      About the role

      The Senior Counsel or Assistant General Counsel will provide expert legal advice and guidance to the organization on a wide range of legal issues. This role will work closely with various departments, primarily Regulatory, to support business objectives. This role may involve drafting and negotiating contracts; handling transactions, drafting testimony, appearance before regulatory bodies, discovery requests and responses, pleadings, and briefs; managing legal risks; and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Senior Counsel or Assistant General Counsel may also represent the company in legal proceedings and meetings with external parties. Represent AEP Texas in proceedings before the Public Utility Commission. Provide strategic legal advice on business initiatives. Lead contract negotiations for major projects and provide strategic legal advice on business initiatives. Oversee compliance programs to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements from agencies such as the FERC and state public utility commissions. Represent regulated subsidiaries in proceedings before federal or state regulatory agencies. Manage litigation processes and coordinate with outside legal counsel on significant disputes. Develop training and compliance programs for employees related to industry regulations and best practices. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment of legal strategies with business objectives. Where You'll Work: On-Site in Austin, TX.

      But we have duplicated sentences: The first paragraph includes some of the responsibilities; the "What You'll Do:" list repeats some. We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can combine without duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." We can combine but must not lose any detail. If we combine, we need to ensure we include each piece. Could list responsibilities as bullet list, and also include the earlier summary as prose. That's fine. Let's separate: About the role: summary paragraph (Job Summary). Then Responsibilities: bullet list from What You'll Do. Then Requirements: bullet list from What We're Looking For (including both Senior Counsel and Assistant General Counsel details). Could separate into Education, Experience, Certifications. Benefits: bullet list from What You'll Get. Pay: paragraph with Compensation Grade and Range. We should not include Schedule. Let's extract details precisely. Job Summary paragraph: "The Senior Counsel or Assistant General Counsel will provide expert legal advice and guidance to the organization on a wide range of legal issues. This role will work closely with various departments, primarily Regulatory, to support business objectives. This role may involve drafting and negotiating contracts; handling transactions, drafting testimony, appearance before regulatory bodies, discovery requests and responses, pleadings, and briefs; managing legal risks; and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Senior Counsel or Assistant General Counsel may also represent the company in legal proceedings and meetings with external parties." What You'll Do bullet points (as given): - Represent AEP Texas in proceedings before the Public Utility Commission. - Provide strategic legal advice on business initiatives. - Lead contract negotiations for major projects and provide strategic legal advice on business initiatives. - Oversee compliance programs to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements from agencies such as the FERC and state public utility commissions. - Represent regulated subsidiaries in proceedings before federal or state regulatory agencies. - Manage litigation processes and coordinate with outside legal counsel on significant disputes. - Develop training and compliance programs for employees related to industry regulations and best practices. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment of legal strategies with business objectives. Note there is duplication: "Provide strategic legal advice on business initiatives." appears twice. We'll keep both as separate bullets? Might be redundant but it's in posting. We'll preserve. What We're Looking For: Senior Counsel: - Education: Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited US law school - Experience: 7+ years of legal experience, preferably in a law firm or corporate legal department and in the electric utility or energy sector. Assistant General Counsel: - Education: Bachelor’s Degree and Juris Doctorate. - Experience: Eight plus years of experience as a practicing regulatory attorney in private practice or in a corporate legal department. - Certifications/Licenses: Active license to practice law in TX. We could combine as bullet list. What You'll Get: - Base salary - Annual bonus - Long-term Incentive - 401 Match - AEP Pension - Comprehensive benefits package that aims to support and enhance the overall well-being of our employees - (Grade level depends on skills and experience) – this is more about grade; maybe include as note. Compensation Data: - Compensation Grade: SP20-011 - Compensation Range: $160,434.00 - $245,079.00 Physical Demand Level etc is boilerplate? It's substantive but not requested sections. Could be omitted as not part of headings. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Physical demand level is not those; but we have no heading for it. Could we include as a short p under About the role? Might be considered extra detail. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could omit physical demand as not fitting any heading. But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit it, we lose info. However we could include it as a paragraph under About the role or maybe under a separate section like "Working Conditions". But we only allowed headings list; we could add a heading like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed list? The rules say use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use

      for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings only. Physical demand may not fit. Could we incorporate into About the role as a sentence? That would preserve info. Yes we can add a sentence about physical demand level. Similarly, the EEO boilerplate should be removed. Also "Hear about it first! Get job alerts by email..." is application instruction, remove. Also "#AEPCareers #AEPTX" remove. Also "Putting the Customer First Powers Everything We Do!" is marketing fluff but substantive? It's about company culture. Could be included under About the role as a paragraph. It's not boilerplate? It's not EEO. Might be considered substantive. We'll keep as a paragraph. Now craft HTML. We'll have:

      About the role

      [Job Summary paragraph] [Culture paragraph] [Physical demand sentence] [Location sentence].

      But we need to avoid too long paragraph; still okay. Let's write:

At AEP, we’re more than just an energy company — we’re a team of dedicated professionals committed to delivering safe, reliable, and innovative energy solutions. Guided by our mission to put the customer first, we strive to exceed expectations by listening, responding, and continuously improving the way we serve our communities. If you're passionate about making a meaningful impact and being part of a forward-thinking organization, this is the company for you! The Physical Demand Level for this job is: S – Sedentary Work: Exerting up to 10 pounds of force occasionally (Occasionally: activity or condition exists up to 1/3 of the time) and/or a negligible amount of force frequently. (Frequently: activity or condition exists from 1/3 to 2/3 of the time) to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects, including the human body. Sedentary work involves sitting most of the time but may involve walking or standing for brief periods of time. Jobs are sedentary if walking and standing are required only occasionally, and all other sedentary criteria are met.

      That's a lot but preserves. Now Responsibilities: we could just reuse the bullet list from What You'll Do. But we already included those responsibilities in the About the role paragraph (we duplicated). To avoid duplication, we could keep About the role as just the Job Summary paragraph (first paragraph) and location, culture, physical demand. Then Responsibilities bullet list separate. That would avoid duplication but still preserve all info. Let's do that. Thus: About the role: Job Summary paragraph + location + culture + physical demand. Responsibilities: bullet list of What You'll Do. Requirements: bullet list of What We're Looking For (including both Senior Counsel and Assistant General Counsel details). Benefits: bullet list of What You'll Get. Pay: paragraph with Compensation Grade and Range. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: "The Senior Counsel or Assistant General Counsel will provide expert legal advice and guidance to the organization on a wide range of legal issues.
