We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes a lot of text about Vice President Expectations, Barclays Values etc. That's likely boilerplate? It's part of the posting but maybe considered generic corporate language. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The VP Expectations and Barclays Values might be considered boilerplate but they are part of the role description. However they are quite generic; but they might be considered part of the posting. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the VP Expectations and Barclays Values if they are substantive? They are generic but still part of posting. However they might be considered boilerplate (like corporate values). The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Not explicitly values. But we could keep them as part of About the role or Responsibilities? Might be too much.
Better to focus on core: purpose, accountabilities, requirements, skills, pay. We'll include location in About the role paragraph.
We need to avoid headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.

Pay
Minimum Salary: $200,000
Maximum Salary: $290,000 (base salary only; does not include other compensation or benefits).
We should not include Benefits or Schedule sections.
Make sure no extra markdown. Just HTML fragment.
Check for duplicate lines: none.
Check for boilerplate: we omitted VP Expectations and Barclays Values. Might be considered substantive but maybe okay. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we omit those, we are summarizing away detail (the VP Expectations and Barclays Values). Are they substantive? They are generic but still part of posting. However they might be considered boilerplate (like corporate values). The instruction only mentions removing cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. It does not mention removing corporate values or VP Expectations. So maybe we should keep them. But they are quite long and generic; but they are part of the posting. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include them. However they might be considered boilerplate but not listed. Safer to include them as part of About the role or Responsibilities? Could add a section "Expectations" but we only allowed headings from list. Could incorporate into About the role paragraph or Responsibilities as prose.
We could add a paragraph under About the role that includes the VP Expectations and Barclays Values. But that would be a lot of text; still okay.
Let's incorporate the VP Expectations and Barclays Values into About the role as a paragraph after the initial description.
We need to keep it concise but preserve all detail. We'll include the VP Expectations bullet points? The VP Expectations section is a long paragraph describing expectations for individual contributor role. We'll include that as prose.
Also Barclays Values and Mindset.
Thus About the role will have multiple paragraphs.
Let's craft:
