Then "About Harris": paragraph about company. We need sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (What Your Impact Will Be), Requirements (What We Are Looking For?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (maybe specific skills like Excel, AI, communication), Benefits (What We Can Offer), Pay (Salary 70K-77K), Schedule (maybe remote, travel 10%, timezone preference). We must only include sections that have real specific content. Let's see. - About the role: we have introductory paragraph describing role, remote, travel, passport, EST preference. That's substantive. So include About the role. - Responsibilities: "What Your Impact Will Be" includes many responsibilities. So include Responsibilities. - Requirements: "What We Are Looking For" includes experience, education, etc. Could be Requirements. Also Qualifications maybe overlapping. But we need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine some. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include those that have content. Let's map: About the role: intro paragraph. Responsibilities: bullet list from "What Your Impact Will Be". Requirements: maybe experience and education (1-3+ years experience, Bachelor's degree preferred). Could be Requirements. Qualifications: maybe other qualifications like self-motivated, attention to detail, organizational skills, communication, analytical ability, proficiency in Office, leverages AI, professionalism, ability to work remotely. Could be Qualifications. Skills: maybe specific skills like Excel, PowerPoint, AI tools, data analysis, research, etc. But we might have overlap. To avoid thin sections, maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one? But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. If we think both have content, we can include both. But we must avoid filler. Let's see content for Skills: "Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint", "Leverages AI for research and analysis". Those are skills. Also maybe "Excellent attention to detail, ability to manage multiple priorities, meet tight deadlines" could be skills but also qualifications. We'll decide. Qualifications: "Self-motivated individual with an ability to perform independently in a fast-paced environment", "Excellent organizational skills, written and verbal communication skills, and analytical ability", "High degree of professionalism and integrity", "Ability to work remotely in the U.S. or Canada". Those are qualifications. Thus we can have both. Benefits: "What We Can Offer": vacation, benefits, stock ownership, RRSP/401k matching, lifestyle rewards, remote work and more. Pay: Salary 70K - 77K. Schedule: remote role, travel approx 10%, preference for EST timezone, need passport for travel between USA and Canada. That's schedule info. Thus we can include all sections. Now we need to output HTML fragment: use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none). Remove boilerplate etc. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. We must be careful to not lose any detail. Let's extract each piece. About the role paragraph: "Harris is seeking a Research Analyst who will play a critical role in supporting our M&A process. You will be successful in this role if you have a passion for research, analysis, investments, data, and software, and you love to continuously learn. We are looking for someone who wants to grow their career for the long term in this role, as you will become a vital component of our current and future investment strategy.

Candidates must hold a current, valid passport and be legally eligible to travel between USA and Canada.

We'll split. We need to decide which go to Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. Requirements likely: experience, education. Maybe also ability to work remotely? But that's more qualification. Let's assign: Requirements: - 1-3+ years of experience in finance, accounting, software, or data analysis - Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, or Economics (BBA/ BCom etc.) preferred Qualifications: - Self-motivated individual with an ability to perform independently in a fast-paced environment - Excellent attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines - Excellent organizational skills, written and verbal communication skills, and analytical ability - High degree of professionalism and integrity - Ability to work remotely in the U.S. or Canada Skills: - Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint - Leverages AI for research and analysis But also "Excellent organizational skills, written and verbal communication skills, and analytical ability" could be skill but we placed in Qualifications.

Could be included as "About the company" but not in the list of headings. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's no "About the company". Should we include it? The instruction says: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exhaustive? It says "use
