Actuarial Associate 2 - Experience Analysis

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. Key content: - "What You Can Expect In This Role": description about level, tasks. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? The posting includes "What You Can Expect In This Role" and "What You'll Do In This Role". So we can combine into "Responsibilities" or "About the role". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to use. We have content about responsibilities: "Accurately and efficiently perform the technical actuarial tasks..." and "What You'll Do In This Role" bullet list of duties. We have "What We're Looking For": education, experience, skills, etc. That could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Also "Other Requirements" includes criminal background check etc. We have "Salary Range Information": pay details. We have benefits: "What you can expect when you join Sammons Financial Group" includes health coverage, ESOP, 401(k), work-life balance, etc. We have schedule: maybe not explicit; but there is "Friday afternoons off year-round" indicates schedule. Could be a Schedule section. We have no explicit "Skills" separate; but skills are in requirements. We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO, E-Verify, etc. Also remove "Work Authorization/Sponsorship", "Additional Information", etc. We must preserve all substantive info. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading (not given). No Job ID. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content; avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". We have salary range specifics, so Pay section is valid. Schedule: we have "Friday afternoons off year-round" plus maybe "generous paid time off, and paid holidays." That's more benefits; schedule could be "Friday afternoons off year-round". We'll include Schedule section with that. Benefits: health coverage, ESOP, 401(k), paid time off, paid holidays, volunteer time off, nonprofit matching gift program, tuition reimbursement, professional development, etc. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract sections: About the role: maybe short paragraph: "This position may be filled at the Associate 1 or 2 level, based on skills, experience, and alignment to the role’s scope as evaluated through our structured selection process. Accurately and efficiently perform the technical actuarial tasks related to this role. This may include assisting with modeling, data analytics, product development and/or financial reporting for Sammons Financial Group Company's (Sammons Financial Group) products. Provide technical guidance as directed." That's prose. Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You'll Do In This Role". That's a long list; we can turn each sentence into

• . Could group but okay. Requirements/Qualifications: "What We're Looking For" includes Bachelor's Degree preferably in mathematics or business related field; 3-5 years' Experience in Actuarial Science; demonstrate high level of mathematical ability, attention to detail, strong analytical skills; strong computer skills; strong written and verbal communication; basic knowledge of insurance industry; ability to analyze problems; ability to work individually and as part of team; highly organized; ability to work effectively in office environment; must have passed minimum of three SOA exams; continued pursuit of actuarial designation. Also "Other Requirements": Criminal background check required; if position in SIG business unit etc fingerprinting; credit check if securities licenses; management reserves right to determine suitability. We could combine into Requirements section. Skills: maybe separate but we already have skills in requirements; but we could still have Skills section highlighting: mathematical ability, attention to detail, analytical skills, computer skills, communication skills, etc. However to avoid duplication, we could put skills under Requirements. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section, maybe "Qualifications". Or "Requirements". Let's choose "Qualifications". We'll include education, experience, exams, skills, other requirements. Pay: Salary Range Information: USD $85,577.00 - USD $142,628.00 /Yr. Also details about leveling, base salary ranges for Associate 1 and 2, etc. We'll include that. Benefits: "What you can expect when you join Sammons Financial Group" paragraph listing benefits. Schedule: "Friday afternoons off year-round" maybe also "generous paid time off, and paid holidays." But those are benefits; schedule could be just Friday afternoons off. We'll include Schedule section with that. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, E-Verify, Work Authorization, etc. Now produce HTML:
