Legal$225k–$260k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only sections that have real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. We need to parse the posting. First, "About Orchard" is description of company; not a required heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only include those headings if content exists. "About Orchard" is not in list, but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About The Role" is present. So we need a section "About the role". That corresponds to the paragraph after "About The Role". We'll put that content under

About the role

with

. Then responsibilities: The bullet list under "What You’ll Do Here". That's a list of duties. So we need

Responsibilities

with
  • each. Then requirements/qualifications/skills: The posting has "We’d Love to Hear From You if You Are ..." which lists qualifications. Could split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. But we need to decide based on content. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have Pay info: "The pay range for this position in New York City is $225K–$260K." Also mention stock options etc. So we can have Pay section. Schedule: "We are on a hybrid schedule, in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays." Also mention location preferences. So we can have Schedule section. Benefits: The posting mentions "Stock options and other incentive pay may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, depending on the position offered." That's benefits info. So we can have Benefits section. Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The bullet list of qualifications: "a broad-based attorney with at least 7 years of experience..." etc. Could be split but we can combine into one section maybe "Requirements". However we have three possible headings; we could use Requirements for the main qualifications, and maybe Skills for specific skills like data privacy, etc. But to avoid thin sections, maybe just use Requirements and Qualifications combined? But we need to follow instruction: Use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We can decide to include Requirements and Qualifications as separate if content distinct enough. Let's see content: The qualifications paragraph includes many items: experience, commercial contracts, residential real estate laws, navigating regulations, entrepreneur mindset, independent work, collaboration, drive for results, attention to detail, data privacy experience (optional), bar admission. That's a mix of requirements and skills. Could split: Requirements: years of experience, bar admission, experience with commercial contracts, residential real estate laws. Skills: data privacy, negotiation, etc. But the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe just one section "Requirements" that includes all. Then we can omit Qualifications and Skills headings. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check if any other content: "About Orchard" description could be considered "About the role"? No, it's about company. Could we include a section "About the company"? Not in allowed headings. So we should omit that description? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. But we cannot add headings not in list. However we could embed the About Orchard description within the About the role section? That would be inaccurate. Better to include a

    before the headings? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment, no /. It didn't forbid extra paragraphs not under headings. It says 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. It doesn't say we cannot have prose outside headings. So we can include a

      for the About Orchard description before the headings. That preserves info. Similarly, we might have a short paragraph about location preferences etc. That could go under Schedule or maybe a separate

      . But we can incorporate location preferences into Schedule section. Now we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Orchard is proud to be an equal opportunity employer..." that's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "This information is provided per the New York City Human Rights Law." That's legal; maybe remove? It's about pay range disclosure; could be considered substantive? It's a legal notice but maybe we should remove as boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So remove that line. Also "Please note that the range provided is applicable only to New York City-based applicants. Base compensation may vary if the work location is outside of New York City." That's part of pay info; it's substantive about pay variation; keep. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed. Now craft HTML. Start with a

      about Orchard: "Orchard is transforming the way people buy and sell their homes. Simplifying it, to the way it should have always been; fair and true to market, straightforward, easy. Every year in the U.S., $1.5 trillion of single family homes transact, generating over $120 billion of fees in a process that has changed little in decades. For the average American, the home purchase and sale process takes months, creates anxiety and is filled with uncertainty and hassle. Orchard offers a modern alternative, making one of life's biggest decisions -- the sale and purchase of a home –so stress free, fair and simple that people cannot imagine any other way. Orchard is headquartered in New York City, has 150+ employees, a network of 600 agents and has grown nearly 2x year over the last 2 years. We have raised equity financing from top tier investors including: Firstmark, Accomplice, Revolution Growth, Navitas and Juxtapose." Then

      About the role

      with paragraph: "Orchard is looking for an Associate General Counsel to join our dynamic and quickly expanding team. As the third member of the Legal & Regulatory team, you are ready to roll up your sleeves and make an immediate impact. You will play a key role in our rapidly growing business, partnering with teams across the company to help build and evolve our product offerings, expand to new jurisdictions, and further develop and mature our business lines, all while balancing business objectives and legal risk across the multiple highly-regulated sectors in which we operate. You will work across all of our business units and make meaningful contributions to each. And as the company continues to grow, there is significant opportunity to take on additional responsibilities and leadership roles. The ideal candidate is a highly self-motivated, business-minded attorney who enjoys operating autonomously, successfully navigates ambiguity, and can manage multiple projects and competing priorities comfortably. This person brings extraordinary judgment and interpersonal skills to the role. While highly effective and an innovative thinker, you take a humble approach to your job, allowing your work to speak for itself. By building a track record of sound advice and success, you will become a trusted advisor to senior leadership and teams across the company. We are looking for candidates who are excited about the opportunity to help grow Orchard’s business in an entrepreneurial yet compliant manner, while working with diverse groups of stakeholders to get things done in a complex and fast moving environment. This is a full-time role that will report to the General Counsel and will be based out of our New York City office. We are on a hybrid schedule, in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. While our preference is for New York based candidates, we may be open to candidates in one of the following areas: Washington DC, CA, CO, FL, GA, MA, MI, MS, NC, NJ, NY, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, or WA." But note schedule info is duplicated; we might move schedule details to Schedule section and not repeat. However the About the role paragraph includes schedule and location preferences. We could keep a brief mention but better to avoid duplication. The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should not duplicate schedule info. So in About the role we can omit schedule and location details, just say "This is a full-time role that will report to the General Counsel and will be based out of our New York City office." Then schedule and location go to Schedule section. Thus About the role paragraph: "Orchard is looking for an Associate General Counsel to join our dynamic and quickly expanding team. As the third member of the Legal & Regulatory team, you are ready to roll up your sleeves and make an immediate impact. You will play a key role in our rapidly growing business, partnering with teams across the company to help build and evolve our product offerings, expand to new jurisdictions, and further develop and mature our business lines, all while balancing business objectives and legal risk across the multiple highly-regulated sectors in which we operate. You will work across all of our business units and make meaningful contributions to each. And as the company continues to grow, there is significant opportunity to take on additional responsibilities and leadership roles.

This is a full-time role that will report to the General Counsel and will be based out of our New York City office." Now Responsibilities: list from "What You’ll Do Here". Each bullet. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each bullet: - Act as a legal swiss-army knife, working independently across several different legal practice areas, but with a particular focus on commercial and regulatory issues and building out Orchard’s products and services in compliance with the legal and regulatory frameworks governing residential real estate. - Act as the go-to person for Orchard’s commercial partnerships. From inception to execution, you will have a seat at the table and will drive deals independently. - Assist our mortgage company to build out that company’s product and service offerings and delivery, as well as policies, controls, and structure to be compliant with applicable federal and state legal frameworks, while also taking a leadership role in expanding its reach into additional states. - Work with our title companies to help innovate, streamline and create customer delight in the delivery of those companies’ services, all while maintaining compliance with applicable state laws and regulations. - Partner with our Product & Engineering Teams to design and iterate how our products and services are provided to customers, helping to intelligently balance innovation and growth with legal and regulatory risk. - Engage with and build relationships with state regulators, in particular in connection with expansion of our businesses into new states, our ongoing operational compliance, and any regulatory inquiries or examinations that may arise. - Manage outside law firms across a variety of practice areas, while balancing cost and effectiveness
