Corporate & Securities Counsel
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We need to preserve substantive info. Remove boilerplate: "Mindspring Ventures | Olathe, Kansas (Hybrid) | Part-time" maybe part of metadata; we can fold minor metadata into short
or drop. The posting includes "About Mindspring Ventures", "The Role", "What You Will Own", "Your First 90 Days", "What We Offer", "How To Apply". We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe combine About Mindspring Ventures and The Role?), Responsibilities (What You Will Own), Requirements/Qualifications (Your First 90 Days includes JD etc), Skills (maybe from Preferred), Benefits (What We Offer includes Competitive base salary, Annual bonus, Long-term incentive, Hybrid schedule, Direct access...), Pay (maybe not explicit salary figure; we should not create Pay unless posting actually states them. It says Competitive base salary but no number; that's vague. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "Competitive base salary" is vague but maybe acceptable? It's not a specific number; it's still placeholder. Safer to not create Pay section unless specific numbers given. So we can omit Pay. Schedule: Hybrid schedule based in Olathe, Kansas. That's specific enough? It says Hybrid schedule based in Olathe, Kansas. That's a schedule description. We can include Schedule section with that. Benefits: Competitive base salary, Annual bonus tied to clear, measurable goals, Long-term incentive, Hybrid schedule (but schedule already separate), Direct access to Founder and CEO, chance to build legal function from ground up. We'll include Benefits section with those items (excluding hybrid schedule if we moved to Schedule). We'll keep hybrid schedule maybe in Schedule. We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. Not present. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes equal opportunity employer statement at end; we should remove that boilerplate. Also "How To Apply" maybe considered application instructions; we should remove application instructions. The instruction says: remove application instructions. So we should drop "How To Apply" section. Thus final HTML: maybe sections: About the role (combining About Mindspring Ventures and The Role), Responsibilities (What You Will Own), Requirements (Your First 90 Days), Skills (Preferred), Benefits (What We Offer), Schedule (Hybrid schedule based in Olathe, Kansas). Ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content. About Mindspring Ventures paragraph: "Mindspring Ventures is a family office overseeing a portfolio of operating companies and investments. The portfolio includes Shamrock Roofing and Construction, a top-25 independent roofing company with about 14 branches in 8 states, and Trussi.ai, an AI-powered revenue platform built for the roofing industry, along with real estate and investment holdings." The Role paragraph: "We are hiring our first in-house attorney. This is a hands-on seat: you will do the recurring legal work yourself, keep every entity compliant and in good standing, and manage outside firms on larger matters. There is no legal department today. You will build the systems, templates and calendars that make the work repeatable, and you will report directly to the Founder and CEO." We can combine into About the role section with two paragraphs. Responsibilities: "What You Will Own" bullet list items. Need to preserve each bullet as
- . The bullet list includes many items grouped under headings like Private securities offerings, Securities filings, etc. We should keep each bullet as separate
- . The formatting includes line breaks and some sub-bullets? Actually each bullet seems a paragraph with multiple sentences. We'll treat each line starting with a bullet (the char maybe invisible). We'll just capture each distinct responsibility as a
- . Let's list them: - Private securities offerings: Structure and run Regulation D offerings under Rule 506(b) and 506(c), including priced rounds, SAFEs and convertible notes for portfolio companies. - Draft and negotiate term sheets, private placement memoranda, purchase agreements, investor rights agreements and side letters. - Run accredited investor verification for 506(c) offerings and Rule 506(d) bad actor diligence. - Manage general solicitation rules so 506(b) offerings stay compliant. - Securities filings: File Form D on EDGAR within 15 days of first sale, plus amendments. - Make state blue sky notice filings in every state where investors reside, including through NASAA EFD. - Maintain a filing calendar so no deadline depends on memory. - Subscription documents and investor onboarding: Own subscription agreement templates and investor questionnaires. - Manage closings: signatures, funds flow, countersignature and equity issuance. - Keep investor records organized and diligence-ready. - Cap tables and equity records: Reconcile cap tables against board and member approvals, ledgers and signed documents, and paper any gaps. - Maintain cap tables on an equity management platform (Carta, Pulley or similar). - Administer option and profits interest grants, including 409A timing and 83(b) reminders. - Contract review: Review, redline and negotiate commercial contracts across the portfolio: vendor and SaaS agreements, NDAs, customer and partner agreements, consulting agreements, leases and real estate documents. - Build standard templates and a clause playbook so routine agreements move quickly. - Set signature authority rules and maintain an executed contract repository. - Compliance and governance: Keep every entity in good standing: annual reports, registered agents and foreign qualifications in each operating state. - Track state and local contractor licenses, bonds and insurance requirements across a multi-state footprint. - Own customer-facing legal terms for our software business: terms of service, privacy policy, data processing terms, and marketing consent rules (TCPA, CAN-SPAM). - Maintain corporate records: minutes, written consents, operating agreements, and officer and manager records. - Run a single compliance calendar across the portfolio and report status to leadership quarterly. - Accounts and banking documentation: Open and maintain bank, brokerage and investment accounts for each entity, including account resolutions, certificates of incumbency and KYC documentation. - Keep authorized signer lists current across all institutions. - Set up and maintain regulatory and platform access: EDGAR, state filing portals and the equity management platform. - Outside counsel: Coordinate outside firms on large transactions, specialized regulatory matters, litigation and estate work. - Provide records, documents and diligence support, and keep leadership informed. That's many items. Requirements/Qualifications: "Your First 90 Days" includes actions and then qualifications list. Actually "Your First 90 Days" includes bullet list of actions then a paragraph of qualifications: "JD and an active bar license in good standing, with the ability to register as in-house counsel in Kansas. 6 to 10 years of corporate and securities experience, including at least 3 years at a law firm on emerging company or venture work. Hands-on experience running Regulation D offerings end to end: structuring, documents, closing, Form D and blue sky filings. Experience cleaning up and maintaining cap tables. Strong commercial contract drafting and negotiation skills. Comfort being the only lawyer in the building: you set priorities, say no when needed and know when to bring in outside counsel." We could split: Requirements section maybe include the qualifications list. The "Your First 90 Days" actions could be considered responsibilities? But they are more like initial objectives. Could treat as Responsibilities as well, but we already have Responsibilities huge. Maybe we make a separate section for "First 90 Days" but not a standard heading; we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put the First 90 Days actions under Responsibilities as additional items, and the qualifications under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll have both Requirements and Qualifications maybe; but we should avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction: Use headings for those specific names if we have content. We can choose to have Requirements section containing the qualifications list, and maybe also include the First 90 Days actions as part of Responsibilities (makes sense). We'll not create a Qualifications section separately to avoid duplication. Skills: Preferred qualifications list: "Preferred Family office, holding company or multi-entity experience. Exposure to construction, contractor licensing or multi-state operations. SaaS and data privacy experience. Fluency with Carta or Pulley, EDGAR and NASAA EFD." We'll put those as
- under Skills.
Benefits: "What We Offer" includes: Competitive base salary. Annual bonus tied to clear, measurable goals. Long-term incentive. Hybrid schedule based in Olathe, Kansas. Direct access to the Founder and CEO, and the chance to build the legal function from the ground up.
We'll put Benefits as list items, excluding hybrid schedule (we'll move to Schedule). So Benefits list: Competitive base salary, Annual bonus tied to clear, measurable goals, Long-term incentive, Direct access to the Founder and CEO, Chance to build the legal function from the ground up.
Schedule: Hybrid schedule based in Olathe, Kansas. We'll put as
maybe. Now ensure we don't include filler like "competitive base salary" maybe okay. It's not a specific number but it's a benefit description; it's not placeholder like "varies". It's acceptable. Now produce HTML:
