Pitch Specialist

Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP · Greater Seattle Area · 1 mo ago
Hybrid$76k–$106k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, role description, responsibilities, qualifications, compensation and benefits. Also maybe "Who is Orrick?" but that's not a required heading; we could include as About the firm? Not required. The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. Thus we need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: - Overview (intro) – could be "About the role" or maybe just a paragraph. - Role description: "What will I do?" – could be part of About the role. - Responsibilities: list. - Qualifications: list. - Compensation and Benefits: includes salary ranges and benefits description. - Possibly "Who is Orrick?" – could be "About the firm" but not required; we could include as a paragraph under About the role or separate section "About Orrick". But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine overview and role description into About the role. Then Responsibilities, Qualifications, Compensation and Benefits (Pay and Benefits). Benefits section includes benefits description; Pay includes salary ranges. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one section? The instruction mentions separate headings for Pay, Benefits, Schedule. But we can include both if we have content. Since we have both pay and benefits, we could have two sections: Pay and Benefits. Or we could have a single "Compensation and Benefits" heading, but the instruction list includes Benefits and Pay as examples; we can use either. Probably better to follow examples: Use

    for Pay and

    for Benefits. However we need to avoid filler. We have specific salary ranges and benefits description, so both are substantive. Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Qualifications (h3), Pay (h3), Benefits (h3). Possibly also "About Orrick" but could be omitted to keep few sections. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. Overview: "Orrick currently has an excellent opportunity for a West Coast Pitch Specialist. This hybrid position may be based in any of Orrick’s West Coast U.S. offices (Los Angeles, Orange County, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Monica or Seattle), with consideration given for 100% remote U.S. locations. Candidates must be able to work U.S. West Coast business hours. Are you a creative, high-energy individual who thrives in a professional services environment? Are you skilled at developing persuasive pitches, proposals and RFP responses that clearly communicate value to clients? Do you enjoy collaborating with smart, dynamic teams to deliver high-quality, client-ready business development and marketing materials? The role: Orrick has an exciting opening for a West Coast Pitch Specialist. We are looking for someone ready to be challenged and build a career within an AmLaw Top 100 law firm known for delivering innovative solutions that integrate litigation, regulatory and transactional excellence. What will I do?

As an integral member of our global Pitch Team, you will support the pitch lifecycle from initial intake to final submission.

    tags.

Benefits: list: - full range of elective health benefits including medical, dental, vision and life - robust mental well-being programs - child, family, elder, and pet care benefits - short- and long-term disability - industry leading parental leave benefits - health savings account contributions (w/applicable medical plan) - flexible spending accounts - 401K program - compensated time off through Paid Time Off program and paid holidays Also mention "Orrick is committed to providing a comprehensive, competitive, and thoughtful total compensation package..." but that's more generic; we can include as a paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, etc. Also remove "How to Apply:" and the rest. We need to output only HTML fragment. Use

    for each section heading. Use
    • for lists. Use

      for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have heading "West Coast Pitch Specialist". Good. We need to preserve all substantive information. Ensure we include location info, remote consideration, West Coast business hours, etc. That's in About the role. Let's craft. Structure:
