We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes an EEO statement at end: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or any other applicable legally protected characteristics..." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the encouragement about diversity etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of posting encouraging applications; not sure if to remove. It's not cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning. It's a diversity encouragement; maybe keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The diversity encouragement is not exactly EEO but could be considered part of EEO. Safer to remove? It's not a legal disclaimer; it's encouraging underrepresented groups. Might be considered part of EEO. I'd remove it to be safe.
Also the repeated "About ScienceLogic" at end is duplicate; we should not repeat. We'll keep only one instance at start.
We need to preserve all substantive information: details about responsibilities, qualifications, benefits.

We also have initial About ScienceLogic paragraph (first). Could be used as About the role? Actually About the role could be the "What We're Looking For..." section. The initial company description could be considered "About ScienceLogic" but not role. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need About the role heading. We'll put the "What We're Looking For..." content under About the role.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. So we won't add a heading for Senior Director, Finance & FP&A.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
