Tax Credits Director
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map headings accordingly. We should not repeat job title. We need to include only sections with real content. We have content: - About Us (description of IEDA and IFA). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about organization, not role. Could be "About the role"? But we have "About This Opportunity". That seems like role description. So we could have heading "About the role" for that content. "About Us" could be omitted? But we need preserve all substantive information. Could include as a paragraph under maybe "About the organization"? Not in list. But we can still include as a
without heading? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Probably we should use those headings where applicable. For "About Us" maybe we can treat as "About the role"? Not exactly. Could create a heading "About the organization" but not in list. Safer to include as a
without heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but to follow pattern we likely should use those headings for sections we have. We have content that maps to:
- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities
- Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualification Requirements (also "We Are Seeking An Ideal Candidate Who Is..." could be Qualifications/Skills)
- Benefits: Benefits
- About the role: About This Opportunity (maybe also About Us)
- Skills: maybe from "We Are Seeking An Ideal Candidate Who Is..." includes knowledge, experience, etc. Could be Skills.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, Right to Work, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We must preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract substantive content:

We should keep the benefits list.

We need to output HTML with headings for each section we include.
Potential sections:
- About the role (combining About Us and About This Opportunity? Could separate but we have limited headings. Maybe we can have "About the role" for About This Opportunity, and a separate paragraph for About Us without heading? But we need to preserve all substantive info; we could include About Us as a
under a heading "About the organization"? Not in list but maybe okay. However instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to stick to those headings. We could treat About Us as part of "About the role" as well, just combine.
Thus:
