Claims Counsel, Management Liability

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No filler. Must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, recruiting vendor disclosure, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse content: The posting includes: - Intro: "Built on meritocracy... Brown & Brown is seeking a Claims Counsel, Management Liability to join our growing team! The Claims Counsel's primary function is to independently manage a portfolio of complex Management Liability claims, including Directors & Officers Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Fiduciary Liability, Crime, and related financial lines claims involving private companies and nonprofit organizations. The successful candidate will work closely with underwriting, carrier partners, brokers, insureds, and defense counsel to deliver superior claims outcomes while supporting the strategic growth of Nexus's Management Liability portfolio. This role requires deep technical expertise, sound business judgment, strong relationship management skills, and the ability to balance legal, coverage, financial, customer service, and portfolio considerations in claims decision-making." That's about the role. Then "How You Will Contribute:" with subheadings: Claims Management and Coverage Analysis, Litigation Management, Portfolio and Business Partnership, Broker and Market Engagement, Leadership and Operational Excellence. Those are responsibilities. Then "Skills & Experience to be Successful:" list of requirements: JD, bar, 7-10 years experience, expertise, etc. Also "Preferred Experience..." etc. Then "Pay Range $150,000 - $160,000 Annual" plus note. Then "Teammate Benefits & Total Well-Being" with bullet list. We need to produce sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (the "How You Will Contribute" sections). Requirements (maybe combine Skills & Experience to be Successful and Preferred Experience?). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Skills & Experience), Benefits, Pay. No Schedule info. No Qualifications separate? Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we should not create empty sections. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Skills & Experience), Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Skills? The Skills & Experience to be Successful includes both skills and experience. Could treat as Requirements. We'll not duplicate. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, recruiting vendor disclosure, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to ensure we keep all details: The bullet points under each responsibility section need to be captured. Let's extract details. About the role paragraph: We'll combine the intro sentences into a paragraph. Responsibilities: Under "How You Will Contribute:" there are five subsections each with bullet-like sentences (some are sentences). We need to turn each duty into

• . We'll need to parse each bullet.

Preferred Experience (maybe also part of Requirements but we can include as part of Requirements or separate? The instruction says include a section only when posting has real specific content. We have preferred experience content. Could include under Requirements or maybe a separate "Preferred Qualifications" but not in list of allowed headings. Allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put preferred experience under Requirements or Skills. Since we already have Requirements, we can include preferred experience as part of Requirements (maybe as additional bullet points). We'll keep them. Preferred Experience bullet points: - Experience handling claims involving private equity-backed, venture-backed, founder-led, or closely held organizations. - Experience within an MGA, specialty insurer, E&S carrier, or Management Liability insurance carrier. - Experience operating under delegated claims authority. - Experience presenting claims trends, portfolio analytics, and emerging risks to senior management, underwriters, brokers, and carrier partners. - CPCU, RPLU, SCLA, ARC, or similar industry designation. Now Benefits: "Teammate Benefits & Total Well-Being" includes bullet list: - Health Benefits: Medical/Rx, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance - Financial Benefits: ESPP; 401k; Student Loan Assistance; Tuition Reimbursement - Mental Health & Wellness: Free Mental Health & Enhanced Advocacy Services - Beyond Benefits: Paid Time Off, Holidays, Preferred Partner Discounts and more. - Note: Not reflective of all benefits. Enrollment waiting periods or eligibility criteria may apply to certain benefits. Benefit details and offerings may vary for subsidiary entities or in specific geographic locations. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include those bullet points. The note about not reflective etc is also substantive? It's a disclaimer but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about benefits details; we should keep it as part of benefits section maybe as a paragraph. Pay: "Pay Range $150,000 - $160,000 Annual The pay range provided above is made in good faith and based on our lowest and highest annual salary or hourly rate paid for the role and takes into account years of experience required, geography, and/or budget for the role." We need to include that as a paragraph under Pay section. Schedule: No info, so omit. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

  About the role

  ...

  Responsibilities

  • ...
  ...
  But we have multiple subcategories; we could keep them as separate
  under each subheading? The instruction says use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested headings inside responsibilities. We could keep subheadings as

    ? Not allowed; only h3 for section headings. But we could keep responsibilities as a single list with all duties. However that may lose grouping but still preserves all info. The instruction: "Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". It doesn't say we cannot have multiple lists. We could have multiple
      each preceded by a

      describing the category? But we cannot add extra headings not in allowed list. We could add a

      before each list describing the category. That's acceptable. Thus under Responsibilities we can have:

      Claims Management and Coverage Analysis

      ...

      Litigation Management

      ...
      etc. That preserves info. Similarly for Requirements we can have a single list or split into required and preferred. We'll do a single list with all bullets (including preferred). Or we could split with

      Required Experience

      etc. That's okay. For Benefits we can have

      Health Benefits

      ... etc. We'll need to preserve the note about benefits as a paragraph. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Not reflective of all benefits." That's substantive? It's a disclaimer but still part of benefits description. We'll keep. Now produce HTML. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: Combine sentences: "Built on meritocracy, our unique company culture rewards self-starters and those who are committed to doing what is best for our customers. Brown & Brown is seeking a Claims Counsel, Management Liability to join our growing team! The Claims Counsel's primary function is to independently manage a portfolio of complex Management Liability claims, including Directors & Officers Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Fiduciary Liability, Crime, and related financial lines claims involving private companies and nonprofit organizations. The successful candidate will work closely with underwriting, carrier partners, brokers, insureds, and defense counsel to deliver superior claims outcomes while supporting the strategic growth of Nexus's Management Liability portfolio. This role requires deep technical expertise, sound business judgment, strong relationship management skills, and the ability to balance legal, coverage, financial, customer service, and portfolio considerations in claims decision-making." That's fine. Now Responsibilities sections. We'll produce:

      Responsibilities

      Claims Management and Coverage Analysis

      • Independently manage a portfolio of complex and high-severity Management Liability claims.
