, Position Overview, What You'll Do, What We're Looking For, Requirements, Relevant Experience, Preferred Experience, What Success Looks Like, Why This Role Matters, Working Conditions And Physical Requirements. We should map these to headings: maybe "About the role"? But they said use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use other headings as appropriate? Likely we should use those exact headings if content matches. However we have content like "About USA Triathlon Foundation" which is about the organization, not the role. Could map to "About the role"? Might be okay. But they said "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings when applicable. But we can also use other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests we should use those for typical sections. However we have many sections; we could map them to these headings: About the role (maybe combine About USA Triathlon Foundation and Position Overview), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (What We're Looking For + Requirements), Qualifications (maybe Relevant Experience + Preferred Experience), Skills (maybe not present), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (maybe Working Conditions? but schedule not given). However they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. So we should not create those sections if not present. Thus we should only include sections where there is real specific content. So we need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have content about the organization and role overview; we could put under

    About the role

    . Then responsibilities under

    Responsibilities

    . Then requirements under

    Requirements

    . Then qualifications under

    Qualifications

    . Then maybe "What Success Looks Like" could be under

    Qualifications

    or separate? Could be under

    Qualifications

    as well. But we might also have a section for "Why This Role Matters" maybe under

    About the role

    or separate? Could be under

    About the role

    . Working conditions could be under

    Working Conditions

    but not in the list; but we could still use

    Working Conditions

    as it's a heading present. The instruction didn't forbid other headings; it just gave examples. So we can keep original headings as

    . Safer: keep the original headings as

    tags. That satisfies "use

    for section headings". We'll not add extra headings not present. Thus we will output:

    About USA Triathlon Foundation

    with paragraph(s) containing that content. Then

    Position Overview

    with paragraphs. Then

    What You'll Do

    with maybe subheadings? The content includes bullet-like paragraphs; we can keep as paragraphs or convert to
    • for lists. The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify lists. In "What You'll Do", there are sections: Portfolio and Gift Strategy, Partnership with the Chief Development Officer, Coordination Across the Frontline Team, Campaign and Mission Engagement. Each has multiple sentences; could be considered a list of responsibilities. We could wrap each bullet as
      • . But we need to decide if we treat each of those as list items. Probably yes: they are duties. So we can create a
          with each duty as
        • . Inside each
        • we can have paragraphs. Similarly "What We're Looking For" is a paragraph; not a list. "Requirements" includes "Core Qualifications" with bullet-like sentences; we can make a list. "Relevant Experience" and "Preferred Experience" are also lists. "What Success Looks Like" includes bullet-like sentences; we can list. "Why This Role Matters" is paragraph. "Working Conditions And Physical Requirements" includes sentences; could be list. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement and disclaimer. Also maybe remove duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates. We must not include application instructions; none present. We must not repeat job title as heading; we aren't. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's extract content. First, "About USA Triathlon Foundation" paragraph: "The USA Triathlon Foundation supports grants and programs that advance three philanthropic priorities: encouraging youth participation, inspiring pathways to access and inclusion, and igniting Olympic and Paralympic dreams. With the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, USA Triathlon and the USA Triathlon Foundation are entering an extraordinary period of opportunity and visibility for the sport. The Foundation launched the Elevate28 Campaign in 2026, a $28 million fundraising initiative built to elevate the future of triathlon in the United States and strengthen the pipeline of development and elite athletes, programs, and resources leading into and beyond LA28." We'll put that in

          . Next, "Position Overview": "The Foundation's frontline fundraising team consists of three roles reporting to the Chief Development Officer: the Principal Gift Officer, the Director of Major Gifts, and the Senior Manager, Annual Leadership Giving. Together, this team covers the full continuum of individual giving, from first gifts through transformational commitments. The Principal Gift Officer works in close partnership with the Chief Development Officer on the Foundation's largest and most complex prospects and gifts, contributing to how the Foundation approaches its highest-capacity relationships alongside the CDO. The Foundation is in an early, foundational chapter: it is building a mature major and principal gift pipeline largely from scratch. The Principal Gift Officer will be central to that build, establishing the portfolio structure, prospect strategy, and moves-management discipline that the program will run on for years to come, not simply managing gifts within an already-mature system. The Principal Gift Officer will manage a clearly defined portfolio of approximately 40–50 high-capacity individuals, families, foundations, and organizations. While the portfolio spans prospects capable of six-figure commitments, the role's core focus and expectation is identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and closing gifts in the seven-figure and above range, up to $5 million+. This is a remote position open to candidates nationwide, with a preference for the Northeast given the region's proximity to a greater concentration of the Foundation's donor prospects. The role involves approximately 40% travel to markets across the country for donor engagement, events, and competitions. The Foundation's development team currently totals five people: three frontline fundraisers (the Principal Gift Officer, the Director of Major Gifts, and the Senior Manager, Annual Leadership Giving) and two additional team members supporting operations, strategy, and stewardship. The Principal Gift Officer is a frontline, individual-contributor role and does not manage staff, but works closely and collaboratively with the frontline fundraising staff to ensure a seamless donor pathway. The Foundation is roughly $5 million into its $28 million Elevate28 goal and has built a solid major-gift pipeline over the past year. As the Foundation moves closer to the LA28 Games, the focus now shifts to a more strategic and thoughtful approach to larger, principal level gift asks, building relationships from scratch around triathlon affinity rather than inheriting an already developed portfolio." We'll put that in

          maybe multiple paragraphs but we can keep as one. Next, "What You'll Do". We'll create a

            with each major duty as
          • . Duty 1: Portfolio and Gift Strategy Text: "Manage a clearly defined portfolio of 40–50 high-capacity prospects and donors, with individualized strategies calibrated to move relationships from six-figure entry gifts toward seven-figure and larger commitments.Help build the Foundation's principal gift infrastructure from the ground up: portfolio segmentation, moves management, qualification criteria, and prospect pipeline stages appropriate to a program still maturing.Lead the development of customized $1 million–$5 million+ proposals, including cases for support, naming opportunities, multi year commitments, endowed funds, and other creative gift structures, while also closing well structured six-figure gifts that build toward future principal-level commitments." Note there are missing spaces after periods; we keep as is. Duty 2: Partnership with the Chief Development Officer "Work in close, collaborative partnership with the CDO on the Foundation's largest and most complex prospects, helping shape solicitation strategy, prioritizing high- capacity prospects, and joining key donor visits and asks together.Share observations and input with the CDO on donor readiness, campaign priorities, and prospect movement across the portfolio." Duty 3: Coordination Across the Frontline Team "Work hand in glove with the Director of Major Gifts and Senior Manager, Annual Leadership Giving to ensure a coordinated donor pathway, from first gift through principal-level giving, with clear ownership and no duplicated outreach.Determine, in partnership with frontline colleagues, when a prospect should shift into a principal-gift strategy versus remain with a frontline officer, and when a joint approach is most effective.Support frontline fundraisers in raising donor aspirations and preparing for larger, more complex solicitations." Duty 4: Campaign and Mission Engagement "Play a central role in the $28 million Elevate28 Campaign, advancing principal-gift opportunities tied to LA28 Games preparation, athlete development, high- performance, and youth and inclusion programs.Build authentic relationships with high-net-worth individuals, families, foundations, and corporations aligned with the Foundation's priorities.Work closely with Olympic and Paralympic athletes, coaches, alumni, Board of Trustees Members, and organizational leadership to create meaningful, story-driven donor engagement.Represent the Foundation with professionalism, a positive attitude, and discretion in high-level donor interactions, and travel as needed, including evenings and weekends, for donor engagement, events, and competitions." We'll put each as
          • . Next, "What We're Looking For": Paragraph: "An accomplished, entrepreneurial fundraiser who has personally closed seven-figure and larger gifts, and who is energized by the challenge of building a principal-gift program rather than simply operating within an established one. This person understands that transformational fundraising is a team sport: they are equally comfortable leading a complex, multi-million-dollar solicitation themselves and coaching a frontline colleague through one of their own." We'll put in

            . Next, "Requirements". It has "Core Qualifications
