We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Longroad Energy" and "Job Purpose". The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning examples, not exclusive list. So we can use other headings if appropriate, but better to follow those examples. However we have content: "About Longroad Energy" (company overview). Could be placed under a heading "About the company" but not in list. Might be okay to use "About Longroad Energy" as heading. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About Longroad Energy (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Longroad Energy" is about company, not role. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can adapt: "About the role" maybe not present; we have "Job Purpose". Could treat as "About the role". Or we could have a section "About Longroad Energy" but not in allowed list? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning examples, not exclusive list. So we can use other headings if appropriate, but better to follow those examples. However we have content: "About Longroad Energy" (company overview). Could be placed under a heading "About the company" but not in list. Might be okay to use "About Longroad Energy" as heading. The instruction says 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 use those headings where applicable.
We have:
- Job Purpose: could be under "About the role". We'll put that.
- Responsibilities: we have a big list.
- Minimum Qualifications: could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We'll use "Qualifications" heading.
- Desired/Preferred Qualifications: could be under "Skills" or also under "Qualifications". Might combine.
- Characteristics Necessary for Success: could be under "Skills" or maybe "Qualifications". Might be separate "Skills".
- Compensation: we have salary range. That's Pay.
- Benefits: we have benefits description.
- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: maybe not needed; could be omitted as not in list but could be a section but instruction says only include when posting has real specific content. It does have DEI content. Could include as a section maybe "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion". Not in list but okay.
- Longroad Energy Values: maybe not needed.
- Equal Opportunity Employer: boilerplate, should be removed.
- Notice of AI Use: maybe not needed; could be considered boilerplate? It's about hiring process; maybe keep? It's not EEO but still maybe not needed. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. AI notice maybe not boilerplate but could be considered legal? Might be safe to keep? It's not EEO. But it's about hiring process; could be considered part of application instructions? Not exactly. Might keep as a short paragraph under a generic heading? But we have no heading for that. Could drop it as minor metadata.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep the DEI and Values content? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. DEI is not exactly boilerplate; it's substantive about company policy. Might keep. Values also substantive.
But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Could combine DEI and Values under a heading "Company Culture" or similar. But we must use for section headings; we can choose any heading. Let's think: we could have sections:
- About the role (Job Purpose)
- Responsibilities
- Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications + Desired/Preferred Qualifications + Characteristics Necessary for Success)
- Pay (Compensation)
- Benefits
- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
- Company Values (Longroad Energy Values)
That's many sections but each has substantive content. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could we combine some? For example, combine Qualifications and Characteristics into one "Qualifications & Skills". Combine DEI and Values into "Company Culture & Values". That reduces sections.
Let's decide:
Sections:
1. About the role (Job Purpose)
2. Responsibilities
3. Qualifications & Skills (includes Minimum Qualifications, Desired/Preferred Qualifications, Characteristics Necessary for Success)
4. Pay (Compensation)
5. Benefits
6. Company Culture & Values (includes DEI and Longroad Energy Values)
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We must not include Job ID etc. Not present.
We must not include application instructions; we have none.
We must not include boilerplate EEO; we removed that.
We must not include AI notice? It's not EEO but maybe considered legal? Might be safe to drop as minor metadata. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. AI notice could be considered legal? It's about hiring process; but it's not exactly boilerplate. However it's not substantive about the job; it's about process. Could drop.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content.
About Longroad Energy: paragraph about company founded 2016, etc. That's substantive. Should we include under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about job purpose, not company. But we could have a separate "About Longroad Energy" heading. However we decided to combine into "About the role"? Might be misleading. Better to have a heading "About Longroad Energy" (company overview) and then "Job Purpose" under same? But we can't have two headings without content? We could have a section "About the role" that includes both company overview and job purpose? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So "About the role" could include company overview and job purpose. That's acceptable.
Thus under About the role
we put paragraphs: first about Longroad Energy (company description) then job purpose.
Now Responsibilities: we have bullet points under "Tax Compliance & Forecasting", "External Tax Advisor Oversight", "Technical Tax & Cross-Functional Partnership", "Process, Documentation & Continuous Improvement". Those are subheadings within responsibilities. We need to output as a list (- ) for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Should we keep subheadings? Could incorporate them as part of list items? Might lose structure. But we can keep subheadings as or something? Not specified. Probably we can keep them as part of list items: each responsibility bullet starts with a bold heading. We'll keep as list items with the subheading text included.
We need to preserve all substantive information: the bullet points under each subheading.

Also there is a line "Salary Description$144k - $175k" duplicate; we should not duplicate. We'll keep one.
