Senior Counsel (Employment & Labor focus)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - About Tides (organization description) maybe not needed? It's about the organization but not a section heading? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. The "About Tides" could be considered part of "About the role"? Actually "About This Role" is present. So we should have a section "About the role" containing the description of the role (the paragraph after "About This Role"). - Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What you will Do". Those are duties. - Requirements: maybe "What you will Bring" includes qualifications/skills. Could split into Requirements (experience needed) and Skills (specific abilities). The instruction says we can have sections for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide based on content. - Qualifications: maybe "Ideal Experience" includes Juris Doctor, CA license, 8-10 years experience, etc. - Skills: maybe the list of abilities like "Leads by example", "Sound judgment", etc. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not present in posting. So we should NOT include those sections. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information: organization description? The "About Tides" paragraph is substantive but not about the role. Should we include it? The instruction says we should include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting includes "About Tides" at start. It's not a role-specific section but could be considered part of "About the role"? However the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow the pattern. Likely we should include an "About the role" section that includes the description of the role (the "About This Role" paragraph). The "About Tides" could be considered background but not required. Might be okay to include as a paragraph before sections? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment, no extra. It didn't forbid extra paragraphs outside sections. But to be safe, we could include a

for the organization description before the sections, as it's substantive. However the instruction says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but we should follow that pattern. Probably they expect sections only those headings. The organization description could be placed under "About the role" as part of that section? But "About the role" is about the role, not the organization. However we could combine: "About the role" includes both the role description and maybe some org context. The posting has "About This Role" then a paragraph describing the role. So we can put that under About the role. Thus:

About the role

• Mentor and share advanced technical knowledge with LRC team members; support legal team education and management of resources.

Then Requirements: maybe "What you will Bring" includes experience advising organizations on labor and employment laws, etc. We'll put that as Requirements.

Requirements

• Experience advising organizations on labor and employment laws, preferably including organizations with a union-represented workforce.
• Significant experience representing nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations and familiarity with the laws and regulations affecting nonprofit organizations, including among others, nonprofit corporate law and federal tax-exemption law.

Then Qualifications: maybe "Ideal Experience" includes Juris Doctor, CA license, 8-10 years experience, etc.

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor and active California law license or eligibility for registered in-house counsel admission is required. (Note that in-house registration requires residency in California.)
• At least 8-10 years of relevant legal experience as a practicing attorney.
• Significant experience representing nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations and familiarity with the laws and regulations affecting nonprofit organizations.
• Experience advising organizations on employment and labor matters, handling litigation, and transactional experience.

Skills: maybe we could separate some of the abilities like "Leads by example" etc. But we already put many under Requirements. Could create Skills section for things like "Strong written and verbal communication skills", "Sound judgment", etc. However we already included them. To avoid duplication, we could keep Requirements as experience, and Skills as abilities. Let's split: Requirements: experience advising organizations on labor and employment laws, significant experience representing nonprofit, willingness to learn, etc. Skills: Leads by example, holds self accountable, adapts easily, sound judgment, exercises judgment, strong communication. But we need to ensure we don't lose any content. Let's parse "What you will Bring" list: - Experience advising organizations on labor and employment laws, preferably including organizations with a union-represented workforce. - Significant experience representing nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations and familiarity with the laws and regulations affecting nonprofit organizations, including among others, nonprofit corporate law and federal tax-exemption law. - Willingness to learn and develop expertise in additional areas of nonprofit law, and interest in staying current on legal developments and trends affecting nonprofit organizations - Leads by example and stewards commitment to Tides’ mission, impact goals, and JEDI principles. - Holds self and others accountable for high-quality, timely, and effective results. - Adapts easily to working with a variety of stakeholders and to the varying needs of the organization, while maintaining a strong voice for legal compliance. - Sound, well-calibrated risk judgment — able to distinguish material risk from theoretical risk and advise accordingly. - Exercises excellent judgment in handling confidential information and other potentially sensitive matters. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, with ability to counsel executives and make legal concepts accessible to non-lawyers across fields of expertise. We can split: Requirements = first three items (experience). Skills = remaining items (behavioral/competencies). Qualifications = Ideal Experience list. Thus: Requirements (

Requirements

) with first three bullet points. Skills (

Skills

) with the rest. Qualifications (

Qualifications

) with Ideal Experience. Now check for any other substantive content: The "About Tides" paragraph at start. Should we include it? It's about the organization, not the role. Could be placed as a

before sections. The instruction didn't forbid extra paragraphs. It said "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." It didn't say we cannot have prose outside sections. So we can include a

  with the organization description. Thus final HTML:

  Then About the role section as above. Then Responsibilities. Then Requirements. Then Skills. Then Qualifications. We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not included application instructions, EEO, etc. Check for any filler like "commensurate with experience": none.
