Deputy Director, Tort Unit

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about NYC Comptroller's Office, BLA, etc. That's "About the role" maybe. - Then "Responsibilities" heading appears in text: "Responsibilities The Deputy Director, Tort Unit reports directly to the Director, Tort Unit..." So we have responsibilities content. - Then "EXECUTIVE AGENCY COUNSEL - 95005" maybe job title? Actually the posting title is "EXECUTIVE AGENCY COUNSEL - 95005". The page already shows job title, we must not repeat as heading. - Then "Minimum Qualifications" heading appears: "Minimum Qualifications Admission to the New York State Bar; and four years of recent full-time responsible, relevant, satisfactory legal experience subsequent to admission to any bar, eighteen months of which must have been in the supervision of other attorneys, in an administrative, managerial or executive capacity, or performing highly complex and significant legal work. Incumbents must remain Members of the New York State Bar in good standing for the duration of this employment." - Then "Preferred Skills" heading appears: "Preferred Skills Extensive legal experience that includes assessing all aspects of tort litigation and adjusting personal injury claims - 3+ years of supervisory experience, supervising attorneys or other professional staff - Strong management skills - Exceptional writing and verbal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to perform multiple tasks that require prioritization - Solid analytical and negotiation skills - Demonstrated proficiency in drafting clear, concise, and accurate memoranda - Excellent interpersonal and organization skills, with a demonstrated ability to interact professionally and effectively with all levels of management, government officials, attorneys, and the public - Fundamental understanding of the relationship between the Comptroller’s Office and the Law Department with respect to claims and lawsuits." - Then "Public Service Loan Forgiveness" paragraph: mention eligibility, link. - Then "Residency Requirement New York City Residency is not required for this position" - Then "Additional Information" paragraph about EEO etc. (should be removed as boilerplate). We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the EEO paragraph. - Then at end: ", $140,000.00 – $150,000.00" appears after Additional Information? Actually after Additional Information there is a comma then salary range. So we have Pay info: $140,000 – $150,000. We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes we have salary range. We need Benefits? Not mentioned besides Public Service Loan Forgiveness (which is a benefit). Could include Benefits section with that info. Also maybe mention residency requirement? That's not a benefit. Could include Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility. Also maybe mention that NYC residency not required? That's more a requirement. Could be in Requirements? But we have Requirements section maybe for qualifications? Actually we have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Skills. According to rules, we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what to put where. - About the role: intro paragraph describing office and BLA. - Responsibilities: the list of duties under "Responsibilities". Should be

• . - Requirements: maybe include residency requirement? Or maybe we treat Minimum Qualifications as Requirements? The rules say we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate. Usually Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Qualifications = preferred? But we have Minimum Qualifications (mandatory) and Preferred Skills (preferred). So we can put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements (or Qualifications). Let's follow: Requirements = mandatory qualifications. Qualifications = preferred skills? Or we could have Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Skills = Preferred Skills. But we also have Skills section for skills. The posting includes "Preferred Skills" which includes both skills and experience. Could treat as Skills section. Thus: - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (admission to NY bar, 4 years experience, 18 months supervisory, remain in good standing). - Skills: Preferred Skills list (extensive legal experience, supervisory experience, management skills, writing, analytical, negotiation, drafting, interpersonal, understanding relationship). - Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility (maybe also note that NYC residency not required? That's not a benefit). Could also include that residency not required as a note but not benefit. We'll keep Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness. - Pay: salary range $140,000 – $150,000. - Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We also need to include any other info like "Residency Requirement New York City Residency is not required for this position". That could be placed under Requirements as a note? But it's not a qualification; it's a requirement about residency. Could be included in Requirements as a bullet. But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could add a short paragraph under Requirements about residency not required. Or we could add a separate section? Probably better to incorporate into Requirements as a note. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: e.g., "Admission to the New York State Bar; and four years of recent full-time responsible, relevant, satisfactory legal experience subsequent to admission to any bar, eighteen months of which must have been in the supervision of other attorneys, in an administrative, managerial or executive capacity, or performing highly complex and significant legal work. Incumbents must remain Members of the New York State Bar in good standing for the duration of this employment." We need to keep that exactly. For Preferred Skills list, we need to keep each bullet as separate
• . The list includes items separated by "-". We'll parse. Preferred Skills text: "Extensive legal experience that includes assessing all aspects of tort litigation and adjusting personal injury claims - 3+ years of supervisory experience, supervising attorneys or other professional staff - Strong management skills - Exceptional writing and verbal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to perform multiple tasks that require prioritization - Solid analytical and negotiation skills - Demonstrated proficiency in drafting clear, concise, and accurate memoranda - Excellent interpersonal and organization skills, with a demonstrated ability to interact professionally and effectively with all levels of management, government officials, attorneys, and the public - Fundamental understanding of the relationship between the Comptroller’s Office and the Law Department with respect to claims and lawsuits." We'll split on " - " (space dash space). Each bullet. Now Responsibilities: The paragraph after "Responsibilities The Deputy Director, Tort Unit reports directly to the Director, Tort Unit, under the general direction of the Assistant Comptroller for the Bureau of Law and Adjustment. Duties and responsibilities of the position include, but are not limited to the following:" then a list of duties separated by semicolons. We need to convert to
  • . We'll need to split by semicolons (;) but careful about internal semicolons? The list includes many items separated by semicolons. We'll just split by "; " and each becomes a
  • . Ensure we keep the content. Let's extract responsibilities text: "Advise and assist the Director in managing and directing all functions of the Tort Unit, including overseeing the day-to-day operations, and in the Director’s absence, perform the Director’s duties; Supervise all Tort Division Chiefs and Claim Examiners and ensure duties are performed in accordance with the highest professional standards; manage the pre-litigation settlement process of tort claims and the 50h process, ensure the proper handling of no-fault claims and affirmative property damage claims and managing claim support; Assist the Director in bureau-wide operational projects and managing the procurement of Bureau professional services such as the Statutory 50-h contract and the purchasing of those services; Monitor high-profile and high-exposure claims and perform legal research and draft memoranda on critical issues affecting pre-litigation claims; delegate within independent authority and with discretion, appropriate monetary settlement authority to Tort Division staff; Resolve claim payment issues including coordinating with Office of General Counsel on lien issues and serving as one of the principal liaisons between the Bureau of Law & Adjustment and the Office of Fiscal Services; assist in the managing of the Son of Sam process including coordinating with the NYS Office of Attorney General; Coordinating with the FOIL Officer, Press Office and Community Action Center to respond to requests for information which includes validation of reports and information; Identify trends and changes in municipal litigation, including recent case law developments, and provide relevant recommendations to the Director, Assistant Comptroller, and other executive staff; Assist BLA units in liability and damages evaluation; provide efficient and effective risk management assessment strategies and recommendations with respect to claims filed against various City agencies; Handle administrative matters, including but not limited to, data/technology, human resources, and any other administrative issues assigned by the Director; assist the Director in the annual staff evaluations in accordance with human resources protocol; develop and present professional development and legal training to new and existing staff; and, Perform all other duties as requested by the Director and Assistant Comptroller as needed." We need to keep the content exactly, but we can split into list items. Ensure we keep punctuation. Now About the role: The initial paragraph(s) before "Responsibilities". Let's capture: "The New York City Comptroller’s Office works to promote the financial health, integrity, and effectiveness of New York City government, in order to strengthen trust, secure a thriving future for all New Yorkers, and build a more just, equitable, and resilient city. Led by an independently elected citywide official, the comptroller’s office provides checks and balances needed to hold City government accountable for budgeting wisely, investing responsibly, operating efficiently, acting fairly, living up to its obligations and promises, and paying attention to the long-term challenges we face together. Authorized by the New York City Charter, the Comptroller, through the Bureau of Law and Adjustment (BLA), negotiates and approves all monetary settlement of claims and lawsuits involving the City of New York. BLA investigates and, when in the best interest of the city, settles pre-litigation claims for and against the City of New York. In resolving claims before litigation is commenced, BLA protects the fiscal interest of the City while ensuring that pre-litigation claims are resolved in a fair and just manner, and in accordance with applicable laws. BLA furthers this goal in its review, evaluation, and authorization of requests to settle litigated cases involving the City and through diligent administration of disputes arising out of City contracts. BLA manages City risk by holding agencies accountable, rooting out fraud, and identifying trends, as well as, coordinating with the Law Department and other City agencies on issues that impact the public fiscal and public safety." That's the about. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

    headings and

    or

    • . We should not include any extra text like "About the role" heading if we have content. We'll include. We need to avoid repeating job title. Not needed. We need to drop boilerplate: EEO paragraph, maybe also "Additional Information" line? Actually "Additional Information" preceded the EEO paragraph. We'll drop that as well. We also need to drop "Public Service Loan Forgiveness" maybe it's not boilerplate; it's a benefit. Keep. We need to drop "Residency Requirement New York City Residency is not required for this position" - keep as part of Requirements maybe. We need to drop the salary line at end? We'll keep as Pay. Now let's construct. Structure:

      About the role
