We need to output only HTML fragment, with sections for headings where there is real content. Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
The posting includes:
- Company Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is about company, not role. Could be "About the role"? The instruction: use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
The posting includes:
- Company Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is about company, not role. Could be "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map sections accordingly.
We have:
- Position Summary (description of role) -> could be "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities"? Actually responsibilities are listed under Essential Functions. So we can have "About the role" as a short paragraph summarizing the role.
- Essential Functions broken into Production, Underwriting & Risk Management (50%), Business Development & Distribution Management (40%), Leadership & Strategic Influence (10%). Those are responsibilities. So we can put them under a Responsibilities
with a - list.
- Qualifications: includes Education & Experience Required bullet list. That's qualifications. So
Qualifications
with list.
- Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications: strong negotiation, relationship management, business development skills, excellent analytical, communication, presentation abilities, ability to work independently and collaborate. Could be a Skills section. But we could also incorporate into Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. But we have a separate "Skills" heading possible. However we have explicit list of skills in qualifications. Could create a Skills section with those items. But we need to avoid thin sections. Might be better to have Qualifications (including education/experience) and Skills separate? Let's see.
We also have Pay: SALARY range $175,000 to $215,000 per year. So we need a Pay section.
Benefits: Additional Benefits Healthcare and Retirement Benefits, Additional Benefit Programs. So we need Benefits section.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule section.
Also we have "About the role" maybe we can include a short paragraph from Position Summary and Company Overview? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The page already shows it. So we can have About the role as a paragraph summarizing role.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal. At end there is EEO statement; we should drop that.
Also drop the line: "It's an exciting time for our company and a great opportunity to join a financially sound and growing global insurance group!" That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered fluff; but it's substantive? It's a statement about excitement; we could keep it as part of About the role? Might be considered filler but not disallowed. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That line is not boilerplate; it's a motivational statement. Could keep.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:
