We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Position Overview, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Values, Working Conditions, Our People, etc. We need to use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should only include sections when there is real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Current WCF Employees Please apply through the 'Internal Job Postings' tab within your employee Workday account." That's application instruction, remove. Also remove "Values" maybe? Values is a heading but not in list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Values is not in that list; but we could treat as "About the role"? However we need to only use those headings. The instruction: "use

The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning examples, not exclusive? Probably we should stick to those headings. But we can also include other headings if they are meaningful? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to map content to those headings. Let's see what content we have:
- Position Overview: description of role, reporting to CEO, full-time exempt, location Sandy Utah, relocation assistance. This could go under "About the role". We'll put that.
- Responsibilities: list under Responsibilities heading.
- Qualifications: list under Qualifications heading.
- Benefits: list under Benefits heading.
- Pay: salary range given. So we need a Pay section.
- Schedule: not mentioned explicitly; it's full-time exempt, but schedule not given. We should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It says full-time exempt, but not schedule details. Might be considered schedule? Probably not enough; we should omit Schedule.
- Skills: not explicitly listed separate; qualifications include skills. Could we create Skills section? Might be redundant. Better to omit Skills if not explicit.
- About the role: we have overview.
- Requirements: maybe same as Qualifications? But we have Qualifications heading; we could also have Requirements but it's duplicate. We'll just use Qualifications.
- Also we have "Values" section: could be part of About the role or separate? Not in allowed list; maybe we can incorporate into About the role.
- Working Conditions: not in allowed list; maybe we could incorporate into About the role or omit? The instruction says we should include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't forbid other headings beyond the examples, but we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could include Working Conditions as its own section if it has substantive content. However the allowed headings list didn't include it, but the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we can use other headings if needed. But to be safe, we could map Working Conditions under About the role or maybe as its own section with heading "Working Conditions". Since it's substantive, we could include.
- Our People: also substantive about inclusive environment, EEO statement (but EEO is boilerplate to remove). The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. The "Our People" paragraph about inclusive environment is not boilerplate; we could keep that as part of About the role or separate section "Our People". Might be okay.
- The "Values" paragraph: also could be part of About the role.
We need to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, application instructions. Also remove "Current WCF Employees Please apply through the 'Internal Job Postings' tab within your employee Workday account." Also remove "Values" maybe not boilerplate but it's a statement; we can keep.
