We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.

The position also plays a role in external relations, volunteer engagement, and donor support, ensuring grassroots power and philanthropic support are aligned with the organization’s mission to improve patient outcomes and advance health equity. **This is a remote role**"
We need to extract essential functions sections: Strategic Leadership & Legislative Impact (40%), Team Management & Development (30%), Volunteer Engagement & Mobilization (10%), Development & External Relations (10%), Senior Leadership Team (10%). Those are responsibilities.
Then EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS: list of qualifications.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITY: list of skills.
TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS: travel up to 30% etc.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: ability to travel.
Pay: "The starting rate is $190,000 to $220,000. The final candidate's relevant experience/skills will be considered before an offer is extended. Actual starting pay will vary based on non-discriminatory factors including, but not limited to, geographic location, experience, skills, specialty, and education."
Benefits: "ACS CAN provides staff a generous paid time off policy; medical, dental, retirement benefits, wellness programs, and professional development programs to enhance staff skills. Further details on our benefits can be found on our careers site at: jobs.cancer.org/benefits."
Schedule: Not explicitly given. Travel requirement maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule. There's no explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, hours. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not. So omit Schedule.
We also have remote role note: "**This is a remote role**". That could be part of About the role or maybe a separate note. Could be included in About the role paragraph.
We need sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (maybe experience/qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe education?), Skills (knowledge, skills, ability), Benefits, Pay. The instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly.
We have experience/qualifications combined; we could split: Requirements (maybe experience) and Qualifications (education). But we need to decide.
The posting has "EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS:" then bullet list: Bachelor’s degree..., Minimum 15+ years..., Proven success..., Experience in volunteer engagement..., Experience with high-level stakeholder engagement..., Deep understanding..., Willingness to travel...
We could treat that as Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education). But the heading list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. We could put education under Qualifications, experience under Requirements.
Then "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITY:" list: Passion..., Experience in grassroots organizing..., Experience with budget management..., Ability to navigate..., Exceptional strategic thinking..., Commitment to diversity...
That's Skills.
Benefits: as described.
Pay: as described.
We also have travel requirements and physical requirements; maybe those could be part of Responsibilities? But they are separate. Could be included under Responsibilities? Not exactly. Could be omitted? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Travel requirements is specific content. Should we create a Travel section? Not in the allowed headings list. The allowed headings are only those listed. So we must fit travel info into one of those sections, maybe under Responsibilities or Requirements. Probably under Responsibilities as part of role expectations. But we already have Responsibilities covering essential functions. Travel could be added as a bullet under Responsibilities? Might be okay.
Physical requirements similar.
But we must not invent sections not listed. So we can incorporate travel and physical requirements into Responsibilities or maybe under Requirements (like willingness to travel). The posting includes "Willingness to travel frequently across regions for team support, legislative meetings, and stakeholder engagement." That's under EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS. Also TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS section: up to 30% travel. Physical requirements: ability to travel by car, train, or plane.
We could put those under Requirements (since they are requirements). Or under Responsibilities (since they are job expectations). I'd put them under Requirements as they are requirements.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
and content
or
- . We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Vice President, Regional Advocacy. We need to preserve all substantive information. Do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. We need to include all details from posting, except boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). The posting includes "We are a proud equal opportunity employer." That's EEO boilerplate; should be removed. Also "Further details on our benefits can be found on our careers site at: jobs.cancer.org/benefits." That's not boilerplate; it's a link to benefits details; we can keep it as part of benefits description. We must not include application instructions (none present). No duplicated lines. Now craft sections. About the role: combine intro paragraphs up to "**This is a remote role**". Include that note. Let's extract: "The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is the nation's leading cancer advocacy organization. Together with our charitable partner, the American Cancer Society, we work in Congress, state legislatures and local jurisdictions to support evidence-based policy and legislative solutions designed to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. The Vice President, Regional Advocacy is a senior leader responsible for driving legislative and regulatory progress across approximately 25 states and developing and overseeing a high-performing team of 60+ advocacy professionals. This role leads strategic efforts to secure evidence-based state and local legislative wins, defend patient protections, and support federal campaigns. The position also plays a critical role in external relations, volunteer engagement, and donor development, ensuring grassroots power and philanthropic support are aligned with the organization’s mission to improve patient outcomes and advance health equity. This role develops, plans, and manages a budget for regions and state operations. The Vice President, Regional Advocacy serves on the organization’s Senior Leadership team (SLT). Develops and manages budget for organization. Senior Vice President, State & Local Advocacy plays a unique role in driving organizational priorities and plays a key connective role with OneACS colleagues Enterprise-wide. This position serves on the organization’s senior leadership team. The position also plays a role in external relations, volunteer engagement, and donor support, ensuring grassroots power and philanthropic support are aligned with the organization’s mission to improve patient outcomes and advance health equity. **This is a remote role**" Note there is some repetition; we need to preserve all substantive information but not duplicate lines? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. There is duplication: "Develops and manages budget for organization." appears twice? Actually first: "This role develops, plans, and manages a budget for regions and state operations. The Vice President, Regional Advocacy serves on the organization’s Senior Leadership team (SLT).Develops and manages budget for organization." Then later: "Senior Vice President, State & Local Advocacy plays a unique role..." That's a different sentence. There's also "The position also plays a role in external relations, volunteer engagement, and donor support..." which is similar to earlier. Might be considered duplicated. We need to decide what counts as duplicated lines. Probably they mean exact duplicate sentences. We see "The position also plays a critical role in external relations, volunteer engagement, and donor development..." and later "The position also plays a role in external relations, volunteer engagement, and donor support..." Slightly different but similar. Might be considered duplicated? Not exact. Safer to keep both? But instruction says remove duplicated lines. Could interpret as remove exact duplicates. We'll keep both as they are not exact duplicates. But there is also "Develops and manages budget for organization." appears only once? Actually appears after SLT sentence: "...serves on the organization’s Senior Leadership team (SLT).Develops and manages budget for organization." That's one. Then later not repeated. So fine. We'll keep the paragraph as is but maybe tighten. Now Responsibilities: we have essential functions with percentages. We'll list each as bullet points. We need to preserve percentages? Yes, preserve all substantive information. So include percentages.
