We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description.
We have Title: Vice President, Market Strategy and Partnerships. Employee Status: Full-Time. Salary: Grade 10 Starting range of $175,000 – $227,000 | Detroit Starting range of $160,000 – $210,000 | Grand Rapids. Reports to: Chief Regional and Markets Officer. Department: Regional and Market Leadership. Location: Detroit or Grand Rapids Hybrid: In office: T/W | WFH: M/Th/F. Department Function description. Then The Organization description. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion paragraph. Basic Job Function description. Regional Context. Requirements Core Responsibilities (list). Enterprise Integration & Opportunity Development (list). External Leadership & Institutional Relationships (list). Policy, Capital & Ecosystem Alignment (list). Organizational & Team Leadership (list). Demonstrates a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Note about other duties. Performance Measures list.
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Skills (maybe skills), Benefits (if any), Pay (if salary given), Schedule (if hybrid schedule given). We must not invent sections lacking content.
We have salary info: Starting range for Detroit and Grand Rapids. So Pay section can include that.
Schedule: Hybrid: In office: T/W | WFH: M/Th/F. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: Not explicitly mentioned. There's no benefits description. So we should not include Benefits section.
Qualifications: Might be implied in Requirements? The posting includes "Requirements Core Responsibilities:" but that's actually responsibilities. There's no explicit qualifications list. However there is "Requirements" heading in the text: "Requirements Core Responsibilities:" then list. Actually the text says "Requirements Core Responsibilities:" then bullet list. So that is responsibilities. There's no separate qualifications. Could treat that as Responsibilities. There's also "Demonstrates a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion." That could be part of Requirements or Skills. But we can include a Skills section for EDI commitment? Might be thin. Better to include Responsibilities (the list) and maybe Requirements (if we can extract any explicit qualifications like experience, education). Not present. So we may skip Requirements.
We have "About the role": could be the Basic Job Function paragraph plus maybe The Organization description. We'll combine into About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all paragraphs and lists.
We must use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description.

We have "About the role": could be the Basic Job Function paragraph plus maybe The Organization description. We'll combine into About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all paragraphs and lists.
We must use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none). Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit boilerplate besides maybe the note about "Note: No job description can be entirely comprehensive..." That's not boilerplate but it's part of description; we should keep it? It's a note about other duties. It's substantive? It's a generic note but it's part of posting. Probably keep it as prose.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Thus sections:
- About the role (maybe combine The Organization, Basic Job Function, Regional Context, etc). But we need to avoid too thin sections. Could have one About the role covering all narrative paragraphs (excluding lists). Then Responsibilities (list of duties from Core Responsibilities etc). Then Skills (maybe EDI commitment). Then Pay (salary ranges). Then Schedule (hybrid). Possibly also include Performance Measures as a section? Could be "Performance Measures" but not in allowed headings list; allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add Performance Measures as heading unless we map to one of those. Could treat Performance Measures as part of Responsibilities? Or maybe as Requirements? Not ideal. But we must not invent headings outside allowed list. So we need to fit content into allowed headings. We can put performance measures under Responsibilities (as they are outcomes). Or under Requirements? Probably Responsibilities.
We need to include all substantive info; we can embed performance measures as a
under Responsibilities after the list.
Similarly, the note about other duties can be under Responsibilities.
Thus structure:
About the role
... (The Organization paragraph, Basic Job Function paragraph, Regional Context paragraph, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion paragraph maybe? Actually EDI could be under Skills.)
Responsibilities
- ... list items from Core Responsibilities, Enterprise Integration & Opportunity Development, External Leadership & Institutional Relationships, Policy, Capital & Ecosystem Alignment, Organizational & Team Leadership ...
... performance measures paragraph, note about other duties ...
Skills
... Demonstrates a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Promotes an environment of empathy and respect, ensures the inclusion of all team members, and will actively engage in EDI events and learning opportunities.
Pay
Salary: Grade 10 Starting range of $175,000 – $227,000 | Detroit Starting range of $160,000 – $210,000 | Grand Rapids
Schedule
Hybrid: In office: T/W | WFH: M/Th/F
We must not include Benefits section.
Check for duplication: The location info also appears in Location: Detroit or Grand Rapids Hybrid... We could include location in About the role or maybe separate but not allowed heading. Could add location in About the role paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive info: location, reports to, department, employee status full-time. Those are not in sections yet. We should include them somewhere. Could add them in About the role paragraph.
Thus About the role paragraph will include: Title (though we shouldn't repeat title as heading but can mention in paragraph), Employee Status: Full-Time, Reports to: Chief Regional and Markets Officer, Department: Regional and Market Leadership, Location: Detroit or Grand Rapids, Hybrid schedule (maybe mention but we also have Schedule section). Department Function description. The Organization paragraph. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion paragraph? Actually we moved EDI to Skills. But we could keep a brief mention in About the role? Better to keep EDI in Skills as per allowed heading.
Thus About the role includes: Employee Status, Reports to, Department, Location, Department Function, The Organization, Basic Job Function, Regional Context.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading, but we can mention it in paragraph.
Now we need to ensure we don't miss any list items. Let's extract the lists.

Note: The last two bullet points about EDI appear under Organizational & Team Leadership list. We'll extract them for Skills section.
Now performance measures:
"Performance Measures Quality of development and leadership of a high performing regional team with clear priorities, accountability, collaboration and increasing leadership capacity. In partnership with CRMO, creation of regional and market level relationship development and cultivation strategies that align IFF priorities with local conditions and opportunities. Success in cultivation of priority external relationships that strengthen IFF’s visibility, influence, and ability to advance its mission. Timely, actionable market intelligence that informs enterprise strategy and decision-making surfaced. Mission-aligned opportunities generated and, when appropriate advanced, by connecting regional needs with the appropriate IFF capabilities, partners, and resources. Ef"
The text ends abruptly "Ef". Probably truncated but we keep as is.
Note about other duties: "Note: No job description can be entirely comprehensive, and the jobholder will be expected to carry out such other duties as may be required from time to time and are broadly consistent with the job description and status of the position within the organization."
We'll include that as a paragraph under Responsibilities.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
Now craft HTML.
We'll open with About the role
