We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes benefits description and salary range. So we can include Benefits and Pay sections. Schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule heading. We need sections: About the role (maybe from intro), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must ensure we don't include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. Intro: "Intralox L.L.C., the world leader in conveyor equipment solutions utilizing modular plastic conveyor belts, has a position available for a Proposal Manager – Equipment Integration at our Hanover, MD location. This is an onsite position - Hanover, MD office preferred; Harahan, LA may be considered. Intralox is a division of Laitram, L.L.C., with an extensive portfolio of innovative products and services that improve lives and optimize business worldwide each day. Intralox’s conveyance solutions enhance food safety, power e-commerce, and solve challenges for industries from automotive to industrial manufacturing to consumer goods. Together, our 3,000+ global employees are reliable problem solvers, continuously developing and directly delivering solutions that have driven our customers’ growth worldwide for more than 45 years.

We aim as a company to practice these principles every day, which is why we have been consistently recognized for innovation and workplace excellence. We listen objectively, think creatively, and deliver results. To learn more about our company culture, philosophy, and benefits, please visit our company page." That's about the company, could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (maybe summarizing role). But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include company overview under About the role? Might be better to have "About the role" containing description of role and company context. However the posting includes a separate "Responsibilities" section later. So we can put the introductory paragraph(s) under About the role. Then Responsibilities: we have a block starting with "Responsibilities Intralox L.L.C. is looking for a Proposal Manager..." and then bullet-like paragraphs. We need to convert to
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are in prose sentences; we can break them into list items each representing a duty. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So we need to decide: If there is a list, we use ul/li. The responsibilities section contains multiple sentences that could be turned into list items. We'll produce

      • each duty. Similarly Requirements: bullet list of requirements: Bachelor’s degree..., 3-5 years..., etc. We'll make ul/li. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications block. We'll make ul/li. Skills: The posting includes skills within requirements and qualifications; but we could extract skills like "Strong customer-facing communication skills", "Strong organizational and communication skills", etc. Might be better to have a Skills section pulling out skill statements. However we must not invent content; we can include skills that are explicitly mentioned. The posting includes: "Strong customer-facing communication skills and the ability to explain technical, commercial, and execution considerations clearly." "Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to help cross-functional teams stay aligned around shared goals, milestones, risks, and outcomes." "Structured and process-oriented, with the ability to operate in ambiguity, drive clarity, challenge assumptions when needed, and balance speed with quality of execution." "Ability and willingness to travel domestically up to 30%." Also maybe "Experience supporting contract review, contract management, commercial risk identification, or cross-functional project execution." That's more experience. We'll treat those as skills. But we need to decide if we should have a Skills section. The instruction says use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does mention skills; we can create a Skills section with those statements. Benefits: The posting includes: "Intralox’s benefit program is a major part of an employee’s total compensation from the company. Hired applicants may be eligible for benefits including health, dental, vision, and disability insurance, paid time off, 401K, flexible spending account, life and AD&D insurance, long term care, tuition reimbursement, and additional voluntary benefits." We'll put that in Benefits ul/li. Pay: Salary range: "$60,300 to $162,300". Also mention commission/incentives. We'll put that in Pay. We must not include EEO line at end: "EOE/M/F/Vet/Disabled". Remove. Also remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicate sentences? Not obvious. We must not include navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting didn't have explicit application instructions besides maybe "To learn more about our company culture, philosophy, and benefits, please visit our company page." That's not exactly application instruction but could be considered a link; but it's part of company description. We'll keep it? It's not boilerplate; it's a reference to company page. Might be okay. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading with "Proposal Manager – Equipment Integration". Good. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

        Responsibilities

        Salary range: $60,300 to $162,300. The position is eligible for commissions, discretionary incentives, or production incentives according to the terms of those plans.

        We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract details. About the role: combine the introductory paragraphs before "Responsibilities". Let's capture: "Intralox L.L.C., the world leader in conveyor equipment solutions utilizing modular plastic conveyor belts, has a position available for a Proposal Manager – Equipment Integration at our Hanover, MD location. This is an onsite position - Hanover, MD office preferred; Harahan, LA may be considered.

        (maybe long). That's fine. Now Responsibilities: The block after "Responsibilities Intralox L.L.C. is looking for a Proposal Manager to join the LMH Integration Group in a US-based role." Let's extract sentences: "This position supports strategic growth by coordinating the end-to-end proposal development and commercial execution process for complex material handling opportunities—from RFP/RFQ intake through proposal development, contract coordination, and post-order handoff.This role will help improve deal velocity, manage commercial and execution risk, and support high-quality project delivery.This role may include people-management responsibilities, including direct oversight of team members, based on evolving business needs, team structure, and organizational priorities.

However some sentences are long and
