We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the job description. Content: - Title: Scientific Services Veterinarian (but we don't output heading for title) - Location: Nashville/ Franklin, TN - Workstyle: Hybrid (Will be required to report to the Franklin, TN office) Must be willing and able to travel... etc. - Travel details: Must be willing and able to travel to fulfill responsibilities.

Join a purpose driven company, where we’re striving to build the world we want tomorrow, today. Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University. An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe the description after title). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe combine qualifications and skills). Qualifications (education, experience). Skills (communication, Microsoft Office, self-motivated). Benefits (what you can expect from Mars). Pay (maybe mention industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus - that is compensation). Schedule (travel expectations: hybrid, travel 50-75%, overnight 3+ nights per week, etc.) We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract: About the role: The description of the role (the paragraph after location and before "What are we looking for?"). Responsibilities: list under "What will be your responsibilities?" (multiple bullet points). Requirements: maybe combine education and experience? Could be "Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (or VMD) with an active license in at least one state. Minimum of 3 years’ experience as a veterinary practitioner, including internships, co-ops, and/or residency, with a preference for small or companion animal practice." Qualifications: maybe the same as requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Could separate: Qualifications = education + experience; Skills = communication, Microsoft Office, self-motivated, travel willingness, etc. However travel willingness could be schedule. Better: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education+experience), Skills (communication, Microsoft Office, self-motivated), Benefits (Mars expectations), Pay (industry competitive salary and benefits package including company bonus), Schedule (travel expectations: hybrid, travel 50-75%, overnight 3+ nights per week, ability to work from home, etc.) We must not include sections that are not present. Pay: we have "An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus." That's specific enough for Pay. Schedule: we have travel expectations: Hybrid, required to report to Franklin office, travel 50-75% including nights and weekends, overnight 3+ nights each week, ability to work from home effectively when not traveling. Also mention eligibility for company vehicle, travel may include airline, train, etc. That is schedule/travel. We must not include boilerplate like visa sponsorship, relocation benefits (these are minor metadata; we can fold into short p or drop). The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph for location, workstyle, travel, visa, relocation etc. But we need to decide where to put them. Could be part of About the role or a separate meta paragraph. Probably include a short

after the heading About the role? Actually About the role should contain the role description; we can also include location and workstyle in a short paragraph before the responsibilities. But we must not repeat the job title as heading. So we can start with a

containing location and workstyle details. Let's structure:

But note that the last bullet includes salary and benefits; we might want to separate Pay. However the instruction says include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state "An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus." That's compensation. So we could make a Pay section with that bullet, and Benefits section with the other three bullets (work with associates, purpose driven company, learning development). However the benefits bullet also includes salary; but we can split. Let's do: Pay:
