. - Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" section includes bullet-like sentences but not explicit list. We can format as

We can put as
or list? It's prose. Use
. - Qualifications: The "Required Qualifications" bullet list. We'll make
- each.
List items:
- Bachelor's degree and Juris Doctor (J.D.).
- Minimum of 12 years of progressively responsible employment law experience, including law firm and in-house experience.
- Deep expertise in U.S. employment law, employee relations, and HR compliance.
- Experience with international employment law and HR governance.
- Proven experience managing investigations, employment disputes, and outside counsel relationships.
- Demonstrated ability to advise and influence senior HR leaders and business executives on complex, high-risk workforce matters.
- Licensed to practice law in Massachusetts or eligible for admission.
- Preferred Qualifications: Could be considered "Qualifications" as well? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We could combine under Qualifications with subheadings? But we only allowed those headings; we could put both required and preferred under Qualifications as list items, maybe differentiate with "Required" and "Preferred" in text. But better to keep separate? The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. It didn't forbid subheadings inside. But we must use only those headings. Could we have two sections: Requirements and Qualifications? The list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. So we can have Requirements (maybe for "Who You Are") and Qualifications (for required/preferred). Let's map:
- Requirements: "Who You Are" (skills, experience). That seems like requirements.
- Qualifications: Required and Preferred qualifications.
- Skills: Could be derived from "Preferred Qualifications" includes skills like analytical, decision-making, communication, stakeholder management, etc. Could create a Skills section.
But we must not invent content. We'll extract skills from Preferred Qualifications: "Strong analytical and decision-making skills. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. Experience supporting multinational organizations and global employment law issues, including reorganizations, restructurings, M&A integrations, cross-border workforce mobility, or other significant business transformations. Demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders and build trusted partnerships across a complex, matrixed global organization."
We can put those as
- under Skills.
- Benefits: The Benefits paragraph includes list. We'll make
- .
- Pay: The posting includes base compensation range: "$226,000.00-$310,750.00". Also mentions short term and long-term incentives. That's pay info. So we include Pay section with that content.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule section.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for section headings. Structure:

We must ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's verify we didn't miss any. From About the role: we captured all. Responsibilities: we need to ensure we captured all bullet points. Let's list them from original: Strategic Employment Counseling - Serve as a legal advisor to Global Human Resources on employment law and people relations matters across the employee lifecycle, including recruitment, performance management, accommodations, leave administration, compensation, benefits, disciplinary actions, workforce restructuring, and separations. - Partner with HR and business leaders to develop practical, risk-informed solutions. - Provide strategic advice on sensitive employment matters. - Support business leaders in navigating complex workplace issues while maintaining compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Check we didn't miss any other info like "Job Level: Management" - that's metadata; we can drop per instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Job Level: Management is minor metadata; we could drop or include in a short p. Probably drop. Additional Information: The base compensation range etc we used in Pay. Also "Regular employees are eligible to receive both short term and long-term incentives, including cash bonus and equity incentive opportunities, designed to reward recent achievements and recognize your future potential based on individual, business unit and company performance." We included that. We also have "Benefits In addition to compensation, Biogen offers a full and highly competitive range of benefits designed to support our employees’ and their families physical, financial, emotional, and social well-being; including, but not limited to:" then list. We captured. We also have "Why Biogen?" and "Caring Deeply..." etc. That's boilerplate? It's promotional but maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Why Biogen?" might be considered promotional but not explicitly excluded. However it's not a required section; we could include as part of About the role? But it's not
