Corporate Counsel (Remote)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to extract content. Let's parse. First paragraph: "At Niagara, we’re looking for Team Members who want to be part of achieving our mission to provide our customers the highest quality most affordable bottled water. Consider Applying Here, If You Want To Work in an entrepreneurial and dynamic environment with a chance to make an impact. Develop lasting relationships with great people. Have the opportunity to build a satisfying career. We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages for our Team Members." That's generic intro. Could be About the role? Might be considered About the role. Then "Corporate Counsel (Remote) Niagara Bottling is a leading bottled water and beverage manufacturer in the United States and internationally. We are seeking a talented Corporate Counsel to join our dynamic, collaborative Legal team. In this high-impact role, you will serve as a strategic business partner and trusted legal advisor to our Sales and Beverage business teams, helping to drive commercial success while proactively managing risk. You will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of commercial transactions, support cross-functional initiatives, and contribute to a company that is reshaping the beverage industry through innovation, operational excellence, and environmental stewardship." That's also about role. Then "Essential Functions As Corporate Counsel, you will be an integral member of the Legal team and a key business enabler, responsible for providing proactive, solution-oriented legal support that accelerates commercial growth while helping to manage and mitigate legal risk. Your primary responsibilities include:" then list bullet points. Thus Responsibilities section: list of duties. Then "Please note this job description is not designed to contain a comprehensive list..." that's boilerplate, remove. Then "Qualifications Required Qualifications:" list. Then "Preferred Qualifications:" list. Thus Requirements/Qualifications sections. Then "Key Competencies & Skills" list. Thus Skills section. Then "Why Niagara?" list of benefits: collaborative team, exposure, career growth, sustainability, competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, supportive work environment. That's Benefits. Then "Work Environment & Additional Details": full-time remote, standard business hours, flexibility, some evening/weekend work, some travel. That's Schedule. Then "Typical Compensation Range Pay Rate Type: Salary $118,937.79 - $172,459.80 / Yearly Bonus Target: 10% Annual". That's Pay. Then "Benefits Our Total Rewards package..." list of benefits: Paid Time Off, parental leaves, medical, dental, vision, 401k, HSA, FSA, mental wellbeing, family building benefits, income protection, discount programs, tuition reimbursement, etc. That's Benefits again; we already have Benefits from Why Niagara? Might combine. We need to avoid duplication. Probably combine benefits into one Benefits section. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output HTML fragment only. Structure: Use

for each section heading. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required and Preferred?), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must not create thin sections. Could combine Required and Preferred into Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). They list both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. Probably Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred? Or combine. Better: Use Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications. Skills separate. Thus sections: - About the role (intro paragraph) - Responsibilities (list of essential functions) - Requirements (required qualifications) - Qualifications (preferred qualifications) - Skills (key competencies & skills) - Benefits (why Niagara + total rewards) - Pay (compensation range) - Schedule (work environment details) Check each has substantive content. Now extract content. About the role: combine first two paragraphs? Let's craft a concise prose that preserves all substantive info without fluff. Must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all info, 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? Safer to keep original sentences but maybe combine. However we must not repeat job title as heading. We can keep the sentences. Let's extract the substantive sentences: Paragraph 1: "At Niagara, we’re looking for Team Members who want to be part of achieving our mission to provide our customers the highest quality most affordable bottled water. Consider Applying Here, If You Want To Work in an entrepreneurial and dynamic environment with a chance to make an impact. Develop lasting relationships with great people. Have the opportunity to build a satisfying career. We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages for our Team Members." Paragraph 2: "Corporate Counsel (Remote) Niagara Bottling is a leading bottled water and beverage manufacturer in the United States and internationally. We are seeking a talented Corporate Counsel to join our dynamic, collaborative Legal team. In this high-impact role, you will serve as a strategic business partner and trusted legal advisor to our Sales and Beverage business teams, helping to drive commercial success while proactively managing risk. You will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of commercial transactions, support cross-functional initiatives, and contribute to a company that is reshaping the beverage industry through innovation, operational excellence, and environmental stewardship." We should not include "Consider Applying Here" maybe it's call to action, but it's substantive? It's an instruction to apply; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not a legal requirement; but it's part of posting. The instruction says remove application instructions. "Consider Applying Here" is an application instruction. So we should remove that line. Also "Consider Applying Here, If You Want To Work..." maybe we keep the rest but remove the phrase "Consider Applying Here". Better to remove that sentence entirely. Thus About the role content: keep the rest. We'll produce a

  with the combined sentences (excluding the application instruction). Let's list: - At Niagara, we’re looking for Team Members who want to be part of achieving our mission to provide our customers the highest quality most affordable bottled water. - If You Want To Work in an entrepreneurial and dynamic environment with a chance to make an impact. - Develop lasting relationships with great people. - Have the opportunity to build a satisfying career. - We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages for our Team Members. - Niagara Bottling is a leading bottled water and beverage manufacturer in the United States and internationally. - We are seeking a talented Corporate Counsel to join our dynamic, collaborative Legal team. - In this high-impact role, you will serve as a strategic business partner and trusted legal advisor to our Sales and Beverage business teams, helping to drive commercial success while proactively managing risk. - You will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of commercial transactions, support cross-functional initiatives, and contribute to a company that is reshaping the beverage industry through innovation, operational excellence, and environmental stewardship. We could combine into a paragraph but it's okay to have multiple sentences. Now Responsibilities: list of duties after "Your primary responsibilities include:" then bullet points each starting with a verb. Let's extract each bullet: - Lead end-to-end contract management for primarily sales and customer-focused commercial agreements, including intake, prioritization, drafting, negotiation, and execution of master agreements, amendments, addenda, NDAs, and related documents with minimal supervision. - Serve as the primary legal point of contact for the Water and Beverage Sales teams, providing real-time commercial legal support and strategic counsel on customer-facing transactions and relationships. - Act as a trusted advisor and strategic business partner to internal stakeholders across multiple business units, translating complex legal concepts into practical, actionable business guidance. - Develop, maintain, and continuously improve contract templates, playbooks, and processes to drive efficiency and scalability across the legal function. - Build and maintain strong cross-functional relationships with internal business teams (e.g., Sales, Operations, Finance, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Product Development, Product Engineering, Compliance) and external partners, including key customer stakeholders. - Partner proactively with business teams by participating in pipeline meetings, deal reviews, and strategic planning sessions to provide early-stage legal input and become deeply embedded in business operations. - Identify, assess, and mitigate commercial and contractual risks, escalating material issues to legal and business leadership and recommending risk mitigation strategies that enable business objectives. - Manage and help resolve pre-litigation disputes, customer claims, and commercial controversies, working collaboratively to achieve favorable outcomes while preserving important business relationships. - Support special projects, M&A / joint venture due diligence, and other strategic initiatives as requested by the Associate General Counsel, Sales and Beverage and/or the General Counsel / Vice President of Legal Affairs. - Design and deliver training programs for cross-functional business partners and plant personnel on contract processes, legal risk awareness, and compliance-related matters. - Stay current on legal developments, industry trends, and emerging issues affecting the food and beverage and CPG industries. We should keep all.

Then "In addition to embodying our LIFE values, the ideal candidate will demonstrate:" then list. We need to preserve all substantive info. Could combine into a single list? Might be long. We'll output as

  • each item. Let's extract each bullet: Lead Like an Owner - Makes safety the number one priority - Keeps alert for safety issues and escalates immediately - Effectively prioritizes tasks based on department goals - Shows respect to others and confronts interpersonal issues directly - Prioritizes resolution of customer issues effectively - Responds promptly and honors commitments to internal and external customers InnovACT - Makes recommendations to continuously improve policies, methods, procedures, and/or products - Demonstrates adaptability by reacting appropriately to unexpected changes in situations or circumstances - Increases performance through greater efficiency Find a Way - Seeks to develop technical knowledge through learning from other experts - Understands interdepartmental impact of individual decisions and actions - Seeks solutions rather than placing blame Empowered to be Great - Consistently looks for ways to improve one’s self through growth and development opportunities - Communicates clearly and promptly up, down, and across - Communicates effectively to manage expectations Then additional: - Exceptional legal acumen with strong issue
