We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, legal, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, etc. Remove application instructions (none). Remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities (Duties and Essential Job Functions), Requirements/Qualifications (Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills, Work Experience/Education, Working Conditions), Skills (maybe part of qualifications), Benefits (benefit programs), Pay (not present), Schedule (not present). Since no explicit pay or schedule, we should not include those sections.
We need to decide which headings to use: "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate ones.
We have General Summary: could be "About the role". Duties: "Responsibilities". Job Qualifications Knowledge and Skills: could be "Qualifications" or "Skills". Work Experience/Education and Working Conditions: could be "Requirements". Benefits: "Benefits". We should not repeat job title as heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.

We need to format as HTML fragment only.

The company overview is substantive; we could incorporate into "About the role" or maybe not needed. But we must preserve all substantive info; we could add a paragraph under "About the role" that includes company overview. However that might mix. Better to add a separate section "About the company". Since it's not in the examples but it's okay as e.g. implies not exhaustive. I'll include it.
But we need to avoid duplication: The "About Us" section includes mission, values, career opportunities, etc. Also "Company Overview" includes history and what they offer. We'll combine.
