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 specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions. The posting includes: "Your opportunity At Schwab..." etc. We need to parse.
We need sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe design consulting etc), Benefits (list), Pay (maybe mention salary range? It says "In addition to the salary range, this role is also eligible for bonus or incentive opportunities." That's mention of salary range but not actual numbers. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here they mention salary range but not actual numbers; is that considered filler? It says "In addition to the salary range, this role is also eligible for bonus or incentive opportunities." That's still not giving actual numbers, but it's stating that there is a salary range. Is that enough to include Pay section? The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state that there is a salary range (though not numbers). I'd interpret that as stating that there is a salary range, so we can include Pay section with that sentence. However they also say "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The phrase "salary range" is not filler; it's a statement that there is a range. So we can include Pay section with that sentence.
Schedule: they mention "Hybrid Work and Flexibility approach balances our ongoing commitment to workplace flexibility, serving our clients, and our strong belief in the value of being together in person on a regular basis." That's description of hybrid work. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: they list many benefits. So include Benefits.
Now we need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (maybe bullet list of duties), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications?), Skills (maybe design consulting etc). However we must avoid duplication. The posting includes sections: "What You Are Good At" (list of design consulting, design expertise and execution, design management, teamwork collaboration). That's like skills/responsibilities. Also "What you have" includes portfolio instruction. Then "Required Qualifications" list. Then "Preferred Qualifications". Also "In addition to the salary range..." etc. Then "What’s in it for you" includes benefits and hybrid work.
We need to map to headings: About the role (intro paragraph describing role). Responsibilities (maybe the bullet list under "What You Are Good At" and maybe design activities). Requirements (maybe required qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe design consulting etc? But that overlaps with responsibilities). Could combine.
We need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: We could have About the role (intro), Responsibilities (bullet list of duties from "What You Are Good At" and maybe design execution), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Benefits (list), Pay (salary range statement), Schedule (hybrid work). That seems reasonable.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No markdown.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not omit details, but we can reformat. Likely we should keep the exact sentences or close. We can copy bullet points.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit EEO etc. There's "Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without employer sponsorship." That's a requirement, keep.
Also "On your resume, please include a link to a digital portfolio of your relevant work; make sure to include any passwords required." That's application instruction? It's about resume, maybe considered application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove that line. Also "We are seeking a Senior User Experience Designer (individual contributor) to help shape..." that's part of about role.
We need to keep all substantive info except those removed.
Let's extract content:
Intro paragraph: "Your opportunity At Schwab, you’re empowered to make an impact on your career. Here, innovative thought meets creative problem solving, helping us “challenge the status quo” and transform the finance industry together. We believe in the importance of in-office collaboration and fully intend for the selected candidate for this role to work on site in the specified location(s). Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without employer sponsorship. We are seeking a Senior User Experience Designer (individual contributor) to help shape the future of Schwab’s Client Central platform and the broader ecosystem of tools that reps rely on every day. Client Central is a legacy enterprise platform used by more than 15,000 Schwab employees each day to support cashiering, client servicing, and other business-critical capabilities. Key areas of focus for this role include transformational workstreams such as Broker-Dealer Modernization, Client Central Reimagined, and other highly strategic initiatives that modernize how reps serve clients across sales, service, and advice workflows. You will translate complex business challenges into intuitive, scalable, and user-centered solutions across complex, data-dense workflows that connect client information, service interactions, relationship context, and rep tools. Your work will help advance Schwab’s modernization strategy by reducing friction, improving efficiency, and creating a more coherent experience across Client Central, related platforms, and the broader representative ecosystem — enabling reps to serve clients with greater confidence, speed, and effectiveness."
That's about role.
Next: "What You Are Good At" with subheadings: Design Consulting, Design Expertise and Execution, Design Management, Teamwork, Collaboration and Engagement. Each has bullet-like sentences (some are phrases). We need to convert to

That's about role.
Next: "What You Are Good At" with subheadings: Design Consulting, Design Expertise and Execution, Design Management, Teamwork, Collaboration and Engagement. Each has bullet-like sentences (some are phrases). We need to convert to - list. Probably each bullet is a line. Let's list them:

We could combine all into one responsibilities list, or separate sections. But we only have headings for Responsibilities (maybe). Could also have Skills section for these. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's put all these under Responsibilities
Responsibilities
with a containing all items.
Next: "What you have" includes portfolio instruction (remove as application instruction). So we remove that paragraph.

Thus Benefits section: Benefits
with a containing the introductory sentences, then
- for each benefit.
Schedule section: from "Our Hybrid Work and Flexibility approach balances our ongoing commitment to workplace flexibility, serving our clients, and our strong belief in the value of being together in person on a regular basis." That's schedule info. Could be a
