We need sections: About the role (maybe combine Position Purpose and Key Details as prose). Could also have Responsibilities as list. But we have a lot of responsibilities; we could put them in

    • . The instructions: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose. So we need to decide what is list vs prose. The responsibilities are a list of duties; we can put them as

        • . The Position Purpose could be prose

          . Education/Experience could be list

          • . Preferred Qualifications list
            • . Benefits list
              • . Pay maybe prose

                (since it's a single line). Schedule not present. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Use

                for each. We must not repeat job title. Good. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft.
