ManagementFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections only when content present. The job posting includes many responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, etc. No explicit Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections. So we should not include those headings. We need headings: About the role? The posting includes a paragraph about organization and mission. Could be "About the role" or "About the organization". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections that have real content.
We have:
- About the role / About the organization: The first paragraph: "SAE Industry Technologies Consortia (ITC), Performance Review Institute (PRI) and SAE International (SAE), deliver shared solutions to industry's common challenges. Join us and create a higher standard for a better world." Also later "#ITC About The Organization ..." includes description of SAE ITC, PRI, SAE International, Fullsight. That's about organization. So we can have an
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections that have real content.
We have:

Join us and create a higher standard for a better world." Also later "#ITC About The Organization ..." includes description of SAE ITC, PRI, SAE International, Fullsight. That's about organization. So we can have an About the role
or About the organization. Probably "About the role" fits the initial description. We'll include that.
- Responsibilities: Many bullet-like sentences describing essential functions. We'll put them in - .
- Requirements: Minimum Requirements list.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: Could be derived from requirements (interpersonal, communications, analytical, etc.) but we already have Requirements and Qualifications; maybe we can combine skills into Requirements? The instruction says use headings as appropriate; we can include Skills if there is distinct content. The Minimum Requirements includes many skill-like items. Could treat them as Requirements. We'll have Requirements section covering both experience/education and skills. Preferred Qualifications separate.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not present, so omit.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading (not present). Must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none). Remove boilerplate: EEO clause, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. The posting includes some duplicated sentences like "Contributes to fiscal management and strategic planning by developing and annually updating short- and long-term forecasts of the program, including business and financial projections." appears twice (once in essential functions, once in Minimum Requirements). We need to preserve all substantive information but not duplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't explicitly say to deduplicate, but says remove duplicated lines. So we should remove duplicated lines. We'll need to detect duplicates and keep one instance.
Let's extract content.
First paragraph: "SAE Industry Technologies Consortia (ITC), Performance Review Institute (PRI) and SAE International (SAE), deliver shared solutions to industry's common challenges. Join us and create a higher standard for a better world."

Manages the efficient use of resources, reviews contracts and contractor performance. Guides program offerings from introduction to obsolescence, adjusting plans to align with industry and organizational requirements.

Leads recruitment efforts, reviews usage data, and maintains customer relationships. Engages in external activities to promote program offerings. Manages marketing and communications strategies and conducts user-experience research for product and service development."

We should include Working Conditions maybe as a section? The instruction only gave examples of headings but not limited to those; we could include a section like "Working Conditions" if there is real content. It didn't list it as example but we can still use
Working Conditions
if we think it's appropriate. However the instruction says: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we can add other headings if needed. But we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Working Conditions is a substantive block; we could include it as a section.
But we also have "About The Organization" later. Could merge with About the role.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO clause, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's craft sections:
