We need to output only HTML fragment, with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "WORKING AT GENEZEN" maybe part of about? The "WORKING AT GENEZEN" is description of culture; could be part of About the role? Actually "WORKING AT GENEZEN" is a paragraph about company culture. Could be placed under "About the role" or maybe separate but we only have allowed headings. We can put that under "About the role". Also "JOB SUMMARY" is description of role; could be part of About the role as well. "ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS" is responsibilities. "SPECIAL JOB FUNCTIONS" maybe also responsibilities. "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE" includes education, certifications, experience, skills. We need to split into sections: Requirements (education/experience), Skills (skills/abilities). Qualifications maybe overlapping; but we can combine. The instruction: use headings for those categories. We need to decide what goes where.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated: PAY RANGE: $140,000-$165,000. So include Pay section. Benefits: there is a list of benefits under "GENEZEN'S BENEFITS". So include Benefits section. Schedule: not explicitly stated; there is "SPECIAL JOB FUNCTIONS Adaptability required as work schedule may change based on business needs". That's about schedule adaptability but not a defined schedule. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Does it state schedule? It mentions work schedule may change based on business needs, but not a specific schedule (e.g., full-time, Monday-Friday). Might be considered schedule info? It's vague. Safer to not create Schedule section because no explicit schedule like "Full-time, 40 hours per week". We'll omit Schedule.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with

Additional details: "Nothing in the job description for this role restricts management’s right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time. This position requires a criminal background check. Genezen is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Genezen participates in EVerify. Genezen is interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States; however, we are not able to sponsor visas. Genezen has operates two locations: one in Fishers, Indiana and the second in Lexington, Massachusetts. Fishers is a suburb of Indianapolis. Fishers was named the #1 place to live in the US by Money Magazine in 2017 for its livability, safety and entrepreneurship. Fishers is one of the fastest growing communities in Indiana and is dedicated to supporting a high quality of life for all its residents. Nearby Indianapolis is home to professional and college sports teams, the Indy 500, a growing art community and the world’s largest children’s museum--to name just a few reasons why this area is a great place to live. Lexington, Massachusetts, located just northwest of Boston, is renowned as a historic suburb with a rich cultural heritage. It boasts picturesque New England charm, tree-lined streets, and a vibrant community. Known for its pivotal role in the American Revolution, Lexington offers visitors and residents alike a blend of historical landmarks, modern amenities, and a strong sense of community pride."
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, EVerify, visa sponsorship, maybe also the "Nothing in the job description..." is not boilerplate? It's a statement about management rights; could be kept? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's a generic statement. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Nothing in the job description..." is a legal disclaimer; might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also remove EEO, EVerify, visa sponsorship lines. Also remove the duplicated location description? It's substantive about locations; we might keep location info as part of About the role or maybe separate but we don't have a location heading. Could include in About the role paragraph.
