Commercial Counsel – US ODC

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Title: US counsel (maybe not needed as heading) - About the role: description: "The US spirits market is one of the most dynamic, exciting (and regulated!) spirits markets globally. As principle point of contact for legal support to our commercial and marketing teams, the US counsel’s role is integral to providing front line legal support that helps the business maximize the opportunities for our incredible portfolio of brands while minimizing legal risk. It won’t be for everyone, but, if you’re up for a challenge, it might be for you!" That's about the role. - What We Can Offer You: benefits list: competitive salary and benefits, bonus plan, generous vacation entitlement, comprehensive private healthcare (medical, dental, vision), 401(k) with company match up to 5% plus discretionary contribution, Employee Assistance Programme, Life and AD&D cover (multiple of three times annual basic salary), product allowance, charity funding, learning resources. - Main Responsibilities: list of duties: provide legal support across functions; review marketing/promotional materials; draft distribution agreement; plan and roll out alcohol beverage compliance training program; review Manhattan real estate lease; fast-paced dynamic business; internal legal team support; instruct external counsel. - Our Ideal Candidate: description of candidate traits: top performer, curious, inquisitive, ambitious, self-starter, confident but not arrogant, knows what they don't know, clean concise communicator, energy, fun at work, couple years practicing law, technical skills honed, want to focus on becoming better in-house lawyer, more commercial, better business partner. - Additional Skills And Qualifications Needed For This Role: list: law degree and right to practice; post-qualification experience (3-4 yrs PQE) drafting, reviewing, negotiating wide range of commercial and corporate agreements in US; experience developing and rolling out compliance programs including delivering legal compliance training to non-lawyers; practical, commercially oriented, customer-centric approach; good written and verbal English communication and presentation skills, excellent stakeholder engagement and management; engaging interpersonal skills enabling working with wide variety of areas, cultures, levels; experience in alcohol/beverage sector or advising other brand-led businesses advantageous; energetic and self-motivated; draws on strong legal knowledge; demonstrates high level of business acumen; displays high levels of integrity and resilience. - About William Grant & Sons: company description; diversity & inclusion; agile working philosophy; inclusive recruitment process. This is boilerplate? Might be considered "About the company". Not requested as a section heading but could be included under "About the role"? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. We have: - About the role: we have a paragraph describing role. - Responsibilities: we have list. - Requirements: maybe combine Ideal Candidate and Additional Skills? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for: - About the role: yes. - Responsibilities: yes. - Requirements: maybe the "Additional Skills And Qualifications Needed For This Role" could be Requirements or Qualifications. Also "Our Ideal Candidate" could be Qualifications or Skills. We need to avoid duplication and thin sections. We could combine Ideal Candidate and Additional Skills into a "Qualifications" section (or "Requirements"). We have Pay: salary range $158,374 - $190,061. We have Schedule: "This role, based out of the New York City office is 4 days onsite and 1 day work from home." We have Benefits: the list under "What We Can Offer You". We have Skills: maybe we could have a Skills section for communication etc. But we already have many in Qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. We need to ensure we don't include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? Probably we should keep the details as is, maybe using same wording but in HTML. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes a lot of EEO/diversity/inclusion text under "About William Grant & Sons". That is boilerplate? It's about company values, diversity, inclusion, agile working philosophy, inclusive recruitment process. Might be considered boilerplate but also part of posting. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove the diversity & inclusion paragraphs, agile working philosophy, inclusive recruitment process. Also remove the repeated "OUR AGILE WORKING PHILOSOPHY" etc. Also remove the repeated "Diversity & Inclusion is at the heart..." lines. We should keep the company description "A HOME FOR RARE CHARACTERS William Grant & Sons: a home where Rare Characters thrive." That might be considered part of About the company but not required as a heading. Could be included under About the role? Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description is not EEO; it's about the company. Might be okay to keep. However, we have no heading for About the company; we could incorporate a brief sentence into About the role? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit the company description, we lose substantive info. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can include a short paragraph under About the role or as a separate section "About the company". But the allowed headings list does not include About the company. However, we could still include a

without heading? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

for section headings (e.g those). It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but we should follow the pattern. Safer to stick to those headings only. We could incorporate the company description into About the role paragraph. Thus About the role will include: description of US spirits market, role as point of contact, plus maybe a sentence about William Grant & Sons being a home for rare characters. We'll keep that. Now we need to list responsibilities as

• . Benefits as
  • . Pay as maybe a

    with salary range. Schedule as a

    . Qualifications: we need to combine Ideal Candidate and Additional Skills. We'll produce a

    • list? The content includes paragraphs describing traits and then a list of qualifications. We could split into two sub-sections? But to avoid many thin sections, we can make one Qualifications section with a paragraph summarizing ideal candidate traits and then a list of specific qualifications. We must preserve all substantive information: So we need to include each bullet from Ideal Candidate and Additional Skills. Let's extract Ideal Candidate bullet points (as sentences): - You were probably one of the top performers in school. - You’re curious, inquisitive, ambitious and like a challenge. - You’re a self-starter. - Confident, but not arrogant. - You know what you don’t know. - You don’t have all the answers but are savvy and know who to go to and how to find them. - You’re a clean, concise communicator. - You have energy and want to have fun at work. - You’ve a couple of years practicing law under your belt and your technical skills have been honed a bit. - Now you want to focus on how you become a better in-house lawyer, more commercial, a better business partner.

We need to keep all these.

We need to keep each as separate
    • . Note some sentences have semicolons; we can keep as is. Now About the role paragraph: combine: "The US spirits market is one of the most dynamic, exciting (and regulated!) spirits markets globally. As principle point of contact for legal support to our commercial and marketing teams, the US counsel’s role is integral to providing front line legal support that helps the business maximize the opportunities for our incredible portfolio of brands while minimizing legal risk. It won’t be for everyone, but, if you’re up for a challenge, it might be for you! William Grant & Sons is a home where Rare Characters thrive." We could add that sentence. Now Pay: "
