We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs about firm and role. We need headings for sections present: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications/Education/Training/Certifications, Skills (Technical Skills, Performance Traits), Benefits, Pay. Schedule not present. Must not include headings with filler. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation request, equal opportunity, unsolicited CVs, etc. Also remove "This description is not exhaustive..." maybe keep? It's a disclaimer but maybe considered boilerplate? It's legal disclaimer; likely remove. Also remove "Posted Pay Range" maybe keep as part of Pay section. Keep pay range. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for Manager: Legal Project Management. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph: "Mayer Brown is an international law firm positioned to represent the world’s major corporations, funds, and financial institutions in their most important and complex transactions and disputes. We are recognized by our clients as strategic partners with deep commercial instincts and a commitment to creatively anticipating their needs and delivering excellence in everything we do. We are a collegial, collaborative firm where highly motivated individuals with an unwavering commitment to excellence receive the opportunity, support, and development they need to grow, thrive, and realize their greatest potential all while supporting the Firm’s client service principles of excellence, strategic partnership, commercial instinct, integrated strengths, innovation, and collaboration across our international firm. If you thrive in a collaborative environment that values exceptional client service, initiative, professionalism, responsiveness, and adaptability, we invite you to consider joining our Legal Project Management department in our New York office as a Manager: Legal Project Management." That's about the role/firm. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

    under

    About the role

    . Next: "The Manager: Legal Project Management will work directly with Firm lawyers to support the execution of the Firm’s legal project management (LPM) strategy, and individual legal matters as a fee earner, particularly in Finance and Corporate practice areas. The Manager: Legal Project Management will manage communications, implement technology (including AI) and manage internal and external resources to deliver legal services efficiently and effectively. This position offers the opportunity to work closely with partners and matter teams, and the firm's most valuable clients, contributing to the delivery of high-quality legal services." That could also be part of About the role or Responsibilities. But we have a separate Responsibilities section later. Responsibilities list: bullet points under "Responsibilities Essential Functions:" then list items. Let's capture each bullet: - Support Mayer Brown partners and matter teams with the delivery of legal services by employing LPM techniques and tools, managing resources, managing scope and budget, and allocating tasks - Assist in developing project plans; plan and track matter timelines, milestones, and dependencies using appropriate tools and reports - Set and communicate expectations related to each engagement with the matter team and client - Facilitate matter team meetings and manage the interface between the client and Mayer Brown team as it relates to individual LPM engagements - Build strong relationships with partners to develop and maintain a pipeline of matters to be managed - Proactively seek opportunities to provide assistance to partners in line with the role’s responsibilities - Demonstrate understanding of legal, financial, and project-management related concepts; ask appropriate questions and provide clear, concise responses - Offer ideas for improvement of LPM-related activities and seek out opportunities for professional development - Establish themselves as a trusted resource for partners and remain current with industry LPM trends, tools, and best practices - Assist with LPM training for firm lawyers, business services personnel, and clients, including providing guidance on LPM concepts and techniques - Manage multiple matters concurrently - Operate with minimal supervision within the global LPM strategy and framework - Perform other duties as assigned or required to meet Firm goals and objectives These are duties; we will put under

Could combine into one Skills section but better separate: Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (technical and performance traits). The instruction: Use headings like Qualifications, Skills. So we will have

      Qualifications

      with list of education and experience items. Then

      Skills

      with list of technical skills and performance traits. We must not create headings with filler. All items are substantive. Next Benefits: "We offer competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits, including medical/dental/vision/life/and AD&D insurance, 401(k) savings plan, back-up childcare and eldercare, generous paid time off (PTO), as well as opportunities for professional development and growth."

That's legal disclaimer; remove. Also remove "Mayer Brown works with select external search firms..." etc. Remove. Now construct HTML. We'll start with

        About the role

        then

        containing the intro paragraphs (maybe combine into one

        ). Ensure we keep all substantive info. Let's craft:
