We need to extract substantive info: description of role, responsibilities, etc. The "Primary Responsibilities" list follows.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe basic qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe from qualifications?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Pay Range: $73,450.00 - $132,775.00. Also note "Pay And Benefits" section: "Employment benefits include competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement." So we can include Benefits section with those items.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should NOT include Schedule section.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to include Pay section with the range.
We need to include Benefits section with list.
We need to include About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing role and context.

But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:

- Responsibilities: - list of duties.
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications (list items). Could be bullet list.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (list).

We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: "Original Posting September 17, 2026", "For U.S. Positions: While subject to change...", "About Leidos", "Securing Your Data", "Commitment to Non-Discrimination". Also remove "If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling..." etc. Also remove "To explore and learn more, click here!" etc. Also remove "Are you ready to make an impact? Share your resume with us today!" (that's application instruction). Also remove "Primary Responsibilities" heading? We'll replace with our own
Responsibilities
. The content under that heading we keep.
We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract substantive info:
About the role: from first paragraphs: "Leidos’ Defense Sensor’s Persistent Surveillance Portfolio is seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Program Coordinator to join our team supporting the Persistent Surveillance Portfolio. In this role, you will be responsible for providing comprehensive program management support to ensure the program runs smoothly and efficiently. You will work closely with program managers, engineers, government contracting officers, and play a key role in supporting the procurement process." Also description of Leidos Defense Systems Sector: "Leidos Defense Systems Sector provides a diverse portfolio of systems, solutions, and services covering land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace for customers worldwide. Solutions for Defense include enterprise and mission IT, large-scale intelligence systems, command and control, geospatial and data analytics, cybersecurity, logistics, training, and intelligence analysis and operations support. Our team is solving the world’s toughest security challenges for customers with “can’t fail” missions." This is substantive about the team and mission. Could be part of About the role.
We'll combine into a paragraph.
Responsibilities list:
- Coordinate and manage program schedule, budget, communication, and documentation.
- Maintain program calendars, deadlines, and milestones.
- Assist with the procurement process, including researching potential vendors, preparing requisitions, and managing purchase orders.
- Assist with travel arrangements and logistics for program meetings and conferences.
- Manage program databases and ensure accurate data entry.
- Prepare presentations and reports as needed.
- Perform other administrative duties as assigned.
Requirements (Basic Qualifications):
- BA degree from an accredited institution (preferred in Business Administration, Public Administration or a related field) plus 4 – 8 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 2 – 6 years of prior relevant experience.
- 3+ years of experience in program administration, preferably within a government contracting environment.
- Must be a US Citizen, possess and maintain an active DoD Secret Security Clearance.
- Proven experience supporting complex programs and projects.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications):
- Experience with Microsoft Project and creating/managing Integrated Master Schedules (IMSs).
- Experience with procurement processes, including vendor research, requisition preparation, and purchase order management.
Skills: Could be derived from the above but we might not need separate Skills if we already covered in Requirements. However the instruction says to use sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting does mention skills like organizational, time management, communication, interpersonal, MS Office proficiency. Those are in Requirements. Could we create a Skills section separate? Might be redundant but allowed if we have content. However we must not repeat same content verbatim? Not prohibited but better to avoid duplication. We could extract skills not already captured: maybe "Experience with Microsoft Project and creating/managing Integrated Master Schedules (IMSs)" is a skill, but that's in Preferred Qualifications. Could still be under Skills. But we already have Qualifications section for preferred qualifications. Might be okay to have Skills separate for things like "Excellent organizational and time management skills. Strong communication and interpersonal skills. Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite." However those are also in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could treat Requirements as education/experience/clearance, and Skills as the soft skills and technical proficiency. Let's split:
Requirements: education, experience, citizenship, clearance.
Skills: organizational, time management, communication, interpersonal, MS Office proficiency, experience with MS Project/IMS, procurement experience.
But the posting lists "Proven experience supporting complex programs and projects." That's more experience.
Let's decide:
- Requirements (Basic Qualifications): education, years experience, US Citizenship, DoD Secret clearance.
- Skills: Proven experience supporting complex programs and projects; Excellent organizational and time management skills; Strong communication and interpersonal skills; Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite; Experience with Microsoft Project and creating/managing Integrated Master Schedules (IMSs); Experience with procurement processes, including vendor research, requisition preparation, and purchase order management.
But note that procurement experience also appears in Preferred Qualifications. Might be okay.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info: we must not lose any. Let's list all substantive bits from the posting:
From description:
- Leidos Defense Sensor’s Persistent Surveillance Portfolio seeking Program Coordinator.
- Responsible for comprehensive program management support to ensure program runs smoothly and efficiently.
- Work closely with program managers, engineers, government contracting officers, play key role in supporting procurement process.
- Leidos Defense Systems Sector provides diverse portfolio covering land, sea, air, space, cyberspace.

From Primary Responsibilities list (7 items).
From Basic Qualifications (list items as above).
From Preferred Qualifications (2 items).
From Pay And Benefits: "Employment benefits include competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement."
From Pay Range: $73,450.00 - $132,775.00.
Also note: "Pay And Benefits Pay and benefits are fundamental to any career decision. That's why we craft compensation packages that reflect the importance of the work we do for our customers." That's fluff; we can keep the benefits list.
We should not include "More details are available at www.leidos.com/careers/pay-benefits." (that's a link, maybe considered boilerplate? It's a reference but could be considered navigation? Probably safe to drop as it's a link to more info; but it's not substantive about the job itself. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is a link to more details; could be considered navigation. Safer to drop.
Also "Pay Range Pay Range $73,450.00 - $132,775.00 The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline onlyand not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law." We need to keep the pay range but can drop the explanatory sentence? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The explanatory sentence is substantive? It's about the pay range being a guideline, not a guarantee. That is substantive info about the pay range. We should keep it. However we can condense? The instruction says do NOT summarize away detail. So we need to keep that sentence essentially. But we can keep it as a paragraph.
Similarly for Benefits: "Pay and benefits are fundamental to any career decision. That's why we craft compensation packages that reflect the importance of the work we do for our customers." That's fluff but maybe considered substantive? It's generic. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not specific to the job. Might be considered navigation/legal? Probably safe to drop, but we need to keep the list of benefits.
We'll keep the benefits list as a .
Now, we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
