ERISA Analyst
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should only include sections when there is real specific content. No Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless present. The posting does not mention pay, schedule, benefits. So we should not include those headings.
We need to include sections like About the role (maybe from Position Summary), Responsibilities (Job Functions etc.), Requirements (Experience, Skills, Knowledge Requirements), Qualifications (maybe Technical Expertise Designations/Certifications/Exams, Degrees), Skills (maybe separate). But we must not duplicate content. We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some fraud warning at end: "Be aware of employment fraud..." That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "Learn more at FuturePlan.com." maybe keep? It's part of description but not essential? It's substantive? It's a link; maybe keep as part of About the role? It's not boilerplate; it's a reference. Could keep.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could contain the Position Summary paragraph and maybe the company description. Use
.
- Responsibilities: list of duties from Job Functions etc. Use
- .
- Requirements: maybe combine Experience, Skills, Knowledge Requirements, plus Technical Expertise Designations/Certifications/Exams, Degrees, etc. Could be separate sections: Qualifications and Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But spec says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include multiple if they have content.
We need to decide what goes where.
Position Summary: "Primary responsibilities include providing correction services to Ascensus and FuturePlan clients through IRS and DOL correction programs, completing Microsoft Excel calculations for clients, audit and deliver correction packets for clients, providing in-house and external consulting to clients, technical research, analysis and special projects as assigned."
That's responsibilities.
Job Functions list many items: Consulting, Training, Course Development, Document Reviews, Forms, Business Unit Policies and Procedures, Fee-for-Service Engagements, Special Projects, Research, Technical Writing, Legislation, Regulatory and Judicial Review, Technical Knowledge, Industry Knowledge, Continuing Education, SLAs, Miscellaneous.
We can put those under Responsibilities as list items.
Then Experience, Skills, Knowledge Requirements section: includes bullet-like sentences: "Special Consideration given for Microsoft Excel proficiencies, knowledge with core code logic and system architecture for BOT tool creations and enhancements (e.g., tool to run DOL calculator instead of manual entry), and knowledge of both Ascensus and FuturePlan internal tools and programs (e.g., ARK, Salesforce, AXIS)." Then "Technical Expertise Designations/Certifications/Exams – ASPPA designations preferred. Not all mandatory, but some include but are not limited to, QKA, QKS, QKC, QPA, CPC, QP3". Then "Degrees - Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, accounting, or a related field. Special consideration given to CPA, MBA, JD or PMP." Then "Industry Experience – Special consideration given to Ascensus experience or industry experience". Then "Core Values & I-Client - Consistently display and model the Ascensus core values and I-Client philosophy." Then "Software Applications - Demonstrate intermediate proficiency in Outlook and MS Office software applications, specifically Excel, Word, Power Point, Teams." Then "Skills - Demonstrate excellent client service, excellent interpersonal skills, professional demeanor and positive attitude skills. Demonstrate strong organizational and time management skills. Accomplish detail-oriented tasks within given timeframes and standards. Ability to prioritize and complete multiple tasks. Demonstrate excellent analytical and problem-solving skills. Demonstrate sound business judgment and risk-taking skills, strong written and oral communication skills and strong seminar training and presentation skills."
We could split: Requirements (education, experience, certifications) and Skills (soft skills, technical skills). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? But we can follow typical: Requirements = education, experience, certifications; Skills = technical and soft skills.
Thus sections:
- About the role: company description + Position Summary? Could be two paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (Job Functions).
- Requirements: education, experience, certifications, core values, software applications.
- Skills: client service, interpersonal, organizational, analytical, etc.
We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we must not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: the fraud warning at end, also maybe "Learn more at FuturePlan.com." is not boilerplate; keep.
Also "All email communications from Ascensus or its hiring managers originate from @ascensus.com or @futureplan.com email addresses. We will never ask you for payment or require you to purchase any equipment. If you are suspicious or unsure about validity of a job posting, we strongly encourage you to apply directly through our website." That's boilerplate (scam warning). Remove.

for Position Summary inside Responsibilities? Or we could keep About the role as company description only, and Responsibilities start with Position Summary paragraph then list.
