2. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. 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")
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
The posting has:
- "Who We Are" section (organization description)
- "Job Summary" section (role description)
- "Essential Function/Responsibility" with two subsections: "Event production and event planning (85%)" and "Other Centralized Support tasks (15%)"
- "What We're Looking For" (requirements/qualifications)
- "Location Requirements" (remote, flexible)
- "Compensation | Benefits" (pay range and benefits)
- "Application Instructions" (boilerplate to remove)
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. The rules say to use standard headings like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". But I should only include sections that have real content.
Let me map:
- "Who We Are" + "Job Summary" could be "About the role" or "About the organization" but the rule says "About the role" is a heading option. I'll combine into "About the role" with prose.
- "Essential Function/Responsibility" -> "Responsibilities"
- "What We're Looking For" -> "Requirements" or "Qualifications"
- "Location Requirements" -> "Schedule" or maybe "Location" but not a standard heading. Could be part of "Schedule" or a separate "Location" but not listed. I'll include as "Location" under a heading maybe "Schedule" or just a paragraph. The rule says use headings like "Schedule". I'll create a "Schedule" section for location/remote info.
- "Compensation | Benefits" -> "Pay" and "Benefits" sections.
But note: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state compensation and benefits, so I can create Pay and Benefits sections. Also location/schedule info is present.
I need to avoid duplicating the "Who We Are" text appears twice? Actually the posting includes "Who We Are" and then "Job Summary" which repeats the same paragraph. I should include it once.
Also "Other Centralized Support tasks (15%)" appears twice (once in the beginning and again under Essential Function). I'll include once.
Now, I'll write HTML.

But note: "Schedule" heading is for schedule info. The posting says "Remote - Flexible Location Work is primarily performed remotely..." That's location, not schedule. However, the rule includes "Schedule" as a heading example. I could use "Location" but not in the list. I'll use "Schedule" and include location info there, or maybe create a "Location" heading? The rule says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says "e.g." so not exhaustive. I think it's okay to use "Location" as a heading. But to be safe, I'll use "Schedule" and include the remote/flexible location details.
Also, the posting mentions start dates and end date: "These are remote, temporary positions that are expected to start on one of two dates (December 7th, 2026 or January 19th, 2027), and end in late May of 2027." That's schedule info.
So "Schedule" section can include start/end dates and remote nature.
Now, "What We're Looking For" includes bullet points. I'll list them.
Also, "Compensation | Benefits" includes pay range and benefits details. I'll split into Pay and Benefits.
Now, remove application instructions, EEO boilerplate (the last paragraph about diverse and inclusive workforce is part of benefits? Actually it's after benefits. It's a diversity statement. Could be considered boilerplate. The rule says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. That paragraph is EEO. I'll drop it.
Also "The National MS Society is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce..." is EEO. Remove.
Now, ensure no markdown code fences, just HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
First, "About the role": combine Who We Are and Job Summary (but Job Summary repeats Who We Are). I'll include the Who We Are paragraph once, then the specific role description from Job Summary (the second paragraph onward). Actually Job Summary starts with same Who We Are paragraph, then continues with "The Temporary Associate, Centralized Support Team (CST) is a key member...". I'll include the unique part.
I'll write:
