Vice President of Legal/General Counsel

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Position Summary" etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Ready to Apply?" etc. Also remove "Reports to: CEO" maybe keep as metadata? It says fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short

for "Reports to: CEO". Also "Position Summary" could be part of About the role? Probably we treat "Position Summary" as part of About the role. We'll create sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications maybe overlapping? Actually we have Required Qualifications (Education, Experience). Skills & Abilities could be Skills section. Benefits section: we have Compensation & Benefits details. Pay: we have "Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus opportunity" but no specific numbers; we should not create Pay section if only vague? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state "Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus opportunity" which is vague but still states something about pay. Is that considered filler? It's not a specific number but it's still stating something. The rule says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus opportunity" is somewhat generic but not exactly those placeholders. Might be okay to include Pay section with that sentence. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Pay into Benefits? But they have separate headings for Benefits and Pay. We could include Benefits section with details (ESOP, 401k, medical etc.) and Pay section with the base salary statement. Schedule: no info about schedule (hours, remote etc.) not given, so omit Schedule. We must not include duplicated lines. Need to extract duties list: Under "Essential Duties & Responsibilities" there are many bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading. We need to convert to

• . Each duty is a paragraph; we can treat each bold heading plus its description as a list item. We'll extract each. Duties: - Legal Strategy & Leadership: Serve as the Company's chief legal advisor and trusted strategic business partner to the CEO, Executive Leadership Team, and Board of Directors. Develop and execute an enterprise legal strategy aligned with organizational priorities, long-term growth, and shareholder interests. Advise executive leadership on the legal implications of strategic initiatives, including mergers and acquisitions, governance, enterprise risk, and organizational transformation. Provide practical, business-oriented counsel that enables informed decisions while balancing legal risk and commercial opportunity. - Compliance & Enterprise Risk Management: Establish and oversee an enterprise-wide legal and compliance framework that promotes ethical business practices and regulatory compliance. Identify emerging legal and regulatory risks and implement proactive mitigation strategies that protect the organization while enabling business objectives. Partner with executive leadership to integrate risk management into strategic and operational decision-making. - Corporate Governance: Serve as legal advisor to the Board of Directors, ensuring sound governance practices, fiduciary compliance, and adherence to legal and ethical standards. Oversee governance processes, Board materials, corporate records, and legal policies that promote transparency, accountability, and effective governance. - Litigation & Dispute Resolution: Develop litigation strategies that protect organizational interests while minimizing financial, operational, and reputational risk. Select, manage, and oversee outside counsel, insurance underwriters, investigations, regulatory matters, and legal disputes. - Commercial Contracts & Transactions: Lead the legal review, drafting, negotiation, and execution of significant commercial agreements with customers, vendors, partners, and strategic stakeholders. Develop practical contract solutions that support business growth while protecting the Company's interests. - Mergers, Acquisitions & Strategic Transactions: Provide legal leadership for mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions, including due diligence, structuring, negotiations, documentation, and integration support. - Intellectual Property: Oversee the protection, enforcement, and strategic management of the Company's intellectual property portfolio, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and licensing. - Executive Partnership: Build trusted relationships across the enterprise by serving as a strategic advisor to executive leaders and cross-functional partners. Translate complex legal matters into practical business recommendations that support enterprise decision-making. - Leadership & Organizational Capability: Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing legal organization capable of supporting the Company's evolving business needs. Evaluate organizational capability, succession planning, and long-term legal talent requirements. Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and ethical leadership. - Ethics & Corporate Responsibility: Champion a culture of integrity, compliance, and ethical decision-making across the organization. - External Relations: Represent the Company with regulatory agencies, government officials, industry organizations, external legal counsel, and strategic partners. Serve as an ambassador for PBI Gordon Companies, strengthening the Company's reputation through professionalism, integrity, and sound judgment. - Safety Responsibilities: Follow all company safety policies and procedures. Participate in required safety training. Report unsafe conditions, near misses, and incidents promptly. We'll put these as list items. Requirements: Education: Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school and active admission to the applicable state bar. Experience: 15+ years of progressive legal leadership experience within a corporate or business environment. We could put these under Requirements section as list. Qualifications: maybe same as Required Qualifications? The posting has "Required Qualifications" then "Education", "Experience". Then "Skills & Abilities". So we could have Requirements (Education+Experience) and Qualifications maybe not needed; but we have a heading Qualifications allowed. Could put Skills & Abilities under Skills section. Qualifications maybe we could omit if redundant. But we need to follow instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for Skills & Abilities, so we can make Skills section. For Qualifications, we could treat Required Qualifications as Qualifications section (Education+Experience). But we already have Requirements for that. Might be duplication. Better to follow the allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can assign: - About the role: Position Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: Education and Experience. - Qualifications: maybe we could put "Demonstrated success advising CEOs, Executive Leadership Teams, and Boards of Directors." etc? Actually those are under Skills & Abilities. But Qualifications could be things like "Demonstrated success advising CEOs..." etc. However the posting separates Skills & Abilities. So we could put Qualifications as empty? Better to not include Qualifications if no distinct content. But we have content under Skills & Abilities; we can put that under Skills section. So we will omit Qualifications heading. - Skills: list of skills & abilities. - Benefits: list of benefits details. - Pay: statement about competitive base salary with performance-based bonus opportunity. - Schedule: omit. We must not include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity Employer, Ready to Apply?, etc. Also remove the note about interns etc. Also remove the "William Everett & Mary Ellen Mealman Scholarship Fund" etc? That's part of benefits; we should keep it as it's substantive benefit info. Keep all benefits details. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all benefit items: ESOP, 401k, medical, dental, vision, life, disability, FSA, pet insurance, paid holidays & PTO, parental leave, fitness reimbursement, tuition reimbursement, scholarship fund. Also note about eligibility: full-time employees 30+ hours, eligibility start date, etc. Also note about ESOP vesting schedule, 401k match details. Also note about employee assistance program, etc. Also note about safety responsibilities? That's under duties. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same sentences. Now craft HTML. We'll start with a

  for Reports to: CEO and Position Summary? Actually About the role should contain the position summary. We'll include a short

  for Reports to: CEO maybe as metadata before About the role? The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can add a

  Reports to: CEO

  before the sections. Then

  About the role
