General Counsel

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "The Role" description, then "Key Responsibilities", "Ideal Candidate", "Why Join?", "Location", "Compensation & Benefits". Also "Equal Opportunity" boilerplate to remove. Also "Compensation Range" duplicate. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions. Remove "Equal Opportunity" paragraph. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we will have sections: About the role (maybe from "The Role" paragraph). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Requirements (Ideal Candidate). Benefits (Why Join? maybe includes benefits? Actually "Why Join?" includes motivational points, not benefits; but we have separate Compensation & Benefits). Could also have a "Why Join?" section? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't list "Why Join?" but we can treat that as part of Benefits or maybe as a separate section? The instruction says "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exclusive list; we can use those headings. Probably we should map content to those headings. "Why Join?" could be considered Benefits or maybe we can include as a separate section like "Why Join?" but not in list. Safer to incorporate into Benefits or maybe as a separate "Why Join?" heading? The instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". It doesn't forbid using other headings besides the examples, but examples are given. I'd stick to the given headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills? But we have qualifications. We'll map: - About the role: The Role paragraph (first paragraph). - Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities bullet list. - Requirements: Ideal Candidate paragraph (list of qualifications). Could split into Requirements and Qualifications? But we can just use Requirements. - Benefits: Why Join? plus Compensation & Benefits? Actually Compensation & Benefits includes base salary, bonus, health insurance, 401k, PTO, stipend. That's compensation and benefits. So we could have Benefits section for health, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, stipend. Pay section for base salary and bonus. Or combine. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Compensation & Benefits into one Benefits section that includes pay and benefits. But they also have separate Pay heading example. Could create Pay section for base salary and bonus, Benefits section for insurance, 401k, PTO, stipend. That seems reasonable. - Location: maybe not a heading in list but we could include as a short p under About the role? The instruction says we can fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include as a short p after About the role or within About the role. Probably better to include as a short p after About the role. - Schedule: The posting mentions "required to work regular U.S. business hours, i.e. in the U.S. Eastern, Central, Mountain, and/or Pacific time zones." That's schedule info. So we should include a Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: Equal Opportunity paragraph, also maybe duplicate "Compensation Range: $240K - $270K" appears at end; we already have Pay section with base salary range; we should not duplicate. We need to preserve all substantive info: The Role paragraph includes details about responsibilities etc but we will move responsibilities to separate section; ensure we don't lose any info. The Role paragraph includes: "The Role As Optery’s General Counsel, you’ll be responsible for building and leading the company’s legal function. This includes commercial transactions, regulatory compliance, litigation, international expansion, corporate governance, employment matters, and strategic initiatives. You'll utilize external counsel in most of these areas. You will also play a central role in holding data brokers accountable for noncompliance, interfacing with enforcement bodies such as CalPrivacy / California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), and state Attorney General and Department of Justice offices, and advocating for consumer data privacy rights. Our platform submits opt out requests to hundreds of data brokers on behalf of our customers, referencing privacy rights set forth by data privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), and others. We’re seeking a mission-aligned General Counsel to help scale our legal infrastructure, meet the needs of our demanding business, and help ensure data brokers comply with our opt out requests backed by these critical regulations. This is a unique opportunity to define and execute the legal strategy at a mission-driven, high-growth startup at the forefront of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to data rights management and the privacy tech movement." We should keep that as About the role paragraph. Key Responsibilities bullet list: we need to convert each line into

  . The bullet points: - Serve as a key advisor to the CEO, Board of Directors, and leadership team on legal, regulatory, and risk matters. - Draft, review, manage, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, including B2B SaaS, vendor, and partnership contracts. - Create processes and systems for manage greater volumes across each of these areas. - Lead our data privacy and regulatory compliance efforts. - Maximize data broker compliance with Optery’s opt out requests by: - Communicating directly with non-compliant data brokers to compel compliance. - Building collaborative relationships with state enforcement bodies (e.g., CalPrivacy / California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), State Attorneys General, Departments of Justice). - Assembling evidence of non-compliance and filing complaints with regulators to enforce compliance with consumer data privacy laws. - Support corporate governance, board matters, and equity administration. - Support financing transactions, equity and debt instruments, and potential M&A activity. - Advise on employment matters, intellectual property, and risk mitigation. - Manage outside counsel relationships and develop internal legal processes and policies. - Build and lead the legal function, including potential future legal hires. Note there is a sub-bullet under Maximize data broker compliance... We'll need to nest

  • inside? The instruction says use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For sub-items, we can nest another
      . That's fine. Ideal Candidate paragraph: includes multiple sentences; we can turn into a list of requirements? It says "Ideal Candidate 8–15 years of legal experience, with time spent at a top-tier law firm and in-house at a technology or privacy-focused company. Strong expertise in U.S. consumer data privacy law and regulatory frameworks; familiarity with enforcement trends under the CCPA, VCDPA, CPA, TDPSA, OCPA, and other state data privacy laws is strongly preferred. Demonstrated experience navigating or working with regulatory agencies such as the CPPA, Attorney General offices, Departments of Justice, or Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Strong background in commercial contracts, corporate governance, and startup equity and debt financing matters. Excellent communicator and negotiator with a bias for action and pragmatism. Passion for consumer privacy and strong motivation for holding data brokers accountable to consumer data privacy laws. Track record of professional success and achievement Licensed to practice law in the U.S. (California preferred, but not required)." We can make a
      • for each requirement. Or we can keep as prose

        . The instruction says use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of requirements, so better to make a list. We'll break each sentence into
        • . Ensure we keep all details. Why Join? section: includes bullet points? Actually it's a paragraph with multiple sentences each starting with a capital letter, but not bullet list. Could treat as
          • each benefit? But it's more like reasons to join. Could be considered Benefits? But we already have Benefits and Pay sections. We could incorporate these into Benefits section as bullet points. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could merge Why Join? into Benefits section as bullet points. But we also have Compensation & Benefits separate. Let's think: The Why Join? points: - Lead the legal strategy of a fast-growing, high-impact cybersecurity and privacy tech company - Optery is profitable, and growing rapidly - Help enforce the groundbreaking consumer data privacy laws that are cascading across the United States and globally - Work closely with the CEO, CISO, CTO, VP Finance & Operations, Chief Commercial Officer, Board of Directors, and leadership team on key initiatives - Influence industry practices and regulatory momentum around data broker compliance - Make a measurable difference in protecting consumer rights and digital safety - Optery has processed tens of millions of opt out requests for over hundreds of thousands of people These are more like selling points, not benefits like insurance. Could be considered "Why Join?" but we don't have that heading. Could treat as Benefits section (non-monetary benefits). We'll create a Benefits section that includes both tangible benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, stipend) and these motivational points. But maybe better to separate: Benefits for tangible, Why Join? for intangible. However we only have headings list; we could add a "Why Join?" heading as it's specific content. The instruction didn't forbid other headings; it gave examples. I think it's okay to include a Why Join? section with

            . It's specific content. We'll do that. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Why Join?, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. We'll start with

            About the role

            then

            ... the role paragraph.

            Then maybe a

            Location: While Optery is a fully-remote global team, this position is based in the United States and is required to work regular U.S. business hours, i.e. in the U.S. Eastern, Central, Mountain, and/or Pacific time zones.

            But we have Schedule section for schedule; location could be separate short p. We'll include location as a short p after About the role. Then Responsibilities:

            Responsibilities

            with items. Need to handle nested list for Maximize data broker compliance. We'll do:
            • Serve as a key advisor to the CEO, Board of Directors, and leadership team on legal, regulatory, and risk matters.
            • Draft, review, manage, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, including B2B SaaS, vendor, and partnership contracts.
            • Create processes and systems for manage greater volumes across each of these areas.
            • Lead our data privacy and regulatory compliance efforts.
            • Maximize data broker compliance with Optery’s opt out requests by:
              • Communicating directly with non-compliant data brokers to compel compliance.
              • Building collaborative relationships with state enforcement bodies (e.g., CalPrivacy / California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), State Attorneys General, Departments of Justice).
              • Assembling evidence of non
