We need to parse the posting.

- Intro: "Mavericks Wanted When was the last time you achieved the impossible? If that thought feels overwhelming, you might want to pause here, but if it sparks excitement...read on In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible. Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work."
That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role". We'll put that as About the role
with
containing that text. - "What You'll Do" paragraph: "Your practice here will be genuinely end-to-end. On any given week, that might mean providing IP counsel for an asset in early discovery, managing prosecution strategy across multiple patent portfolios in global markets, leading an FTO analysis for a BD transaction, or advising commercial teams on exclusivity positions before a product launch." That could be part of responsibilities or separate. We'll treat as part of responsibilities. - Then "Responsibilities" heading with bullet list: Own patent preparation and prosecution across global markets, with a focus on building meaningful exclusivity for BridgeBio’s pharmaceutical assets from discovery through life-cycle management. Lead freedom-to-operate assessments relevant to drug development, commercialization, and strategic transactions, identifying and mitigating risk with clear, actionable guidance. Provide IP counsel across the full asset lifecycle, including on exclusivity strategy and operating in competitive environments. Serve as a trusted IP advisor to cross-functional teams including R&D, BD, Regulatory, and Commercial, delivering timely and business-relevant counsel that advances BridgeBio’s mission. Support U.S. and ex-U.S. adversarial proceedings as they arise, including inter partes reviews, post-grant reviews, EP oppositions, and patent litigation. Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments. We'll put
Responsibilities
with- each.
- Then "Where You'll Work" Palo Alto, CA or San Francisco. That's location; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in list of allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role paragraph.
- Then "Who You Are" with qualifications:
J.D. from an accredited law school, admission to at least one U.S. state bar, and registration to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
You must be eligible to practice in California, or able to obtain a limited license for in-house counsel.
Eight or more years of pharmaceutical or life sciences IP experience, ideally at a top firm and/or in-house, gives us confidence that you have seen real complexity and know how to navigate it.
An advanced degree in organic or medicinal chemistry, or a related scientific discipline, is a strong differentiator for the kind of work our pipeline requires.
Experience in adversarial proceedings on both sides of the border rounds out the profile.
What separates the best candidates is the ability to translate technical and legal complexity into clear, calibrated business advice, to prioritize under pressure without losing precision, and to operate as a genuine partner to the business rather than a gatekeeper to it.
We can split into Requirements (hard requirements) and Qualifications (nice-to-have) or Skills. The allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide.
We could put Requirements: J.D., bar admission, USPTO registration, eligibility to practice in CA, 8+ years pharma/life sciences IP experience. Qualifications: advanced degree in organic/medicinal chemistry or related scientific discipline, experience in adversarial proceedings both sides. Skills: ability to translate technical/legal complexity into clear business advice, prioritize under pressure, operate as partner.
We'll follow that.
- Then "At BridgeBio, we strive to provide a market-competitive total rewards package, including base pay, an annual performance bonus, company equity, and generous health benefits." Then salary range: Salary $230,000 - $270,000 USD. Then benefits list.
We need Benefits section: list of benefits.
We have a long benefits list after "As a global company, our comprehensive benefits may vary based on location. We have high expectations for our team members. We make sure those working hard for patients are rewarded and cared for in return. For BridgeBio Full-Time U.S Based Roles Financial & Rewards Market-leading compensation 401(k) with employer match Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) Pre-tax commuter benefits (transit and parking) Referral bonus for hired candidates Subsidized lunch and parking on in-office days Health & Well-Being 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your dependents Health Savings Account (HSA) with annual employer contributions, plus Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) Fertility & family-forming benefits Expanded mental health support (therapy and coaching resources) Hybrid work model with flexibility Flexible, “take-what-you-need” paid time off and company-paid holidays Comprehensive paid medical and parental leave to care for yourself and your family Skill Development & Career Paths People are part of our growth and success story - from discovery to active drug trials and FDA pipelines, there are endless opportunities for skill development and internal mobility We provide career pathing through regular feedback, continuous education and professional development programs via LinkedIn Learning, LifeLabs, & BetterUp Coaching We celebrate strong performance with financial rewards, peer-to-peer recognition, and growth opportunities"

We need Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does. So we will include Benefits.
Pay section: we have salary range $230,000 - $270,000 USD. Also mention base pay, annual performance bonus, company equity. So we can include Pay.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides hybrid work model flexibility. Could be considered schedule? The posting mentions hybrid work model with flexibility. That's more about work arrangement, not schedule. There's no explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, hours. We could omit Schedule section because no explicit schedule info.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits yes, Pay yes (salary range). Schedule no.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
