We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Must keep substantive info: description, overview, responsibilities & competencies, qualifications (requirements), pay range, benefits mention (discretionary annual performance bonus, equity, other benefits). Also note that compensation listed is base salary only. Also note travel up to 25% required. Also note "Belief in Diversity" is EEO boilerplate, should be removed. Also note "Synaptics is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." remove. We need headings: About the role? The posting includes "Description" and "Overview". Could combine? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to appropriate headings. We have: - Description: introductory paragraph about Synaptics AI at Edge etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually description is about company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Overview". The overview section: "Synaptics is looking for a highly accomplished Sr. Director, Sales, Americas PC..." That's about the role. So we could have:

About the role

with overview content. Then responsibilities: "Responsibilities & Competencies" includes Job Duties and Competencies. We could split into Responsibilities (job duties) and maybe Skills (competencies). But instruction says we can have Skills section. However we should only create sections when posting has real specific content. We have both duties and competencies. Could make two sections: Responsibilities (job duties) and Skills (competencies). Or combine into one Responsibilities section with both duties and competencies? Better to follow typical: Responsibilities (job duties) and Skills (competencies). We'll output both if content present. Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications (Requirements)" section. Use heading Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications. We'll use Requirements. Pay: we have base pay range and note about bonus, equity, benefits. So we can have Pay section with base pay range and note that bonus, equity, benefits are also eligible. Also note compensation listed is base salary only. Benefits: we have mention of discretionary annual performance bonus, equity, other benefits. Could create Benefits section. But we already mentioned in Pay. Might be redundant. However instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one Pay section that includes base pay and benefits. But they said create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits (bonus, equity, other benefits). So we could have Benefits section separate. But to avoid many thin sections, maybe combine Pay and Benefits into one Pay section that includes base pay and mention of bonus, equity, other benefits. However they gave example headings: Pay, Benefits, Schedule. It's okay to have both if content. But we need to decide. Schedule: travel up to 25% required. That's schedule/travel. Could be Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Requirements, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Check each for content: About the role: overview paragraph. Responsibilities: job duties list. Skills: competencies list. Requirements: qualifications list. Pay: base pay range and note that compensation listed is base salary only, plus mention of eligibility for bonus, equity, other benefits. Benefits: maybe we can detail discretionary annual performance bonus, equity, other benefits. But we already mentioned in Pay. Could still have Benefits section with those details. However that would duplicate. Better to keep Pay section with base pay and note that bonus, equity, other benefits are also eligible. Then Benefits section could be omitted to avoid thin. But we have schedule: travel up to 25% required. That's schedule. Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Requirements, Pay, Schedule. Check if any other content: "Belief in Diversity" removed. Now format: Use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not lose details. Let's extract content. About the role (Overview): "Synaptics is looking for a highly accomplished Sr. Director, Sales, Americas PC to lead our PC segment sales organization.

We'll keep it there? Might be duplicate with schedule section. But we can keep it in Requirements as it's a requirement. However we also have Schedule section for travel. To avoid duplication, we could move travel to Schedule section and remove from Requirements. But the instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. If we remove it from Requirements, we lose that detail unless we put it elsewhere. We can keep it in Requirements and also have Schedule section referencing travel? That would duplicate. Better to keep it in Requirements and not have a separate Schedule section, unless we also have other schedule info (like work hours). The posting only mentions travel up to 25% required. So we could have Schedule section with that detail. Then we should remove it from Requirements to avoid duplication. But we must preserve all info; moving it is okay as long as it's present somewhere. So we can keep travel in Schedule section and omit from Requirements. However the Requirements list includes many items; we can drop that line. That's acceptable as we are not inventing or summarizing away detail; we are relocating it. The instruction didn't forbid moving content between sections, only not to invent or summarize away detail. So we can place travel under Schedule. Thus Requirements list will exclude the travel line. Now Pay section: base pay range and note about bonus, equity, other benefits, and that compensation listed is base salary only. Extract: - The typical base pay range for this position is USD $210,000 - $330,330 per year. - Individual pay is determined by many factors including work location, job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. - This position is also eligible for a discretionary annual performance bonus, equity, and other benefits. - Note that compensation listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits. We'll put as

    maybe with multiple sentences. Schedule section: Domestic and international travel up to 25% required. We'll put as

    . Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. Now produce HTML fragment: only the sections, each with

    heading and content. We must not include or . No markdown fences. Let's craft. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? The text includes ampersand (&) and maybe apostrophes. Should be fine as plain text; but to be safe we can keep as is. We'll produce:
