We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, maybe skills. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should include About the role (maybe a brief paragraph summarizing role), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Skills (maybe combine with qualifications? but we can separate if there is content). The posting includes "Key Responsibilities" with bullet-like paragraphs. We'll need to turn those into
- . Also "Qualifications" section includes list of qualifications. Also there is mention of "Experience with a multi-dimensional business..." etc. That's qualifications. Also there is "Private Equity experience is a plus." etc. Also "Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree..." etc. Also "Minimum of 15 years..." etc. So we can put those under Qualifications. Skills: The posting includes "Strong negotiation, communication, and interpersonal skills..." etc. That could be under Skills. Also "Strategic thinker with excellent problem-solving abilities..." etc. So we can create Skills section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like "This position will accept applications on an ongoing basis until filled." That's application instruction; we should drop it. Also remove any EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the description. Let's extract: About the role: The first paragraph: "Shutterfly is looking for a General Counsel who will serve as the lead attorney for all Shutterfly brands by providing legal guidance and strategic counsel to the company's senior leadership team. This role requires a dynamic leader with extensive legal expertise, strategic acumen, and a deep understanding of the legal landscape in which we operate. You will play a pivotal role in shaping our corporate strategy, protecting our interests, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations." That's about the role. Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Key Responsibilities" includes several categories: Legal Strategy and Leadership, Corporate Governance and Compliance, Risk Management and Mitigation, Contract Negotiation and Management, Intellectual Property and Privacy, Employee Relations, Litigation and Dispute Resolution, Regulatory and Consumer Protection. Each has sub-bullets. We need to turn each bullet into
- . Probably we can flatten: each subpoint as li. Or we could keep headings inside li? But we must use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a
- with
- items each being a responsibility statement. We'll need to capture all.

Also "Ability to multi-task..." etc. But many of those are already in qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could put skills separate but ensure we don't repeat same content. However instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we split qualifications and skills, we might duplicate some content if we put same sentences in both sections. Better to keep qualifications as is, and maybe not have a separate Skills section unless there is distinct skills content not already captured. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; the qualifications list includes skills. So we could omit Skills section to avoid duplication. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. That's three sections. No Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Thus output HTML:
