On-siteAnalyst$25/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have posting: Internship: Catastrophe Research & Development, Location: Edina, MN, Salary: $25/hr + overtime, Deadline to apply: Friday 16th October. We need to parse content. Sections: - About the role: The introduction paragraph(s) describing role. The "Introduction" paragraph: "Working with our reinsurance team in North America you’ll learn more about applying business analytics, ML/AI, and creative data visualization to tackle complex problems for clients and the insurance industry as a whole, risk mitigation solutions and doing real work for Howden Re's current and prospective clients." That's about role. - Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What you’ll be doing" and day-to-day tasks. We need to extract each duty. List: - Assist in analysis projects under guidance of senior catastrophe modelers. - Gather, organize and review data relevant to catastrophe model validation. - Perform analyses to extract data sets that can be used to calculate the client's risk exposure. - Assist senior R&D team members in preparing and formatting summaries, presentations, and reports in order to convey potential risk and loss results for clients. - Research and summarize industry publications and scientific papers of specific or regional perils in order to provide additional sources of information used for analyses and client reports. Also maybe "On a day-to-day basis you’ll:" preceding list. - Requirements: The "Who we’re looking for" paragraph includes bullet list of requirements: "You’ll be working towards a Bachelor’s or advanced degree in in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Meteorology, or similar analytical / science major." Then bullet list of "You will:" items. But we need to separate Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide what content goes where. We have: - Requirements: maybe the degree requirement, GPA, graduation date, legal authorization. - Qualifications: maybe the specific skills like Excel, Word, PowerPoint, ability to work independently/team, attention to detail, organization. - Skills: maybe communication, multitasking, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But headings are prescribed; we can include only those with real content. We could include Requirements (degree, GPA, graduation date, legal auth) and Skills (Excel, communication, multitasking, attention to detail, organization). Qualifications maybe not needed if overlapping. Let's extract specifics: From "Who we’re looking for": Paragraph: "You’ll be working towards a Bachelor’s or advanced degree in in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Meteorology, or similar analytical / science major. You’ll be able to clearly communicate your thoughts and ideas both in writing and in person. And be able to handle multiple tasks and projects at the same time in a client service, deadline-driven environment." Then bullet list "You will:": - Be actively pursuing a Bachelor’s degree or advanced degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Meteorology, or similar analytical / science major - Graduate in December 2027 or by June 2028 - Have a GPA of 3.5+ - Have a high achieving academic record in program major and summer internships or other work experience - Be proficient in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint - Possess the ability to work independently or within a team based on work demands - Pay close attention to detail, because every small detail matters - Have a keen ability to organize - Legally authorized to work in the US Thus we have many items. We could categorize: - Requirements: degree pursuit, graduation date, GPA, legal authorization. - Qualifications: high achieving academic record (maybe redundant), proficiency in Excel/Word/PowerPoint. - Skills: communication, multitasking, independent/team work, attention to detail, organization. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Section "Requirements": degree pursuit, graduation date, GPA, legally authorized to work in US. Section "Skills": proficiency in Excel, Word, PowerPoint; ability to communicate clearly; ability to handle multiple tasks/projects; ability to work independently or within a team; attention to detail; keen ability to organize. Section "Qualifications": high achieving academic record in program major and summer internships or other work experience. But "high achieving academic record" could be considered a qualification. We also have Benefits: The "What we offer:" paragraph: "A career that you define. We provide an environment where new ideas are encouraged and celebrated, where people who want to have a real hand in our success thrive. We want people who want to make a difference - not just in the workplace, but in the industry and in the wider community." Also later "Working at Howden Re:" paragraph describing mission etc. That's more about company culture, not specific benefits like health insurance, etc. The instructions: include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. The posting does mention "What we offer:" but it's vague, not specific benefits like health, retirement, etc. It's more about culture. Might be considered benefits? The instruction says: never create Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "What we offer:" which is a benefits-ish section. However the content is vague but still substantive? It says "A career that you define. We provide an environment where new ideas are encouraged and celebrated, where people who want to have a real hand in our success thrive. We want people who want to make a difference - not just in the workplace, but in the industry and in the wider community." That's somewhat generic but still specific to the company. I'd include Benefits section with that paragraph. Pay: Salary: $25/hr + overtime. That's specific. So include Pay section. Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit Schedule. Location: Could be included in About the role? Could be a short paragraph with location and deadline. The instructions: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include location and deadline in a short

maybe under About the role or separate? Probably include in About the role as a short paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Thus structure:

About the role

Working with our reinsurance team in North America you’ll learn more about applying business analytics, ML/AI, and creative data visualization to tackle complex problems for clients and the insurance industry as a whole, risk mitigation solutions and doing real work for Howden Re's current and prospective clients.

But we already have Pay section separate; maybe we shouldn't duplicate salary in About the role. Better to keep About the role just the intro paragraph, and location/deadline maybe as a short paragraph after? But we can include location and deadline in About the role as minor metadata. However we have Pay section separate for salary; we should not repeat salary there. So About the role: include location and deadline maybe. Let's craft:

We should not include Schedule. Check for any boilerplate: We removed EEO, legal, etc. Also removed "Different perspectives make us better" etc. That's EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate; remove. Also removed "What we offer:" we kept as Benefits. Also removed "Working at Howden Re:" paragraph? That is more about company culture; maybe could be part of Benefits? But we already have Benefits with the "What we offer:" paragraph. The "Working at Howden Re:" paragraph is also generic but could be considered Benefits? It's more about mission. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not standard EEO but still generic. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Working at Howden Re:" is not exactly EEO but could be considered company description; but it's not a specific benefit. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not duplicated. However it's not a specific benefit like health insurance etc. The instruction says: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The "Working at Howden Re:" paragraph is somewhat generic but still specific to Howden Re's mission. Could be considered part of About the role? But we already have About the role. Might be better to incorporate into About the role as additional description. However we must not repeat content. We could add a second paragraph under About the role after the intro. Let's see: The "Working at Howden Re:" paragraph: "At Howden Re, we’re on a mission to do things differently. Our no silo approach, elite team, and clear focus on innovation and relentless execution means our clients are at the heart of all we do.As a big 4 global reinsurance broker, we deliberately avoid the one-size-fits-all approach, committing to creating bespoke solutions that address the unique challenges of a modern and dynamic marketplace.
