We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. We have job description summary: includes description of role. Could be "About the role". Then "Responsibilities" list. Then "Knowledge", "Skill", "Ability To" maybe combine into Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. The posting includes Education/Previous Experience, Licenses/Certifications, Education, Work Experience, Certifications, Travel, Workstyle, Benefits description, compensation note. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions (none). Remove cookie/navigation etc. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits package. So we can include Benefits section. Pay: there is mention "The total compensation for this position includes base salary or wages, and may include components such as additional compensation (cash or equity), discretionary bonuses, or commissions." That's about pay. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: there is "The position is located at the corporate headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, and currently requires working in the office on at least 3 days." Also "Workstyle Hybrid". So schedule info: hybrid, at least 3 days in office. So we can include Schedule section. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need bullet list. For knowledge, skill, ability maybe also list. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

    About the role

    Under direction but with a high level of autonomy, uses knowledge and skills obtained through education and experience to manage or assist with a variety of litigation matters with a significant focus on securities-related matters in FINRA’s arbitration forum and in federal and state courts. Will maintain and manage a caseload and will also work collaboratively on matters with more experienced in-house litigators, and will develop strategy, prepare answers to statements of claim or complaints, engage in discovery and motion practice, engage in settlement negotiations and mediations, and conduct arbitration final hearings. In addition to the foregoing, will manage outside counsel in significant litigation matters and will provide litigation-related legal advice across the Raymond James entities. Will also have extensive contact with internal clients, senior management and outside counsel. The position is located at the corporate headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, and currently requires working in the office on at least 3 days.

    But schedule info maybe better in Schedule section. We could keep location and hybrid in About the role? But schedule section will contain that. We could keep location in About the role and schedule details in Schedule. Let's extract schedule: "The position is located at the corporate headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, and currently requires working in the office on at least 3 days." Also "Workstyle Hybrid". So schedule section: hybrid work, at least 3 days in office, located in St. Petersburg, FL. Now Responsibilities: we have a list after "Responsibilities Job Description". Actually there is a heading "Responsibilities Job Description". Then a paragraph then bullet-like sentences. We'll extract each duty as list item. Responsibilities list: - Provides legal review and represents the organization on litigation matters. - Is responsible for managing a portfolio of litigation matters, primarily consisting of FINRA customer arbitrations, as well as collaborating on matters with more senior in-house litigators. - Coordinates with outside counsel in activities as required. - Drafts documents and performs legal research associated with litigation matters. - Maintains currency in legal issues in litigation. - Provides advice, counsel, and recommendations to senior management on litigation matters. - Works with outside counsel in connection with litigation matters and specific legal and regulatory issues. - Prepares and delivers written and oral presentations to management and senior management on litigation matters. - Leads the work of others and may train, coach and mentor others. - Fosters teamwork to deliver exceptional service and maintain effective working relationships with internal clients, stakeholders and team members. - Performs other duties and responsibilities as assigned. We'll put these in
    • . Now Knowledge, Skill, Ability To sections: Could be combined into Requirements or Qualifications. The posting has "Knowledge Of", "Skill In", "Ability To". We could make a section "Requirements" with sub-sections? But we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to put knowledge under Requirements, skill under Skills, ability under Qualifications perhaps. Or we could combine all into Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: use those headings only if real content. We have content for Knowledge, Skill, Ability. So we could create three sections: Requirements (knowledge), Skills (skill), Qualifications (ability). Or we could put knowledge under Requirements, skill under Skills, ability under Qualifications. That seems appropriate. Let's extract Knowledge content: "Advanced concepts, principles and practices of laws and regulations impacting financial institutions and broker/dealers, including those related to FINRA’s arbitration forum and federal and state courts. Advanced principles of banking, finance, and securities industry operations. Advanced principles of financial markets and products." We'll put as
      • . Skill content: "Managing a heavy volume of litigation matters. Collaborating with more experienced lawyers. Performing legal review. Providing legal representation. Reviewing potential legal issues related to litigation matters and providing recommendations for resolution. Performing legal research. Independently drafting, reviewing and revising, and presenting (orally and in writing) analysis to internal customers including management and senior management on litigation matters. Operating standard office equipment and using required software applications." We'll list. Ability To content: "Lead the work of others. Maintain currency in legal issues related to litigation matters. Partner with other functional areas to accomplish objectives. Provide legal advice, counsel and recommendations to senior management on litigation matters. Facilitate meetings, ensuring that all viewpoints, ideas and problems are addressed. Gather information, identify linkages and trends and apply findings to assignments. Use critical thinking skills to read, interpret, analyze, and apply applicable laws. Interpret and apply policies and identify and recommend changes as appropriate. Prioritize and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, dynamically changing environment. Communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, with all organizational levels. Work independently as well as collaboratively within a team environment. Handle stressful situations, a heavy diverse case load, and provide a high level of customer service in a calm and professional manner. Establish and maintain effective working relationships at all levels of the organization." We'll list. Now Education/Previous Experience, Licenses/Certifications, Education, Work Experience, Certifications, Travel, Workstyle. These could go under Qualifications maybe. But we already used Qualifications for Ability To. Could shift: maybe Qualifications includes education, experience, licenses, etc. Ability To could be under Skills? Hmm. We need to decide mapping that preserves all info without duplication. Let's think: The headings we can use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for: - About the role (summary) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (knowledge) - Skills (skill) - Qualifications (education, experience, licenses, certifications, travel, workstyle) - Benefits (benefits description) - Pay (compensation description) - Schedule (hybrid, office days, location) Thus we can map: Requirements: Knowledge Of (advanced concepts etc.) Skills: Skill In (list) Qualifications: Education/Previous Experience, Licenses/Certifications, Education, Work Experience, Certifications, Travel, Workstyle. Let's extract Qualifications content: Education/Previous Experience: "Juris Doctorate with excellent academic credentials and minimum of three (3) year of progressively responsible experience in relevant practice area(s) (law firm and/or in-house in a related area involving financial services industry preferred). OR ~ Any equivalent combination of experience, education, and/or training approved by Human Resources." Licenses/Certifications: "Admitted to the Florida Bar or willing to take the Florida Bar Exam within a short period after beginning employment." Education: "Juris Doctor (JD): Law" Work Experience: "General Experience - 3 to 6 years" Certifications: (maybe same as Licenses/Certifications? Actually there is a line "Certifications" after Work Experience? The posting shows: "Certifications Travel Less than 25% Workstyle Hybrid". Might be a formatting error. We'll treat "Certifications" maybe blank? Actually there is a line: "Certifications Travel Less than 25% Workstyle Hybrid". Could be that Certifications field is empty, then Travel, then Workstyle. We'll interpret: Travel: Less than 25%; Workstyle: Hybrid. Thus Qualifications includes: Education (JD), Experience (3-6 years), Licensure (Florida Bar), Travel (About the role
