On-siteLegalFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview (maybe not a heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The posting has Overview, Responsibilities, Qualifications, then some extra paragraphs about company and benefits. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. Overview: we can treat as "About the role" maybe? The instruction says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map sections accordingly. Overview -> About the role (h3). Responsibilities -> Responsibilities (h3). Qualifications -> Qualifications (h3). There's also a paragraph about company and benefits: "Build your career with Lutron where you will enjoy competitive compensation and benefits while exploring many options for continued growth and education. Make a difference every day..." This mentions competitive compensation and benefits but not specific details. Since we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them (specific). It says "competitive compensation and benefits" but no specifics. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention benefits generically but not specific. Likely we should not create a Benefits section because it's not specific. Also we should not create Pay or Schedule. So we will have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually the responsibilities section lists items: Commercial Transactions, Executive Counseling, Legal Entity Governance, Mergers & Acquisitions, International Legal Support, Real Estate and Government Matters. Each is a paragraph with a bold heading? In the text they are like "Commercial Transactions Support commercial-related business transactions..." It's a sentence. We can treat each as a list item. So we will wrap responsibilities in
    • each. Qualifications: list of required and preferred. We need to preserve all substantive information. The qualifications section includes Required (list of bullet-like sentences) and Preferred (list). We'll make two sub-lists? Could just make a single list but better to separate required and preferred with headings? The instruction only says use

      for section headings, not subheadings. We could keep required and preferred as paragraphs with maybe but we should not invent headings. Could just make a
        with items, and within each item we can have the text. For preferred we could start with "Preferred" as part of the item text. That's okay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. At end there is "Lutron Electronics is an Equal Opportunity – Affirmative Action – Employer..." and "#LEC1". Remove that. Also remove navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. The posting includes a paragraph about company and benefits after qualifications. We'll keep that as part of Overview? Actually it's after qualifications, describing company and benefits. It's not part of overview but could be considered "About the company". Since we don't have a section for company, we could include it in About the role section as extra paragraph. But we must preserve all substantive information. So we can add a paragraph after the overview description. Thus About the role section will contain the overview paragraph plus the company paragraph. Let's extract Overview text: "Overview The Assistant General Counsel will serve as a senior legal leader and trusted advisor to Lutron’s executive leadership team, with ownership for a broad portfolio of commercial, corporate governance, and international legal matters. In this role, you will provide practical, business-focused counsel across commercial transactions, legal entities, board and shareholder relations, M&A, and real estate. You will help leaders anticipate risk, navigate complexity, support international growth, and build scalable legal and administrative processes. You will bring seasoned legal judgment, critical thinking, a long-term business perspective, and a systems mindset to improve how legal work gets done across a global, technology-driven manufacturing business." Then after qualifications there is: "Lutron Electronics’ position as the worldwide leader in innovative lighting control and shading solutions has enabled consistent, annual growth. Our company has cultivated a reputation of unsurpassed quality, a broad range of technologies and product offerings, and a strong commitment to servicing our worldwide customers. This has allowed the company to invest in developing new technologies and services, expand our technical capabilities and global presence, and to find and retain the best talent. Build your career with Lutron where you will enjoy competitive compensation and benefits while exploring many options for continued growth and education. Make a difference every day in our dynamic, people-centric, technology-driven organization. For more information, view our website at www.lutron.com." We should keep that as prose paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet. Responsibilities text: "Commercial Transactions Support commercial-related business transactions for the Shades, Luxury Residential and Strategic Materials business units. Provide practical legal guidance that balances business objectives, risk mitigation, and Lutron values." "Executive Counseling Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership on complex business and strategic matters with significant organizational impact. Prepare clear legal analysis, recommendations, and decision-ready materials for executive audiences." "Legal Entity Governance Oversee legal entity governance, corporate records, and compliance requirements across domestic and international jurisdictions, including foreign subsidiaries. Coordinate with internal stakeholders and outside counsel on entity formation, maintenance, restructuring, and dissolution activities." "Mergers & Acquisitions Provide legal support for mergers, acquisitions and other strategic corporate transactions. Advise on legal risks, integration considerations, post-closing obligations, and post-acquisition integration activities." "International Legal Support Provide legal guidance supporting business operations in our international locations (excluding Canada and Europe). Coordinate with local outside counsel on cross-border transactions, commercial matters, entity governance, compliance matters, and regional initiatives. Translate complex local legal requirements into clear guidance for business leaders." "Real Estate and Government Matters Advise on real estate matters, including leases, property-related agreements, facilities issues and related business support. Partner with internal stakeholders, outside counsel, and external partners to evaluate risk and manage specialized matters efficiently." We'll make each as
      • . Qualifications: Required and Preferred. Required text: "Required Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school and active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and the ability to obtain a license in Pennsylvania.Strong foundational legal training, preferably gained through a top-tier or nationally recognized law firm. 10+ years of progressively responsible legal experience, including experience advising executive leadership. Significant corporate experience in a leadership capacity, including supervising attorneys, paralegals, or legal professionals. Experience supporting a technology-oriented business with exposure to manufacturing or industrial environments. Proven business acumen and ability to balance legal risk with practical business objectives. Demonstrated experience managing complex legal matters, outside counsel, and cross-functional stakeholders.Excellent written, verbal, presentation, and executive communication skills. Ability to manage multiple priorities, exercise sound judgment, and operate with discretion on confidential matters." Preferred text: "Preferred Combination of large law firm and in-house legal experience. Experience with corporate governance, board support, legal entities, international legal matters, M&A, post-acquisition integration, or corporate transactions. Experience working with internationally based teams, particularly in Asia and/or India. Experience with real estate, government, regulatory, and/or public-sector matters. Familiarity with privately held, global, technology, electronics, manufacturing, or industrial companies." We'll make a
          with items; maybe separate required and preferred with a

          heading? Not allowed to create extra headings beyond h3 sections. Could use inside

        • to denote Required/Preferred. But we must preserve all info; we can just list each sentence as separate
        • . That will lose the grouping but still preserve content. However we could include a

          before the list saying "Required:" and then list. That's okay as prose. The instruction: use

          for prose. So we can have a

          Required:

          then
            for required items, then

            Preferred:

            then
              for preferred items. That seems acceptable. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft:
