Assistant Director of Professional Development
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. 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. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes:
- About the role: description of Professional and Organizational Development Unit, responsibilities.
- Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities: managing core professional development programs (Coaching Collaborative, Training Consortium, Mentoring Program); conducting data analysis; advising attorneys on CLE accreditation and compliance; providing subject matter guidance on Performance Appraisal Process; evaluating agency-wide training needs; coordinating development, delivery, assessment of CLE compliant programs; managing Orientation programs; coordinating annual Trial Advocacy program; leading initiatives for attorney integration, retention, engagement; supporting leadership development; collaborating with Divisions and City agencies to enhance specialized practice area training; cultivating external partnerships to expand training resources.
- Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: At least two years of legal experience following graduation from an ABA accredited law school and current NY Bar membership in good standing.
- Salary Information: Salary range: $87,737.00 – $188,235.00, with breakdown by experience years. Also note: "Candidates with highly specialized experience may qualify for salaries slightly above these ranges when a role requires such expertise or the position is considered hard to fill."
- Work From Home Options: description of flexible remote work and citywide pilot program.
- Additional Information: Public Service Loan Forgiveness note, Residency Requirement: NYC Residency not required.
- Also mention: "The Law Department sets salaries for new attorneys based on their post law school legal experience, which typically aligns with their law school graduation year." This is part of salary.
- Also mention: "Following orientation, attorneys may elect to participate in one of two remote work programs: Flexible Remote Work: Allows limited, irregular work from home days. Citywide Pilot Program: Allows attorneys to work remotely on two set days per week, subject to Division approval and staffing needs. Participants must maintain a single designated remote work location, and in person obligations take precedence over scheduled remote days. This pilot is currently being tested across City agencies and is not yet permanent."
- Also mention: "Public Service Loan Forgiveness As a prospective employee of the City of New York, you may be eligible for federal loan forgiveness programs and state repayment assistance programs. For more information, please visit the U.S. Department of Education’s website at https://studentaid.gov/pslf/."
- Also mention: "Residency Requirement New York City Residency is not required for this position"
- Also mention: "The City of New York is an inclusive equal opportunity employer..." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove.
- Also mention: "TO APPLY ***PLEASE ENSURE TO SUBMIT A RESUME, COVER LETTER, WRITING SAMPLE, AND REFERENCES*** https://cityjobs.nyc.gov/job/assistant-corporation-counsel-in-manhattan-jid-45765 Apply Now" - application instructions; remove.
- Also mention: "Posted on 07/24/2026 Full-time Location- MANHATTAN No exam required Department- Executive Salary range: $87,737.00 – $188,235.00" - we can include location and posting date maybe as minor metadata in a short
. The instruction says: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with posting date, location, full-time, etc.
We need to decide sections: Likely we will have:
-
About the role
with prose describing the unit and role.
- Responsibilities
with - list.
-
Qualifications
(or Requirements) with - maybe just one item.
-
Pay
with prose describing salary ranges and breakdown.
- Schedule
maybe not needed because schedule not specified; but we have remote work options; maybe we can treat as "Work Arrangement" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put remote work options under Benefits? Or Schedule? The schedule is not specified; remote work options could be considered Benefits? Actually remote work is a work arrangement, maybe under Benefits? But we have a Benefits heading allowed; we could include remote work options as a benefit. However the instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state remote work options, which could be considered a benefit (work flexibility). So we can create a Benefits section with remote work options.
But also there is Public Service Loan Forgiveness info; that could be a benefit as well.
Thus we can have Benefits section with bullet list: Flexible Remote Work options, Citywide Pilot Program, Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility.
We also have Residency Requirement: NYC Residency not required; could be a note under Benefits or maybe under About the role? Probably better as a short note in Benefits or maybe as a separate line in About the role? But we can include it in Benefits as a bullet: "New York City residency not required."
We also have Salary range details; we will put under Pay.
We have no explicit Skills section; we could omit.
We have no explicit Requirements beyond qualifications; we can combine Requirements and Qualifications maybe as one section Qualifications.
We need to avoid filler headings. So we will produce sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits.
Check each for substantive content.
About the role: we have description of unit and role: "The Professional and Organizational Development Unit plays a central role..." etc. We'll put that as prose.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: At least two years of legal experience following graduation from an ABA accredited law school and current NY Bar membership in good standing.
Pay: Salary range and breakdown.
Benefits: Remote work options, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, Residency not required.
We should also maybe include that the position is full-time; but that's minor metadata; could be included in About the role or a short paragraph.
We need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate, navigation, etc.
Now produce HTML fragment: only the sections, no or . Use for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to ensure we don't include any markdown code fences.
Let's craft.
First, maybe a short paragraph for posting metadata: "Posted on July 24, 2026. Full-time position located in Manhattan, New York City." This is minor metadata; we can put as a
before sections or within About the role? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can add a
at top.
Then sections.
Let's write:
Posted on July 24, 2026. Full-time position located in Manhattan, New York City.
