We must not repeat job title. Use for section headings.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to extract responsibilities list, requirements list, qualifications list (preferred qualifications), benefits, pay, schedule.
Let's parse the posting.

We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove "For details on our comprehensive benefits, click here." Also remove company description paragraphs maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description about FedEx Logistics providing services might be considered not boilerplate but maybe it's generic marketing; but it's not required to preserve? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description is not directly about the job; it's generic. Could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO/legal but it's marketing. Might be okay to keep? Safer to remove as it's not directly about the role. However instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It doesn't explicitly say to remove marketing fluff. But we can keep if it's substantive? It's not about the job. I'd lean to remove it to keep focused.
Thus we need sections:
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: required qualifications (Associates degree or equivalent preferred? Actually "Associates degree or equivalent preferred." That's preferred, not required. Required: Six months brokerage experience required; One year experience with customer contact required; Minimum one year experience using computer systems...; Knowledge of customs regulations, harmonized tariff schedules required. Also maybe "CCS and/or Brokers license preferred." That's preferred. So we separate required vs preferred? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use

Thus we need sections:
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: required qualifications (Associates degree or equivalent preferred? Actually "Associates degree or equivalent preferred." That's preferred, not required. Required: Six months brokerage experience required; One year experience with customer contact required; Minimum one year experience using computer systems...; Knowledge of customs regulations, harmonized tariff schedules required. Also maybe "CCS and/or Brokers license preferred." That's preferred. So we separate required vs preferred? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where.
We have many skill-like items: Excellent communication skills, verbal and written; Organizational and inter-personal skills; Problem solving Skills; Ability to work independently; Ability to use multiple systems; Interact with customers etc. Those could go under Skills.
Requirements: likely the mandatory items: Six months brokerage experience required; One year experience with customer contact required; Minimum one year experience using computer systems...; Knowledge of customs regulations, harmonized tariff schedules required. Also maybe "Associates degree or equivalent preferred." That's preferred, so goes under Qualifications? Or maybe under Qualifications (preferred). The heading "Qualifications" could contain both preferred and required? But we have separate Requirements heading. Usually Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = preferred or additional. We'll follow that.
Skills: communication, organizational, problem solving, ability to work independently, ability to use multiple systems, interact with various parties.
Benefits: health, vision and dental insurance, retirement, tuition reimbursement. Also Paid training provided? That could be a benefit. Also maybe "Paid training provided." We'll include under Benefits.
Pay: $23.34 - $35.01 USD Hourly.
Schedule: Remote Work Schedule: Standard business hours, Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
Now responsibilities: list of duties from first paragraph until before "Paid training provided". Let's extract.
Original responsibilities sentences (with some missing spaces due to concatenation). Let's rewrite clearly:
