RemoteRemoteMarketingPart-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Per Scholas" and then "Vice President, Curriculum Design & Development" etc. The instructions: 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. So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content: About Per Scholas (mission, etc). Then "Who We Are Looking For" (description). Then "What You’ll Do" (responsibilities). Then "What You’ll Bring to Us" (qualifications). Then "Benefits & Perks". Also there is some metadata like location eligibility, remote, travel etc. Should we include a short paragraph for metadata? Probably include a

for location eligibility and remote etc. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Benefits we have details: Holidays & PTO, etc. So we can include Benefits section. Pay and Schedule not present, so omit. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need to convert paragraphs into list items? The "What You’ll Do" contains multiple bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually it's paragraphs with headings like "Product Strategy and Portfolio Leadership", then sentences. We could treat each major heading as a list item? But instructions: use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the duties into a list. Probably each major duty as
    • . Similarly qualifications as list. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the text content, maybe as paragraphs inside
    • ? Could embed paragraphs inside
    • . That's okay. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. So we can start with maybe? Not required but we can just output headings and content. We need to use

      for section headings. So we will have headings like "About Per Scholas", "Who We Are Looking For", "What You’ll Do", "What You’ll Bring to Us", "Benefits & Perks". Also maybe "Location and Modality" as a short paragraph? Could be part of About? But we can include a

      after the heading for metadata. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have a heading for "Vice President, Product Design & Development". Good. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content: About Per Scholas: first paragraph about mission, 30 years, etc. Then second paragraph about states eligibility: "Per Scholas candidates must reside in one of the following states, provided the position does not carry a specific office location requirement: AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, MD, MA, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TX, WA." Also earlier there is "Modality: Remote; must comply with Per Scholas’ office and remote-work policies Travel: 0–10%, as needed and with prior approval". So we can combine location eligibility and remote/travel into a paragraph. Who We Are Looking For: paragraph describing seeking strategic VP etc. What You’ll Do: multiple sections with headings. We'll turn each major heading into a list item. List items: - Product Strategy and Portfolio Leadership: description paragraphs. - Curriculum Discovery, Design and Development: description. - Team and Talent Leadership: description. - Quality, Standards and Governance: description. - Cross-Functional Leadership and Launch Readiness: description. - Measurement and Continuous Improvement: description. - Systems and Operational Excellence: description. We need to keep the text inside each

    • . Could wrap each description in

      inside

    • . What You’ll Bring to Us: Professional Qualifications list (bullet-like). We'll turn each bullet into
    • inside a
        . Also Preferred Qualifications list. We need to keep the text exactly as given, but we can format as list items. Benefits & Perks: description about holidays, PTO, wellness hours, vacation accrual. We'll turn into list items maybe. Let's extract Benefits text: "Per Scholas offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, financial well-being, and overall quality of life!Holidays & PTO: Full-Time Per Scholas team members enjoy over 40 days of paid time off each year through a mix of holidays, vacation, and sick/personal time! All employees are eligible for Holiday pay upon hire (a total of 22 holidays annually, including a week off for Independence day and a week before the New Year). Full-Time Benefits Eligible employees also receive 80 Wellness Hours to use for Sick, Safe, or Personal reasons and accrue Vacation at a rate of 8 hours at the beginning of every month, supporting rest, recharge, and work-life balance. V" It ends abruptly with "V". Probably cut off. We'll keep as is. We'll make list items: maybe each sentence as
      • . But we can just put the whole paragraph inside

        . However instruction: use

        • for any list of benefits. So we should list each benefit as
        • . Let's split: - Holidays & PTO: Full-Time Per Scholas team members enjoy over 40 days of paid time off each year through a mix of holidays, vacation, and sick/personal time! All employees are eligible for Holiday pay upon hire (a total of 22 holidays annually, including a week off for Independence day and a week before the New Year). - Full-Time Benefits Eligible employees also receive 80 Wellness Hours to use for Sick, Safe, or Personal reasons and accrue Vacation at a rate of 8 hours at the beginning of every month, supporting rest, recharge, and work-life balance. We'll ignore the trailing "V". Now produce HTML. Structure:
