We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings for sections present: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Only include sections if posting has real specific content. The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, required abilities, etc. No explicit benefits, pay, schedule. So we should not include those sections. We'll include About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine). The posting has "The Ideal Candidate Will Have The Following Qualifications Required:" then list. Also earlier mentions "Availability to tour internationally full-time..." etc. So we can have sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (list of duties), Qualifications (list). Possibly Skills separate? The qualifications list includes skills like Microsoft Office, CAD, leadership, etc. Could combine. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which are appropriate. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Possibly Skills if distinct. But qualifications list includes skills; we could split into Requirements (availability, diploma, experience) and Skills (technical skills). However we must not create sections with filler. We'll see if we can split meaningfully.
Let's extract:
Intro: "Production Stage Manager - Arena Touring Show Technical Management This is a full-time, internationally touring role. The successful candidate will work and travel across multiple countries with an international touring company where English is the working language of the production — fluency in English is required to perform the duties of this role."
Then bullet list starting with "* We are seeking an experienced and proactive Production Stage Manager..." That's more about role.
Then many responsibilities sentences.
Then "The Ideal Candidate Will Have The Following Qualifications Required:" then list.
Thus we can have:
