Vice President, Legal - Litigation, Employment Law, Compliance
for section headings. The rules say: use 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.
I need to NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). The job title appears to be "Vice President, Legal" but it's not explicitly stated as a heading in the text - it's in the first paragraph. I should not include it as a heading.
I should fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. There's no Job ID/requisition number visible.
I must 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. The text includes "Owens Corning is an equal opportunity employer..." at the end - that's EEO boilerplate, should remove.
Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting doesn't mention pay, schedule, or benefits explicitly, so no those sections.
Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
Now, let me structure the HTML.
I'll create sections:
- About the role (for the purpose paragraph)
- Responsibilities (with subsections as nested lists or separate headings? The rules say use
for section headings. The responsibilities have clear sub-sections. I could make each sub-section an but that might be too many. The example headings include "Responsibilities" as a heading. I think I should have one "Responsibilities" heading and then use - for the bullet points, but the sub-sections are thematic groups. I could use
for sub-sections? But the rules only mention for section headings. It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other heading levels, but to be safe, I'll use for main sections and maybe for sub-sections? However, the instruction says "use for section headings" and doesn't mention other levels. I think I should keep it flat: each major section as . The responsibilities sub-sections could be separate headings? That would be many headings. But the example includes "Responsibilities" as a heading. I'll make "Responsibilities" an and then list all the bullet points under it, grouping by sub-section using maybe labels or just list items. But the content has distinct categories. I could create separate for each responsibility area: "Enterprise Litigation Leadership", "Strategic Legal Counsel", etc. That would be more semantic. The rules say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say I cannot have other headings. I think it's okay to have multiple for each logical section. The posting has clear sections: Purpose, Key Responsibilities (with subsections), Job Requirements (Required Qualifications), Preferred Qualifications, Leadership Success Profile, About Owens Corning. I'll make each an .
But note: "Key Responsibilities" is a heading in the text, and then there are sub-headings. I'll treat each sub-heading as an as well? That would be: Enterprise Litigation Leadership, Strategic Legal Counsel, Financial Stewardship and Risk Management, Outside Counsel Management, Legal Department Leadership, Enterprise Leadership. That's six headings. Then "Job Requirements" maybe split into "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". And "Leadership Success Profile". And "About Owens Corning". That's many sections but they are substantive.
The rule: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." But each of these has substantial content. I think it's fine.
I'll structure as:

About Owens Corning
...company description...
I need to remove the EEO statement at the end. Also remove "Except in limited circumstances such as formal apprenticeship programs, Owens Corning does not employ anyone under the age of 18." That's also boilerplate.
Now, I need to convert each bullet point from the text. The text uses bullet points with hyphens? Actually the text is formatted with line breaks and hyphens. I'll extract each bullet.
Let me parse the content.
First paragraph: "PURPOSE OF THE JOB The Vice President, Legal serves as the enterprise leader directly responsible for Owens Corning's global litigation function and for leading the employment law and compliance functions. This role has direct responsibility for all litigation matters in the United States and Canada and provides strategic leadership, governance, and oversight for litigation, employment law and compliance matters globally through a network of internal legal professionals and external counsel.
