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. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into short p or drop it. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Intro paragraph about BMS culture: "At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask..." This is about the role? Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But we need to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content goes where. The posting includes: - Description of role: "The Counsel, Global Product Development provides strategic, regulatory, and transactional counsel across the Company’s pharmaceutical and biologics product development and clinical supply activities. This attorney will support some of the Company’s most significant transactions, including complex, high-value alliance and collaboration agreements. Decisions about product development strategy and how to turn a newly discovered molecule into a manufacturable, testable, regulatory-approvable medicine, sit at the center of how BMS delivers medicines to patients, and this attorney will be a trusted partner to senior business leaders as those decisions are made. The role sits within the Product Development & Supply (PDS) Law team, a collaborative and dynamic group within the Global Drug Development, Manufacturing & Corporate Transactions (GDMCT) legal team at BMS. The PDS Law team provides comprehensive legal support for internal and external manufacturing operations, product development, supply chain, human rights, customs and trade, engineering, real estate, and EOHSS. The broader GDMCT legal team also supports Drug Development, Global Quality, and transactional support across the enterprise. This attorney will work alongside colleagues with deep subject matter expertise across manufacturing, quality, regulatory, and transactional practices, on work that is directly connected to the delivery of medicines to patients." That's role description; could be "About the role". Then bullet list of responsibilities: Starting with "Serve as the lead legal advisor to Global Product Development, counseling senior executives on business strategies and complex and high-value transactions across the pharmaceutical and biologics pipeline." Then many bullet-like sentences each starting with a verb: Negotiate, structure, and draft...; Support legal due diligence...; Draft and negotiate secondary agreements...; Negotiate, structure, and draft material business transactions...; Collaborate cross-functionally...; Partner with IP colleagues...; Lead process optimization...; Collaborate across the Law & Policy Department... These are responsibilities. Then qualifications: "The successful candidate brings excellent legal judgment, strong business development and transactional skill, and the ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, practical advice for senior executives, always prioritizing the urgent needs of patients." That's more like qualifications/skills. Then "Qualifications" heading in posting: "Qualifications JD (or equivalent) and admission in good standing to at least one U.S. state bar; qualified, or able to become qualified, to practice in-house in New Jersey. 6 or more years of legal experience across law firm, in-house, and/or government roles, including experience in the pharmaceutical or life sciences industry. Experience drafting and negotiating complex product development and commercial agreements relevant to product development and supply (e.g., alliance, collaboration, licensing, and merger and acquisition agreements; drug development, procurement, manufacturing, laboratory, and research agreements) is preferred. Familiarity and experience with intellectual property law is preferred. Demonstrated ability to build strong relationships and to advise and influence senior executives on high-impact legal and business matters. Excellent judgment and objectivity, with strong attention to detail and the ability to navigate complex legal issues. Excellent verbal and written communication and collaboration skills; proactive, with the ability to independently prioritize and manage multiple projects and clients. Highly collaborative, with the ability to earn the trust of others, build productive internal and external relationships, and operate effectively in a multi-cultural, matrixed environment. Pragmatic and solutions-oriented, with a commitment to an inclusive workplace and superior personal integrity and ethics." That's qualifications and skills combined. Then "We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway." That's a note. Then compensation overview: "Compensation Overview Madison - Giralda - NJ - US: $202,050 - $244,831 Princeton - NJ - US: $202,050 - $244,831 The starting pay range(s) listed above is for full-time employees (FTE). You may also be eligible for additional discretionary incentive cash and stock opportunities. We determine starting pay thoughtfully – carefully considering the nature of the role, required skills, work location, schedule and the knowledge and experience you bring. Final compensation is guided by pay equity principles and applicable employment laws. Compensation programs are reviewed on an ongoing basis and may be adjusted over time to reflect evolving market factors, and individual, team or Company performance." That's Pay. Then benefits: "Benefits Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans then in effect, you may be eligible to participate in our comprehensive benefit plans – including wellbeing support, retirement and financial protection benefits, and insurance offerings (medical, dental, vision, life and disability). U.S.-based exempt employees are eligible for Flexible Time Off (FTO), which provides paid time off without a set accrual limit, subject to manager approval, along with 11 paid company holidays each year.

Eligible employees also enjoy an annual Global Shutdown between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. U.S.-based job seekers can explore full benefit offerings at https://careers.bms.com/benefits" That's Benefits. Then "How We Work" about work models: not required heading; we could ignore or maybe include under Schedule? But schedule not given. There's no explicit schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule; only mentions work models but not schedule. So we omit Schedule. We also need to include About the role maybe includes intro paragraph and role description. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe we separate qualifications vs requirements? The posting has "Qualifications" heading; we could treat that as Requirements. But we also have a separate "Skills" section maybe for soft skills. However we have limited headings; we can combine qualifications and skills into Qualifications section, or split into Requirements (hard requirements) and Skills (soft skills). The posting includes both hard (JD, bar admission, years experience) and soft (judgment, communication, collaborative). We could put hard requirements under Requirements, and soft skills under Skills. Thus: - About the role: intro paragraph + role description (the paragraph about role sits within PDS Law team etc.) - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties (the list starting with Serve as the lead legal advisor... etc.) - Requirements: JD or equivalent, admission to US state bar, qualified to practice in-house in NJ, 6+ years legal experience, experience in pharma/life sciences, experience drafting/complex agreements, familiarity with IP law (preferred). Could also include "experience drafting and negotiating complex product development and commercial agreements ... is preferred." and "Familiarity and experience with intellectual property law is preferred." Those are preferences but still requirements. - Skills: excellent legal judgment, strong business development and transactional skill, ability to translate complex legal issues into clear practical advice, demonstrated ability to build strong relationships, advise/influence senior executives, excellent judgment and objectivity, strong attention to detail, navigate complex legal issues, excellent verbal/written communication and collaboration skills, proactive, ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects/clients, highly collaborative, earn trust, build relationships, operate in multicultural matrixed environment, pragmatic and solutions-oriented, commitment to inclusive workplace, superior personal integrity and ethics. - Benefits: as described. - Pay: compensation overview. We should not include Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like "We hire for skills and capabilities..." maybe we can include as a note in About the role or Skills? It's not a requirement; could be omitted as it's not substantive? It's a statement encouraging applicants; could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO; but it's a generic encouragement. Might be okay to keep but not required. Safer to omit as it's not specific info about role. Also remove "Compensation Overview" heading? We'll use

Pay

and put the content. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the pay ranges exactly: Madison - Giralda - NJ - US: $202,050 - $244,831 and Princeton - NJ - US: $202,050 - $244,831. Also mention starting pay range for FTE, eligibility for discretionary incentive cash and stock, how pay determined, final compensation guided by pay equity, programs reviewed. Similarly benefits: include all details. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

Counsel, Global Product Development

. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can drop them or fold into short p. The posting ends with "R1606357 : Counsel, Global Product Development". We can drop that or put in a p as metadata. Probably drop it. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus final HTML:
