Senior Employment Counsel, Americas

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes sections: About Airwallex, Attributes We Value, About The Team, What You'll Do, Responsibilities, Who You Are (Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications), Applicant Safety Policy, Equal opportunity, Compensation Range. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings appropriately. We have content: About Airwallex (company overview) maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be a summary of role. The posting includes "About The Team" and "What You'll Do". Could treat "About the role" as combination of About The Team and What You'll Do? But we must not invent headings with filler. We need to decide which sections to include based on actual content. We have: - About Airwallex (company description) - could be placed under a heading like "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be "About Airwallex" but not in allowed list. Allowed headings are limited to those listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must use those headings only. So we need to map content to those headings. Thus we need to decide which sections we have substantive content for: - Responsibilities: we have "What You'll Do" bullet list (actually paragraphs). So we can put that under

Responsibilities

. - Requirements: we have Minimum Qualifications (J.D., bar, 7+ years, etc.) That's requirements. - Qualifications: we have Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills list. - Benefits: not provided besides compensation range; no benefits details. - Pay: we have Compensation Range: $160K - $270K. So we can include Pay section. - Schedule: not provided. - About the role: we could include a summary of role from "About The Team" and "What You'll Do"? But we already used Responsibilities for What You'll Do. About the role could be a brief description: maybe combine About Airwallex and About The Team? But we need to avoid filler. The posting includes "About The Team" describing Legal & Licensing team. That could be considered "About the role". However we already used Responsibilities for What You'll Do. Could we put "About The Team" under About the role? That seems appropriate: a description of the team and role context. Thus we can have:

About the role

with content from About Airwallex? Actually About Airwallex is company overview, not role. But we could include both About Airwallex and About The Team under About the role? Might be too much but permissible as long as we preserve all substantive info. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to include all info. We can split into multiple sections: About the role (maybe containing About The Team and What You'll Do?), Responsibilities (maybe duplicate?), but we must not duplicate content. Better to assign each distinct block to a section. We have blocks: 1. About Airwallex (company overview) 2. Attributes We Value (culture) 3. About The Team (Legal & Licensing team description) 4. What You'll Do (role description) 5. Responsibilities (list of duties) 6. Who You Are (Minimum Qualifications) 7. Preferred Qualifications 8. Applicant Safety Policy (scam warning) - this is boilerplate; we should remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So we drop Applicant Safety Policy. 9. Equal opportunity - also boilerplate; remove. 10. Compensation Range - Pay. Thus we need to keep: About Airwallex, Attributes We Value, About The Team, What You'll Do, Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Compensation Range. We must map to allowed headings. Possible mapping: - About the role: could combine About Airwallex + Attributes We Value + About The Team + What You'll Do? That seems like a lot but it's all substantive info about role/company. However we also have separate Responsibilities section; we could keep Responsibilities separate. But we must not create sections with filler. If we put all that under About the role, it's fine as long as we don't leave any heading empty. Alternatively we could have multiple sections: About the role (maybe About Airwallex), Attributes (maybe Skills?), About the team (maybe Responsibilities?), but we need to stick to allowed headings. Let's think: Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use: - About the role: include About Airwallex, Attributes We Value, About The Team, What You'll Do (role description). This covers narrative about role and company. - Responsibilities: the list of duties (the bullet points under "Responsibilities"). - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe we could extract skills from Attributes We Value? But that's more about values. Could we put Attributes We Value under Skills? Not ideal but maybe acceptable as skills/attributes. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we skip Skills if not explicit. - Benefits: none. - Pay: Compensation Range. - Schedule: none. Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay. We must ensure we don't include empty sections. Now we need to format content: Use

for each heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy the text exactly (or close) but we can format into paragraphs and lists. We must not include boilerplate like Applicant Safety Policy, Equal opportunity. We must not repeat job title as heading (we aren't). No Job ID. Now let's extract the substantive blocks. About Airwallex paragraph: "Airwallex is the only unified payments and financial platform for global businesses. Powered by our unique combination of proprietary infrastructure and software, we empower over 250,000 businesses worldwide – including Brex, Navan, Qantas, SHEIN and many more – with fully integrated solutions to manage everything from business accounts, payments, spend management and treasury, to embedded finance at a global scale.

Rowe Price, Visa, Mastercard, Robinhood Ventures, Sequoia, Salesforce Ventures, DST Global, and Lone Pine Capital, Airwallex is leading the charge in building the global payments and financial platform of the future. If you’re ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us." Attributes We Value: "We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles.

About The Team: "Legal & Licensing at Airwallex sits at the heart of the decisions that shape how Airwallex grows. This team backs the visionary builders transforming Airwallex into a generational financial company, sharing the journey of product development and sales alongside our business partners. You’ll help shape a global licensing footprint most fintechs wish they had, while making sure our brand and data architecture stay best-in-class for customers entering the agentic economy and ready for its regulatory demands. The hard part is helping the business move fast on product, revenue, and new-market expansion without compromising the regulatory discipline that protects the moat." What You'll Do: "You'll be the senior employment counsel for Airwallex in the Americas, and a hands-on partner to our People & Talent team on the issues that carry the most risk: terminations, workplace investigations, employee relations, and the policies that govern how 3,000+ people across 20+ markets work. You'll own US employment law directly and coordinate advice across other jurisdictions with our external counsel panel. Because Airwallex operates through licensed entities in most of its markets, you'll also work on questions that a generalist employment lawyer rarely sees: contractor and EOR classification across borders, remote work and mobility exposure, and conduct and remuneration matters in regulated entities. This role suits someone who wants to build the playbooks and templates a scaling employment function runs on, not just answer tickets. This role is based in San Francisco, New York, or Seattle." Responsibilities (list): "Advise the People & Talent team and business leaders on the full employee lifecycle, including hiring, contracts and variations, performance management, accommodations, leaves, wage and hour compliance, and terminations. Lead workplace investigations and sensitive employee matters end-to-end, working with the cross-functional People and Legal working group. Draft, refresh, and own employment-related policies and templates. Manage employment disputes, agency charges, and litigation, instructing and controlling external counsel and associated legal spend. Coordinate multi-jurisdiction employment advice across APAC, EMEA and the Americas, including contractor and employer-of-record arrangements, cross-border remote work and mobility risk. Advise on compensation, benefits, and equity matters in a private company context." Minimum Qualifications: "We're looking for people who meet the minimum requirements for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory. J.D. degree (or foreign equivalent) and active membership in at least one US state bar (California, Washington, or New York preferred) 7+ years of employment law experience at a leading law firm and/or in-house legal department, with demonstrated employment counseling experience beyond litigation alone Experience advising on and coordinating employment law advice across multiple jurisdictions Experience leading workplace investigations and managing employment disputes, agency charges, or tribunal matters The ability to translate complex legal and risk issues into clear, succinct, and actionable guidance for non-legal audiences High motivation and the ability to operate independently and pivot quickly within a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment" Preferred Qualifications: "Experience at a fintech, payments company, or other highly regulated business Experience with contractor classification, employer-of-record populations, or cross-border remote work and permanent establishment risk A learner's mentality: you are consistently looking to take on new and diverse challenges and expand your knowledge and practice beyond your current areas of expertise Comfort operating across time zones with a globally distributed team, including colleagues based in APAC and EMEA" Compensation Range: "Compensation Range: $160K - $270K" Now we need to put these into sections. About the role: combine About Airwallex, Attributes We Value, About The Team, What You'll Do. Should we separate into multiple

  elements? Yes. Responsibilities:

  • each duty. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list: each bullet as
  • . Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list. Pay:

    Compensation Range: $160K - $270K

    We must not include Benefits or Schedule. Now ensure we don't include any filler like
