Retail Manager
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Keep all substantive info.
We need sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe includes Requirements, Skills, etc). Benefits, Pay, Schedule if present. The posting includes Work Schedule and Wage Range and Benefits. So we need sections: Pay (Wage Range), Schedule (Work Schedule), Benefits.
We need to ensure we only include sections when there is real specific content. All have content.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list responsibilities as bullet points under Responsibilities. The responsibilities are broken into subheadings: Staff Supervision & Support, Retail Operations & Merchandising, Community Engagement & Program Support, Cash Handling & Financial Reporting, Volunteer Coordination, Collaboration & Communication. We can either keep those as subheadings? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid using other headings? It says use for section headings (list). Likely they want only those specific headings. So we should not create additional headings like Staff Supervision & Support. Instead we should incorporate those duties under Responsibilities as bullet points, preserving the content. So we need to extract each duty bullet.
Similarly Qualifications: we have Job Requirements (including Physical Requirements & Working Conditions, Non-Physical Requirements: Education, Experience, Special Skills, Licensure, Registration, Certification, Employment Is Conditional Upon...). Also there is a line "Perform other duties as assigned" under Qualifications? Actually there is a "Qualifications Perform other duties as assigned Job Requirements". That seems weird. We'll treat "Perform other duties as assigned" as part of Qualifications? Probably it's a responsibility. But we can include it under Qualifications as a bullet? However it's generic; but it's present. We'll keep it.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:

Qualifications
We need to include Education, Experience, Special Skills, Licensure, Registration, Certification, Employment Is Conditional Upon..., Physical Requirements & Working Conditions maybe as part of Qualifications? The instruction includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as possible headings. We could split into Requirements (Physical Requirements & Working Conditions, Education, Experience) and Skills (Special Skills). But we have limited headings; we can use Qualifications to encompass all. However we might also include a Skills section. But we need to avoid thin sections. Better to have Qualifications covering education, experience, skills, licensure, etc. And maybe a separate Requirements for physical requirements? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could use Requirements for physical requirements and working conditions, Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for special skills, Licensure etc. But we need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Let's decide:
- Requirements: Physical Requirements & Working Conditions (maybe also Employment Is Conditional Upon...). That's substantive.

We must ensure no duplicate lines. Also we removed boilerplate like EEO etc.
Check that we preserved all substantive info: The summary, responsibilities (all bullet points), qualifications (education, experience), skills (leadership etc), licensure, benefits, pay, schedule. Also we included physical requirements and employment conditional. Did we miss any? Let's scan original:
Summary Position Summary: ... (we captured).

Any disabled applicant who does not meet one or more of the requirements, but who can perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodations, shall be deemed to meet these requirements." That's a preamble; we didn't include that preamble but it's not substantive detail; it's boilerplate. We can drop it.
Then "Physical Requirements & Working Conditions" we captured.
