We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule (only if present). Also maybe "About Liquid I.V." and "About Our Team" but those are not required headings per spec: they said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should include only those headings that have real content. We need to extract content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. First part: "About Liquid I.V." generic description about nature of work etc. That's boilerplate? It's generic but maybe part of "About the role"? Actually it's generic statements about essential functions etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's repeated later. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The generic statements about nature of work etc may be considered boilerplate but they are part of job description. However they appear twice. Might be considered duplicated lines. We can keep one instance? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The generic statements about nature of work etc are not specific to the role; they are generic boilerplate. Might be considered boilerplate to remove. But they also appear in "About Liquid I.V." and later repeated. The spec says remove duplicated lines. So we can drop those generic paragraphs. Then "About Our Team" includes description of team, flexible environment, benefits, etc. That seems substantive about company culture and benefits. Could be part of Benefits? But we have a separate Benefits section later. The "About Our Team" includes: flexible and inclusive working environment, highly collaborative culture, generous benefits and perks, infinite supply of Liquid I.V. That's substantive but could be placed under Benefits or maybe a separate "About the company". However spec only allows certain headings; we could put that content under Benefits (since it mentions benefits) or maybe under About the role? But About the role should be about the role specifics. The "About Our Team" is more about company. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit it, we lose info. We could incorporate into Benefits section (since it mentions benefits) or maybe create a separate section like "About the company" but not allowed headings. Could we put it under Benefits? Benefits section already has list of benefits; we could add the cultural description as a paragraph before the list. Thus we can have:

About the role

with description of role from "About The Role" paragraph. Then

Responsibilities

with list of duties from "Functions and duties of this role include, but not limited to:" bullet list. Then

Requirements

maybe combine with Qualifications? The spec includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We have "Qualifications" section with bullet list. Could treat that as Qualifications. Requirements maybe could be things like "Ability to competently perform..." but that's boilerplate. Could skip Requirements if no specific content. But we need to include only when posting has real specific content. The qualifications are specific. So we can have

Qualifications

with list. We also have "What We Give" which is benefits. So

Benefits

with list. Pay: we have compensation band $106,100 - $154,700 annually. So

Pay

with that info. Schedule: we have "This role is (REMOTE) role with flexibility for industry events and travel to El Segundo, CA." That's schedule/location info. Could be Schedule section. So

Schedule

with that. We also have "Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship." That's eligibility; could be part of Requirements? Might be considered a requirement. Could include under Requirements. We need to avoid duplicating lines. Ensure we don't include the repeated generic paragraphs. Let's extract specifics. About The Role paragraph: "Liquid I.V. is looking for a Regional Sales Manager specializing in Special Markets, Military, and Foodservice retail to join the sales team. The Sales Manager will be an active member of the LIV Sales team reporting to the Team Leader, Special Markets. This role will be responsible for building and executing strategic sales plans for Special Markets, Military, and Food service accounts as well as the development of regional distributor and The primary area of focus will be growth across the areas of Special Markets, Military and Foodservice. Scope of role will cover both national and regional account reach.

The role will need to identify and execute display opportunities to drive sales volumes. This role will be responsible for forecasting and budgets in the assigned accounts. The ideal candidate is a “natural salesperson”, highly analytical, results driven, and eager to work in a growing, fast-paced company." We can clean up minor grammar: "development of regional distributor and" seems incomplete; maybe it's "development of regional distributor and ..." but we keep as is. Now Responsibilities list from "Functions and duties of this role include, but not limited to:" then bullet list: - Develop and execute strategic account plans to achieve sales targets and expand our customer base. - Present to and work directly with buyers to understand their business needs and objectives. - Manage trade spend budget for national and regional accounts. - Develop and manage relationships with brokers and distributors, leveraging their relationships with decision makers and working with their AE & Sales Managers to develop tactical in-market marketing growth plans. - Understand category-specific landscapes and trends to expand categories within the Foodservice accounts. - Identify and execute display opportunities to drive sales volumes. - Work with Team Lead and Ops team forecasting sales volumes.

Also "Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship." Could be part of Schedule or Requirements. Let's put under Schedule: mention remote, flexibility, travel, work authorization. Now we need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content. We'll have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Requirements if we have something like work authorization. But we already put that in Schedule. Could also have Requirements: maybe "Ability to competently perform all essential duties..." but that's boilerplate. We'll skip Requirements.
