We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

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

    for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. So we need to extract sections. From posting: - About Beeline Medicines (company description) maybe "About the role"? Actually "About Beeline Medicines" is company overview. Could be placed under "About the role"? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content accordingly. We have: - Job Summary (description of role) -> could be "About the role". Provide prose. - Work Arrangement & Location: Hybrid schedule details -> could be "Schedule". Provide details. - Essential Duties And Responsibilities -> list of duties -> "Responsibilities". - Qualifications -> includes Education, experience, expertise etc. Could be "Qualifications". Also there is "Skills" maybe separate? The qualifications list includes many skill-like items. Could split: Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (specific abilities). But we need to avoid thin sections. Might combine Qualifications and Skills into one? But instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Skills if distinct. Let's extract: About the role: Job Summary paragraph plus maybe company description? The "About Beeline Medicines" is company overview, not role. Could be included in About the role as context. But we can keep it as part of About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet points under Essential Duties And Responsibilities). Each bullet is a sentence; we can make
    • . Qualifications: Education, experience, expertise etc. Could be a mix of prose and list. We'll make
      • for each qualification item. Skills: maybe the abilities like "Strong command of post-approval CMC change management regulations", "Proven track record of influencing without authority", etc. Those are also qualifications. Might be redundant. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called Qualifications (includes skills). But we need to follow headings list; we can omit Skills if not distinct. Benefits: described under "Benefits". Provide list. Pay: Salary Range $242,000 - $313,500 USD plus note about bonus etc. Provide prose. Schedule: Work Arrangement & Location: Hybrid schedule details. We must not include boilerplate: Equal Employment Opportunity, Reasonable Accommodation, Privacy, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Now produce HTML. Structure:
