Director, Legal Commodities
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions. The posting includes "California residents — your privacy rights regarding your actual or prospective employment" - that's privacy statement, maybe considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but could be considered legal. Probably remove. Also "At CIBC, we offer a competitive total rewards package." etc. Keep salary range and benefits.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include sections: About the role (maybe from "What You’ll Be Doing")? Actually "What You’ll Be Doing" is description of responsibilities. Could map to "Responsibilities". "How You’ll Succeed" could be also responsibilities or maybe "Key Activities". "Who You Are" is qualifications/requirements. "What CIBC Offers" is benefits and maybe pay. "What You Need To Know" includes location, work eligibility, etc. Might be minor metadata.
We need to include Pay and Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does: salary range $140,000-$185,000, incentive compensation, benefits list. So we can have a Pay section with salary range and maybe incentive. Benefits section with list.
Schedule: posting mentions Weekly Hours 40 under Job Location section. So we have schedule: 40 hours per week. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual numbers.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Commodities Counsel". Use headings for sections.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's structure:
About the role
maybe not needed? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings.
We have content: "What You’ll Be Doing" -> Responsibilities.
"How You’ll Succeed" -> maybe also Responsibilities or Key Activities. Could combine.
"Who You Are" -> Requirements/Qualifications.
"What CIBC Offers" -> Benefits and Pay.
"What You Need To Know" -> maybe location and work eligibility; could be a short p under About the role or separate.
We need to avoid duplicate content.
Let's extract substantive bullet points.
From "What You’ll Be Doing":
- Provide legal and regulatory advice for CIBC’s physical and financial commodities trading activities.
- Supports CIBC’s Commodities team across energy, metals, power and environmental products, with focus on transaction structure, regulatory analysis and risk identification.
- Demonstrate solid foundation in documentation of physical commodity transactions.
- Review collateral packages to identify key terms and advise on structuring transactions to mitigate risk associated with debtor insolvency, commodity title claims, security interest perfection, and other risks related to CIBC’s secured creditor status.
- Knowledge of relevant US commodity derivatives regulatory requirements and US bankruptcy principles; capacity to engage and manage external counsel as needed.
- Experience dealing with major physical commodity classes: metal, natural gas and power, environmental commodities.
- Experience advising on U.S. FERC and ISO/RTO licensing and/or membership requirements and applicability to commodity transactions.
- Advise business and compliance teams on implementation of relevant requirements and processes.
- Strong working knowledge of standard Master Agreements: ISDA, NAESB, EEI, and associated physical annexes and credit documentation.
- Working knowledge of emissions trading schemes and documentation of transactions relating to environmental products.
- Understanding of the trading book and use of hedging tools, including listed futures contracts, to mitigate risks associated with CIBC’s hedging and financing activity for clients.
- Coordinate legal advice across internal stakeholders across North America and London: compliance teams, trading desks, sales personnel, credit risk teams, senior business management.
- Position based in New York and reports directly to Senior Counsel, Commodity Finance (US) in CIBC’s US Capital Markets division.
From "How You’ll Succeed":
- Provide day-to-day legal coverage for physical and financial commodities trading.
- Draft, review, and negotiate a range of commodity financing and hedging agreements, including loans, leases, consignments, prepays, repos, forwards, options, and swaps, as well as security agreements, intercreditor agreements, and guarantee agreements supporting the foregoing.
- Support the business with amendments to existing credit agreements as needed.
- Review and advise on commodity storage and transportation agreements as needed.

- Understanding of U.S. regulatory landscape for coverage area.
- Strong interpersonal skills in order to maintain working relationships.
- Excellent communication, drafting and negotiation skills.
- Values matter to you. You bring your real self to work and you live our values – trust, teamwork, and accountability.
From "What CIBC Offers":
- Competitive total rewards package.
- Expected salary range of $140,000-$185,000 for the New York, NY market based on experience, qualifications, and location.
- Eligible to participate in relevant business unit’s incentive compensation plan, which may include discretionary bonus.
- Full range of benefits and programs: Medical, Dental, Vision, Health Savings Account, Life Insurance, Disability, and Other Insurance Plans, Paid Time Off (including Sick Leave, Parental Leave, and Vacation), Holidays, and 401(k), plus other special perks.
- Candidates hired to work in other locations will be subject to the pay range associated with that location.
- Additional total compensation and benefits details will be provided during the hiring process.
From "What CIBC Offers" (the later section about goals etc.) includes: career development, competitive salary, incentive pay, banking benefits, benefits program*, vacation offering, wellbeing support, MomentMakers recognition program, spaces and technological toolkit, Purpose Day (paid day off). This is also benefits/perks. Might be duplicate but we can include as part of Benefits.
From "What You Need To Know":
- CIBC committed to inclusive environment; accommodation contact.
- Need to be legally eligible to work at location(s); valid work or study permit if applicable.
- May ask to complete attribute-based assessment and other skills tests (simulation, coding, MS Office).
- Goal for application process is to get to know more about you.
But we are told to remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. The inclusive environment statement might be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Probably remove. Also the accommodation request line maybe considered legal. Remove. The work eligibility statement maybe needed? It's substantive but could be considered minor metadata. Might keep as short p under "What You Need To Know". However instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short p for location and work eligibility.
Also "Skills" list at end: Skills Business, Business Contracts, Business Transactions, Communication, Contract Negotiations, Critical Thinking, Decision Making, Documentations, Legal Consulting, Litigation, Strategic Advice. That's a list of skills. Should be under Skills section.
Thus we need sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We also might include About the role as a brief intro paragraph.
Let's craft:

Then Skills: list from Skills line.
Then Benefits: list benefits from "What CIBC Offers" plus maybe other perks.
Then Pay: salary range and incentive.
Then Schedule: weekly hours 40.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed.
Now produce HTML fragment.
Check for any repeated content: ensure we preserve all substantive info. Did we miss anything? The "Understanding of U.S. regulatory landscape for coverage area" is in Who You Are. Good.
The "Values matter to you..." is also in Who You Are.
The "CIBC offers a full range of benefits and programs..." we captured.
The "CIBC offers a full range of benefits and programs to meet our employee’s needs; including Medical, Dental, Vision, Health Savings Account, Life Insurance, Disability, and Other Insurance Plans, Paid Time Off (including Sick Leave, Parental Leave, and Vacation), Holidays, and 401(k), in addition to other special perks reserved for our team members." Good.
The "At CIBC, your goals are a priority..." section includes: career, competitive salary, incentive pay, banking benefits, benefits program*, vacation offering, wellbeing support, MomentMakers, spaces and technological toolkit, Purpose Day. We can incorporate into Benefits as additional points.
We should avoid duplication but it's okay to include.
