Sr. Writer/Speechwriter (WRITER EDITOR 4 CM)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The job summary is provided. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like Apply By Date? That's metadata; we can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. The Apply By Date is a date; we could include in a

maybe under a short metadata paragraph. But we should not create a heading for it. The instructions: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include Apply By Date in a

maybe at top. We need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities with percentages). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe from qualifications). Benefits (Benefits section). Pay (Salary or Pay Range). Schedule (Shift/Work Schedule). Also maybe Department Overview? Could be part of About the role. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. For Pay we have actual range: $85,500.00 - $157,300.00/yr. (Department budgeted salary range: $85,500 - $110,000/yr. Commensurate with experience.) The phrase "Commensurate with experience." is filler but we can include it as part of the pay description; it's not a heading. It's okay. Schedule: Shift (Work Schedule): M - F 8 AM - 5 PM. Also mention hybrid (mix of on-site and remote work). So schedule section. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with details. We'll include that. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities we have percentages; we could list each as
• . For qualifications we have bullet-like sentences; we can make list. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The text includes a lot of boilerplate at end (Physical Demands, Environmental Demands, Mental Demands, Work Environment, etc.) Those are likely boilerplate; we should remove them. Also the "Special Requirements – Please contact your recruiter..." etc. Also the "Misconduct Disclosure Requirement:" etc. Those are boilerplate; remove. We need to preserve all substantive information; but the physical demands etc may be considered substantive? Usually they are boilerplate but maybe they are specific to the role. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Physical demands might be considered part of job posting but not necessarily boilerplate; but they are generic. I'd lean to remove them as they are likely standard. The instruction says remove boilerplate; physical demands could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove them. Thus we keep: Job Summary, Key Responsibilities (with percentages), Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule, Department Overview maybe. We need to avoid creating sections with no real content. We'll include About the role (Job Summary + Department Overview). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills maybe not needed separately; we could incorporate skills into qualifications. But we have a Skills heading optional; we could omit if not distinct. Better to have few substantive sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now craft HTML. We'll start with a

  for Apply By Date maybe. Then
