We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of duties and responsibilities. We need headings:

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Duties Description: description of role, responsibilities. - Minimum Qualifications Desired Qualifications: includes bullet points: Strong writing skills, ability to make complex ideas simple, knowledge of Sharepoint, email tools, basic design software, good at listening, working with different teams, advising top leaders. - Then there are qualification levels: Open Competitive: Public Information Specialist Trainee 1, NS (equivalent to SG-14): Four years of experience in public or governmental relations, and/or in writing or producing content for various media.

Possibly also About the role (intro paragraph). The intro: "The NYS Office for People With Developmental Disabilities is seeking a dynamic and experienced internal communications manager to join our team.

The ideal candidate will be a skilled storyteller with strong interpersonal skills and a passion for creating engaging experiences who will help the agency build a culture of collaboration and create experiences that engage, connect, and inspire our community of employees." That's about the role. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. We need to remove boilerplate: LinkedIn URL, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide sections: - About the role (intro paragraph) ->

    About the role

    ...

    - Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet list after "Duties include but are not limited to:"). - Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications desired qualifications? Could be "Requirements" heading. - Qualifications: maybe the specific experience/education substitution details? Could be "Qualifications". - Skills: maybe the desired qualifications list (strong writing skills, knowledge of Sharepoint, etc.) could be Skills. - Benefits: list of benefits (Paid Holidays and Leave, Health Care Coverage, Paid Parental Leave, Retirement Program, Professional Development, Savings programs, Life insurance, Disability insurance, Deferred Compensation Plan). - Pay: salary range. We need to avoid sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: The first paragraph before "Duties include but are not limited to:" is: "The NYS Office for People With Developmental Disabilities is seeking a dynamic and experienced internal communications manager to join our team. In this role, you will be working to help employees at New York's largest state agency stay current on the agency's vision, goals, projects, and internal updates by creating a strong strategic internal communications program. You will be responsible for developing and executing communication strategies that promote transparency, engagement, and alignment among employees. You will work across the agency's divisions to support the agency's mission and story. The ideal candidate will be a skilled storyteller with strong interpersonal skills and a passion for creating engaging experiences who will help the agency build a culture of collaboration and create experiences that engage, connect, and inspire our community of employees." We'll put that in About the role. Responsibilities: The list after "Duties include but are not limited to:" includes: - Create an internal communications plan. - Ensure staff are well-informed, motivated, and aligned with the agency's goals and values. - Create communications and newsletters in coordination with OPWDD's content creators - Update and guide the focus of the agency intranet. - Craft clear messages, company newsletters, memos, and updates for all staff. - Assist with talking points, and emails for company-wide distribution. - Guide employees through agency changes with clear and supportive messaging. - Align internal messaging with OPWDD's vision, mission, and culture. - Organize and facilitate employee engagement activities, agency meetings, workshops, and surveys. - Recommend tools, technology, and digital platforms to provide effective internal communication. - Establish benchmarks, set goals, and measure the success of internal communications initiatives. - Determine opportunities to grow and enhance employee recognition so employees feel “seen.” - Encourage and create well-informed employees who become credible brand ambassadors We'll put each as
  • . Requirements: Could be the "Minimum Qualifications Desired Qualifications:" bullet list: - Strong writing skills and the ability to make complex ideas simple and engaging. - Knowledge of Sharepoint, email tools, and basic design software. - Good at listening, working with different teams, and advising top leaders. But these are more like skills. However we have a Skills section maybe. Qualifications: The detailed experience/education substitution info: - Open Competitive: Public Information Specialist Trainee 1, NS (equivalent to SG-14): Four years of experience in public or governmental relations, and/or in writing or producing content for various media. Substitution: An associates degree in media, new media, English, communications, journalism, broadcasting, public relations, films, TV productions, or digital marketing can substitute for two years of specialized experience; and, a bachelor's in these fields can substitute for four years. - Public Information Specialist Trainee 2, NS (equivalent to SG-16): Five years of experience in public or governmental relations, and/or in writing or producing content for various media. - Public Information Specialist 1, SG-18: Six years of experience in public or governmental relations, and/or in writing or producing content for various media. Substitution: An associates degree in media, new media, English, communications, journalism, broadcasting, public relations, films, TV productions, or digital marketing can substitute for two years of specialized experience; a bachelor's in these fields can substitute for four years; and a master's degree in these fields can substitute for an additional year of specialized experience. - Transfer: Candidates must have one year of permanent competitive or 55-b/c status in the posted title and be eligible for lateral transfer; OR be eligible to transfer via Section 70.1, 70.4, or 52.6 of Civil Service Law. The transfer cannot be a second consecutive transfer resulting in an advancement of more than two salary grades. To determine if your current Civil Service title is eligible for transfer to this title, visit the Career Mobility GOT-IT website: https://careermobilityoffice.cs.ny.gov/cmo/gotit/index.cfm. - 55 B/C QUALIFICATIONS: Possess the minimum qualifications for this title as established by the Department of Civil Service and listed on the most recent exam announcement. Meet the applicable minimal mental and/or physical requirements for the job (with a reasonable accommodation, if necessary) Have a current Eligibility Letter from the NYS Department of Civil Service,www.cs.ny.gov/rp55/, and be able to provide it to the Human Resources Office upon request. - Additional Comments: This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS). HELPS Program titles may be filled via a non-competitive appointment. This means that you do not need to take an exam to qualify, but you do need to meet the minimum qualifications of the title. At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), employees hired under NY HELPS are expected to have their permanent non-competitive employment status converted to permanent competitive status. You will not have to take an exam to gain permanent competitive status. If you are currently a New York State employee serving in a permanent competitive qualifying title and eligible for a transfer via Section 70.1 of the Civil Service Law, you may be appointed to this title as a permanent competitive employee. Appointments may also be made at the Public Information Specialist Trainee 1 levels. Candidates hired at the entry-level title (Public Information Specialist Trainee 1) may be advanced to the full-performance level (Public Information Specialist 1) following satisfactory completion of two-years of service. We could combine these under Qualifications. Skills: The desired qualifications list (strong writing skills, knowledge of Sharepoint, etc.) could be Skills. But we already used those in Requirements maybe. Let's decide: - Requirements: Minimum qualifications (the bullet list of strong writing skills, knowledge of Sharepoint, etc.)? Actually those are desired qualifications, not minimum. The minimum qualifications are the experience/education details. So maybe: Requirements: the experience/education substitution details (the Open Competitive etc.)? But those are qualifications. Better: Use "Qualifications" for the experience/education details, and "Skills" for the desired qualifications list (strong writing skills, knowledge of Sharepoint, etc.). And maybe "Requirements" could be omitted or we could put the transfer/55b/c details under Requirements? But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think. We have substantive content for: - About the role (intro) - Responsibilities (duties list) - Qualifications (experience/education substitution, transfer, 55b/c, NY HELPS, etc.) - Skills (desired qualifications) - Benefits (list) - Pay (salary range) We can omit Requirements if not needed. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't require all; we include only those with real content. Thus we will have:

    About the role

    ...

    Qualifications

    We need to ensure we don't include Schedule (no info). Also avoid repeating job title. Now we need to extract each list content precisely. Let's copy the responsibilities list exactly as given, preserving punctuation. Responsibilities list: - Create an internal communications plan. - Ensure staff are well-informed, motivated, and aligned with the agency's goals and values. - Create communications and newsletters in coordination with OPWDD's content creators - Update and
