for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info: So we need to include the About Cooley AI paragraph, Position summary paragraph, then responsibilities broken into sub-sections? The instruction says use headings for sections; we can have subheadings? Not specified; only those headings. We could embed the detailed responsibilities as prose or lists under Responsibilities heading. We need to preserve all details; we can break into multiple
- items for each bullet point. The responsibilities text includes many paragraphs; we can convert each sentence or clause into list items.
Similarly for Required Skills and experience: we can list each requirement as
- .
Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree, Preferred Legal sector experience etc.
Skills: maybe we can list the specific skill items like proficiency in Microsoft Office, iManage, ability to work extended hours, travel, etc. But many of those are also in Requirements. Might be overlapping. To avoid duplication, we could treat "Required Skills and experience" as Requirements, and "Preferred" as Qualifications. Skills could be maybe the technical skills like Databricks, dbt, Power BI, Data Vault, etc. But we already have them in requirements. However we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can decide to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. For Skills we could list the specific technical competencies: proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, iManage, ability to work extended/weekend hours, ability to travel, experience with Databricks, dbt, Power BI, Data Vault 2.0, RAG patterns, LLM output governance, etc. But many of those are also in Requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we treat Requirements as the years of experience, management, etc., and Skills as the technical proficiencies. Let's parse.
From "Required Skills and experience:" list:
- After orientation at Cooley LLP, exhibit proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite, iManage, and other firm applications
- Ability to work extended and/or weekend hours, as required
- Ability to travel, as required
- 10+ years of experience in data product management, data engineering, analytics engineering, or a related data platform discipline preferably in a multi-track data products team, with 5+ years of management experience in relevant roles
- Proven experience building and delivering data products on a cloud data platform, including AI-powered applications, analytics products, or BI reporting estates that business stakeholders actively use and trust
- Strong understanding of the full data product stack from gold layer consumption through to user-facing application delivery, including dimensional modeling, semantic layer design, and application-layer data integration
- Strong AI product fluency, with the ability to direct application engineers building LLM-integrated and vector search-powered applications, assess quality, and make product decisions about AI feature behavior and governance
- Experience leading a multi-track team simultaneously, including engineers, analysts, and BI professionals, with demonstrated ability to develop track leads as capable, independent managers and individual contributors
- Strong product roadmap ownership experience including backlog management, stakeholder requirement translation, prioritization decision-making, and delivery accountability in a squad-based Agile environment
- Experience with Databricks or comparable cloud data lakehouse platform at a product leadership level, sufficient to engage credibly with platform engineers on gold layer design and data contract standards
- Proven Agile delivery leadership in a data platform program, including EPIC delivery management, sprint planning, and definition of done discipline across multiple parallel workstreams
- Bachelor’s degree
- Preferred Legal sector, professional services, or financial services experience with understanding of complex data domains including matter management, client relationships, timekeeper and billing data, or comparable professional services data complexity
- Experience with Data Vault 2.0 at a product consumption level, including understanding of Business Vault patterns, point-in-time tables, and how gold layer dimensional models are built from Raw Vault and Business Vault structures
- Experience with dbt for semantic layer and gold layer transformation model development, testing standards, and documentation practices
- Familiarity with Databricks Appkit, Databricks Apps, or comparable application hosting platform for data-driven application delivery
- Experience with Power BI or comparable BI platform at a product leadership level, including report estate governance, performance management, and migration planning toward a governed data lakehouse gold layer
- Familiarity with RAG application patterns, LLM output gov (cut off)
Thus we can separate: Requirements: maybe the years of experience, management, etc. Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree, Preferred Legal sector experience. Skills: technical proficiencies (Microsoft Office, iManage, ability to work extended hours, travel, Databricks, dbt, Power BI, Data Vault, RAG, LLM output governance, etc). But we need to avoid losing any info. We'll include all items under appropriate sections.
