Senior Employment Counsel
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Qualifications (What You Bring), Skills (maybe separate from Qualifications? The posting has "Skills & Competencies" after Experience & Education. Could treat as Skills section. Also Requirements maybe same as Qualifications? The allowed headings include Requirements and Qualifications both. We could split: Requirements = Experience & Education (8+ years, JD, license). Qualifications = In-House Experience, Company Environment, Licenses? Actually Licenses is part of Qualifications. But we can combine. Safer: Use Requirements for experience/education, Qualifications for additional preferences, Skills for competencies.
But we must not create thin sections. Let's see content:
Experience & Education:
- 8+ years of relevant employment law experience.
- In-House Experience: Strongly preferred. Candidates with significant law firm experience will be considered if they have served in an outside general counsel/embedded capacity or completed a corporate secondment.
- Company Environment: Experience in high-growth technology companies and/or public companies is highly valued.
- Licenses: Juris Doctor degree and active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
That's substantive.
Skills & Competencies:
- Communication & Judgment: Exceptional written, verbal, and executive-level communication skills, with the ability to explain complex legal ideas simply and make well-reasoned judgments under ambiguity.
- Project Management: Strong organizational skills with a proven track record of managing competing priorities, driving cross-functional projects, and building repeatable structure.
- Commercial Acumen: A performance-first mindset with a strong commitment to enabling business growth while protecting the organization from material exposure.
- Team Orientation: Ability to function independently as a self-starter while collaborating seamlessly across a diverse group of internal stakeholders.
That's also substantive.
Thus we can have Requirements (Experience & Education), Qualifications (In-House Experience, Company Environment, Licenses), Skills (Communication & Judgment, Project Management, Commercial Acumen, Team Orientation). Or we could combine Requirements and Qualifications but better to follow allowed headings.
Now Benefits: they mention comprehensive benefits and holistic mind, body and lifestyle programs. That's not a list but we can put in
.
Pay: salary range.
Now About the role: include the introductory paragraphs up to "What You'll Do". Actually the intro includes "ZoomInfo is where careers accelerate..." and description of role. We'll put that in About the role.
Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" section includes bullet-like paragraphs. We need to turn into
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are described in paragraphs with bold headings like "Comprehensive Employment Support (From Tactical to Strategic)" then subpoints. We could treat each bold heading as a list item? Or we could keep prose. The rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we treat the responsibilities as a list, we can make each duty as
- . But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can break into list items.
Let's extract duties:
- End-to-End Ownership: Own all employment matters across the company—no matter how small or routine. Provide reliable, day-to-day counseling and tactical execution on performance management, employee discipline, accommodations, leave, and terminations.
- Support Across All Levels: Partner with and support HR professionals at every level of the organization, from senior HR VPs to entry-level HRBPs. Meet HR partners where they are, providing patient, practical coaching and timely answers to operational questions.
- Deliver Recommendation-Oriented Advice: Provide actionable, pragmatic guidance that balances legal risk with commercial objectives, operational speed, and employee experience. Regularly present a clear point of view and recommended path forward rather than merely enumerating risks.
- Executive Communication: Translate complex employment-law issues into clear, concise, and business-oriented terms for senior leaders, distinguishing effectively between material exposure and manageable operational decisions.
- Support Decision-Making: Partner with the CHRO, Chief Business Officer, HR VPs, and finance/compensation executives to support key employment-related decisions and strategy. Recognize that business leaders own final personnel and business decisions, and provide robust operational and legal support for those decisions even when they differ from initial legal recommendations.
- Proactive Partnership: Maintain open-door collaboration and recurring alignment meetings with designated HR leaders to ensure seamless daily support.
- Global Employment Oversight: Oversee employment matters across all company jurisdictions (including the U.S., UK, Ireland, India, Canada, and Israel). Coordinate effectively with local outside counsel on international issues, building internal knowledge bases and repeatable playbooks rather than outsourcing oversight entirely.
- Policy & Agreement Maintenance: Review, update, and scale employment policies, procedures, handbooks, and agreements as the business evolves.
- Build Structure: Create and implement scalable processes, templates, and decision frameworks where current practices are informal, growing, or evolving.
- Outside Counsel Management: Effectively supervise and partner with outside counsel on litigation, administrative proceedings, and specialized matters, ensuring practical outcomes and cost efficiency.
That's a lot; we can list each as

Skills: list.

We must not include Schedule.
Check for any repeated content: ensure we didn't miss any substantive info like "Location: hybrid role based out of Bethesda, MD or Waltham, MA offices. Travel: Rare travel may be required (e.g., occasional on-site depositions, mediations, trials, or annual team off-sites in a U.S. office)." This is location/travel info. Not covered by allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. Let's add a sentence about location and travel in About the role.
Also note "Actual compensation offered will be based on factors such as the candidate’s work location, qualifications, skills, experience and/or training. Your recruiter can share more information about the specific salary range for your desired work location during the hiring process." That's about pay; we already have salary range; we could add a note that actual compensation based on factors. But that's somewhat filler? It's specific info about compensation determination. Could include in Pay section as a sentence after range.
Also "We want our employees and their families to thrive. In addition to comprehensive benefits we offer holistic mind, body and lifestyle programs designed for overall well-being. Learn more about ZoomInfo benefits here." That's benefits; we can include that.
