Senior Director, Intellectual Property Counsel
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map headings accordingly. The posting includes sections: "Our Company" (maybe About the role?), "What You'll Do" (Responsibilities), "Who You'll Work With" (maybe part of responsibilities?), "What Makes You a Qualified Candidate" (Qualifications), "What You'll Bring" (Skills?), "Why We Think You'll Love Teradata" (Benefits? Actually it's culture/benefits). There's no explicit Pay or Schedule, so we should not create those sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At end there is EEO statement; we should remove that. Also duplicate "Why We Think You'll Love Teradata" appears twice; we need to keep only one instance, preserving content but not duplicate.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include content under each heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content is list vs prose. Many bullet-like sentences are paragraphs; we can keep as
. But if there are enumerated items (like "Key Areas of Responsibility" with bullet points), we should convert to
- . The posting includes "Key Areas of Responsibility" with several bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually they are sentences: "Intellectual Property Strategy & Portfolio Management Lead Teradata’s global IP strategy...". That's a paragraph. Could treat as
. But we could also treat each as
- under a
. The instruction: use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The "Key Areas of Responsibility" is a list of duties. So we should make a
with each duty as - . Similarly "Product Counsel Leadership" maybe also part of responsibilities; but it's a heading under responsibilities? Actually after "Key Areas of Responsibility" there is a subheading "Intellectual Property Strategy & Portfolio Management" then paragraphs, then "Product Counsel Leadership" then paragraphs, then "AI, Data & Responsible Innovation", then "Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration". Those could be sub-sections but we only have h3 for main sections. We could keep them as
with bold headings? But we cannot add arbitrary tags besides h3, ul, li, p. We could embed inside p? Not prohibited but maybe better to keep as plain text. The instruction only says use those tags; doesn't forbid other tags, but to be safe we can just use p for prose and ul/li for lists.
Thus we need to decide which parts are lists. The "What You'll Do" section includes a paragraph describing role, then "Key Areas of Responsibility" with multiple bullet-like items. We'll treat each of those as - . Also "Who You'll Work With" is a paragraph.
"What Makes You a Qualified Candidate" includes bullet-like requirements: Juris Doctor, bar membership, USPTO registration, 12+ years experience, etc. We'll make a
.
"What You'll Bring" includes bullet-like items: Deep knowledge..., Strong product counseling judgment..., Practical understanding..., Familiarity..., Ability..., Experience..., Experience..., Excellent..., High ethical standards... We'll make a .
"Why We Think You'll Love Teradata" includes bullet-like items: We prioritize..., We embrace..., We focus..., We are committed..., We are an anti-racist company..., We work..., We are proud..., We do not discriminate... We'll make a (benefits/culture). However note that the duplicate appears; we need to deduplicate.
We also have "Our Company" paragraph at start; we can treat as under heading maybe "About the role"? Actually "Our Company" is about Teradata. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction list includes "About the role" as example heading. We'll use
About the role
for that paragraph.
Then Responsibilities
for "What You'll Do" content.
Then Who You'll Work With
maybe as part of responsibilities? Could be its own section. The instruction list includes no specific heading for that, but we can still use Who You'll Work With
as it's a heading in the posting. It's not in the list but we can still use h3 for any section heading; the list is just examples. So we can use that.
Then Qualifications
for "What Makes You a Qualified Candidate".
Then Skills
for "What You'll Bring".
Then Benefits
for "Why We Think You'll Love Teradata".
We must not include Pay or Schedule sections.
Now we need to extract content, removing boilerplate and duplicates.
Let's extract each section's content.
**Our Company** paragraph:
"Our Company At Teradata, we believe that people thrive when empowered with better information. Teradata Autonomous Knowledge Platform activates enterprise intelligence by unifying data, knowledge and business context to achieve tangible outcomes. With Teradata, organizations can provide agents with full context for impact when it matters. Our solution lets businesses connect and scale on premises, in the cloud, or through a hybrid approach. Teradata delivers real business value with AI."
We need to remove the repeated "Our Company" heading? We'll keep the paragraph.
**What You'll Do** (Responsibilities):
Paragraph: "The Senior Director, Intellectual Property & Product Counsel, is a key player within the Teradata Law Organization, leading Teradata’s intellectual property strategy and overseeing a small team of IP professionals as well as Teradata’s Product Counsel function. This role serves as a strategic legal partner to Product Engineering, Go-to-Market, Ethics & Compliance, and other Law Organization stakeholders, helping Teradata protect and leverage its innovation while enabling responsible product development, launch, and lifecycle management. The Senior Director will operate as a trusted business partner across the enterprise."
Then "Key Areas of Responsibility" with subheadings and paragraphs. We'll convert each bullet to - . Let's list them:
- Intellectual Property Strategy & Portfolio Management
Lead Teradata’s global IP strategy across patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, open-source, and related IP assets, aligned with product roadmap, competitive positioning, and business priorities.
Oversee invention harvesting, patent filing, prosecution, maintenance, and portfolio management globally, directing outside counsel to ensure strategic, cost-effective protection of high-value innovation.
Advise Product Engineering, research, marketing, and GTM teams on IP protection, competitive risk, licensing, open-source governance, and product differentiation.
Support IP aspects of strategic transactions, partnerships, M&A, licensing, customer negotiations, and disputes, coordinating with Commercial Law, Litigation, and other Law Department teams as needed.
Manage IP risk, including NPE monitoring, competitive intelligence, freedom-to-operate considerations, and coordination with Litigation on IP disputes and enforcement matters.
Develop IP strategies that support Teradata’s AI, data, and software business, including protection of AI-related innovation, product differentiation, and responsible use of IP in AI-enabled products and workflows.
Oversee IP governance, education, and operations, including invention intake, portfolio analytics, IP policies, docketing/technology systems, and practical training for Product Engineering, GTM, and other business teams.
- Product Counsel Leadership
Oversee and mature Teradata’s Product Counsel function, ensuring legal input is embedded early in product planning, development, launch, and post-launch lifecycle processes.
Coordinate with Product Counsel to ensure product-level insights help inform Teradata’s IP strategy.
Oversee the Product Counsel team as the first point of legal coordination for product-related issues, ensuring risks are identified early and routed to the appropriate Law Organization subject matter experts, including AI, privacy, ESG, trade/export, IP, open-source, product claims, customer commitments, and commercialization models.
Continue to develop scalable processes, playbooks, intake workflows, and governance mechanisms that help product teams move efficiently while managing legal and compliance risk.
Partner with Product Engineering and GTM teams to provide practical, business-oriented advice on feature design, market entry, launch readiness, product documentation, terms of use, and product-related disclosures.
- AI, Data & Responsible Innovation
Advise on legal issues arising from Teradata’s AI and data-driven products, including model governance, training data, AI-generated outputs, product claims, regulatory developments, and responsible AI controls.
Work with Ethics & Compliance, Privacy, Product Engineering, and GTM teams to design practical compliance-by-design approaches that support faster, more predictable product launches.
- Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration
Lead, coach, and prioritize the work of IP and Product Counsel team members, ensuring high-quality legal support that is responsive to business needs.
Communicate complex legal, technical, and regulatory concepts clearly to senior leaders, product teams, engineers, and non-legal stakeholders.
Manage outside counsel relationships and budgets across IP and product-related matters, with a focus on quality, efficiency, and practical outcomes.
Drive cross-functional alignment with Ethics & Compliance, GTM, Product Engineering, Privacy, Security, Commercial Law, and other stakeholders on product and innovation risk.
We need to decide if each bullet should be a single
- containing multiple sentences, or we could break each sentence into separate
- . The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't specify granularity. Probably each bullet point as a
- is fine, even if it contains multiple sentences.
Thus we will create a
with each top-level bullet as - . Inside each
- we can have multiple sentences; we could also use
inside
- but that may be extra tags. Simpler: just put the sentences as text inside
- . We'll keep line breaks.
Now "Who You'll Work With" paragraph:
"The Senior Director will report to the VP of Law and will work closely with Ethics & Compliance, GTM, Product Engineering, Privacy, Security, Commercial Law, and other stakeholders to provide practical legal guidance that supports innovation, responsible product development, and business growth. This role will oversee a small IP team and Product Counsel function; partner with stakeholders throughout the organization, including Product, the Technology Office, and Marketing."
Now "What Makes You a Qualified Candidate" (Qualifications):
Paragraph: "Juris Doctor (J. D. ) from an accredited law school; active bar membership in at least one U. S. jurisdiction required. USPTO registration strongly preferred. Minimum of 12+ years of relevant legal experience, including significant intellectual property and product counseling experience in a technology company environment; prior in-house leadership experience preferred. Demonstrated experience leading global IP strategy, managing patent and trademark portfolios, advising on open-source and technology licensing, and partnering with product and engineering teams. Technical fluency in software, data analytics, AI, cloud, or related technology areas is strongly preferred."
We'll convert each requirement to
- . Could split by sentences.
