We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, About Bellwether, Core Responsibilities (maybe split into subsections? The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have headings: About the role, About Bellwether, Core Responsibilities (or Responsibilities), Recommended Qualifications (or Qualifications), Compensation (Pay). Also maybe Benefits? The posting mentions benefits package includes health care coverage, 401(k) with matching, performance bonus. So we can include Benefits section. Pay section: we have salary range and bonus. Could combine Pay and Benefits? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have sections: About the role, About Bellwether, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Compensation & Benefits. But they want headings like Pay, Benefits, Schedule if present. Since we have Pay and Benefits info, we could make separate Pay and Benefits sections. However they say prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we have enough content for each. Let's decide: Use About the role, About Bellwether, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. That's six sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, cookie/navigation/legal, application instructions (like "To Apply ...") and AI in Hiring note? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the "To Apply" paragraph, the "Note: Applicants must be authorized..." paragraph, the "Use of AI in Hiring" paragraph, and the EEO statement. Also remove "Bellwether is committed to providing equal opportunities..." etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So keep description of role, Bellwether description, responsibilities, qualifications, compensation, benefits.
