We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. The posting includes: Company Overview (maybe About the role?), Summary, Essential Functions (Responsibilities), Education And Experience (Requirements/Qualifications), Other Qualifications And Skills (Skills), SALARY (Pay), Additional Benefits (Benefits). No schedule info. So we should include sections: About the role (maybe combine Company Overview + Summary?), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Education And Experience), Qualifications (maybe Other Qualifications And Skills?), Skills (maybe same as Qualifications? But we need to separate? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide what content goes where. Likely: - About the role: Company Overview + Summary (maybe combine). - Responsibilities: Essential Functions. - Requirements: Education And Experience (JD, bar admission, 7+ years, etc.) - Qualifications: Other Qualifications And Skills (carrier/broker-side experience preferred, etc.) - Skills: maybe we could split but we have overlapping. Could put "Skills" as the same as Other Qualifications And Skills? But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we treat "Qualifications" as the education/experience (mandatory) and "Skills" as the preferred qualifications/skills. Or we could combine them. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. That's 6 sections. Omit Skills if redundant. But we need to follow the list of possible headings; we can omit any that lack real content. So we can omit Skills if we put its content under Qualifications. Let's decide: - About the role: Company Overview + Summary. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions. - Requirements: Education And Experience (mandatory). - Qualifications: Other Qualifications And Skills (preferred). - Benefits: Additional Benefits. - Pay: SALARY. No Schedule. Now we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is EEO statement; we must remove that. Also remove the line "It's an exciting time for our company..." maybe that's fluff but it's substantive? It's not boilerplate; it's a motivational statement. Could keep? It's not required but it's not boilerplate. Might keep as part of About the role? It's after benefits. It's a closing statement. Could include in About the role or maybe as a separate paragraph. But we should preserve all substantive information; that line is substantive but not required heading. Could include as a paragraph under About the role after company overview. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. Now produce HTML: Use

for each section heading. Inside each, use

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to extract content. Let's parse: Company Overview: "MSIG USA continues to grow! Company Overview MSIG USA is the US-based subsidiary of MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings, Inc., one of the world’s top P&C carriers and a global Class 15 insurer, with A+ ratings and a reach that spans 40+ countries and regions. Leveraging our 350-year heritage, MSIG USA brings the financial strength, expertise, and global footprint to offer commercial insurance solutions that address your business’s unique risks." We can combine with Summary. Summary: "As the Financial Lines portfolio continues to grow, the Financial Lines Claims Counsel will play a meaningful role in the development of the Financial Lines Claims organization. This position manages high-exposure and complex Financial Lines claims and brings deep expertise in Financial Lines coverage and claims handling. The role focuses primarily on Directors & Officers (D&O), Financial Institutions Professional Liability (E&O), Employment Practices Liability (EPL), Fiduciary, and Fidelity claims, including complex litigation, class actions, securities matters, and high-severity financial loss exposures. The position offers significant autonomy, visibility, and the ability to influence claim outcomes and the continued expansion of the business." We'll combine these into About the role. Responsibilities (Essential Functions): List of bullet points (each sentence seems like a duty). We'll make

              . Now we need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. At the end there is EEO statement; we must remove. Also there is line: "It's an exciting time for our company and a great opportunity to join a financially sound and growing global insurance group!" This is not boilerplate; we can include maybe as a closing paragraph under About the role or after Benefits. Let's put it as a
