We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodations, visa, agency resumes, etc. Must preserve substantive info: mission statement, role statement, responsibilities, skills, basic background requirements, KPI objectives (short term, midterm, longer term). Also maybe "High Level Mission Statement", "High Level Statement of the Role", "High Level Roles & Responsibilities", "Skills to Perform This Role", "Program Manager Position Overview", "Quick Summary", "Basic Background Requirements:", "Key Performance Objectives". We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can only use those headings. We need to decide which content fits which heading.
- About the role: could include mission statement, role statement, position overview, quick summary.
- Responsibilities: list of duties from "High Level Roles & Responsibilities".
- Requirements: maybe basic background requirements (interview, drug test, background check) and maybe also "Basic Background Requirements:".
- Qualifications: maybe skills? But we have Skills heading separate. Could put technical/interpersonal/leadership/communication/business skills under Skills.
- Requirements could also include "Basic Background Requirements:" and maybe "Key Performance Objectives"? But those are more like expectations; could be under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Probably Requirements.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. Must ensure each heading has real content.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodations, visa, agency resumes, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content:
Mission Statement: "To successfully manage programs to profitability from early design or manufacturing stages to end of life stages by coordinating team activities and deliverables."

Program Manager Position Overview: same as mission statement? It repeats: "To successfully manage programs to profitability from early design or manufacturing stages to end of life stages by coordinating team activities and deliverables."
Quick Summary: same as role statement? "A program manager leads efforts to develop and execute project plans to support NPI product launch, sustain production through the continuous improvement of cost, quality, delivery, service and end-of-life services/support."
Basic Background Requirements:
- Successfully Interview with relevant hiring team
- Successfully pass pre-employment drug test and background check
Key Performance Objectives:
Short Term: (0 to 6 months)
- Learn about the customers within the CFT and the interactions that are required to conduct business.
- Facilitate PPV and Excess issues to resolution.
- Serve as the point of contact for all customer issues that may arise.
- Conduct internal and external PBR’s
Midterm: (6 to 18 months)
- Obtain a minimum of a Green Belt Certification in the plant.
Longer Term: (>18 months)
- Continue to grow in the position by picking up new customer wins.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodations, etc.
Now map to headings:
About the role: could combine mission statement, role statement, position overview, quick summary (though they are repetitive). We'll include unique content: mission statement and role statement (or overview). We'll avoid duplication.
Responsibilities: list of duties from High Level Roles & Responsibilities.
Requirements: Basic Background Requirements (interview, drug test, background check). Could also include maybe "Key Performance Objectives"? But those are objectives, not requirements. Could put under Requirements as expectations? Might be better to put under Requirements as "Key Performance Objectives". However the heading "Requirements" is for prerequisites; but we can include both basic background and performance objectives as they are requirements for success. The instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we can put requirements list under Requirements heading.
Skills: list of skills (interpersonal, technical, communication, leadership, business). We'll format as maybe nested lists? But spec says use
- for any list. Could do top-level ul with each skill category as li containing maybe a sub-ul? Might be okay but we need to keep simple. Could just list each skill bullet as li, ignoring categories. But we might lose categorization. However we can keep categories as headings inside? Not allowed; only headings allowed are the specified ones. So we cannot add extra headings. So we need to flatten skills into a list of items. That's okay; we preserve all substantive information (each skill). We'll list each bullet.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so we omit those sections.
