Senior Counsel, Litigation & Regulatory

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About The Team, About The Role, In This Role, You Might Thrive..., About OpenAI, Compensation Range (Pay). Also maybe location/hybrid/relocation as part of prose. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, background checks, etc. Remove those. Also remove application instructions, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep details about team, role, responsibilities, qualifications, about OpenAI, compensation range. We must not repeat job title as heading (not given). No Job ID. We need headings using

for sections: About the team, About the role, Responsibilities (maybe "In This Role, You Will" is responsibilities), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe "You Might Thrive In This Role If You Have" is qualifications), Benefits (none given), Pay (Compensation Range), Schedule (hybrid work model and relocation assistance). Also maybe location. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. So we can include: - About The Team - About The Role - Responsibilities (the bullet list of duties) - Qualifications (the "You Might Thrive..." list) - About OpenAI - Pay (Compensation Range) - Schedule (Hybrid work model 3 days in office per week, relocation assistance) We should not include Benefits unless present (none). So omit Benefits. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list and qualifications list we need ul/li. Prose for other paragraphs. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, background checks, etc. So we need to cut those paragraphs. Let's extract content: About The Team: "OpenAI's Legal team plays a crucial role in furthering OpenAI's mission by tackling innovative, fundamental legal issues in AI. If you're passionate about doing significant and unique work as a technology lawyer, this team is for you. The team comprises legal professionals from diverse fields, including technology, privacy, IP, corporate, cybersecurity, employment, tax, regulatory, and litigation." About The Role: "We’re growing our Litigation and Regulatory team and seek an experienced counsel to lead high-stakes regulatory investigations, enforcement matters, and related litigation involving AI. You will own matters from initial inquiry through resolution, develop practical strategies for novel and technically complex issues, and translate an evolving factual record into clear advice. The role works closely with Legal, Product, Research, Safety, Security, Communications, Global Affairs, and executive stakeholders. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees." In This Role, You Will (list): - Lead regulatory inquiries, investigations, and enforcement matters in the United States and internationally, including matters involving federal agencies, state attorneys general, and international regulatory bodies. - Develop strategy for contested enforcement proceedings and related litigation, including challenges to investigative demands and coordination across parallel matters. - Partner with litigation and subject-matter counsel on related civil disputes, including privacy, consumer protection, class actions, cybersecurity, competition, copyright, trademark, and other IP issues. - Manage subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information from regulators and related entities, and discovery. - Prepare employees and executives for interviews, testimony, depositions, trial, and other appearances before regulators. - Negotiate resolutions to demands, complaints, and enforcement matters, and assess the practical implications of proposed remedies and commitments. - Select and manage outside counsel, set strategy and budgets, and maintain clear accountability for quality, timing, and outcomes. - Develop proactive and, where appropriate, affirmative legal strategies to address regulatory risk and protect the company’s ability to develop and deploy AI responsibly. - Partner with Global Affairs and Communications on regulator engagement and sensitive external communications, keeping legal strategy and factual representations aligned. - Assess emerging legal and regulatory developments affecting AI and provide clear, actionable advice to leadership about risks, options, and recommended next steps. You Might Thrive In This Role If You Have (list): - 10+ years of regulatory investigations and/or litigation experience, including substantial experience at technology companies and law firms. - Have personally set strategy and led complex matters from initial inquiry through resolution, including direct engagement with regulators and opposing counsel. - Communicate complex legal and technical issues clearly, distinguish established facts from uncertainty, and make practical recommendations under pressure. - Work effectively with cross-functional teams, legal operations, outside counsel, and senior stakeholders while managing multiple urgent matters. - Bring intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, a strong sense of ownership, and a willingness to challenge assumptions respectfully and learn from feedback. - Have a JD and a license or qualification to practice in California. About OpenAI: "OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity." Compensation Range: "$330K - $366K" We also have location/hybrid/relocation already in About The Role paragraph; we could also put schedule section. We need to avoid duplication: The hybrid work model and relocation assistance appear in About The Role; we could keep them there, but also could create Schedule section. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could keep hybrid/relocation within About The Role paragraph, and not create separate Schedule section unless needed. However we have to include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state hybrid work model and relocation assistance. So we could create a Schedule section with that info. But then we would duplicate content if we also keep it in About The Role. We should avoid duplication. So we could move that info to Schedule section and remove from About The Role paragraph. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can relocate it. The About The Role paragraph currently includes: "This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees." We could split: keep base location in About The Role, and move hybrid/relocation to Schedule. Or we could keep all in About The Role and not create Schedule section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to keep About The Role include location, hybrid, relocation, and not create Schedule section. But then we would not have a Schedule section even though posting states them; but the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does not require us to create them if we have the info elsewhere. It's okay to not have a Schedule section if we included the info elsewhere. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can avoid making a thin Schedule section. So we will not create Schedule section; we will keep hybrid/relocation in About The Role. Thus sections: About The Team, About The Role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, About OpenAI, Pay. We need headings exactly as per examples: "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". They said use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should match those exact headings (case-insensitive?). Probably use exactly as given: "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Pay". For About The Team we could use "About the team". Not listed but seems okay. For About OpenAI maybe "About OpenAI". Not in list but we can use heading. They didn't forbid other headings; they just gave examples. We'll use

  for each section. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. So we will cut those paragraphs. Now construct HTML. We'll have:
