Commercial Lines Associate Account Manager
North Risk Partners · Sioux Falls, SD · 1 mo ago
$23.32–$28.5/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting has sections: WHY NORTH RISK PARTNERS (maybe About the role), Job Summary, Essential Responsibilities (Phase 1-3), Requirements (Qualifications, Behavior Expectations, Physical Requirements, Tools and Equipment Used, Work Environment), Compensation And Benefits.
We must use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we need to map content accordingly. The instruction: "use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we need to map content accordingly. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID etc.
We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have content about the company and role: "WHY NORTH RISK PARTNERS" could map to About the role. Job Summary could be part of About the role or separate? Probably About the role includes description of company and role.
Responsibilities: we have Essential Responsibilities (Phase 1-3). So we can put that under Responsibilities.
Requirements: we have Requirements section with subparts: QUALIFICATIONS (Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities), BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS, Physical Requirements, TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT USED, WORK ENVIRONMENT. We could map to Requirements heading, and inside we could have subheadings? But only allowed headings are h3 for those specific section names. We could still use
for prose and
- for lists. We could embed subheadings as maybe but not required. The instruction only says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow that. Probably we should only use those headings as top-level sections. Inside we can use
and
- .
We need Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Compensation And Benefits: hourly range $23.32 - $28.50 hourly, plus benefits. It mentions benefits package: health, dental, vision, short-term and long-term disability, life, long-term care, 401(k), continuing professional education, volunteer time off, paid time off, paid holidays. So we have Pay (hourly range) and Benefits (list). No explicit schedule mentioned besides full-time, flexible schedule including overtime, nights, weekends. That could be Schedule. The posting says "Able to work a flexible work schedule, including overtime, nights, and weekends to attend events and meetings as needed." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We also have Qualifications and Skills maybe separate? The posting has QUALIFICATIONS (Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities) and BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS. Could map Qualifications and Skills as separate sections? The instruction list includes Qualifications, Skills as possible headings. We could split: Qualifications (education, license, experience) and Skills (customer service, prioritization, time management, etc). But we need to avoid filler. We'll decide to include Qualifications and Skills sections.
We also have Requirements heading; maybe we can use Requirements as a parent and inside have Qualifications and Skills subsections? But we cannot use other headings besides those listed? Not strictly prohibited but better to follow. Could do:
- . Could group by phases but still list items.

Requirements
then inside we havefor behavior expectations etc. But we also have Qualifications and Skills as separate headings; maybe we should use them instead of Requirements. The instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we can use any of those as needed. So we can choose which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We might not need a generic Requirements heading if we split into Qualifications and Skills. But we also have Behavior Expectations, Physical Requirements, Tools, Work Environment. Those could go under Skills or Qualifications? Might be better to have a Requirements section that includes those subpoints as paragraphs/lists. However we already have Qualifications and Skills headings; we could place behavior expectations under Skills, physical requirements under Qualifications? Not ideal. Alternative: Use Requirements heading for the whole block, and inside we can have subheadings like but not h3. That might be acceptable. The instruction only mandates using h3 for section headings; it doesn't forbid other markup like or
. So we can do:
About the role
