Assistant General Counsel, Litigation

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: description about dynamic environment, flexible hybrid work arrangement, tools, etc. That could be "About the role". Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" -> Responsibilities. Then "Education And Work Experience Requirements" -> Requirements/Qualifications. Then "Additional/Important Skillsets" -> Skills. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule content. There's mention of flexible hybrid work arrangement (maybe schedule?), but schedule is not explicit. Benefits not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for job title. We'll include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications? Actually we can combine Requirements and Qualifications maybe but we need to follow instruction: use headings for those sections if content exists. The posting has "Education And Work Experience Requirements" and also "Additional/Important Skillsets". Could treat "Education And Work Experience Requirements" as Requirements (or Qualifications). And "Additional/Important Skillsets" as Skills. We could also have a Qualifications section maybe overlapping. But we should not create thin sections. Perhaps we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But instruction says use headings for those specific headings if content exists. We have content for Requirements (education/experience). We have content for Skills. We could also have Qualifications maybe same as Requirements; but we could omit Qualifications to avoid duplication. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we can put education/experience under Requirements heading, and skills under Skills heading. No Qualifications heading needed. Also we might include a short paragraph for hybrid work arrangement under About the role. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove application instructions (apply online today). Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove physical requirements? That's substantive? It's about physical requirements; could be included maybe under Requirements? But it's not education/experience. Could be part of Requirements? Might be better to include under Requirements or maybe a separate section? There's no heading for Physical Requirements in allowed list; we could fold into Requirements or maybe into a

under Responsibilities? Probably better to include under Requirements as it's a requirement. But we should preserve all substantive information; we can include it in a

under Requirements. Also need to remove lines about SAFE ACT etc. That's also a requirement (compliance). Could be included under Requirements. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details. Let's extract content: About the role: first paragraph: "If you would enjoy working in a dynamic environment and are looking for an opportunity to become part of a stellar team of professionals dedicated to service, we invite you to apply online today. This position offers a flexible hybrid work arrangement, allowing employees to balance in-office collaboration with the benefits of remote work. We provide the necessary tools and technology to ensure seamless productivity, whether you're working from home or the office." We should remove "apply online today" (application instruction). Also maybe remove "If you would enjoy working..."? That's fine. Responsibilities: list of duties under "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" with subheadings: Litigation Management & Strategy, Regulatory Response, Legal Process & Investigations Support, Legal Operations & Advisory Support. Each has bullet-like sentences. We need to convert to
