Note: Some of these are more like skills; but we can keep them under Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we can extract specific skill items: Communication Skills, Technical Aptitude, Sales Drive, Pipeline Development, etc. But we already have them in Qualifications; maybe we can still have Skills section summarizing those. However instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? But they asked to use headings for those categories. We could have Qualifications (including both basic and preferred) and Skills separate if we have distinct content. But we risk thin sections.
We could make:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (basic)
- Qualifications (preferred)
- Benefits
- Pay
Schedule maybe not needed because we have full-time and travel; but we could include Schedule heading with Full-time and travel note.
But we already have travel in Qualifications; maybe we can move travel to Schedule.
Let's decide: We'll include Schedule: Full-time position; overnight domestic travel up to 75% required.
Pay: base salary range.
Benefits: list of benefits.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title. We'll not include it.
We'll include location maybe in a short p under About the role? Could add a p: "Location: Remote – West Region". But location is meta; we can include as a short p.
Now produce HTML fragment.

We need to ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Check that we preserved all substantive info: About the role paragraph includes location? We didn't include location explicitly; we could add a short p after About the role: "Location: Remote – West Region". But location is not a heading; we can include as a p. We also need to include "This is a remote role based within the Southeast region, near a major US airport" from Preferred Qualifications; we included that as a bullet? Actually we omitted that bullet. We should include it under Qualifications maybe. Let's add bullet: "This is a remote role based within the Southeast region, near a major US airport". Also note earlier we said West region; but we keep as given
