We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about AlixPartners, then "What You’ll Do" (responsibilities), then "What You’ll Bring" (requirements/qualifications/skills). Also includes location, core working hours, salary range, benefits, etc. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include application instructions. Must not include duplicated lines. Must include sections only when real content.
We need to decide headings: Use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose appropriate headings based on content.
We have:
- Intro about AlixPartners (company description, hybrid model, location). Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the team". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use "About the role" for company overview and location.
- Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do" list.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What You’ll Bring" includes experience, technical skills, certifications, etc. Could split into Requirements and Skills, but we can combine into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Since we have multiple, maybe "Requirements" and "Skills". But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine into "Requirements" covering experience, technical, certifications, etc. Or separate "Qualifications" and "Skills". Let's see content: Minimum three years experience, experience with ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, macOS, Jamf, ITIL, shared ticket queue, certification, supporting execs, customer service skills, organizational skills, leveraging AI tools, process improvements, communication, ability to work independently, lift 50 lbs, occasional travel, core hours, ability to work full time office/remote, must be authorized to work in US, no visa sponsorship. Also benefits and salary.
Thus we can have:

- Escalate requests that cannot be resolved by the Service Desk to other IT teams, and contact third-party vendors for warranty service repair as necessary

- Additional responsibilities as identified; this description is not designed to encompass a comprehensive listing of required activities, duties or responsibilities
We should keep all but maybe the last sentence about additional responsibilities is okay.
Requirements: from "What You’ll Bring". Let's list:

- MUST BE CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN THE UNITED STATES. NO VISA OR IMMIGRATION SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. (e.g., H-1B, STEM OPT, TN, etc.)
We should avoid duplicating core working hours (already in schedule). Might still include but could be redundant. Better to not duplicate; we can mention in schedule section only. So we can omit core working hours from requirements.
Also "Ability to work full time in an office and remote environment" maybe part of requirements but could be schedule? It's about work arrangement; could be in schedule or requirements. We'll keep in schedule maybe.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
Schedule section: core working hours, staggered shifts, willingness to work outside normal US business hours, ability to work full time office/remote, etc.
Requirements section: experience, technical skills, certifications, exec support, customer service, organizational skills, AI tools, process improvements, communication, ability to work independently, lift 50 lbs, occasional travel ( and then or

Check for any boilerplate: We removed EEO lines, Gold Level award, etc. Also removed "Additional responsibilities as identified; this description is not designed to encompass a comprehensive listing of required activities, duties or responsibilities." That's okay to keep as it's part of responsibilities but it's generic; still substantive? It's a disclaimer but we can keep.
