Legal Counsel - Litigation Manager
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- Intro about company: "Credit Acceptance is proud to be an award-winning company..." This is about the company, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role and company context. We'll include a section "About the role" with that intro and description of role.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Outcomes and Activities:" includes many duties. Also "Enforce and defend Company’s interests..." etc. So we can create Responsibilities section with - items.
- Requirements: "Licensed as an attorney to practice law, with a minimum of 5 years as a practicing lawyer with law firm litigation experience...." Also "Excellent professional and academic credentials." etc. Also "Preferred: Experience in some of the following areas..." That's preferred qualifications, could go under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll treat Requirements as mandatory, and maybe Qualifications as preferred? But we can combine.
- Knowledge and Skills: list of knowledge and skills (organized, positive, quick thinker, etc.) That's Skills section.
- Benefits: "Excellent benefits package that includes 401(K) match, adoption assistance, parental leave, tuition reimbursement, comprehensive medical/ dental/vision and many nonstandard benefits..." So Benefits section.
- Pay: "Targeted Compensation: $150,000 - $175,000 base salary + annual bonus plan." So Pay section.
- Schedule: "This position will work from home; occasional planned travel to our Southfield, Michigan office may be required. However, this position is permitted to work at our Southfield, Michigan office if requested by the team member." So Schedule/Work location.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include duplicated lines. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We must not include application instructions like "send us your application!" etc. Also remove "Advice! We understand that your career search may look different..." etc. Also remove "P.S. We have great details..." etc. Also remove "Required degrees must have been earned at institutions..." etc. Also remove "Credit Acceptance is dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive working environment..." etc. Also remove "California Residents: Please click here..." etc. Also remove "Play the video below..." etc.
Also remove "#zip Benefits" maybe it's a tag; we keep benefits content.
Now construct HTML.
We'll have:

... (company description and role context)
Then Responsibilities
- ... each duty
Then Requirements
- ... mandatory requirements
Maybe also Qualifications
for preferred? But we can put preferred under Requirements as well, but better to separate: Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred). The instruction says use headings for sections like Qualifications. So we can have Qualifications for preferred experience.
Then Skills
for knowledge and skills.
Then Benefits
Then Pay
Then Schedule
Make sure not to add empty sections.
Now extract content precisely.
About the role: combine first paragraph(s) up to before "Outcomes and Activities:" maybe.
Original text:
"Credit Acceptance is proud to be an award-winning company recognized both locally and nationally across multiple workplace categories. Our world-class culture is shaped by dedicated team members who are driven to succeed as professionals individually and together as a team. Backed by a strong product, exceptional people, and a stable financial foundation, we’ve grown into a leading provider of used and new car financing across the country. Our Support teams work with multiple departments in a dynamic environment that promotes flexibility and autonomy, while offering the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of professionals. We work to comply with our company standards, exceed customer expectations, and drive our Great Place to Work culture. We deliver high-quality services aligned to business needs, driving innovative improvements that support our company strategy and modern operating principles. As a member of our in-house litigation team, attorneys in this role will handle a diverse portfolio of litigation and pre-litigation disputes and take reasonable steps to make certain that the Company, its team members, dealers, and third-party service providers are complying with Company policies and procedures and applicable consumer protection laws and regulations. Attorneys will research and resolve complaints, manage outside counsel where necessary and within a reasonable budget, and help counsel the business on lessons learned."
That seems good for About the role.
Now Responsibilities: after "Outcomes and Activities:" there is a list.
Let's capture each bullet:
"Enforce and defend Company’s interests in litigation and disputed matters. This includes:
- Managing a diverse portfolio of litigation and pre-litigation complaints (such as those submitted to the Company for investigation through governmental agencies, the Better Business Bureau, or an email portal).
- Working with team members, customers, dealers, and third-party service providers to de-escalate and resolve disputes.
- Retaining, overseeing, and directing the scope of all work of outside legal counsel in litigation matters (such as negotiating fee arrangements, cost-effective staffing of matters, and setting and executing a litigation strategy to achieve the best possible outcomes).
- Performing substantive work related to litigation and pre-litigation disputes, such as working with experts, editing legal briefs, preparing witnesses, and negotiating settlements.
- Keeping legal management team apprised of and solicit their input as appropriate on significant legal issues.
Execute aspects of the Company’s Complaint Management Program. This includes:
- Monitoring various listening posts, including complaints, industry litigation, and news publications, to enhance the Company’s compliance with consumer financial protection laws;
- Performing complaint trend analyses;
- Reporting compliance, coaching, training, and policy opportunities identified;
- Working with attorneys from the Corporate Legal Department to counsel the business on how to reduce risk based upon lessons learned; and
- Summarizing observations for Company executives.
Develop expertise in consumer financial protection laws.
Perform legal research as requested and document findings in a formal white paper where appropriate.
Periodic performance feedback from team members throughout the organization will be sought and will be considered when assessing your performance."
We need to turn each into - . Some sentences are not bullet but we can treat as separate items.
Let's list items:
1. Enforce and defend Company’s interests in litigation and disputed matters. (maybe keep as heading? but we can include as first bullet)
2. Managing a diverse portfolio of litigation and pre-litigation complaints (such as those submitted to the Company for investigation through governmental agencies, the Better Business Bureau, or an email portal).
3. Working with team members, customers, dealers, and third-party service providers to de-escalate and resolve disputes.
4. Retaining, overseeing, and directing the scope of all work of outside legal counsel in litigation matters (such as negotiating fee arrangements, cost-effective staffing of matters, and setting and executing a litigation strategy to achieve the best possible outcomes).
5. Performing substantive work related to litigation and pre-litigation disputes, such as working with experts, editing legal briefs, preparing witnesses, and negotiating settlements.
6. Keeping legal management team apprised of and solicit their input as appropriate on significant legal issues.
7. Monitoring various listening posts, including complaints, industry litigation, and news publications, to enhance the Company’s compliance with consumer financial protection laws;
8. Performing complaint trend analyses;
9. Reporting compliance, coaching, training, and policy opportunities identified;
10. Working with attorneys from the Corporate Legal Department to counsel the business on how to reduce risk based upon lessons learned; and
11. Summarizing observations for Company executives.
12. Develop expertise in consumer financial protection laws.
13. Perform legal research as requested and document findings in a formal white paper where appropriate.
14. Periodic performance feedback from team members throughout the organization will be sought and will be considered when assessing your performance.
We could combine some but okay.
Now Requirements: mandatory:

Litigation experience should include engaging in all aspects of written discovery, taking and defending depositions, motion practice, as well as trial or arbitration experience, and experience working directly with clients.
Excellent professional and academic credentials.
Have excellent legal research and writing skills, including familiarity with Westlaw."
Also maybe "Required degrees must have been earned at institutions of Higher Education which are accredited by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or equivalent." That's a requirement about degree accreditation. Should we include? It's a requirement but it's near the end after boilerplate. It's substantive. We'll include as a requirement.
Also "This position is not currently open to individuals who require sponsorship now or in the future to work legally for Credit Acceptance, such as H-1b / H-4 or F-1 OPT visa holders." That's a requirement/restriction. Should we include? It's a requirement about visa sponsorship. It's substantive. We'll include.

Now Schedule: "This position will work from home; occasional planned travel to our Southfield, Michigan office may be required. However, this position is permitted to work at our Southfield, Michigan office if requested by the team member."
Now we must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. We removed those.
Now produce HTML.
We'll wrap each section in
