Senior Corporate Counsel
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content accordingly.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EQUAL OPPORTUNITY etc. Also remove "INTRODUCTIONS FIRST!" maybe treat as a heading? It's a section but we can incorporate into About the role? Probably we can create sections: About the role (combining ABOUT THE JOB and INTRODUCTIONS FIRST! You/Us). Responsibilities (WHAT YOU'LL DO). Requirements (WHAT YOU BRING Must-Haves). Qualifications (Preferred). Skills maybe not separate. Benefits (WHAT WE OFFER). Pay (salary range). Schedule (hybrid schedule). Ensure we only include sections with real content.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
ABOUT THE JOB paragraph: "Ankrom Moisan is an award-winning architecture and interior design firm of 100+ people, with studios in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Austin, working across housing, senior communities, healthcare, hospitality, workplace, and retail. We're looking for a Senior Corporate Counsel to manage the contracts and legal matters that keep our work moving and our firm protected, serving as our in-house subject-matter expert and working alongside outside counsel as the work requires. This is a business-focused legal seat, not a paper-pushing one. You'll own the full contract lifecycle for our client and consultant agreements, negotiating the terms that actually move risk (standard of care, indemnification, limitation of liability, waiver of consequential damages, IP, dispute resolution) so project teams can move forward with confidence and the firm gets paid for the work it does. Contracts are the core of this role, and you'll be the person teams rely on to get them right, quickly and consistently. Beyond contracts, you'll be the firm's go-to legal expert across a range of matters, from risk and compliance to insurance, employment, disputes, and governance. You'll advise leadership directly on much of this and work alongside outside counsel on specialized or higher-stakes matters, helping the firm bring in the right expertise at the right time. Leadership will rely on your judgment to weigh risk against business reality and give clear, practical answers people can act on. You'll report to the CFO as part of the Business Operations team, partner closely with firm leadership, project teams, finance, and outside counsel, and manage a Contract Specialist. This is a Portland-based hybrid role, in-office a minimum of two days per week, ideally on our anchor days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)."
INTRODUCTIONS FIRST! You - bullet list of traits. Us - bullet list of firm traits.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we can combine these into About the role section as prose and maybe lists.
We must not create placeholder sections.
Let's structure:
About the role
Ankrom Moisan is an award-winning architecture and interior design firm of 100+ people, with studios in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Austin, working across housing, senior communities, healthcare, hospitality, workplace, and retail. We're looking for a Senior Corporate Counsel to manage the contracts and legal matters that keep our work moving and our firm protected, serving as our in-house subject-matter expert and working alongside outside counsel as the work requires. This is a business-focused legal seat, not a paper-pushing one. You'll own the full contract lifecycle for our client and consultant agreements, negotiating the terms that actually move risk (standard of care, indemnification, limitation of liability, waiver of consequential damages, IP, dispute resolution) so project teams can move forward with confidence and the firm gets paid for the work it does. Contracts are the core of this role, and you'll be the person teams rely on to get them right, quickly and consistently. Beyond contracts, you'll be the firm's go-to legal expert across a range of matters, from risk and compliance to insurance, employment, disputes, and governance. You'll advise leadership directly on much of this and work alongside outside counsel on specialized or higher-stakes matters, helping the firm bring in the right expertise at the right time. Leadership will rely on your judgment to weigh risk against business reality and give clear, practical answers people can act on. You'll report to the CFO as part of the Business Operations team, partner closely with firm leadership, project teams, finance, and outside counsel, and manage a Contract Specialist. This is a Portland-based hybrid role, in-office a minimum of two days per week, ideally on our anchor days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday).
Then maybe a About you and us
with two lists: You traits and Us traits.
But instruction: use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They gave examples but we can use others? Probably we should stick to those headings where appropriate. However we have info about "You" and "Us" which could be part of About the role or maybe Skills? But better to keep About the role includes both.
Responsibilities: WHAT YOU'LL DO list.
Requirements: Must-Haves list.
Qualifications: Preferred list.
Benefits: WHAT WE OFFER list (including benefits details).
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: hybrid schedule info (maybe we already included in About the role but we can also have separate Schedule section). Since schedule is mentioned, we can create Schedule section.
We must not repeat info unnecessarily but preserve all. If we put schedule in About the role and also separate Schedule, that's duplication. Better to put schedule in its own section and not repeat in About the role. However About the role currently includes schedule sentence. We could remove that sentence from About the role and put it in Schedule section. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can move it.
Thus About the role paragraph will exclude the schedule sentence. Let's extract schedule sentence: "This is a Portland-based hybrid role, in-office a minimum of two days per week, ideally on our anchor days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)." We'll put that in Schedule section.
Now About the role paragraph will be everything else up to before that sentence.
Let's rewrite About the role paragraph without that sentence.
Original ABOUT THE JOB paragraph ends with that sentence. We'll cut it.
Now INTRODUCTIONS FIRST! You and Us we can incorporate into About the role as prose or maybe as separate lists under About the role? But we have no specific heading for "You" and "Us". Could treat as part of About the role description.
We'll include them as paragraphs: maybe a describing You traits and Us traits.
But we need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The You and Us are bullet lists; we should convert them to
- .
Thus About the role section could have a
for the firm description, then a
? Not allowed; only h3 for section headings. We can embed lists directly under the same h3.
Thus:
