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. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The introductory paragraph(s) describing purpose, safety, team, role description. We'll need to capture that as prose under

About the role

with

. - Responsibilities: The bullet list after "Responsibilities". It includes multiple paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually the text: "Lead Global Safety Compliance & Risk Oversee Lyft’s global safety compliance, transparency, and risk functions, supporting strong functional leaders and individual contributors on your team and strengthening capabilities as Lyft scales globally.Set direction across compliance readiness, safety transparency reporting, and risk assessment, ensuring strong governance and execution.Partner with Legal, Regulatory Compliance, and business leaders to anticipate emerging requirements and risks across markets, products, and business models.Ensure material risks, dependencies, and gaps are surfaced early, with clear ownership and senior-level visibility.

We need to turn each responsibility into

  • items. Probably each bold heading is a responsibility. We'll split by the capitalized headings: "Lead Global Safety Compliance & Risk", "Lead Trust & Safety Business Enablement", "Lead Trust & Safety Partnerships", "Drive the Operating Rhythm", "Build and Lead Exceptional Teams". Each has multiple sentences. We'll make each as a
  • containing the sentences. - Experience: Under "Experience" heading. Contains bullet-like sentences. We'll treat as Requirements? The posting has "Experience" then list of requirements. Also "Preferred Qualifications". So we need sections: Requirements (maybe for mandatory experience) and Qualifications (preferred). Also Skills? Not explicitly listed but could be derived from experience. However we should only include sections if posting has real specific content. There's "Experience" and "Preferred Qualifications". Also there is "Role Considerations" (sensitive subject matter) - maybe not a standard heading; but we could include under Responsibilities? Probably not needed. There's also "Benefits:" with list. Also Pay and Schedule info. Thus sections: - About the role (intro) - Responsibilities - Requirements (from Experience) - Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications) - Benefits - Pay - Schedule We should not include Skills unless there is explicit skills list; not present. Now we need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Lyft is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer..." etc. Also remove "Role Considerations" maybe? It's not a standard heading but contains info about sensitive subject matter and legal proceedings. Should we keep it? It's substantive but not under standard headings. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could we incorporate Role Considerations into Responsibilities? It's about the nature of work. Might be better to include as a separate section maybe "Role Considerations". But the allowed headings list does not include Role Considerations. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use

    for section headings (e.g. ...)". It implies we should use those headings for sections; but we could also add other headings if needed? It says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should limit to those headings. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we should only use those headings if they have content. So we should not add Role Considerations as a heading; we could incorporate its content into Responsibilities or About the role. Probably best to add a sentence under Responsibilities about exposure to sensitive content. But the responsibilities list already covers duties; we could add a bullet about handling sensitive subject matter. However the posting includes that under "Role Considerations". We could incorporate it as a bullet under Responsibilities maybe as "Handle sensitive subject matter including reports of violence, sexual assault, harassment, etc.; may participate in legal proceedings." That preserves info. Similarly, we need to include the hybrid schedule info under Schedule. Pay info under Pay. Benefits list under Benefits. Now we need to format. Let's extract About the role content: The first paragraph(s) before Responsibilities. From posting: "At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive. Safety is fundamental to the Lyft experience and to the trust riders, drivers, and our broader communities place in our platform. Lyft’s Safety and Customer Care team works through product, technology, data, policy, and operations to prevent harm before it happens, respond compassionately when it does, and continuously learn from every incident in efforts to make Lyft the safest way to get around. We are looking for an experienced safety leader with deep Trust & Safety experience to help turn Lyft’s Trust & Safety strategy into impact at scale, with the final shape of this role informed by the strengths of the leader we bring on. This is a highly visible leadership role within Lyft’s Safety & Customer Care organization. You will report to the Senior Director and General Manager of Trust & Safety and sit on the Trust & Safety leadership team. You will additionally partner deeply with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Research & Design, Legal, Compliance, Risk, Communications, Finance, and other teams across Lyft. The ideal candidate is an exceptional operator and people leader with Trust & Safety expertise, strong strategic judgment, and a track record of leading complex, high-stakes Trust & Safety organizations at scale. You can move fluidly between setting strategy with senior executives, developing leaders, overseeing large global operations and budgets, and diving into an emerging safety issue when the situation demands it." We'll put that as

    under About the role. Now Responsibilities: We'll create

    • for each responsibility. Let's parse each: 1. Lead Global Safety Compliance & Risk - Oversee Lyft’s global safety compliance, transparency, and risk functions, supporting strong functional leaders and individual contributors on your team and strengthening capabilities as Lyft scales globally. - Set direction across compliance readiness, safety transparency reporting, and risk assessment, ensuring strong governance and execution. - Partner with Legal, Regulatory Compliance, and business leaders to anticipate emerging requirements and risks across markets, products, and business models. - Ensure material risks, dependencies, and gaps are surfaced early, with clear ownership and senior-level visibility. We could combine into one
    • with multiple sentences. 2. Lead Trust & Safety Business Enablement - Guide the functions that turn Trust & Safety strategy and policy into scalable execution across the business. - Ensure teams are aligned around clear priorities, ownership, and outcomes while empowering functional leaders to drive execution. - Strengthen the playbooks, operating mechanisms, and cross-functional connections needed to safely launch new products, features, markets, and experiences. - Help evolve Lyft’s Trust & Safety operating model as the business grows in scale and complexity. 3. Lead Trust & Safety Partnerships - Set the Trust & Safety strategy for strategic partners, acquisitions, and businesses joining Lyft’s expanding global ecosystem. - Support partnership leaders in building scalable approaches across different products, markets, operating models, regulatory environments, and risk profiles. - Ensure partners are effectively integrated into Lyft’s safety ecosystem, with clear standards, ownership, governance, and escalation paths. - Surface partnership risks and readiness early, enabling Lyft to grow and integrate new businesses safely. 4. Drive the Operating Rhythm - Help translate strategy into priorities, operating plans, resource decisions, and measurable outcomes. - Drive the organization’s planning, prioritization, goal-setting, and business review rhythms, ensuring clear decisions, accountability, and follow-through. - Support the General Manager of Trust & Safety with Lyft-wide and executive efforts, including strategic planning, Board and executive preparation, and cross-functional initiatives requiring senior-level coordination. - Distill complex issues into clear, decision-ready narratives and recommendations for executives and cross-functional leaders. 5. Build and Lead Exceptional Teams - Lead talented individual contributors and people managers. - Build an organization with clear accountability, strong decision-making, high standards, and the ability to operate effectively through ambiguity and change. - Develop leaders who independently own large, complex areas while maintaining strong alignment across the broader Trust & Safety organization. - Create an environment where teams combine urgency with sound judgment, challenge assumptions constructively, learn from mistakes, and are grounded in the experiences of riders and drivers. We could also add a bullet about handling sensitive subject matter and legal proceedings from Role Considerations. Perhaps add as a sixth bullet under Responsibilities: "Handle sensitive subject matter including reports of violence, sexual assault, harassment, etc.; may be asked to participate in legal proceedings (e.g., depositions) related to Lyft’s Trust & Safety practices." That preserves info. Now Requirements (Experience): The bullet list after "Experience". Let's extract: "10+ years of relevant professional experience, with significant experience in Trust & Safety, safety, risk, integrity, customer operations, platform operations, or another closely related field. Deep, direct experience leading at least two Trust & Safety functions (e.g. product and policy; policy and operations; operations and programs) at scale is required. Experience leading Trust & Safety at a scaled consumer technology, marketplace, mobility, social, sharing-economy, or other platform business. 5+ years of significant people leadership experience, including demonstrated success managing individual contributors, managers or senior leaders, and leaders of leaders. Demonstrated experience owning significant budgets and making strategic tradeoffs. Experience building scalable operating models, processes, governance mechanisms, and performance-management systems. Strong analytical and financial judgment, with the ability to use data to diagnose problems, evaluate tradeoffs
