We need to output only HTML fragment, using for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Key sections:
- About the role: The opening paragraph: "Cetera is currently seeking a Senior Specialty Operations Professional for our team located in Des Moines, IA. This is a unique opportunity to join our team in providing operational support and world-class customer service to our clients. There is potential for this to be a hybrid role based on a successful training period."
- Responsibilities: The "Core Responsibilities" list (multiple bullet-like sentences). We need to extract duties.
- Requirements: Possibly "Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" and "Minimum Required Education & Experience". Could be separate sections: Requirements (maybe combine required knowledge and min education). Qualifications: maybe "Desired Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities". Skills: maybe combine? But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have content.
- About the role: yes.
- Responsibilities: yes.
- Requirements: we have "Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" and "Minimum Required Education & Experience". That's requirements.
- Qualifications: we have "Desired Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities". That could be qualifications.
- Skills: maybe we could separate skills from responsibilities? But we already have skills in required/desired. Could still have a Skills section summarizing skill items? But we must not create filler. If we already covered skills in Requirements and Qualifications, we could omit Skills section to avoid thin. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine skills into Requirements and Qualifications, and not have a separate Skills section.
- Benefits: Yes, there is a benefits paragraph under "About Us" describing benefits.
- Pay: Yes, compensation section: salary range $17.80- $25.00, plus competitive performance-based bonus. Also mention compensation packages based on factors. That's specific enough for Pay.
- Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides hybrid potential. There's no explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. The posting mentions hybrid role potential, but not schedule details like "Full-time", "Monday-Friday". There's no explicit schedule info. So we should not create a Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule specifics, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Now we need to format.

Now we need to format.
Use for each heading.
Inside each section, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like specific systems (Docupace, NetX360, Adviceworks, MAA, Salesforce and Smartworks), etc.
We need to extract responsibilities list items. The responsibilities paragraph is long with many sentences, some repeated. We need to capture each duty as a list item, preserving details but not duplicating identical lines.
Let's parse responsibilities:
