Vice President & Assistant General Counsel, Mergers & Acquisitions
for each heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About CoreSite: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About CoreSite" is company description. Could be placed under "About the role"? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. "About CoreSite" could go under "About the role" maybe. Or we could have "About the role" containing description of role and company. The posting includes "About CoreSite:" then description. Then "Vice President, Legal - Mergers & Acquisitions Role:" then description of role. So we can combine into About the role.
- Responsibilities: Duties section.
- Requirements: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities? Actually that is skills. Education/Experience is qualifications. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities is skills. So we can map:
- Requirements: maybe "Education/Experience" (JD, bar, years experience). Could be "Requirements".
- Qualifications: maybe "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities"? But they said headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. So we need three separate: Requirements (maybe education/experience), Qualifications (maybe specific experience like leading transactions >$100M, sector experience), Skills (negotiation, communication, etc). We'll decide.
- Benefits: Benefits section.
- Pay: Compensation section.
- Schedule: maybe hybrid work environment, travel up to 25%, etc. Could be schedule.
We must only include sections if posting has real specific content. All these have content.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
.
We must not include markdown fences.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.

Physical Demands: we could maybe ignore? It's not in headings list. Could be omitted or placed under Requirements? Probably not needed. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. Physical Demands is not one of the headings list, but we could omit. It's not required.

General Statements: work authorization, background check, drug test, privacy notice etc: these are boilerplate legal; we should remove per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we drop those.
Now we need to map to headings.
We'll produce:

Qualifications
Maybe we could put "Physical Demands"? But not needed. Could combine some of the knowledge/skills as Qualifications? Actually the heading list includes Qualifications separate from Skills. We have Knowledge, Skills & Abilities as skills. So Qualifications could be something like "Ideal candidate combines deep M&A expertise with strong commercial judgment and ability to navigate legal, regulatory, real estate, infrastructure, and operational considerations unique to the data center sector." That's from role description. But that's more like a qualification. However we already used that in About the role. Might be redundant.
Better: Use Qualifications for the "Ideal candidate combines deep M&A expertise ..." sentence. But we already included that in About the role. Could split: About the role includes company description and role summary; Qualifications includes the ideal candidate combination. Let's do that.
Thus:
About the role: company description + role reporting line etc.
Qualifications: "The ideal candidate combines deep M&A expertise with strong commercial judgment and the ability to navigate legal, regulatory, real estate, infrastructure, and operational considerations unique to the data center sector."
Skills: the bullet list of Knowledge, Skills & Abilities.
Pay: compensation.
Benefits: benefits list.
Schedule: hybrid work environment, travel up to 25%, etc. Could be under Schedule.
Let's extract schedule info:
- Ability to thrive in a hybrid work environment, with regular on-site presence of up to 2 days per week.
- Flexibility to travel up to 25%, with the potential for increased travel or in-office presence as business needs evolve.
We can put those under Schedule.
Now ensure we don't duplicate content: The hybrid and travel also appear in Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. If we move them to Schedule, we should remove from Skills to avoid duplication. But the instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we move them, we still preserve them, just in a different section. That's okay as long as we keep the info. However we must not duplicate. So we should decide where to place them. Since Schedule is a heading, we can put hybrid and travel there, and remove from Skills list. Then Skills list will have the remaining items.
Let's list Skills (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities) excluding hybrid/travel:
- Exceptional negotiation and influencing skills.
- Strong executive presence and communication abilities.
- Ability to balance legal risk with commercial objectives.
- Strategic mindset and proven business judgment.
- Ability to manage multiple high-value transactions simultaneously.
- Collaborative leadership style and ability to build trusted relationships with senior executives.
- Excellent written and verbal communication to internal and external audiences.
Note: "Strong executive presence and communication abilities." and "Excellent written and verbal communication..." maybe overlapping but keep both as they are distinct.
Now Schedule:
- Ability to thrive in a hybrid work environment, with regular on-site presence of up to 2 days per week.
- Flexibility to travel up to 25%, with the potential for increased travel or in-office presence as business
