Specialist, Procurement
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary). The posting starts with "The role holder is responsible for supporting and implementing..." That's more responsibilities. Could treat as About the role paragraph summarizing. Then Responsibilities section with bullet list of duties. Then Requirements/Qualifications/Skills maybe combined? But we need separate headings if content exists. Could have Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (core competencies). Qualifications maybe same as requirements. To avoid thin sections, we can combine Education/Experience under Requirements, and Skills under Skills. Qualifications maybe not needed if same as Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Skills (core competencies), Benefits, Pay. So we will output those sections.
We must not include Schedule.
Now craft HTML.
