We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "About GEP" then "Position Overview". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: About GEP (company description) maybe "About the role"? There's "Position Overview". Could map to "About the role". Also "Key Responsibilities" -> Responsibilities. "Requirements" -> Requirements. "Preferred Qualifications" -> Qualifications (or maybe Skills). There's also "Benefits" and "Salary Range" (Pay). Also "Additional Compensation" maybe part of Pay. There's no explicit Schedule. So we will include sections: About the role (maybe combine About GEP and Position Overview). Responsibilities. Requirements. Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Benefits. Pay (Salary Range + Additional Compensation). Ensure we don't include boilerplate. No navigation etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to extract content. Let's parse: About GEP: paragraph describing company. Then "Position Overview": paragraph describing role. We'll combine into About the role section. Responsibilities: Under "Key Responsibilities" there are bullet-like sentences separated by periods but not bullet list. We need to turn into

    • . We'll split each sentence that starts with a capital verb? Better to treat each line as a bullet. The text: "Corporate Governance, Entity Management & Transactions Lead global entity formation, dissolution, restructuring, maintenance, and governance workflows across domestic and international jurisdictions.Manage corporate governance documentation, including operating agreements, bylaws, written consents, resolutions, board/member approvals, officer and director changes, statutory filings, and related corporate records.Coordinate with Finance, Tax, HR, registered agents, local counsel, directors, officers, and external providers to ensure entities remain organized, compliant, and properly maintained.Advise internal stakeholders on corporate governance requirements, approval processes, entity structure, recordkeeping practices, and practical risk-based decision-making.Support M&A, entity restructuring, strategic transactions, and corporate initiatives, including due diligence, document review, closing coordination, and post-closing integration.Draft, review, and negotiate corporate and transaction-related documents, including NDAs, LOIs, purchase agreements, asset purchase agreements, disclosure schedules, closing documents, operating agreements, and ancillary agreements.Manage external counsel and advisers to ensure timely, efficient, and business-aligned legal support." Then "Legal Operations & Cross-Functional Support Build and improve Legal team processes, templates, workflows, trackers, and governance tools to support a growing global business.Mentor and guide legal support team members involved in entity management, corporate records, governance documentation, and related legal operations work.Support employment-related matters as needed, including exposure to employment agreements, offer letters, separations, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, and employment issues connected to corporate transactions." Then "Employment & Legal Operations Support Support employment law matters as part of a broader in-house legal role, including employment agreements, offer letters, separations, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, employee lifecycle matters, and employment issues connected to corporate transactions.Partner with HR and leadership on employment-related questions, claims, pre-litigation disputes, and management of external employment counsel as needed.Mentor legal support team members and contribute to legal process improvement, template development, workflow maturity, and technology adoption within the Legal function." We can combine all responsibilities into a list. Requirements: list after "Requirements". It's a paragraph with bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We'll split each sentence. Requirements text: "J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school.Active bar membership in New Jersey or another U.S. jurisdiction, or eligibility for in-house counsel registration in New Jersey.5+ years of post-bar legal experience in corporate, governance, transactional, M&A, securities, private equity, business, commercial, or in-house legal work.Strong hands-on experience with corporate governance, entity formation, entity maintenance, operating agreements, bylaws, board/member approvals, corporate records, M&A support, due diligence, or transaction documents.Experience working directly with senior stakeholders, internal business teams, outside counsel, registered agents, local counsel, and other third-party providers.Ability to provide practical, business-oriented legal guidance in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.Strong project management skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent matters independently.Excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgment, and strong attention to detail." We'll split each sentence. Preferred Qualifications: after "Preferred Qualifications".

We'll list.

We'll list. Pay: Salary Range and Additional Compensation. Salary Range: "$160,000 – $180,000 annually, based on experience and qualifications." Additional Compensation: "Eligible for a performance-based bonus tied to individual and company performance." We'll combine maybe as list. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We must not include Job ID etc. Now produce HTML fragment:

      About the role

      ... combine About GEP and Position Overview paragraphs.

      Then

      Responsibilities

        ... each responsibility as
      • .
      Then

      Requirements

      Make sure to preserve all info. Let's craft paragraphs. About GEP paragraph: "GEP is a global technology and consulting company that helps leading enterprises transform their procurement and supply chain operations. Our teams work across software, consulting, and managed services to help clients improve efficiency, visibility, resilience, and business performance. As GEP continues to grow globally, our Legal function is also evolving. We are looking for an experienced Senior Corporate Counsel who can bring structure, ownership, and practical legal guidance to a fast-moving, international business environment." Position Overview paragraph: "This is a corporate-focused role with primary responsibility for entity management, corporate governance, corporate records, transaction support, and legal process improvement across GEP’s global business. This is an opportunity to join GEP at an important stage of growth and help shape the next phase of the Legal function. The role offers direct exposure to the General Counsel and senior leadership, broad ownership of corporate governance and entity management work, and the ability to build structure in a global legal environment that is continuing to mature. This role will report directly to the General Counsel and partner closely with Finance, Tax, HR, Operations, senior leadership, external counsel, registered agents, and other business stakeholders. The ideal candidate will bring strong corporate governance judgment, hands-on experience with entity formation and maintenance, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a growing, high-ownership legal environment." Combine into one

      maybe two paragraphs? Could be separate

      but instruction: use

      for prose. Could have multiple

      inside section. We'll put two

      tags. Now responsibilities list items: need to split sentences. Let's extract sentences: 1.
