Hybrid$59k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Purpose, Description, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, etc. Also Hiring Range Minimum and Maximum (Pay). Schedule: Hybrid schedule with opportunity to be remote. Benefits? Not explicitly listed; maybe not. We should include sections only if real content. We need headings:

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide which sections to include. We have: - Position Purpose: description of role. Could be "About the role". - Description: includes Key Accountabilities with percentages. Those are responsibilities/duties. Could be "Responsibilities". - Required Qualifications - Education and Yrs Exp: Bachelors or equivalent. That's qualifications. - Required Qualifications - Skills, Knowledge And Abilities: list of skills. Could be "Skills". - Preferred Qualifications: list. Could be "Qualifications" (or maybe combine Required and Preferred under Qualifications). But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include. We have: - About the role: Position Purpose paragraph. - Responsibilities: Key Accountabilities (list with percentages). Could be a list. - Requirements: maybe Education and Yrs Exp (Bachelors). Could be under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or we could put Required Qualifications under Requirements and Preferred under Qualifications. Or combine. - Skills: Required Qualifications - Skills, Knowledge And Abilities. - Pay: Hiring Range Minimum $59,300 Maximum $74,200. - Schedule: Hybrid schedule with opportunity to be remote for the right candidate. Also Scheduled Hours per Week 40, Scheduled Months per Year 12. So we can include schedule details. - Benefits: Not explicitly listed; maybe not include. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we omit Benefits if not present. We need to preserve all substantive info: include hiring range, schedule details, location? Location is Hanover, NH 03755 7 Lebanon Street Suite 203. Should we include location? Not a heading but could be in About the role paragraph or maybe as a separate paragraph. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include location somewhere. Could be in About the role paragraph. Also include Position Purpose paragraph. Also include "Hybrid schedule with the opportunity to be remote for the right candidate" and also "Scheduled Months per Year 12", "Scheduled Hours per Week 40". Also "Location of Position Hanover, NH 03755 7 Lebanon Street Suite 203". Also "Remote Work Eligibility? Hybrid". Also "Is this a term position? No". etc. Many metadata like Position Number, Posting date, Closing date, Union Type, SEIU Level, FLSA Status, Employment Category, etc. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like Posting date, Position Number, etc. But we need to decide what's minor metadata. Likely we can drop many like Posting date, Closing date, Position Number, Union Type, SEIU Level, FLSA Status, Employment Category, etc. But we must preserve ALL substantive information. Are those substantive? Probably not essential to the role description; they are administrative. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with some of them, but we could also drop them entirely. Safer to include a short paragraph with key metadata: Position Number, Posting date, Location, Schedule, Pay, etc. But we already have sections for Pay and Schedule. Location could be in About the role. We need to avoid duplication: there are repeated lines like Department Contact for Recruitment Inquiries etc. That's contact info; maybe we can include as a short paragraph. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to remove the Equal Opportunity Employer paragraph, Background Check, Special Instructions to Applicants, etc. Thus final HTML will have sections: About the role (p), Responsibilities (ul li), Requirements (p maybe), Qualifications (p maybe), Skills (ul li), Pay (p), Schedule (p). Possibly also a small meta paragraph. Let's extract content: About the role: Position Purpose paragraph: "Dartmouth’s Total Rewards team is hiring a Benefits Specialist to work across our Health & Welfare programs. The role owns leave-of-absence administration, shares responsibility for Open Enrollment execution, and advises employees and managers on medical, dental, vision, and retiree benefits. It suits someone who wants real depth in more than one area of benefits administration and is comfortable being a resource that employees and colleagues rely on. We’re a small team, and cross-coverage is part of how we work. You’ll interpret plan documents, policies, and federal and state regulations to make eligibility and coverage determinations, resolve non-routine cases, and become someone employees can count on for a clear, accurate answer." That's the prose. Responsibilities: Key Accountabilities with percentages: - Leave Administration: Manage leave-of-absence cases: determine eligibility under FMLA, state leave law, and STD/LTD plan terms; designate and track leave; coordinate the ADA interactive process with HR Business Partners; advise managers on their obligations; and resolve non-standard cases. (25%) - Open Enrollment Execution: Plan and manage Open Enrollment execution with the Health & Welfare lead: develop the testing approach, resolve enrollment exceptions, decide what escalates, and recommend changes to materials and communications based on employee questions and errors. (25%) - Benefits Advising & Issue Resolution: Interpret plan provisions and Dartmouth policy to resolve complex and escalated medical, dental, vision, and retiree benefit questions. Determine handling of exceptions and appeals. Serve as a point of contact with carriers and administrators to resolve claims and eligibility issues on employees’ behalf. Identify recurring issues and recommend process, system, or communication changes. (30%) - Compliance & Process Ownership: Maintain current knowledge of federal and state regulations and Dartmouth policy affecting benefits administration, and recommend policy and procedure updates as regulations change. Represent Total Rewards on cross-functional projects. Partner with Benefits colleagues, HR, vendors, and campus departments to keep processes consistent and well-documented. (20%) Also "Demonstrates professionalism and collegiality through actions, interactions, and communications with others appropriate to an environment that is welcoming to all. Performs other duties as assigned." Could be included as a responsibility bullet. We'll make each as

  • with the description and maybe include percentage in parentheses. Requirements: Education and Yrs Exp: "Bachelors or equivalent combination of education and experience". Could be a short p. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list: - Direct experience with leave-of-absence case administration - Experience supporting open enrollment logistics or benefits communications - Working knowledge of retiree health benefits, Medicare, and coordination of benefits - Prior experience with bswift or a comparable benefits administration platform - Experience in higher education or another complex, multi-constituency benefits environment We'll put as
    • . Skills: Required Qualifications - Skills, Knowledge And Abilities list: - 2–4 years of benefits or HR service-delivery experience; experience spanning more than one program area (leave administration, health & welfare, retiree benefits, or wellness) is a strong plus - Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with strong customer-service instincts as a front line point of contact - Working knowledge of FMLA, ADA, and related leave regulations - Demonstrated ability to interpret plan documents and regulations and make eligibility determinations independently - Working knowledge of self-insured and fully insured benefit plan operations - Strong organizational skills with close attention to detail - Proficiency with HRIS / HRMS systems and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access); ability to learn new systems quickly - Ability to maintain confidentiality and comply with HIPAA - Demonstrated ability to manage multiple, competing priorities across more than one program area We'll put as
      • . Pay: Hiring Range Minimum $59,300 Hiring Range Maximum $74,200. Could be a p: "Pay range: $59,300 – $74,200." Schedule: Hybrid schedule with opportunity to be remote for the right candidate; Scheduled Hours per Week 40; Scheduled Months per Year 12. Could be p: "Schedule: Hybrid (with remote eligibility), 40 hours per week, 12 months per year." Location: Could be included in About the role or a separate p. Let's add a short p after About the role: "Location: Hanover, NH 03755, 7 Lebanon Street, Suite 203." We might also include contact info: Department Contact for Recruitment Inquiries Kelli Ritter, Phone 603-646-3773. Could be a short p. But we need to avoid duplication: there are two lines for Department Contact for Recruitment Inquiries and Department Contact for Cover Letter and Title, both same. We'll include once. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity, Background Check, Tobacco-Free Policy, Special Instructions, Quick Link, etc. Now produce HTML fragment:
