Inside Territory Manager - Midwest Region
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Intro: "We are Farmers – where ambition meets opportunity..." This is about company culture. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description. The intro is about company, maybe "About the role"? But we can treat as "About the role" maybe not. The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include sections that have content.
We have:
- Job Summary: description of role: manages portfolio, prospect and appoint new agencies, drive profitable premium growth, achieve financial and operational goals, develop and manage agency partnerships, primary relationship, develop and promote Foremost products/services, portfolio includes moderately complex accounts, could span multiple states and several hundred storefronts, individual contributor, moderate guidance, may be virtual/hybrid with limited field travel.
- Essential Job Functions: list of duties (multiple bullet-like sentences). We can turn into - .
- Physical Actions: description of physical requirements. Could be part of Requirements? Might be separate but we can include under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements (physical). But we have Education Requirements, Experience Requirements.
- Education Requirements: High School Diploma or equivalent required. Bachelors degree preferred. State insurance license preferred upon hire.
- Experience Requirements: Minimum three years of experience required in insurance distribution. Experience achieving profitable premium growth and sales success.
- Benefits: list: competitive salary commensurate with experience, qualifications and location. Then state-specific salary ranges. Then Bonus Opportunity (based on Company and Individual Performance). Then list: 401(k), Medical, Dental, Vision, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Life Insurance, Paid Time Off, Paid Parental Leave, Tuition Assistance.
- Pay: The salary ranges are given. So we should include Pay section with those ranges. The instruction: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. Yes.
- Schedule: Hybrid work environment details: at least three (3) days in office and up to two (2) days virtual for employees who live within fifty (50) miles of a Farmers corporate office. Applicants beyond fifty (50) miles may still be considered. Also mention Workplace: Hybrid (Kansas City, Grand Rapids and Dayton) // Remote in all other Midwest States. So we have schedule info.
- Also mention "Workplace: Hybrid (Kansas City, Grand Rapids and Dayton) // Remote in all other Midwest States". That's location.
We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "Anticipated application deadline: ..." maybe considered application instruction; we should drop. Also drop "Farmers believes in a culture of collaboration..." maybe part of About the role? Could be included in About the role.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: salary ranges per state, bonus, benefits list, education, experience, essential functions, physical actions, schedule/hybrid details, workplace locations.
We need to format as HTML fragment only, no or . Use
for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could contain company overview and job summary? The job summary is substantive. Could put under About the role.
- Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions.
- Requirements: could combine Education Requirements, Experience Requirements, Physical Actions? Might be better to have Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (maybe skills). But we have Skills not explicitly listed; maybe we can omit Skills section if no specific skills listed. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Education and Experience under Requirements. Physical Actions could be under Requirements as well (or maybe under Qualifications). But we have no explicit Skills section; we could omit Skills.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary ranges.
- Schedule: hybrid/remote details.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. For Pay we have actual ranges, so okay.
We need to include the salary ranges exactly as given. They are a bit messy: "CA Only: $72,300 - $123,090CO & ME: $67,950 - $106,040 HI/IL/MN/VT Only: $67,950 - $113,520MA Only: $67,950 - $113,520 o MD & VA: $67,950 - $113,520DC/NJ/NY/OH Only: $67,950 - $123,090Albany County, NY/Cleveland, OH: $72,300 - $106,040WA Only: $80,168 - $129,000". There's some formatting issues: missing spaces, "o" instead of "of"? We need to preserve as is? Probably we should keep the text but maybe add spaces for readability? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the exact text, but we could fix obvious typos? That would be inventing? Changing "o MD & VA" to "of MD & VA" would be altering. Better to keep as given. However the text seems garbled; maybe we should keep it exactly as in the source. Let's copy the benefits paragraph:
"Benefits Farmers offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience, qualifications and location.CA Only: $72,300 - $123,090CO & ME: $67,950 - $106,040 HI/IL/MN/VT Only: $67,950 - $113,520MA Only: $67,950 - $113,520 o MD & VA: $67,950 - $113,520DC/NJ/NY/OH Only: $67,950 - $123,090Albany County, NY/Cleveland, OH: $72,300 - $106,040WA Only: $80,168 - $129,000 Bonus Opportunity (based on Company and Individual Performance)401(k)MedicalDentalVisionHealth Savings and Flexible Spending AccountsLife InsurancePaid Time OffPaid Parental LeaveTuition AssistanceFor more information, review “What we offer” on https://www.farmers.com/careers/corporate/#offer"
We need to extract Pay section: the salary ranges. Benefits section: list of benefits (401(k), Medical, Dental, Vision, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Life Insurance, Paid Time Off, Paid Parental Leave, Tuition Assistance). Also Bonus Opportunity.
We need to separate Pay and Benefits.
Thus:
Pay: include the salary ranges text (maybe as a
).
Benefits: list the items.
Now schedule: "Workplace: Hybrid (Kansas City, Grand Rapids and Dayton) // Remote in all other Midwest States Farmers believes in a culture of collaboration, creativity, and innovation, which thrives when we have the ability to work flexibly in a virtual setting as well as the opportunity to be together in person. Our hybrid work environment combines the best of both worlds with at least three (3) days in office and up to two (2) days virtual for employees who live within fifty (50) miles of a Farmers corporate office. Applicants beyond fifty (50) miles may still be considered."
We can put that under Schedule.
Now About the role: maybe include the introductory paragraph about Farmers and the Job Summary.
Let's craft:
