We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "What Makes Us a Great Place To Work ..." This is about company culture. Could be "About the role"? Actually it's about company. Might be "About the role" or maybe "About Bain". But we have to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- Description of role: "WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM The Senior Manager, Business Development (BD) ..." This is role description. Could be "About the role".
- Responsibilities: The "Essential Functions WHAT YOU’LL DO" with percentages and bullet-like paragraphs. That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: "Required ABOUT YOU Minimum of 5 years’ work experience Solid strategic and analytical toolkit ..." That's requirements/qualifications.
- Preferred: "Preferred Experience navigating various internal stakeholder groups ..." Could be part of qualifications or skills.
- Skills: maybe combine.
- Benefits: There's a benefits paragraph: "Bain & Company's comprehensive benefits and wellness program ..." plus details: medical, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k), life insurance, etc. Also "Compensation for this role includes base salary, annual discretionary performance bonus, 401(k) plan with an annual employer contribution based on years of service and Bain’s best in class benefits package". So we have benefits content.
- Pay: There's compensation info: salary ranges per city, bonus, 401(k) contribution. So Pay section.
- Schedule: There's "WORK MODEL / TRAVEL This role follows a hybrid model, requiring in-office presence at least 1-2 days per week. This is a global role that could require early morning and/or late evening calls on occasion. May require occasional travel (5-10%)." That's schedule/work model.
Thus we can include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (maybe combine), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not.

Thus we can include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (maybe combine), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not.
We need to use for each section 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. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's a line about Massachusetts lie detector test - that's legal boilerplate; should be removed. Also "It is unlawful in Massachusetts..." remove.
Also "Role Some local governments..." that's part of compensation info; keep.
We need to ensure we don't include headings with filler text.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
... content about role fit within team ...
Then Responsibilities: we have bullet-like paragraphs with percentages. Could turn each bullet into - . The content includes percentages and description. We'll keep them as list items.
We need to preserve percentages and details.
Let's extract responsibilities text:

We can keep percentages as part of list items or separate headings? Probably list items.
We'll create
- for each bullet line. Might be many; okay.

We can list each as

Preferred: "Preferred Experience navigating various internal stakeholder groups (client facing or internal business function) Alliance / partnership development experience"
We could include under Requirements or Skills. Maybe Skills section.
Skills: maybe combine required and preferred? But we have separate headings: Skills. Could list skills.
But we already have Required and Preferred; we could put Required under Requirements, Preferred under Skills, or combine.
Better: Requirements: list required qualifications. Skills: list skills (both required and preferred). But we need to avoid duplication.

We can list as
- .
Pay: compensation info: base salary, annual discretionary performance bonus, 401(k) plan with annual employer contribution based on years of service and Bain’s best in class benefits package. Then salary ranges per city. Also "Annual discretionary performance bonus This role may also be eligible for other elements of discretionary compensation 4.5% 401(k) company contribution, which increases after 3 years of service and is 100% vested upon start date". Actually the text: "Annual discretionary performance bonus This role may also be eligible for other elements of discretionary compensation 4.5% 401(k) company contribution, which increases after 3 years of service and is 100% vested upon start date". Need to preserve.
We'll create

Schedule: hybrid model, in-office 1-2 days per week, global role may require early morning/late evening calls, occasional travel 5-10%.
We'll output as

Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "It is unlawful in Massachusetts...". Remove.
Also remove duplicated lines: there is "Role Some local governments..." we kept as part of pay.
