Senior Legal Counsel: Supply Chain

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes sections: About the role? Not explicit but there is description. We can treat "Job Description" as maybe not needed. We need headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. We have: Job Description paragraph describing role. Could be "About the role". Then "Key Responsibilities" list. Then "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine as Requirements and Qualifications. Also maybe "Skills" could be derived from required qualifications (communication, negotiation). But we should not invent. We can include a Skills section if we have explicit skills list. The posting includes "Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills." That's a skill list. Could put under Skills. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So omit those sections. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, Work Authorization, etc. Also remove "Our Culture" maybe not needed as it's not a standard heading; but we could include as maybe "About the role"? Actually culture is separate but not requested headings. We should only output sections for headings listed. So we ignore culture. We need to preserve all substantive information: include the description paragraphs, responsibilities list, qualifications, preferred qualifications, skills. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (prose from Job Description). Responsibilities (list from Key Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe from required qualifications). Could combine Required and Preferred under Requirements and Qualifications respectively. We must not create empty sections. Let's extract content. About the role: The paragraph after "Job Description": "The Senior Legal Counsel, Supply Chain will serve as a strategic legal partner to Fluence's global procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, engineering, quality, and operations teams. This role will be responsible for structuring, drafting, negotiating, and managing a wide variety of complex commercial transactions involving the procurement, manufacture, and delivery of critical components, systems, and services supporting Fluence's energy storage business. The successful candidate will advise on domestic and international supply chain matters, including supplier agreements, manufacturing arrangements, strategic sourcing initiatives, operational risk management, compliance requirements, intellectual property protection, logistics, and supply continuity. This position requires a pragmatic, collaborative attorney capable of balancing commercial objectives with effective risk management in a fast-paced, highly technical, and global business environment." That's the prose. Responsibilities: Under "Key Responsibilities" there are subheadings: Commercial Contracting, Supply Chain & Manufacturing Support, Regulatory & Compliance Support, Intellectual Property & Technology Matters, Strategic Business Partnership. Each has bullet-like sentences. We need to make a list. Could flatten into

  • items each sentence. Or we could keep subheadings? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a flat list of duties. We'll extract each duty sentence. Let's list: Commercial Contracting: - Draft, negotiate, and manage a broad range of commercial agreements, including: - Master Supply Agreements - Product Addenda - Long-Term Supply Agreements - Contract Manufacturing Agreements - Design and Development Agreements - Tooling Agreements - Licensing Agreements - Statements of Work - NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements - Logistics and Warehousing Agreements - Professional Services Agreements - Lead negotiations involving pricing structures: "Lead negotiations involving pricing structures, volume commitments, forecasting obligations, warranties, service levels, intellectual property rights, indemnities, limitation of liability provisions, and dispute resolution mechanisms." Supply Chain & Manufacturing Support: - Provide practical legal support for global sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, and supplier management activities. - Advise on supply continuity strategies, capacity reservations, allocation risks, transition planning, inventory commitments, and supplier performance remedies. - Support contract manufacturing and strategic supplier relationships across North America, Europe, and Asia. - Assist internal stakeholders in resolving supplier disputes, quality issues, warranty claims, delivery performance concerns, and commercial escalations. Regulatory & Compliance Support: - Advise on evolving domestic manufacturing and supply chain regulatory requirements, including those associated with: - Domestic content programs - U.S. federal energy incentives - Supply chain transparency requirements - Trade and import/export compliance - Sanctions and restricted-party requirements - Anti-corruption compliance - Responsible sourcing initiatives - Support cross-functional efforts related to domestic content qualifications, supplier certifications, and government incentive programs. Intellectual Property & Technology Matters: - Advise on intellectual property issues arising within supply and manufacturing transactions. - Structure and negotiate provisions relating to ownership, licensing, development rights, process know-how, manufacturing technology, tooling, and confidential information. - Partner with Fluence's intellectual property team to protect strategic technologies and manufacturing innovations. Strategic Business Partnership: - Collaborate closely with Procurement, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, Operations, Manufacturing, Finance, and Compliance teams. - Provide practical, solution-oriented legal advice that enables business objectives while appropriately managing risk. - Develop contracting templates, negotiation playbooks, risk matrices, training materials, and legal processes that improve operational efficiency. We could flatten all these into list items. Might be long but okay. Requirements: Required Qualifications list: - Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school. - Active membership in at least one U.S. state bar. - 7+ years of legal experience, including substantial experience supporting commercial transactions. - Significant experience drafting and negotiating complex supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, or commercial agreements. - Strong understanding of commercial contracting principles, including: - Warranty structures - Indemnification - Risk allocation - Limitation of liability - Intellectual property - Supplier performance management - Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills. - Ability to work independently while managing multiple competing priorities in a dynamic environment. Preferred Qualifications list: - In-house legal experience supporting manufacturing, procurement, supply chain, industrial, energy, technology, or infrastructure businesses. - Experience with global supply chains and international commercial transactions. - Familiarity with battery systems, electronics, power systems, renewable energy, energy storage, advanced manufacturing, or related industries. - Experience advising on domestic content, local content, trade compliance, or government incentive programs. - Strong business acumen and ability to provide practical, risk-balanced legal advice. Skills: Could extract from Required Qualifications: "Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills." Also maybe "Strong understanding of commercial contracting principles" etc. But we already have those under Requirements. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can omit Skills section if not distinct. But we could still include a Skills section with that skill list. However we must not invent. The posting includes that phrase exactly. So we can make a Skills section with that. But we already have that under Required Qualifications as a bullet. If we separate, we might duplicate. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay? It says do not repeat job title as heading, but not about duplication. However better to avoid duplication. We could keep the skill under Required Qualifications and not create separate Skills section. But we need to decide if we want a Skills section. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine skills into Requirements. So we will not create a Skills section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to output HTML fragment only. Let's craft:
