We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description before responsibilities. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real, specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about Worldscape and role description. - Then "Responsibilities:" with subheadings: Information Technology Leadership, Security & Compliance, Customer Support Leadership, Service Management & Operations, Customer & Product Partnership, Team Leadership. - Then "Required Qualifications:" list bullet points. - Then "Preferred Qualifications:" list bullet points. - Then "Why Worldscape?" paragraph about culture. - Then "What we offer:" bullet list of benefits. - Then "Worldscape is committed to creating a diverse..." EEO line - remove. We need to map to sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (the responsibilities section), Requirements? Possibly combine Required Qualifications as Requirements? The spec says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could map Required Qualifications to Requirements heading, Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications heading? Or maybe Qualifications heading for both? But we need to follow spec: Use headings exactly those names. We can include sections only if content exists. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (the bullet list under Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills? Not explicitly listed; maybe we can omit Skills if no specific skills section. Benefits: we have "What we offer:" bullet list includes benefits. Pay: not specified (only "Competitive salary and meaningful equity" but that's vague; we should not include Pay unless specific numbers. The spec says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Competitive salary and meaningful equity" is vague but maybe acceptable? It's not a specific number. Might be considered filler. Safer to omit Pay section. Schedule: not specified; omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. We need to use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. We need to format responsibilities subheadings? The spec only says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid using other headings inside? Probably we should keep the subheadings as

    or maybe ? But we can keep them as

    with bold? However we must not add extra headings not listed. Could treat subheadings as

    with strong text. We need to preserve all bullet points under each responsibility category. Thus structure:

    About the role

    Worldscape is a cutting-edge platform ... (the intro paragraph up to "This role requires someone comfortable working in a fast-growing technology company where automation, security, customer obsession, operational discipline, and speed matter equally.") That's the prose. Then

    Responsibilities

    Then we need to list responsibilities. Could use
    • for each top-level responsibility area, and inside each li we can have

      with subheading bold and then another

        for sub-bullets. But spec says use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. We'll do that. Thus:
          • Information Technology Leadership
            • Own Worldscape's enterprise IT strategy, architecture, operations, and roadmap
            • Build scalable IT infrastructure capable of supporting rapid company growth
            • ... etc.
          • ... Similarly for other sections. Then

            Requirements

            for Required Qualifications bullet list. Then

            Qualifications

            for Preferred Qualifications bullet list. Then

            Benefits

            for What we offer bullet list. We must not include Pay or Schedule. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO line. Let's extract the exact text. Intro paragraph: "Worldscape is a cutting-edge platform designed to unify distributed data, sensors, and intelligent agents across cloud, on-prem, and edge environments. By combining geospatial intelligence, physics-based 3D simulation, and reward-driven AI, Worldscape enables organizations to build immersive digital twins for predictive modeling, scenario planning, and adaptive decision-making. With a zero-trust security framework, seamless integration with legacy systems, and robust developer tools, Worldscape empowers rapid deployment of agentic applications that drive resilience and efficiency in sectors like logistics, telecom, defense, and infrastructure. Worldscape is seeking an experienced Senior Director of IT & Customer Support to lead two critical functions as the company rapidly scales: enterprise Information Technology and global Customer Support. This leader will own Worldscape's internal IT environment, ensuring employees have secure, reliable, and highly automated technology services while maintaining the security and compliance posture required to operate across commercial, defense, and classified environments. The role will establish scalable IT operations spanning identity, endpoints, collaboration, networking, cloud services, enterprise applications, service management, asset management, and employee technology support. In parallel, this leader will build Worldscape's customer support organization from the ground up, establishing the people, processes, systems, service levels, and operating model required to provide 24x7 support for mission-critical customers.
