We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Who We Are" maybe? 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 (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. Thus we need to parse the job posting and extract sections. The posting includes: - Who We Are (company description) - About The Role - About The Work (responsibilities) - About You (qualifications/requirements) - Pay info: base pay range, bonus, equity, benefits. - Benefits: mention "competitive benefits package" but not specifics. - Schedule: not mentioned. - Also mention "At Nuro, we celebrate differences..." EEO statement (should be removed as boilerplate). - Also mention "Nuro is proud to be an equal opportunity employer..." remove. We need to decide which sections to include. We have substantive content for: - About the role (description) - Responsibilities (About The Work) - Qualifications/Requirements (About You) - Pay (base pay range, bonus, equity) - Benefits (mention of competitive benefits package, but not specific; maybe we can include Benefits section with that statement? The rule: never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state "competitive benefits package." That's a statement, albeit vague. It's not placeholder like "not specified". It's a specific statement: "competitive benefits package." So we can include Benefits section with that sentence. - Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. - Skills: not explicitly separate; could be part of About You. But we could include Skills section if we extract skills from About You: e.g., "strategic thinking, strong program management, bias toward action, judgment, legal instincts, business acumen, fast-paced, juggling multiple tasks, excitement about AV company, opportunity in ambiguity, engage with teams, fast and precise writer, impact, technically proficient, California Bar member." Those are qualifications/skills. Could put them under Skills section. However we already have About You (qualifications). The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine About You into Requirements/Qualifications and Skills maybe. But we need to use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities (About The Work), Qualifications (About You), Pay, Benefits. Could also include Skills but maybe redundant with Qualifications. Since we prefer few sections, we could omit Skills and put those details under Qualifications. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. We need to use

for each section heading. Inside each section, we need to use

for prose and

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details from each section. Let's extract: About The Role (section): "As Senior Employment Counsel, you will provide pragmatic day-to-day employment law advice in order to unblock business needs, mitigate risk, and incorporate best employment compliance practices throughout the company. You’ll play a critical role in building and upholding Nuro’s culture and helping prepare Nuro for the challenges and opportunities of launching a commercial product. This role will report directly to the Chief Legal Officer and serve as a key partner to the People team and business leaders, providing the legal, strategic, and operational framework to support an expanding global workforce." We should keep that as prose (

    ). About The Work (Responsibilities): It's a long paragraph with many duties. We need to break into list items? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a list of duties; we can convert each sentence or clause into
    • . However we must preserve all substantive information; we can either keep as prose or list. Since it's a list of duties, better to use
      • . We need to split into items. Let's parse the responsibilities paragraph: "As the head of Nuro’s employment law function, you will be the owner of the company’s employment practices, actively seeking out opportunities to add value and strengthen the day-to-day activities of our People and Operations teams. You will advise on best practices and risk mitigation for the entire employee life-cycle (from recruiting to separation).You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that our employment policies, practices and programs are legally sound and best in class. You will and maintain employment templates, policies, and training. You’ll also be the primary point of contact for any employment pre-litigation and litigation matters, including any agency charges (DLSE, EEOC, DOL, CDR, etc.), discovery, motion practice, witness preparation, settlement negotiations, and trial/arbitration strategies, and you will help supervise and direct outside counsel support as necessary. You will partner closely with the People and Operations team to assist in the scaling of Nuro’s non-exempt workforce, including wage and hour compliance, drug testing regulations, and terminations.You will own the employment legal and operation strategy for international growth and mobility issues, including to the EU, Asia, and Canada.You will partner closely on internal investigations and employee relations matters, including processes and policies and recommendations.You will support and advise on a wide variety of cross-functional areas, including leaves of absences and accommodations, performance management, contingent workers, compensation, privacy, immigration, and export control compliance." We need to fix grammar: "You will and maintain employment templates, policies, and training." likely missing "draft". But we keep as is. We'll create list items for each sentence. Now About You (Qualifications): It's a paragraph with bullet-like statements separated by periods. We can also convert to list. Extract: "You are an experienced attorney who brings strategic thinking, strong program management, and a bias toward action and: You’re experienced. You have 7+ years of combined law firm and in-house experience focused on employment law, including extensive experience in California. Experience scaling a fast growing company nationally and internationally is a plus. Experience at private and public companies is a plus. You’re renowned for your judgment. You have a proven combination of great legal instincts and business acumen. You’re comfortable making the big calls regarding legal risk. You thrive in fast-paced environments, expertly juggling multiple tasks. You’re excited about working at an AV company operating on public roads across the globe and pride yourself on just getting stuff done - clearing the way for the business to move fast and scale. You see opportunity in ambiguity. You have experience in spaces where law and regulation is ambiguous, unarticulated, or entirely absent. You are able to identify not just requirements for compliance, but opportunities to lead and define best practices. You know how to engage with teams and their leaders. You are expert in helping other team leaders deliver on their priorities on account of your practical approach to providing legal advice and hustle. You’re a fast and precise writer. You are comfortable taking first pen on documents in a range of legal and compliance contexts; able to tailor your writing to audiences; and quickly produce written product that is polished and ready for commercial, public, government, or other external consumption. You care deeply about impact. You are passionate that your work makes a significant impact on the lives of millions of people — and recognize the responsibility that comes with it. You are technically proficient, and at least as comfortable working with modern tools like AI as you are working manually. You’re a member of the California Bar. Admission in other jurisdictions is also a plus." We can turn each bullet into
      • . Also we need to keep the introductory sentence maybe as prose before list. Now Pay: "At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position, the reasonably expected base pay range is between $193,930 and $291,150 for the level at which this job has been scoped. Your base pay will depend on several factors, including your experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills. In the event that you are considered for a different level, a higher or lower pay range would apply. This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package." We can put as prose (

        ) maybe also list for components? But it's fine as prose. Benefits: The posting mentions "competitive benefits package" but no specifics. However we have also "At Nuro, we celebrate differences..." which is EEO boilerplate to remove. The benefits statement is just that phrase. We could include Benefits section with that sentence: "This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package." Actually that sentence includes bonus, equity, benefits. But we already covered bonus and equity in Pay section? The Pay section includes base pay range and mentions eligibility for annual performance bonus, equity, and competitive benefits package. So we could keep that in Pay section. But we could also separate Benefits: "competitive benefits package". However to avoid duplication, we could keep Pay section includes base pay, bonus, equity, benefits. Then we don't need separate Benefits section. But the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine Pay and Benefits into one Pay section that includes base pay, bonus, equity, benefits. That's acceptable. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay (including base pay, bonus, equity, benefits). No Schedule. Now we need to output HTML fragment:

        About the role

        ...

        etc. We must not include any extra text like explanations. Let's craft. First section: About the role.

        About the role

This role will report directly to the Chief Legal Officer and serve as a key partner to the People team and business leaders, providing the legal, strategic, and operational framework to support an expanding global workforce.

        Second: Responsibilities.
