We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Need to parse job description. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "No calls or agencies please." etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The first paragraph: "Emerson is seeking an Associate General Counsel, Contracts, to lead the Contract Services function supporting all Business Units across the Americas World Area, with primary responsibility for English-language sales pursuits. Provides strategic contract guidance, legal support, and risk management expertise while operating independently on complex commercial matters. You will oversee a team of Contracts Counsels and Practitioners, ensuring effective contract negotiation, compliance, and business partnership." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: The list after "In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:" includes many bullet-like sentences. We need to put them in
  • . Let's extract each responsibility: 1. Reviews, drafts and negotiates agreements and transaction documents in compliance with applicable policies and legal and ethical standards, without supervision, including in: - Responding, within established guidelines, to customers’ RFP/RFQs, vendor qualification documents and contractual requests; - Drafting and negotiating with customers, appropriate contractual language to reflect the business interests and policies of the parties; 2.

Recruits direct staff members and assists in the recruitment of other Contract Services personnel within the region; 8.

Research information on existing agreements and contractual programs, assisting with analysis and compiling data for reports; 13. Provides contract-related guidance to Sales, Project Management and other stakeholders; 14. Legal research; 15. Provides independent legal advice and interpretation of legal matters, including the application of law; 16. Provides direction to outside counsel on routine matters. We need to keep them as list items. Some have sub-bullets; we can flatten or keep nested? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Probably just a flat list; we can include sub-items as separate
    • as well. - Requirements: The "Who You Are:" section lists personal attributes: "You readily distinguish between what's relevant and what's unimportant to make sense of complex situations. You deliver messages in a clear, compelling, and concise manner. You view talent development as an organizational imperative. You navigate the political complexities of the organization easily. You anticipate customer needs and provide services that are beyond customer expectations." These are more like competencies, could be under Skills or Requirements. But we have a separate "Requirements" heading for mandatory qualifications? The posting has "For This Role, You Will Need:" which lists mandatory qualifications: 8+ years experience, Law Degree and licensed to practice law in US or Emerson applicable jurisdiction, Strong Coaching & mentoring skills, Intermediate MS Office skills, Excellent oral and written English language skills, Excellent negotiation skills, Comprehensive knowledge of Contract law & principles, Commercial provisions such as warranty, liquidated damages/penalties, payment & freight terms, documentary credits and bank guarantees/sureties, Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now and in the future. That's likely Requirements. - Qualifications: "Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:" includes 3+ years supervisory experience, Completion of IACCM Advanced Contract and Commercial Management (CCM) Practitioner. - Skills: Might be overlapping; but we have many skill mentions: Strong Coaching & mentoring skills, Intermediate MS Office skills, Excellent oral and written English language skills, Excellent negotiation skills, Comprehensive knowledge of Contract law & principles, Commercial provisions..., etc. Could put under Skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we treat "Requirements" as mandatory qualifications, "Qualifications" as preferred, and "Skills" as skill set (maybe combine). However we must only include sections that have real specific content. We have content for each. - Benefits: The posting includes benefits description: "Our compensation philosophy is simple: we pay a competitive base salary, within the local market in which we operate, and reward performance during our annual merit review process. The starting salary for this role is $148,000 - $211,400 annually, commensurate with the skills, talent, capabilities and experience each candidate brings to a role. At Emerson, we prioritize a workplace where every employee is valued, respected, and empowered to grow. We foster an environment that encourages innovation, collaboration, and diverse perspectives—because we know that great ideas come from great teams. Our commitment to ongoing career development and growing an inclusive culture ensures you have the support to thrive. Whether through mentorship, training, or leadership opportunities, we invest in your success so you can make a lasting impact. We believe diverse teams, working together are key to driving growth and delivering business results. We recognize the importance of employee wellbeing. We prioritize providing flexible, competitive benefits plans to meet you and your family’s physical, mental, financial, and social needs. We provide a variety of medical insurance plans, with dental and vision coverage, Employee Assistance Program, 401(k), tuition reimbursement, employee resource groups, recognition, and much more. Our culture offers flexible time off plans, including paid parental leave (maternal and paternal), vacation and holiday leave." We need to separate Pay and Benefits and Schedule. Pay: The salary range $148,000 - $211,400 annually. That's specific. So we should have a Pay section with that. Benefits: The rest about medical insurance, dental/vision, EAP, 401(k), tuition reimbursement, employee resource groups, recognition, flexible time off plans including paid parental leave, vacation and holiday leave. Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. No mention of work schedule (e.g., full-time, hours). So we should NOT create a Schedule section because no specific content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to decide what goes into Skills. Could extract skill-related items from Requirements and maybe from Who You Are. But we already have Requirements covering mandatory qualifications (experience, degree, license, etc). Skills could be things like: Strong Coaching & mentoring skills, Intermediate MS Office skills, Excellent oral and written English language skills, Excellent negotiation skills, Comprehensive knowledge of Contract law & principles, Commercial provisions such as warranty, liquidated damages/penalties, payment & freight terms, documentary credits and bank guarantees/sureties. Also maybe "You readily distinguish between what's relevant and what's unimportant..." etc. Those are more like competencies; could be under Skills. We must avoid duplication: If we put those under Skills, we should not repeat them under Requirements. But Requirements already includes many of those as mandatory qualifications. Actually the "For This Role, You Will Need:" list includes: 8+ years experience, Law Degree and licensed, Strong Coaching & mentoring skills, Intermediate MS Office skills, Excellent oral and written English language skills, Excellent negotiation skills, Comprehensive knowledge of Contract law & principles, Commercial provisions..., Authorized to work in US without sponsorship. Those are both qualifications and skills. So we could treat that entire list as Requirements (mandatory). Then Qualifications (preferred) separate. Then Skills maybe not needed if we already covered. But we need to decide: The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. However we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can omit Skills if no distinct content beyond what's already in Requirements/Qualifications. But we need to check if there is any skill content not captured elsewhere. The "Who You Are:" section includes personal attributes: ability to distinguish relevant info, clear communication, talent development, navigating political complexities, anticipate customer needs. Those could be considered skills/competencies. They are not in Requirements or Qualifications. So we could put those under Skills. Thus: - Requirements: mandatory qualifications (experience, degree, license, etc.) - Qualifications: preferred qualifications (supervisory experience, IACCM CCM Practitioner) - Skills: personal attributes/competencies from "Who You Are:" plus maybe any other skill not covered. Let's extract "Who You Are:" items: 1. You readily distinguish between what's relevant and what's unimportant to make sense of complex situations. 2. You deliver messages in a clear, compelling, and concise manner. 3. You view talent development as an organizational imperative. 4. You navigate the political complexities of the organization easily. 5. You anticipate customer needs and provide services that are beyond customer expectations. These are good for Skills. Now Benefits: we need to list benefits as
      • . Let's extract: - variety of medical insurance plans, with dental and vision coverage - Employee Assistance Program - 401(k) - tuition reimbursement - employee resource groups - recognition - flexible time off plans, including paid parental leave (maternal and paternal), vacation and holiday leave Also mention "We prioritize providing flexible, competitive benefits plans to meet you and your family’s physical, mental, financial, and social needs." Could be a prose

        then list. Pay: salary range $148,000 - $211,400 annually. Now About the role: we have a paragraph. Now Responsibilities: list as

        • . We need to ensure we capture all responsibilities without losing detail. Let's craft the HTML. We'll output:
