We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The job summary is prose. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. We have job summary: "The Vice President, National Sales is responsible for leading OmniCable's National Accounts organization and driving profitable growth through strategic account development, executive customer engagement, channel expansion, and national sales execution. This role serves as the senior commercial leader for National Accounts and provides strategic oversight of OmniCable's independent representative agency network, ensuring alignment with company objectives, customer engagement strategies, and supplier growth initiatives. This role partners closely with Regional Vice Presidents, Supplier Management, Marketing, Operations, Finance, and New Product Development to translate strategic investments into profitable growth, stronger customer relationships, and consistent execution across the organization. It also serves as OmniCable's senior commercial leader for strategic account development, executive customer engagement, and expansion into non-traditional distribution channels." That's prose, could be under About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties from "Key Responsibilities" bullet points. We'll need to extract each bullet as
  • . Responsibilities sections: Leadership & Management, National Accounts Strategy, Representative Agency Network Management, Strategic Account Planning & Channel Expansion, Performance Monitoring, Budget Management. Each bullet includes multiple sentences; we can treat each bullet as a list item. We need to preserve all substantive info. Requirements: maybe "Work Experience Qualifications & Skills" includes Educational Background, Professional Experience, Preferred Skills. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map: Requirements maybe for mandatory qualifications; Qualifications maybe for preferred? But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Use Requirements for mandatory (Education, Professional Experience). Use Qualifications for Preferred Skills? Or maybe combine. But we need to include sections only when posting has real content. We have content for Education, Professional Experience, Preferred Skills. Could put them under Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred) and Skills (maybe separate). However we have also "Skills" heading; we could put Preferred Skills under Skills. Let's think: The posting includes "Work Experience Qualifications & Skills" with subheadings Educational Background, Professional Experience, Preferred Skills. So we could map: - Requirements: Educational Background (mandatory) and Professional Experience (mandatory) - Qualifications: maybe not needed; but we could put nothing? Better to omit Qualifications if no distinct content beyond Requirements. But we have Preferred Skills which could go under Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits. Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "We offer competitive compensation, incentive opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package that supports your well-being, career growth, and long-term success." Also earlier: "OmniCable offers competitive compensation, incentive opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package..." That's enough for Benefits. Pay: not specified; no salary info. So omit Pay. Schedule: not specified; only travel % but not schedule. Could we consider travel as schedule? Not exactly. The instruction: only create Schedule if posting actually states them. It mentions "Frequent travel (50–70%)". That's not a schedule like full-time/part-time. Probably omit Schedule. Thus output HTML with sections. We need to wrap each section:

    About the role

    ...

    etc. For lists:
    • ...
    . We must preserve all substantive info; not invent. Let's extract responsibilities bullets precisely: From text: Leadership & Management - Lead and develop the National Accounts organization. - Recruit, coach, and retain high-performing team members. - Provide strategic leadership and governance for OmniCable's independent representative agency network. - Ensure alignment between regional sales teams, representative agencies, and corporate growth objectives. - Establish goals, priorities, and accountability measures for the team.

Budget Management - Manage budgets associated with National Accounts and strategic growth initiatives. - Prioritize investments and resources to support growth objectives. - Ensure alignment with company financial goals. We need to keep each bullet as separate
  • . Could group under headings? The instruction only says use

    for section headings, not subheadings. So we can just have a single
      list for Responsibilities containing all bullets. That's okay. Now Requirements: Educational Background and Professional Experience. Educational Background: "Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Sales, Engineering, or a related field required. MBA or advanced business degree preferred." Professional Experience: "10+ years of sales, business development, strategic account, or commercial leadership experience. Demonstrated success leading National Accounts, Strategic Accounts, or commercial growth initiatives. Experience commercializing new products, suppliers, or market opportunities. Strong executive relationship management and negotiation skills. Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence without direct authority." We'll put these as

      paragraphs. Skills: Preferred Skills: "Knowledge of electrical distribution, national account management, representative agency networks, and related channel-to-market strategies. Strategic planning and business development expertise. Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Experience with CRM, sales analytics, and business intelligence tools." We'll put as

      . Benefits: "We offer competitive compensation, incentive opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package that supports your well-being, career growth, and long-term success." Also maybe include earlier sentence: "OmniCable offers competitive compensation, incentive opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package..." We'll combine. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:
