Artificial Intelligence and Data Privacy Counsel (Associate Counsel) - 2407
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the description.
The description includes:
- Duties: Provides legal advice and review of the Department’s use of AI and emerging technologies, including compliance with applicable state and federal privacy laws and regulations. Analyzes state and federal laws and regulations involving AI and emerging technologies. Provides legal guidance to ensure AI and emerging technologies used within the Department comply with applicable privacy, intellectual property, and licensing requirements. Provides legal guidance on data privacy legal issues. Supervises and provides guidance to Senior Attorneys on legal matters. Represents the Department of Health in discussions, agreements, and negotiations with the Executive Chamber, Division of Budget, Legislature, state and federal agencies, and external stakeholders. Collaborates with Department program staff on legislative drafting and analysis and the development of statutes and regulations to advance Department priorities within applicable legal parameters. Consults with colleagues within the Division of Legal Affairs on matters related to the incumbent’s areas of expertise and provides guidance and education to other attorneys, as necessary. Assists with litigation, as necessary.
That's duties/responsibilities.
- Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: Candidates must have been admitted to the New York State Bar and must have had four years of experience in the practice of law subsequent to admission to the Bar. Preferred Qualifications: Experience or knowledge with legal issues involving artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, and data governance Knowledge of NYS legislative and regulatory processes Strong legal research and legal writing skills Strong written and verbal communication skills Strong time management and organizational skills Ability to provide clear, consistent legal advice on complex matters Ability to work collaboratively with program staff, attorneys, government entities, and outside stakeholders
- Additional Comments: includes travel requirement, benefits description, mission statement, accommodation contact, E-Verify note, salary info.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe list of skills), Benefits (benefits description), Pay (salary info), Schedule (maybe not present). The posting does not mention schedule specifics, so we should not include Schedule section.
We need to include only sections with real specific content.
We have:
- About the role: Could be a short paragraph summarizing the role: "Provides legal advice and review of the Department’s use of AI and emerging technologies..." That's essentially duties. But we can treat "About the role" as a brief overview separate from responsibilities. However the instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include About the role if there is content. The description starts with "Description Duties Description Provides legal advice..." It might be considered the role description. We'll include About the role as a
summarizing the role. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (maybe combine with Requirements? But we can separate: Requirements = minimum, Qualifications = preferred). Or we could treat Qualifications as both minimum and preferred. But we have both sections. - Skills: list of skills from preferred qualifications: Strong legal research and legal writing skills, Strong written and verbal communication skills, Strong time management and organizational skills, Ability to provide clear, consistent legal advice on complex matters, Ability to work collaboratively with program staff, attorneys, government entities, and outside stakeholders. Also maybe Experience or knowledge with legal issues involving AI, emerging technologies, and data governance; Knowledge of NYS legislative and regulatory processes. Those could be skills as well. - Benefits: The benefits paragraph: "We offer a work-life balance and a generous benefits package, worth 65% of salary, including: Holiday & Paid Time Off Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Pension from New York State Employees’ Retirement System Shift & Geographic pay differentials Affordable Health Care options Family dental and vision benefits at no additional cost NYS Deferred Compensation plan Access to NY 529 and NY ABLE College Savings Programs, and U.S. Savings Bonds And many more..." We need to format as
- for list.
- Pay: The posting includes: "For new State employees appointed to graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate of the position (beginning of the salary range). Promotion salaries are calculated by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller in accordance with NYS Civil Service Law, OSC Payroll rules and regulations, and negotiated union contracts." That's not a specific number but describes salary determination. It's somewhat generic but still specific content about pay. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state something about pay (salary is hiring rate, promotion salaries calculated). So we can include Pay section with that info.
- Schedule: Not present, not present, omit.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text includes accommodation contact, E-Verify note, mission statement, etc. Those might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The accommodation contact and mission statement might be considered legal/EEO? Not exactly. The mission statement about health equity might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but could be considered organizational description. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The mission statement is not EEO but could be considered organizational description; not sure if we should keep. The accommodation contact is likely part of application instructions (reasonable accommodation). That might be considered application instructions, so we should remove. The E-Verify note is legal boilerplate; remove. The mission statement maybe not required but could be considered fluff; but we might keep as part of About the role? However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The mission statement is substantive? It's about department's commitment; maybe not essential to the job but still part of posting. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Mission statement is not those. So we could keep it in About the role or a separate section? But we only have sections defined; we could include it in About the role paragraph.
We also have "If you require reasonable accommodation..." that's application instructions, remove.
We also have "The NYS Department of Health does not participate in E-Verify and does not sponsor visa applications." That's legal boilerplate, remove.
We also have "For new State employees appointed to graded positions..." that's pay info, keep.
We also have "We offer a work-life balance and a generous benefits package..." keep.
We also have "Additional Comments When reviewing qualifications, omissions and vagueness cannot be interpreted in the candidate’s favor. Candidates are responsible for providing accurate and clear descriptions of their experience demonstrating how they meet the minimum qualifications. This position may require travel throughout New York State including overnights to areas not served by public transportation." That's substantive: travel requirement and qualification note. We should keep that. Where to place? Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The note about omissions and vagueness is a qualification instruction; could be under Requirements. Travel requirement could be under Responsibilities or a separate section like "Travel". But we don't have a heading for travel; we could incorporate into Responsibilities as a bullet.
Thus we need to produce HTML with sections:
About the role
Provides legal advice and review of the Department’s use of AI and emerging technologies, including compliance with applicable state and federal privacy laws and regulations. Analyzes state and federal laws and regulations involving AI and emerging technologies. Provides legal guidance to ensure AI and emerging technologies used within the Department comply with applicable privacy, intellectual property, and licensing requirements. Provides legal guidance on data privacy legal issues. Supervises and provides guidance to Senior Attorneys on legal matters. Represents the Department of Health in discussions, agreements, and negotiations with the Executive Chamber, Division of Budget, Legislature, state and federal agencies, and external stakeholders. Collaborates with Department program staff on legislative drafting and analysis and the development of statutes and regulations to advance Department priorities within applicable legal parameters. Consults with colleagues within the Division of Legal Affairs on matters related to the incumbent’s areas of expertise and provides guidance and education to other attorneys, as necessary. Assists with litigation, as necessary. May require travel throughout New York State including overnights to areas not served by public transportation.
But we might separate travel as its own bullet under Responsibilities. Better: Responsibilities section with- each duty. Let's list duties: - Provides legal advice and review of the Department’s use of AI and emerging technologies, including compliance with applicable state and federal privacy laws and regulations. - Analyzes state and federal laws and regulations involving AI and emerging technologies. - Provides legal guidance to ensure AI and emerging technologies used within the Department comply with applicable privacy, intellectual property, and licensing requirements. - Provides legal guidance on data privacy legal issues. - Supervises and provides guidance to Senior Attorneys on legal matters. - Represents the Department of Health in discussions, agreements, and negotiations with the Executive Chamber, Division of Budget, Legislature, state and federal agencies, and external stakeholders. - Collaborates with Department program staff on legislative drafting and analysis and the development of statutes and regulations to advance Department priorities within applicable legal parameters. - Consults with colleagues within the Division of Legal Affairs on matters related to the incumbent’s areas of expertise and provides guidance and education to other attorneys, as necessary. - Assists with litigation, as necessary. - May require travel throughout New York State including overnights to areas not served by public transportation. Now Requirements (minimum qualifications): - Must be admitted to the New York State Bar. - Must have had four years of experience in the practice of law subsequent to admission to the Bar. We could also include the note about omissions and vagueness: "When reviewing qualifications, omissions and vagueness cannot be interpreted in the candidate’s favor. Candidates are responsible for providing accurate and clear descriptions of their experience demonstrating how they meet the minimum qualifications." That's more of an instruction; could be under Requirements as a note. Qualifications (preferred): - Experience or knowledge with legal issues involving artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, and data governance - Knowledge of NYS legislative and regulatory processes - Strong legal research and legal writing skills - Strong written and verbal communication skills - Strong time management and organizational skills - Ability to provide clear, consistent legal advice on complex matters - Ability to work collaboratively with program staff, attorneys, government entities, and outside stakeholders Skills: Could be same as preferred qualifications; but we might separate skills as a list of abilities: legal research, legal writing, written/verbal communication, time management, organizational, providing clear advice, collaborative work. However that duplicates. Perhaps we treat Qualifications as preferred qualifications and Skills as a subset? But we need to avoid thin sections. Maybe we combine Preferred Qualifications and Skills into one section called Qualifications (or Skills). The instruction list includes both Qualifications and Skills as possible headings. We could put preferred qualifications under Qualifications, and skills under Skills (maybe more specific abilities). But we risk thin sections. Better: Use Qualifications for minimum qualifications, and Skills for preferred qualifications/skills. Then we can have Requirements for minimum? Actually we already used Requirements for minimum. Let's map: - About the role: overview paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: minimum qualifications (Bar admission, 4 years experience). - Qualifications: preferred qualifications (experience with AI, knowledge of NYS legislative process, etc.) - Skills: specific skills (legal research, writing, communication, time management, organizational, advice, collaboration). - Benefits: list. - Pay: description. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. The preferred qualifications list includes some skill items; we can split them: keep experience/knowledge
