We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. Remove boilerplate: "Apply now Job no: 540054 Work type: Staff Full-Time Location: Main Campus (Gainesville, FL) Categories: Business/Accounting/Finance, Executive/Director/Management Department:18300000 - ED-LASTINGER CENTER Classification Title Project Manager III Classification Minimum Requirements: ..." We need to preserve substantive info.
We have sections: Job Description (which includes many responsibilities). There's also "Required Qualifications" (same as Minimum Requirements). There's "Preferred" with Education, Experience, Skills. There's "Expected Salary $105,000 - $115,000". There's "Other Duties As Assigned". There's "Will travel for assigned business purpose minimally." There's "Special Instructions To Applicants" (but we need to remove application instructions). According to rules: remove application instructions. So we drop Special Instructions. Also drop "Health Assessment Required: No Advertised: ... Applications close: ..." etc. Also drop "Back to search results Apply nowRefer a friend Whatsapp Facebook LinkedIn Email App". Also drop "Apply now" at top.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description intro). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred?). Skills (list of skills). Pay (Expected Salary). Schedule? Not given. Benefits? Not given. So we include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

Skills (list of skills). Pay (Expected Salary). Schedule? Not given. Benefits? Not given. So we include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details from job description as list items.
Let's extract:
Job Description paragraph: "The position provides strategic and operational leadership for a unified Project Management Office (PMO), overseeing enterprise-wide project intake, prioritization, governance, and delivery to ensure alignment with organizational mission and strategic goals. The role supervises and mentors project management staff, establishes standards and best practices, and drives continuous improvement in PMO maturity, quality assurance, and portfolio performance. This position is time limited and soft funded."
That's prose; could be About the role.
Then there is a list of responsibilities after "Project management coordination, supervision, and strategic planning". Actually the text after that seems like a list of duties separated by periods. We need to turn each bullet into
- . Let's parse:

- Onboard and train new project management team members such that standard operating procedures are implemented with fidelity.
- Oversees Center-wide intake, prioritization, and tiered governance to ensure strategic alignment, transparency, and effective decision-making.

Now we need to decide sections.
About the role: Could be the first paragraph of Job Description (strategic and operational leadership...). We'll put that in
.
Responsibilities: combine all the duty bullets (including project management coordination, operations, strategy, other duties). We'll make a
with - for each bullet.
Requirements: Minimum Requirements (same as Required Qualifications). We'll put as
maybe each option as - . Or we could keep as prose but rule says use

- .
Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (Education, Experience, Skills). Could split into sub-sections? But we only have headings for Qualifications (maybe combine Education and Experience) and Skills separate. The instruction: Use
