About the role

Qualifications
with paragraphs. - Competencies – All levels: list of skills. That's skills. Could be underSkills
with- .
- Preferred, but not required: additional preferred qualifications. Could also be under Qualifications or Skills? Probably Qualifications.
- Location Details: hybrid role, locations. That could be under Schedule? Actually schedule is about work schedule. Location details maybe not a heading we have; we could incorporate into Schedule or maybe not include if not matching headings. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler. We have headings list; we can choose to include Schedule if there is schedule info. The posting says: "Actual schedule requirements may vary based upon business needs." That's vague; not specific. Also "With management approval, an incumbent may work a combination of remote and onsite work..." That's schedule/location. Might be considered Schedule? But it's not specific schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". It's variable. Might be considered not specific enough to create a Schedule section. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state compensation & benefits: Base pay ranges, Officer Bonus Eligible, Benefits: How We Support You - Old Second (but then no details). It mentions benefits heading but no details. So we have Pay info (base pay ranges). Benefits: they have a heading "Benefits: How We Support You - Old Second" but then no details; it's just a heading with no specifics. According to rule, we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. Since they only have a heading with no detail, we should not include Benefits section. However we could include a short paragraph if there is any benefit info? There's none. So skip Benefits.
Pay: we have base pay ranges for AVP and VP levels, plus Officer Bonus Eligible at VP Level: target bonus up to 15% of base salary. That's specific. So we include Pay section.
Schedule: we have hybrid role, remote/onsite, schedule may vary. That's somewhat specific but not exact schedule. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule/hybrid details. So we could include Schedule section with that info. However we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. The schedule info is: "This position is considered a hybrid role. With management approval, an incumbent may work a combination of remote and onsite work to perform the regular responsibilities of the role. Onsite work may occur at the Chicago (Wacker), Downers Grove (Highland Ave) or Aurora (Main) location. Actual schedule requirements may vary based upon business needs." That's specific enough. So we include Schedule.
Now we need to decide about About the role vs Responsibilities. We have Position Overview paragraph. We'll put that under About the role.
Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions list.
Qualifications: Required Qualifications (AVP/VP levels) plus Preferred, but not required.
Skills: Competencies – All levels list.
Pay: base pay ranges and bonus.
Schedule: hybrid details.
We should not include Location Details separate; it's part of Schedule.
We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. Ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract details:

That's substantive. Should we include that? It's not under any of the headings list, but we could put it under About the role? Actually About the role is for role overview, not company. But we could incorporate it into About the role as a brief intro? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Likely they expect we use those headings only. So we need to map company info maybe under About the role? But About the role is supposed to be about the role, not company. However we could treat About the role as a general section that includes both company and role overview. The instruction: "Use
