for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.

- Intro: "We are seeking a talented individual to join our Investments and Retirement team, part of our people and investments business at Marsh. This role will be based in Los Angeles, Denver, Irvine, Phoenix, San Francisco or Seattle. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office."

- Then "We are excited to offer a competitive total rewards package which includes health and welfare benefits, tuition assistance, 401K savings and other retirement programs as well as employee assistance programs."
- Then "R_361039" (job ID) to be dropped.
We need sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (what you need to have), Qualifications? Could combine "What makes you stand out" as Qualifications or Skills? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). We can decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: intro paragraph describing role, location, hybrid requirement.
- Responsibilities: list of duties after "We will count on you to:".
- Requirements: "What you need to have:" list.
- Qualifications/Skills: "What makes you stand out:" could be Skills or Qualifications. Could treat as Skills.

- Pay: salary range and incentives.
- Schedule: hybrid requirement (at least three days a week in office). Already mentioned in About the role but could be separate Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not repeat job title. No markdown.
We must output only HTML fragment.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement about diversity and accommodation request. That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the Marsh description about global leader etc maybe not boilerplate? It's descriptive but could be considered part of "Why join our team"? It's about company. Might be okay to keep as part of Why join our team? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement is definitely boilerplate; remove. The Marsh description maybe not boilerplate but could be considered generic; but it's substantive about the company. Might keep as part of Why join our team or About the role? The posting includes: "Marsh (NYSE: MRSH) is a global leader in risk, reinsurance and capital, people and investments, and management consulting, advising clients in 130 countries. With annual revenue of over $27 billion and more than 95,000 colleagues, Marsh helps build the confidence to thrive through the power of perspective. For more information, visit marsh.com, or follow us on LinkedIn and X." This is company overview; could be considered part of Why join our team? It's not directly about benefits but could be kept. However we might decide to keep it under Why join our team as it's about the company. But the instruction says we should not create sections with filler; but we have real content.
We also have "Marsh is committed to hybrid work, which includes the flexibility of working remotely and the collaboration, connections and professional development benefits of working together in the office. All Marsh colleagues are expected to be in their local office or working onsite with clients at least three days per week. Office-based teams will identify at least one “anchor day” per week on which their full team will be together in person." This is schedule detail; we can include in Schedule section.
We also have "The applicable base salary range for this role is $110,000 to $220,000. The base pay offered will be determined on factors such as experience, skills, training, location, certifications, education, and any applicable minimum wage requirements. Decisions will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In addition to the base salary, this position may be eligible for performance-based incentives. We are excited to offer a competitive total rewards package which includes health and welfare benefits, tuition assistance, 401K savings and other retirement programs as well as employee assistance programs."
We need Pay section with salary range and maybe mention incentives. Benefits section with health and welfare benefits, tuition assistance, 401K savings, other retirement programs, employee assistance programs. Also professional development opportunities etc from Why join our team.
We need to avoid duplication: The "Why join our team" includes professional development opportunities, interesting work, supportive leaders, vibrant inclusive culture, scale enables career opportunities, benefits and rewards to enhance well-being. Then later we have total rewards package details. We can combine.
