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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Sections present: - About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing role: "THE POSITION Our roster has an opening with your name on it This role is a key member of FanDuel’s dynamic Legal Operations team..." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: "THE GAME PLAN Everyone on our team has a part to play ..." list of duties. - Requirements/Qualifications: "THE STATS What we're looking for in our next teammate ..." includes experience, Brightflag, etc. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications but we can combine? The instruction: Use headings for those sections if content exists. We can have both Requirements and Qualifications if distinct. But we can also put all under Requirements. However we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see content: "6+ years of experience in Legal Operations, Finance, or related roles, with deep expertise in outside counsel management and eBilling. 3-4 years of in depth Brightflag experience at a minimum (system administration, reporting, and configuration). Proven success leading cross-functional legal spend management programs in a global or matrixed environment. Strong financial acumen with expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and data analytics. Demonstrated experience in law firm performance management, benchmarking, and billing guideline enforcement. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders. Passion to work hard in a fast-paced, start-up environment Bachelor’s degree required; MBA, or equivalent advanced degree preferred. An exceptional team builder and team player, with a desire to be a leader within FanDuel" That's qualifications/requirements. Could be one section "Requirements". Could also have "Qualifications" but similar. To avoid thin sections, we can combine into one heading, maybe "Requirements". Or we could have "Qualifications" for education and "Requirements" for experience. But we need to decide based on instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to have one section for requirements/qualifications. - Skills: Could be extracted from responsibilities? But we already have skills mentioned in responsibilities and requirements. Could have a Skills section summarizing: analytical, strategic, communication, stakeholder management, negotiation, relationship-building, data analysis, etc. However we might not need separate Skills if covered elsewhere. But we have a heading for Skills; we can include if there is specific skill list. The posting mentions: "exceptional stakeholder management, negotiation, and relationship-building skills." "strong analytical, strategic, and communication skills". "strong financial acumen". "data analysis". Could be a Skills section. - Benefits: There's a section "Player Benefits We treat our team right ..." includes health plans, PTO, bonus, 401k match, commuter benefits, pet insurance, etc. Also later: "The applicable salary range for this position is $94,000 - $142,000 USD..." That's Pay. Also benefits details: medical, vision, dental insurance; life insurance; disability insurance; 401k matching; other employee benefits; short-term or long-term incentive compensation; paid personal time off and 14 paid company holidays; paid sick time per law. So we have Benefits and Pay sections. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule heading. - Also there is "About Fanduel" describing company. Could be considered "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Not needed. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company." That's generic; we can drop as it's boilerplate? It's somewhat generic but still part of responsibilities. Might keep? It's not specific; maybe drop. Also remove "This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs." generic. Also remove "FanDuel is an equal opportunities employer..." etc. Also remove "If you have a disability..." etc. Also remove "The applicable salary range for this position is $94,000 - $142,000 USD, which is dependent on a variety of factors including relevant experience, location, business needs and market demand." That's Pay info, keep. Also remove "This role may offer the following benefits: medical, vision, and dental insurance; life insurance; disability insurance; a 401(k) matching program; among other employee benefits." Keep as benefits. Also remove "This role may also be eligible for short-term or long-term incentive compensation, including, but not limited to, cash bonuses and stock program participation." Keep as benefits. Also remove "This role includes paid personal time off and 14 paid company holidays." Keep benefits. Also remove "FanDuel offers paid sick time in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws." Keep benefits. Also remove "It is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment." That's legal boilerplate; drop. Now craft HTML. We need

headings for each section we include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll produce:

Responsibilities

  • ... each duty ...
We need to extract responsibilities from THE GAME PLAN block. Let's list them: - Drive forward the execution of outside counsel management strategy, aligning on billing guidelines, rate structures and performance metrics - Shape and evolve the development of the 1-3 year strategy for outside counsel management and operational transformation within Legal Operations - Participate in and project manage the strategic planning and budgeting processes for outside counsel spend, driving accountability and alignment with corporate financial goals. - Partner with stakeholders to support firm relationship governance, promoting best practices, cost transparency and partnership value. - Conduct spend benchmarking and market analysis to inform rate negotiations and educate our matter leads. - Oversee reporting and analytics within Brightflag to deliver actionable spend insights and business intelligence to Legal leadership. - Manage invoice review, approval workflows, accruals, and budgeting processes to ensure compliance with billing guidelines and financial accuracy. - Collaborate with IT, Finance, Procurement and Accounts Payable stakeholders to enhance system capabilities and data integrity. - Proactively engage with the legal operations community, industry forums and vendor networks to identify emerging best practices and translate external insights into improvements across FanDuel's Legal Operations function - Assist with vendor management and support the vendor negotiation process. - Contribute to and project manage legal projects, ensuring timely and successful completion. - Develop project plans, timelines, and deliverables, and track progress against goals. - Support senior leaders to develop and implement the legal department’s strategic plan. - Provide insights and recommendations to improve legal processes and support business objectives. - Foster a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration, and professional growth. - Operate with a strong bias for action, proactively identifying opportunities, driving initiatives forward independently, and exercising sound judgement on when to escalate or seek alignment. - Build trusted relationships across the Legal and Compliance organization, influencing lawyers and business stakeholders to adopt best practices and program improvements. - Document processes, develop workflow diagrams and create clear visual artefacts to support operational improvements and stakeholder understanding. - Apply a strong commercial and financial understanding of legal services delivery, billing models and spend management to optimize value from outside counsel relationships. That's many items. We'll put each as
  • . Now Requirements/Qualifications: We'll combine into one section maybe "Requirements". List items: - 6+ years of experience in Legal Operations, Finance, or related roles, with deep expertise in outside counsel management and eBilling. - 3-4 years of in depth Brightflag experience at a minimum (system administration, reporting, and configuration). - Proven success leading cross-functional legal spend management programs in a global or matrixed environment. - Strong financial acumen with expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and data analytics. - Demonstrated experience in law firm performance management, benchmarking, and billing guideline enforcement. - Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders. - Passion to work hard in a fast-paced, start-up environment. - Bachelor’s degree required; MBA, or equivalent advanced degree preferred. - An exceptional team builder and team player, with a desire to be a leader within FanDuel. We could also include "Strong analytical, strategic, and communication skills" but that's covered in skills. Now Skills section: list skills: - Analytical - Strategic - Communication - Stakeholder management - Negotiation - Relationship-building - Financial acumen - Data analysis - Budgeting - Forecasting - Law firm performance management - Benchmarking - Billing guideline enforcement - Collaboration - Project management - Process documentation - Commercial understanding of legal services delivery - Bias for action - Judgement on escalation But many overlap with responsibilities. Might be thin. However we can still include if we have substantive content. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we include Skills, we need to ensure it's substantive. Could combine Skills into Requirements? But we already have Requirements covering experience and qualifications; skills could be separate. However we could omit Skills and let skills be implied in responsibilities and requirements. Since we have a heading for Skills, we need to decide if we include it. The posting does mention skills explicitly: "exceptional stakeholder management, negotiation, and relationship-building skills." "strong analytical, strategic, and communication skills." "strong financial acumen". "data analysis". So we could make a Skills section with those. But we must avoid filler like "communicates well". We'll list concrete skills. Now Benefits section: list: - Medical, vision, and dental insurance - Life insurance - Disability insurance - 401(k) matching program (up to 5% match) - Other employee benefits (as per FanDuel Total Rewards) - Short-term or long-term incentive compensation (cash bonuses, stock program participation) - Paid personal time off - 14 paid company holidays - Paid sick time in accordance with applicable state and federal laws - Commuter benefits - Pet insurance - Fertility and family planning programs - Mental health support - Fitness benefits - Generous paid time off (PTO & sick leave) - Annual bonus and long-term incentive opportunities (based on performance) We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Benefits differ across location, role, and level." That's generic but could be kept as note? Might be considered boilerplate; better to drop. Now Pay section: include salary range: $94,000 - $142,000 USD, dependent on experience, location, business needs, market demand. Also mention that this role may be eligible for short-term or long-term incentive compensation (but that's already in benefits). We'll keep Pay as salary range. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:
