We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of mission, role, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse content: Location: "Remote within the U.S. except AK, DE, HI, ID, KS, KY, LA, MT, NM, ND, OK, OR, UT, VT, WV and WY". That's location info. Could be part of About the role? Could be a short paragraph. Mission description: "Rooted in our Christian faith, Bethany Christian Services works to ensure children are safe, loved, and connected through family. Across 29 states, we strengthen families, support foster care and adoption, and walk alongside refugees with compassion. Here, living out your faith means using your gifts to bring hope and make a lasting impact. Working at Bethany means joining a team of dedicated professionals with diverse skills, serving communities across the country. Together, we’re united in our Christian mission and these shared values: We’re motivated by our faith, we support one another, we champion justice, we pursue excellence, and we’re in it for the long haul." Then role description: "As a VP of Business Development, you’ll help carry this mission forward and make a meaningful impact every day." Then "How Your Role Makes a Difference" with bullet list of responsibilities (many sentences separated by semicolons). We need to turn into
  • . Then "What Will Make You Successful" with qualifications list. Then "We Invest in You" with benefits list. Also there is "Salary disclosure for residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, Washington & New York* Note: Bethany’s compensation plan accounts for geographical differentials". That's pay info but not specific numbers. It says salary disclosure for certain states, but no actual numbers. According to rules: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary disclosure for certain states, but not actual salary. It's still stating that they disclose salary per state law. Might be considered pay info. However we should not create a Pay section if only placeholder like "commensurate with experience" etc. This is not a placeholder; it's a statement about salary disclosure. Could be considered substantive. But we need to decide. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state salary disclosure for certain states, which is a statement about pay. So we could include a Pay section with that statement. However we must not include filler like "not specified". This is specific: they disclose salary for residents of those states. So we can include a Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: Not mentioned. So no Schedule section. Benefits: We have "We Invest in You" list: team environment, training, professional development, career growth, comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision), 403(b) retirement plan with employer match eligibility, generous time off (11 paid holidays, PTO Your Way, paid parental leave, separate sick and paid absence banks), access to education reimbursement, comprehensive employee assistance and wellness program, employer paid long-term disability and group term life insurance. That's benefits. Thus sections: About the role (mission + location + role overview), Responsibilities (the long list), Requirements (maybe combine qualifications?), Qualifications? The posting has "What Will Make You Successful" which includes education, experience, skills. Could be Requirements and Qualifications combined. But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can decide to put education/experience under Requirements, skills under Skills, maybe qualifications under Qualifications? However the posting lumps them together. We could split: Requirements: Master’s level degree, broad knowledge of grant writing, at least three years senior managerial experience, at least five to seven years progressive experience, experience in child/family welfare work, demonstrated success securing federal funds, demonstrated strategic thinking, excellent verbal/written communication, highly organized, ability to work with diverse stakeholders, ability to work autonomously, reliable with deadlines, confidentiality, work under pressure, commitment to professionalism, computer skills, age 21+, driver's license, MVR check, criminal history screen, subscription to Statement of Faith etc. That's many. Skills: Could be things like grant writing, strategic thinking, communication, organization, etc. But overlapping. Better to follow typical pattern: Requirements = education + experience; Qualifications = maybe certifications? Not present. Skills = specific abilities. But we can just put all under Requirements and skip Qualifications and Skills if no distinct content. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine into Requirements and maybe Skills not needed. But we need to include headings only when posting has real specific content for it. If we don't have distinct content for Qualifications or Skills, we should omit those headings. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Check if we need Qualifications? The posting says "What Will Make You Successful" which could be considered Qualifications. But we can treat that as Requirements. We'll omit Qualifications and Skills. Now craft HTML. We need

    for each section heading. Inside each section, use

    for prose,

    • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's draft About the role paragraph: include location, mission, values, role overview. Location sentence: "Remote within the U.S. except AK, DE, HI, ID, KS, KY, LA, MT, NM, ND, OK, OR, UT, VT, WV and WY". Could be its own sentence. Mission paragraph: combine the paragraphs about Christian faith, etc. Role overview: "As a VP of Business Development, you’ll help carry this mission forward and make a meaningful impact every day." We'll put them in

      tags. Responsibilities: list each duty. The original list separated by semicolons. We'll split into items.
