Professional Development Assistant
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
Content includes:
- Intro about firm: "Build your big career with the firm that does Big Law, Better. McDermott Will & Schulte is a leading global law firm..." etc. This is about firm culture, benefits, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Benefits"? But we have separate Benefits section later: "Support to feel your best and do your best: Wellness is integral..." and "Real rewards for real work: We offer generous compensation packages..." Also "Successful candidates will be provided with outstanding career opportunities and will receive a competitive total rewards package with the opportunity to earn performance-based bonuses." Also "Target Hiring Range $55,000 - $76,000". Also "Full time positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and a comprehensive benefits package."
Thus we have Pay (salary range) and Benefits (wellness, compensation, bonuses). Also maybe "Schedule"? Not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule.
We have "Job Description" heading then description of PD Assistant responsibilities. That's essentially Responsibilities.
We have "Essential Functions And Responsibilities" list (bullet-like sentences). We'll turn into
- .
We have "Job Specifications" list (Bachelor's degree, knowledge of MS 365, etc.) That's Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use. Probably "Requirements" for the list of qualifications. Could also separate Skills but we can keep one.
We also have "Physical Demands And Work Environment" which is not in the list of allowed headings but we could maybe treat as a section? The allowed headings are examples; we could still include other headings? The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples but not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those categories; but we could also include a heading like "Physical Demands" if needed. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Physical demands is a small section; maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities? But it's separate info about physical demands and work environment. Could be included under a heading like "Working Conditions" but not in list. Might be better to drop? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Could add a heading "Physical Demands & Work Environment" as . The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. So we can include.
We also have "Disclaimer" which is boilerplate; we should remove.
We need to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Disclaimer The above statements are intended..." which we should drop.
Also "Physical Demands And Work Environment" includes a paragraph about reasonable accommodations; we keep that.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce sections:
- About the role
maybe containing the introductory paragraphs about firm culture, mission, benefits? But we also have Benefits and Pay sections separate. The intro includes culture, wellness, rewards. Could be part of About the role. However we also have separate Benefits and Pay sections; we might duplicate if we put culture there. Better to put the firm overview in About the role, and then Benefits and Pay separate for specifics.
Thus:
About the role
Build your big career with the firm that does Big Law, Better. McDermott Will & Schulte is a leading global law firm that brings together more than 1,700+ lawyers and 1,400 business professionals. We celebrate excellence, collaboration, and community and have been recognized as a top workplace by USA Today, Fortune, The American Lawyer, Vault and others. We are also certified by Great Place to Work. At McDermott, we don’t just invest in your future, we accelerate your career – wherever it may lead.

That’s why our benefits program supports your physical, emotional, mental, and financial health, with an emphasis on work-life balance. Real rewards for real work: We offer generous compensation packages that recognize hard work and excellence.
But note that the Benefits and Pay sections will also contain specifics; we might be duplicating the wellness and compensation statements. To avoid duplication, maybe we should keep the generic culture in About the role, and move the specific benefits and pay details to Benefits and Pay sections. However the intro includes wellness and compensation statements that are generic; we could keep them in About the role and then Benefits/Pay sections could just list the concrete items: "Target Hiring Range $55,000 - $76,000", "Full time positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and a comprehensive benefits package." Also "Successful candidates will be provided with outstanding career opportunities and will receive a competitive total rewards package with the opportunity to earn performance-based bonuses." That's more about compensation.
Thus we can split.
Now Responsibilities: from "Job Description" and "Essential Functions And Responsibilities". We'll combine.
We need to output - for each duty.
List items:
- Coordinate logistics and communications for firmwide attorney development programs and initiatives.
- Support program administration, including invitations, registration, participant tracking, material preparation, attendance monitoring, and feedback collection.
- Create surveys, compile participant feedback, and prepare program evaluations, summaries, and reports.
- Assist with planning and executing practice excellence workshops, attorney onboarding and orientation, practice group boot camps, and other in-person and virtual programs.
- Travel to other firm office locations to provide on the ground support for in-person attorney trainings and events.
- Coordinate conference rooms, audio/visual (AV) support, catering, program materials, and other event logistics.
- Maintain and communicate in regard to timelines and project plans to move initiatives forward.

- Assist with the maintenance of attorney development resources, intranet page, and internal program materials.
- Collaborate with attorneys, business professionals, and external vendors to support program delivery and participant experience.
- Prepare client-ready written communications to attorneys, business professionals, external vendors, and other stakeholders.
- Provide administrative support for team operations, including meeting coordination, cross-functional collaboration, special projects, and other department initiatives.
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: from "Job Specifications". We'll list as
- .
- Bachelor’s degree
- Knowledge of Microsoft 365 Suite (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, OneDrive, and Project Planner)
- Strong oral and written communication skills
- Strong organizational and attention to detail skills
- Strong client service skills
- Ability to work well within a collaborative team environment
- Ability to work under tight deadlines and prioritize responsibilities
- Ability to handle and maintain confidential information
- Ability to learn new concepts and skills quickly
- Some travel required
Now Benefits: we have wellness program, generous compensation packages, discretionary bonus, comprehensive benefits package, total rewards package, performance-based bonuses. Also maybe "Successful candidates will be provided with outstanding career opportunities". We'll list.
We need to avoid filler like "competitive total rewards package" is substantive. We'll put in
- .
- Wellness program supporting physical, emotional, mental, and financial health with emphasis on work-life balance
- Generous compensation packages recognizing hard work and excellence
- Competitive total rewards package with opportunity to earn performance-based bonuses
- Discretionary bonus for full-time positions
- Comprehensive benefits package for full-time positions
- Outstanding career opportunities
Now Pay: we have Target Hiring Range $55,000 - $76,000, plus note about base pay based on market location, may vary, base pay only part of total rewards. We'll include.
We should not include the disclaimer about not guarantee etc? That's part of Pay section maybe but it's not filler; it's substantive detail about salary. We'll include as a
maybe.
Thus Pay section:
Pay
Target hiring range: $55,000 - $76,000. Base pay is based on market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and geographic location. Base pay is only one part of the Total Rewards that MWE provides to compensate and recognize staff professionals for their work. Full-time positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and a comprehensive benefits package.
Now Physical Demands And Work Environment: we can make a heading maybe "Physical Demands & Work Environment". We'll include.
Physical Demands & Work Environment
While performing the duties of this job, the employee is required to sit, use hands, reach with hands and arms, stoop, talk and hear. Employee must occasionally lift up to twenty (20) pounds. Typical indoor office environment. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Now we need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Disclaimer". We removed.
Check for duplicated lines: The intro had some sentences about wellness and rewards that we also included in Benefits section; we might have duplication. To avoid duplication, we could remove those sentences from About the role and keep only culture overview. Let's adjust About the role to exclude the wellness and rewards sentences, focusing on firm description and culture.
Thus About the role:
