We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of firm and role. We need headings for sections present: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay". We must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. Must not create sections with filler. Must include only sections with real content. We have content: Firm description (first paragraph). Then "We are seeking a results-oriented candidate..." that's about role. Then "The Business Development Specialist will be responsible for supporting JL’s Business Development team..." then list of essential functions (duties). Then "Qualifications/Skills Required" list. Then "Misc Job Details" includes salary ranges per state. Then benefits list. Then EEO boilerplate (remove). Also "Jackson Lewis offers a competitive benefits package..." includes benefits. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe combine firm description and role overview). Responsibilities (essential functions). Qualifications (maybe combine qualifications/skills). Skills (maybe separate but we can combine). Benefits. Pay. We must not create sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary ranges, so Pay section is valid. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Business Development Specialist". Use

for each section. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from essential functions, qualifications, salary ranges per state, benefits list. We must remove boilerplate: equal employment opportunity, etc. Also remove "Misc Job Details" heading? We'll incorporate salary info under Pay section. We must not include application instructions. Let's extract prose: Firm description: "Focused on employment and labor law since 1958, Jackson Lewis P.C.’s 1,000+ attorneys located in major cities nationwide consistently identify and respond to new ways workplace law intersects business. We help employers develop proactive strategies, strong policies and business-oriented solutions to cultivate high-functioning workforces that are engaged and stable, and share our clients’ goals to emphasize belonging and respect for the contributions of every employee. The Firm is ranked in the First Tier nationally in the category of Labor and Employment Litigation, as well as in both Employment Law and Labor Law on behalf of Management, in the U.S. News - Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms”." Then role overview: "We are seeking a results-oriented candidate who has demonstrated drive, dedication, professionalism, and a positive attitude to join a team with an exciting opportunity for growth." Then description of Business Development Specialist responsibilities: "The Business Development Specialist will be responsible for supporting JL’s Business Development team, which includes a team dedicated to RFP responses, proposals, and pitches, as well as a team of business development managers who are responsible for the development and execution of strategic BD efforts across the firm’s offices, practices, and industries. The ideal candidate for this role thrives in a team atmosphere yet is also able to work independently, takes pride in their work, and is committed to a creative, efficient and additive approach to the business development team’s day-to-day needs." Then essential functions list (bulleted). Let's capture each: - Support the proposal team in coordinating and executing the proposal response process from assignment through submission, including organizing materials, tracking requests, deadlines and other pertinent information, and assisting with final production. - Prepare initial drafts, edit, and proofread materials to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to firm branding and style guidelines. - Collaborate with proposal team members, attorneys, business development managers, and other internal stakeholders to gather information and support the development of tailored client-facing materials. - Maintain and organize proposal content, experience information, and related resources within the firm’s central proposal repository and related databases. - Support business development managers with the execution of strategic business development initiatives across offices, practices, and industries. - Research and compile information from internal firm resources and business development materials to support pitches, events, client opportunities, and strategic initiatives. - Coordinate and track business development activities, including pitches, proposals, events, sponsorships, conferences, and related follow-up efforts. - Draft reports, presentations, marketing materials, mailing lists, and other business development collateral. - Assist with lateral integration and onboarding activities, including coordinating materials, tracking progress, and supporting related business development efforts. - Contribute to the continuous improvement of proposal and business development processes, templates, and resources to support efficient and high-quality client service. - Stay informed on industry trends, market developments, and business development best practices to support team and firm initiatives. Qualifications/Skills Required list: - 2-4 years of business development, marketing, proposals, or related experience in a law firm or other professional services environment preferred. - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience. - Strong writing, editing, proofreading, and organizational skills, with close attention to detail. - Excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work effectively with attorneys, business development professionals, and other internal stakeholders. - Ability to manage multiple assignments simultaneously, prioritize competing deadlines, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment. - Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment while also handling assignments independently. - Strong research and analytical skills, including the ability to compile and organize information from multiple internal resources. - Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. - Experience with CRM and/or proposal management tools preferred. - Familiarity with proposal management and procurement portals (Persuit, Ariba, Bonfire, JusticeBid, etc.) preferred. - Positive, proactive, and client-service-oriented approach with a willingness to learn and contribute to team success. - Flexibility to manage occasional time-sensitive assignments outside of standard business hours, as needed. Pay details: Salary ranges per state: - NY: expected salary range $32.69 and $42.91. - NJ: same $32.69 and $42.91. - IL: $29.93 and $39.25. - CA: $32.69 and $42.91. We need to present Pay section with that info. Could be a

    summarizing ranges per state, or a

    • for each state. Since it's a list, better to use
      • . Benefits list: "Jackson Lewis offers a competitive benefits package that includes: Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance 401(k) Retirement Plan Flexible Spending and Health Savings Account Firm-paid holidays, vacation and sick time Employee assistance program and other firm benefits." We need to preserve all items. Could format as
        • each benefit. Now we need to decide sections: About the role (firm description + role overview). Responsibilities (essential functions). Qualifications (maybe combine qualifications and skills). Benefits. Pay. We could also have a Skills section separate but we can combine qualifications and skills into one section "Qualifications/Skills". The instruction says use headings like Skills, Qualifications etc. We can have both if content distinct. But we have qualifications list that includes both experience/education and skills. Could split: Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (skills). But to avoid thin sections, maybe combine into one "Qualifications and Skills". However instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have one section "Qualifications and Skills". Use

          Qualifications and Skills

          and then
          • for each item. But we need to ensure we don't lose any detail. We'll include all items. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:
