We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe Position Summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading. Use
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Keep all substantive info.
We need to decide sections: About the role (Position Summary). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Requirements (Required Qualifications). Skills (Key Competencies). Benefits (Benefits). Pay (Compensation). Schedule (Work Details). Also maybe Education Requirements separate? Could be part of Requirements.
We must not include sections with placeholder text. All have content.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include details like hourly rate $70-80, benefits list, hybrid schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Project Manager – IT Strategy & Roadmap". Use sections.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Also remove "Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities" maybe part of Skills? Actually there is a line at top: "Employment Type Full time Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities Public sector or large-scale infrastructure experience. - Familiarity with TOGAF ...". That seems like a list of knowledge, skills, abilities. We'll incorporate into Skills or Requirements.
We need to parse the content.
Let's extract:
- Employment Type Full time (maybe not needed as heading; could be in Schedule? but we have schedule separate. Could include in a short paragraph under Work Details? Might be considered metadata; we can drop or put in a short p. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include Employment Type in a short p maybe under a generic "Overview"? But we have no heading for overview. Could add a
before sections? The instruction says output only HTML fragment; we can include a
for minor metadata. Probably better to include a short p at start: "
Employment Type: Full time
". That is minor metadata.
Now sections:
About the role: Position Summary paragraph.
Responsibilities: list of responsibilities (multiple bullet points). The posting has many responsibilities grouped under headings: IT Strategy and Roadmap Governance, Architecture Alignment and Governance, Network and Architecture Documentation, Strategic Plan Execution and Delivery Tracking, Tactical Decision Alignment, Project and Portfolio Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Communication, Governance and Continuous Improvement, IT Steering Committee Governance and Administration. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can combine into a single with each bullet being a responsibility statement. Could also keep subheadings? But we should not create extra headings unless needed. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have one Responsibilities section with a containing each responsibility as - . We'll need to capture each bullet.
