We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (but we should not repeat job title as heading; we can have heading "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Thus we can have

About the role

then paragraph(s) containing the "About The Role" content. Then sections: Responsibilities (What You'll Do) -> list items. Then Requirements (What You'll Need) -> list items. Then Benefits (Why CBRE? includes benefits list) -> list. Then Pay (salary range) -> maybe paragraph. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range. We must not include EEO boilerplate, accommodations, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; we can condense but not lose detail.

This role serves as a key leader within our GDS executive leadership team and is responsible for establishing the operational governance framework that drives accountability, regulatory compliance, execution excellence, and business performance across a diverse portfolio of government customers and contract vehicles. The Senior Director will oversee the Program Management Office (PMO), business performance reporting, strategic initiative execution, and enterprise risk management activities while helping ensure compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), agency-specific contracting requirements, and CBRE policies.
