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: Overview (About Business Development) maybe "About the role". Responsibilities list. Qualifications (Education And Experience Required). Also "Compensation And Total Rewards Package" includes pay range and benefits. Also "Working Conditions" includes schedule (hybrid on-site presence). So we can map: - About the role: overview paragraph about Business Development Specialist role. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet points under Responsibilities). Should be

• . - Qualifications: list of qualifications (the bullet points under Qualifications). Could also include Education And Experience Required as part of qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicitly separate; but we could combine qualifications and skills? The instruction: Use headings only when posting has real specific content. There's a list of qualifications (skills). Could treat that as Qualifications section. Could also have Skills section if we separate but better to have one Qualifications section that includes both. - Benefits: The posting mentions "comprehensive health and well-being benefits, personal and professional development, career growth opportunities and a collegial and supportive culture." That's benefits. Also "Total Rewards package". So we can include Benefits section. - Pay: The posting includes pay ranges for Boston and New York. So include Pay section. - Schedule: Working Conditions mentions hybrid on-site presence required. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like equal opportunity employer etc. Also remove navigation etc. We need to preserve all substantive information.

We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details. Let's extract content. About Ropes & Gray: The firm description maybe not needed for role? The instruction: About the role section should contain overview of role. The posting includes "Overview About Business Development at Ropes & Gray:" and then description.

  Make sure to preserve all details. No extra sections. Let's craft overview paragraph: Use the text from "Overview About Business Development at Ropes & Gray:" plus maybe the first paragraph about Ropes & Gray? The instruction: About the role section should contain overview of role. The firm description may be considered background but not role-specific. However we could include it as part of about the role? The instruction says "About the role" heading for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we should put the overview of the role, not the firm description. The overview paragraph starts after "Overview About Business Development at Ropes & Gray:" and includes: "The Business Development department’s commercial objective is to grow firm revenue and take market share, grow existing client relationships, and develop new client relationships in alignment with firm and practice goals and our industry and client teams. Business development works in collaboration with partners, other attorneys and business support colleagues to achieve these objectives and is part of a broader business support organization in a collaborative work environment. The business development team is a specialist business support function with a range of offerings focused on business development in the firm’s practice groups. The Business Development Specialist (BDS) will be an integral member of the Business Development Team. The BDS will work under the direction of the Business Development Manager, Strategic Transactions to provide strategic, commercial, and practical support on the implementation of strategic and commercial business and client development priorities. The BDS is expected to collaborate closely with business development and other colleagues across all global offices to support the development and execution of integrated marketing and business development plans that increase the firm’s brand, visibility, attract new clients, and drive client satisfaction and loyalty." We'll use that as About the role. Now responsibilities list: need to ensure we capture each bullet exactly as in text. Let's copy them. I'll list them: 1.
