We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes POSITION SUMMARY, ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES, QUALIFICATIONS, EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE, OPEN TO EXPERIENCE, Additional Job Information (pay ranges). We need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each section heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide which sections correspond. Likely:
- About the role: from POSITION SUMMARY (maybe also some overview). Use that.
- Responsibilities: from ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES and SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES combined? Could separate but we can put under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: from QUALIFICATIONS and EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE? Could combine.
- Skills: maybe from abilities listed (communicate effectively, etc.) Could be part of Requirements.
- Benefits: Not mentioned; no benefits info. So we should NOT include Benefits section.
- Pay: we have pay ranges for Sr. Staff Attorney and Jr. Staff Attorney. So include Pay section with that info.
- Schedule: not mentioned; omit.
We must not create sections with filler. So include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills?, Pay. Possibly also Qualifications separate? But we have to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include multiple of those if content exists. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills (communication etc.), Pay. We could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for abilities like communication, research/writing, etc. Let's parse.
From posting:
POSITION SUMMARY: description.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: list of duties.

QUALIFICATIONS: paragraph about ability to perform duties, reasonable accommodations.
EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE: law degree, bar admission, 6+ years experience, etc.
OPEN TO EXPERIENCE: mention recent graduates, pay adjusted.
Additional Job Information: pay ranges.
Thus we can map:
- About the role: POSITION SUMMARY.
- Responsibilities: combine ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES + SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES.
- Requirements: maybe EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE (minimum qualifications).
- Qualifications: maybe the QUALIFICATIONS paragraph (ability to perform duties, accommodations). Could be considered qualifications.
- Skills: abilities like communicate effectively, research/writing, etc. Could be from OPEN TO EXPERIENCE and other parts.
- Pay: pay ranges.
