We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like application instructions, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key parts:
- Intro: "Work Tax Season on Your Terms WNA CPAs is seeking an experienced tax professional to join our team for the upcoming tax season in a manager-level review and client service role. Seasonal managers at WNA carry real client relationships, review complex returns, and provide technical guidance to our staff. You will be trusted with meaningful work from day one, and compensated for every hour you put in. If you want the challenge and variety of tax work without a year-round commitment, or you are exploring a firm before making a permanent move, this may be the opportunity for you."
- "Why Professionals Choose WNA" bullet list: Flexible, self-managed scheduling; Hybrid or fully remote; Significant autonomy; Unique hourly compensation model; Clearly defined season; Direct access to firm leadership; Opportunities for year-round work; Meaningful client relationships; Accessible path to partnership; etc.
- Then "Who Thrives in This Role?" description.

- "Key Responsibilities" with subheadings: Tax Compliance & Review, Quality Control & Staff Review, Engagement & Workflow Management, Research & Technical Expertise.

- "About WNA CPAs" paragraph.
We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe intro + why choose?), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (Qualifications?), Skills (maybe part of qualifications?), Benefits (What We Offer), Pay (maybe part of What We Offer? but we need separate Pay section only if posting actually states them. The posting mentions "Extremely competitive compensation", "Unique hourly compensation model". That's pay info. So we can have Pay section with that detail. Schedule: they mention flexible self-managed schedule, hybrid/remote, clearly defined season Jan/Feb to mid-April. So we can have Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not duplicate lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not limited to those; we can use other headings if needed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect those headings. But we can also include other headings if they have content? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are the possible headings; we should stick to those. However we have content like "Why Professionals Choose WNA" which is not in list. Could we map that to "About the role"? Probably combine intro and why choose into About the role.
Similarly "Who Thrives in This Role?" could be part of About the role or Requirements? Might be better to include as part of About the role.
"Position Summary" could be part of About the role.
"Key Responsibilities" -> Responsibilities.
"Qualifications" -> Requirements or Qualifications? They have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We could use Qualifications for the qualifications list. Requirements maybe for something else? But we have no separate requirements beyond qualifications. Could combine.
"Skills" maybe not needed.
"Benefits" -> What We Offer.
"Pay" -> compensation details.
"Schedule" -> flexible schedule, season.
Thus we will produce sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must ensure we include all substantive info.
Let's extract content.
About the role: combine intro paragraph, why professionals choose WNA bullet points, who thrives, position summary.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. But we can condense into paragraphs and lists as needed, but must not lose detail. However we can combine bullet points into - etc.
We need to be careful not to omit any specifics.
