Sr. Legal Counsel
Vertafore · Denver, CO · 1 mo ago
Legal$130k–$170k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes a description paragraph before "Job Description". We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- Salary range: $130,000 - $170,000 / year. That's Pay. So we need a Pay section.
- Benefits: there is a "Why Vertafore is the place for you:" with Canada Only and US Only sections listing benefits. So we need Benefits section.
- Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule.
- About the role: The initial paragraph describing company and role? The "Job Description" heading then paragraphs describing responsibilities. Could treat as About the role or Responsibilities. The instruction: use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- Salary range: $130,000 - $170,000 / year. That's Pay. So we need a Pay section.
- Benefits: there is a "Why Vertafore is the place for you:" with Canada Only and US Only sections listing benefits. So we need Benefits section.
- Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule.
- About the role: The initial paragraph describing company and role? The "Job Description" heading then paragraphs describing responsibilities. Could treat as About the role or Responsibilities. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- Duties Include list (bulleted). That's Responsibilities.
- Requirements list (bulleted). That's Requirements.
- Additional Requirements And Details (travel, location, physical demands). Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? Might be additional requirements. Could be included under Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe not separate; we have Requirements includes JD, admission, experience etc. Could treat as Qualifications? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. The posting includes "Requirements" heading explicitly. So we should use Requirements
for that list.
- There's also "Additional Requirements And Details" which could be part of Requirements or maybe Qualifications. We'll include under Requirements as additional bullet points.
- There's no explicit "Skills" section separate; but we could extract skills from duties? Probably not needed.
- There's no explicit "About the role" separate from responsibilities; but we have an introductory paragraph before "Job Description": "The Senior Legal Counsel is responsible for providing a broad range of legal services..." That's basically role description. Could be About the role.
Thus sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (Duties Include list), Requirements (including JD, admission, experience, etc plus Additional Requirements And Details), Benefits (Why Vertafore is the place for you: Canada Only and US Only), Pay (salary range). Possibly also "Qualifications" but we already have Requirements covering qualifications; we could omit Qualifications to avoid duplication.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions, contact info, etc. Also remove repeated paragraphs like "The selected candidate must be legally authorized to work in the United States." etc repeated multiple times. Keep only one instance? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to remove duplicated lines but keep one copy of substantive info. For example, the statement about legal authorization appears multiple times; we should keep it once. Similarly EEO statement appears multiple times; we should keep once? It's boilerplate EEO; we should remove it entirely as it's boilerplate. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So remove those statements.
Also remove "Vertafore is a drug free workplace and conducts preemployment drug and background screenings." repeated; that's also boilerplate? Might be considered substantive? It's a condition of employment; maybe keep once? It's not EEO; it's a policy. Could keep once. But it's repeated; we can keep one.
Also remove "We do not accept resumes from agencies, headhunters, or other suppliers who have not signed a formal agreement with us." repeated; that's also boilerplate; maybe keep once? It's a requirement; could keep.
But we need to be careful: The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So if a line appears multiple times, we should keep only one occurrence.
We'll need to parse the text and produce HTML.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro paragraph before "Job Description": "The insurance industry runs on Vertafore. We equip agencies, MGAs, and carriers with the core digital systems, specialized AI, and data-driven foundation to eliminate distribution drag across the insurance lifecycle, spanning sales, servicing, and back-office operations. Underpinned by unmatched speed and performance power, we are the trusted backbone that’s taking the insurance industry from friction to flow with Distribution Velocity - speed, performance, and trust - to drive growth at scale. With over 95% of the top agencies and insurers and 50% of industry compliance transactions running through Vertafore, we lead at the intersection of innovation and trust, giving insurance professionals the confidence to transform and win in the AI era. Our reach is global, with headquarters in Denver, Colorado, and offices across the U.S., Canada, and India."
Then "Job Description" heading (we should not output as heading because we will use our own headings). The paragraph after: "The Senior Legal Counsel is responsible for providing a broad range of legal services to the company with a significant focus on intellectual property protection, technology transactions, and contract drafting and negotiation. As an integral part of the legal team, you will be the main point of contact for the Customer Lifecycle including Sales and Marketing, Customer Support, Professional Services and Billing Operations teams and work collaboratively as a business partner to help the business identify and implement practical business solutions to achieve its goals. You will be responsible for updating, managing, drafting and negotiating a broad range of complex technical contracts including Software as a Service (SaaS), software and technology licensing, service and supply, professional services, consulting, confidentiality, purchasing or procurement, marketing and other agreements as may be requested from time to time. You will also assist the other attorneys within the team to address matters involving vendors, finance and sales, as well as customer and other third-party claims that may arise from time to time. The Senior Legal Counsel will report to the company’s General Counsel. The Senior Legal Counsel will be highly organized, solution driven, customer service-oriented, pragmatic and proactive in their approach to contracting and be able to work both collaboratively and autonomously. Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, is a must."
Then "Duties Include" list (bulleted). We'll convert to - .
Then "Requirements" heading with bullet list.
Then "Additional Requirements And Details" bullet list (travel, location, physical demands). We'll incorporate under Requirements.
Then "Why Vertafore is the place for you:" with Canada Only and US Only benefits. We'll create Benefits section with two sublists? Could just list all benefits.
We also have salary range at top: "$130,000 - $170,000 / year". We'll put in Pay section.
We need to avoid repeating duplicated lines like "The selected candidate must be legally authorized to work in the United States." appears multiple times; we keep once maybe under Requirements? Actually it's a requirement; we can include as a bullet under Requirements.
Also "Vertafore is a drug free workplace and conducts preemployment drug and background screenings." appears multiple times; keep once maybe under Requirements.
Also "We do not accept resumes from agencies, headhunters, or other suppliers who have not signed a formal agreement with us." appears multiple times; keep once maybe under Requirements.
Also EEO statements repeated; we remove entirely.
Also "The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people assigned to this job. They are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all the job responsibilities, duties, skill, or working conditions. In addition, this document does not create an employment contract, implied or otherwise, other than an "at will" relationship." appears multiple times; that's boilerplate legal disclaimer; we should remove.
Also "The Professional Services (PS) and Customer Success (CX) bonus plans are a quarterly monetary bonus plan..." etc. That's substantive about bonus plans; could be part of Benefits or maybe separate? It's about compensation; could be included in Benefits or Pay? It's about bonus plans; we could include under Benefits as additional compensation. But we already have Pay section for salary; we could add a note about bonus plans in Benefits or maybe a separate section? The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content; we have bonus plan details; we could include under Benefits as part of compensation benefits. Or we could create a separate "Compensation" but not in list. We'll put under Benefits.
Also "Commission plans are tailored to each sales role..." not relevant to this role (legal). Might be boilerplate; but it's about sales roles; could be removed as not relevant? It's still part of posting but not relevant to Senior Legal Counsel; but it's still substantive info about company; we could keep but maybe it's not needed. Safer to keep? It's not about the role; but it's still in posting. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it if it's substantive. However it's about sales roles; still part of posting. We'll keep it under Benefits maybe as a note.
But we need to avoid duplication; it appears once.
Now let's extract Benefits content:

Life, AD&D appears both; keep once.
Additional programs - Employee Referral and Internal Recognition appears Canada; US list includes Additional programs - Tuition Reimbursement, Employee Referral, Internal Recognition, and Wellness. So we can combine.
We'll produce a Benefits section with a
listing all distinct benefits.
Now Requirements section:
From "Requirements" bullet list:

Requirements
for that list. - There's also "Additional Requirements And Details" which could be part of Requirements or maybe Qualifications. We'll include under Requirements as additional bullet points. - There's no explicit "Skills" section separate; but we could extract skills from duties? Probably not needed. - There's no explicit "About the role" separate from responsibilities; but we have an introductory paragraph before "Job Description": "The Senior Legal Counsel is responsible for providing a broad range of legal services..."

Thus sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (Duties Include list), Requirements (including JD, admission, experience, etc plus Additional Requirements And Details), Benefits (Why Vertafore is the place for you: Canada Only and US Only), Pay (salary range). Possibly also "Qualifications" but we already have Requirements covering qualifications; we could omit Qualifications to avoid duplication. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions, contact info, etc. Also remove repeated paragraphs like "The selected candidate must be legally authorized to work in the United States." etc repeated multiple times.
