Assistant General Counsel (NY)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we can use those headings; not required to use only those but they are examples. Safer to stick to those headings. So we will have sections: About the role (maybe combine About The Team and About The Job?), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (if separate). But we have hybrid schedule info; we could put under Benefits or Schedule. Since they said create Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state hybrid schedule. So we can have Schedule section with that detail. Benefits section can list other benefits.
Thus sections:
- About the role (maybe combine About The Team and About The Job into prose)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (or Qualifications) (list)
- Benefits (list)
- Pay (salary range)
- Schedule (hybrid schedule)
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About The Team: "The Legal Department handles all of KBRA’s legal matters, with the exception of ratings analysis and determinations. The Legal Department works with analysts, compliance, finance, technology and senior management across the company."
About The Job: "As an Assistant General Counsel, your responsibilities may span a broad range of in-house legal matters and may include the review, negotiation and drafting of client engagement letters; subscription agreements with clients across various product offerings; vendor agreements for various types of services and products; all other types of contracts to which KBRA may be a party; and management of KBRA’s contracts. Your work may also extend to legal and regulatory matters arising across KBRA’s U.S., UK, EU, and broader international operations."
Then "You May Also Be Responsible For The Following Engagement Letters/Business Development: ..." etc. That's a list of specific responsibilities.
We need to combine responsibilities into a list (- ). Should we separate into two lists? Probably one list covering all responsibilities.
Let's list responsibilities:
- Review, negotiate and draft engagement letters with clients across all sectors in which KBRA issues ratings, including structured finance, project finance, and financial institutions.
- Serve as a resource for Business Development with respect to questions that arise during the client engagement process.
- Support corporate governance matters, including assisting with board and committee meetings, preparation of materials, and related governance processes and documentation.
- Gain familiarity with data privacy laws in the jurisdictions in which KBRA operates, collaborate with the Information Security team on best practices across jurisdictions, and support the implementation of cybersecurity, operational resilience, and related regulatory requirements.
- Gain familiarity with the regulatory framework, laws and regulations applicable to credit rating agencies and how regulations affect all aspects of KBRA; advise KBRA’s employees about the applicability of regulations on KBRA’s day-to-day work.

- Assist with protecting KBRA’s intellectual property, including filing and managing trademark and copyright registrations, and negotiating license agreements.
Also earlier responsibilities: review, negotiation and drafting of client engagement letters; subscription agreements with clients across various product offerings; vendor agreements for various types of services and products; all other types of contracts to which KBRA may be a party; and management of KBRA’s contracts. Work may also extend to legal and regulatory matters arising across KBRA’s U.S., UK, EU, and broader international operations.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate. Let's consolidate:
- Review, negotiate, and draft client engagement letters.
- Review, negotiate, and draft subscription agreements with clients across various product offerings.
- Review, negotiate, and draft vendor agreements for various types of services and products.
- Review, negotiate, and draft all other types of contracts to which KBRA may be a party.
- Manage KBRA’s contracts.
- Handle legal and regulatory matters across KBRA’s U.S., UK, EU, and broader international operations.
- Serve as a resource for Business Development regarding client engagement process questions.
- Support corporate governance matters (board/committee meetings, materials preparation, governance processes/documentation).
- Gain familiarity with data privacy laws; collaborate with Information Security on best practices; support implementation of cybersecurity, operational resilience, and related regulatory requirements.
- Gain familiarity with regulatory framework applicable to credit rating agencies; advise employees on regulatory applicability to day-to-day work.
- Collaborate with Compliance Department on SEC matters (annual examinations, submissions, requests).
- Collaborate with Regulatory and Government Affairs group on research, registration documents, regulatory requests.
- Assist with protecting intellectual property: file and manage trademark/copyright registrations; negotiate license agreements.
Now Requirements/Qualifications: "You will be successful in this role if you have: Have a JD and admission to the New York bar Have at least 6-10+ years of experience Possess a strong background in reviewing, drafting and negotiating agreements Have familiarity with corporate governance matters Have knowledge of securities laws and experience working in highly regulated environments Structured finance, capital markets, and mergers and acquisitions experience are a plus Have strong verbal and written communication skills. Writing samples will be requested Have strong research, analysis, organizational, and project management skills with excellent attention to detail Employment law experience is a plus Familiarity with Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT for research, data insights, and general productivity is a plus."
We need to turn into list items. Possibly separate required vs plus? But we can just list all.
List:
- JD and admission to the New York bar.
- At least 6-10+ years of experience.
- Strong background in reviewing, drafting, and negotiating agreements.

- Knowledge of securities laws and experience working in highly regulated environments.

Now Benefits: "Benefits A hybrid work schedule (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays in the office)Competitive benefits and paid time offPaid family and disability leave401(k) plan, including employer match (100% vested)Educational and professional development financial assistanceEmployee referral bonus program"
We need to separate into list items:
- Hybrid work schedule (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays in the office)
- Competitive benefits and paid time off
- Paid family and disability leave
- 401(k) plan, including employer match (100% vested)
- Educational and professional development financial assistance
- Employee referral bonus program
Now Pay: "Salary Range The anticipated annual base salary range for this full-time position is $200,000 to $250,000. Offer amounts are determined by factors such as experience, skills, geography, and other job-related factors."
We can put as paragraph.
Now Schedule: Actually hybrid schedule already in Benefits. But we could still have Schedule section with that detail. However to avoid duplication, maybe we keep schedule under Benefits. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state hybrid schedule, so we could have Schedule section with that detail. But then Benefits would lose that bullet. Could duplicate? Better to have Schedule section for hybrid schedule, and Benefits for other benefits. That respects not duplicating. Let's do that.
Thus:
- Schedule: Hybrid work schedule (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays in the office)
- Benefits: Competitive benefits and paid time off; Paid family and disability leave; 401(k) plan, including employer match (100% vested); Educational and professional development financial assistance; Employee referral bonus program.
Now About the role: combine About The Team and About The Job into prose paragraphs.
We need to use
