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 that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
Location: remote or offices list.
Do you have legal billing experience? etc.
The posting includes a description: "Harris Beach Murtha Is Seeking An Experienced Legal Billing Specialist To Support The Firm’s Attorneys And Clients Through The Timely And Accurate Preparation, Processing, And Management Of Legal Invoices. You Will THRIVE In This Role If You Have: ..."
Then bullet list of requirements: 5+ years..., Associate's degree..., third party vendor..., Experience with Aderant..., Ability to handle..., Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Strong analytical..., Excellent verbal..., The ability to manage...
Then "The Legal Billing Specialist Plays a Key Role In The Firm's Financial Operations. Do You Have The DRIVE And DESIRE To:" then list of duties: Distribute and process monthly prebills..., Prepare, review, and finalize client invoices..., Submit electronic invoices..., Resolve electronic billing rejections..., Respond to client billing inquiries..., Conduct billing research..., Monitor work-in-progress..., Monitor accounts receivable..., Analyze accounting..., Collaborate with collections staff..., Provide prompt..., Assist with departmental projects...
Then "Harris Beach Murtha Recognizes Everyone Has a Right To Be Included. You Will Be SUCCESSFUL In Your Career At The Firm If You:" then list of success traits: Exhibit ability to manage multiple projects..., Believe in core values..., Enjoy working with diverse personalities..., Exercise sound judgment..., Demonstrate exceptional attention..., Prioritize continuous learning..., Are comfortable working independently...
Then salary info: "Salary information will vary depending upon relevant experience for the position, geographic locations and weekly hours schedule." Then specific rates per location.
Then note about agencies, EEO, etc. Then "About Harris Beach Murtha:" description.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the agency note, EEO statements, etc. Also remove "About Harris Beach Murtha:" maybe we can keep as "About the role"? Actually "About Harris Beach Murtha" is about the firm, not the role. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should map content to these headings.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the role: could be the introductory paragraph describing the role: "Harris Beach Murtha Is Seeking An Experienced Legal Billing Specialist To Support The Firm’s Attorneys And Clients Through The Timely And Accurate Preparation, Processing, And Management Of Legal Invoices." That's about the role.
- Responsibilities: the list of duties under "Do You Have The DRIVE And DESIRE To:" (the tasks). That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe the bullet list under "You Will THRIVE In This Role If You Have:" (experience, education, etc.) That's requirements/qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine or separate. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section, maybe "Requirements". Or we could have "Requirements" and "Skills". The skills list includes: Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Strong analytical..., Excellent verbal..., Ability to manage multiple priorities... Those are skills. Could be separate "Skills". But we might combine.
- Benefits: not mentioned besides maybe remote/hybrid? Not explicit benefits like health insurance. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not mention benefits. So omit.
- Pay: we have salary ranges per location. That's specific content. So include Pay section.
- Schedule: we have weekly hours schedule per location (e.g., 37.5 hours/week, 38.75, 35). That's schedule info. So include Schedule section.
We also have location info: could be part of About the role or maybe separate but not required heading. Could embed in About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Legal Billing Specialist". Good.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive: location list, remote/hybrid, requirements, responsibilities, success traits, salary ranges, schedule, about firm description? The "About Harris Beach Murtha" is substantive about the firm; maybe we can include under "About the role" or a separate "About the firm". But headings list includes "About the role". Could we put firm description there? Might be okay. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include the firm description in About the role section as a paragraph.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, agency note, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. The posting includes repeated lines like "Harris Beach Murtha Recognizes Everyone Has a Right To Be Included." That's not boilerplate? It's about inclusion; maybe it's part of success traits. We'll keep that as part of success traits under maybe "Qualifications" or "Skills". But we need to decide where to place.
Let's extract sections:
**About the role** (maybe combine firm description):
Paragraph: "Harris Beach Murtha Is Seeking An Experienced Legal Billing Specialist To Support The Firm’s Attorneys And Clients Through The Timely And Accurate Preparation, Processing, And Management Of Legal Invoices." plus location info: "Location: 100% Remote or any Harris Beach Murtha Office in Connecticut (Bantam, Hartford, New Haven, or Stamford), Massachusetts (Boston), or New York (Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, Long Island, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, or White Plains)." plus firm description: "Harris Beach Murtha formed in 2025 via the combination of Harris Beach PLLC and Murtha Cullina LLP. A forward-thinking and innovative partnership with the benefit of more than 250 years of combined history, Harris Beach Murtha’s New York roots reach back to 1856 and the firm has had ties to New England since 1936. Harris Beach and Murtha Cullina were separately among the country’s top law firms as ranked by The National Law Journal. Harris Beach Murtha and its subsidiaries have a strong Northeast presence, but a global reach. Clients include Fortune 100 corporations, privately held companies, emerging businesses, public sector entities, tax-exempt organizations and individuals. The firm’s practice areas and industries served span appellate law, business litigation, commercial real estate, construction, corporate, environmental, energy, financial institutions, financial restructuring, government compliance and investigations, health care, immigration, intellectual property, labor and employment, mass torts, medical and life sciences, political law, product liability, public finance, tax, and trusts and estates. The firm’s lawyers and consultants practice from offices throughout Connecticut in Bantam, Hartford, New Haven and Stamford; New York state in Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, New York City, Rochester, Saratoga Springs, Syracuse, Long Island and White Plains, as well as in Boston, Massachusetts and Newark, New Jersey." That's a lot; we should keep it.
**Responsibilities**: list of duties under "Do You Have The DRIVE And DESIRE To:".
List items:
- Distribute and process monthly prebills for assigned billing attorneys
- Prepare, review, and finalize client invoices, including edits, transfers, and adjustments
- Submit electronic invoices and verify the accuracy of supporting billing documentation
- Resolve electronic billing rejections and prepare appeals
- Respond to client billing inquiries
- Conduct billing research and provide support for current and historical invoices
- Monitor work-in-progress (WIP) and assist attorneys in minimizing unbilled time
- Monitor accounts receivable and support collection efforts for assigned attorneys
- Analyze accounting and billing discrepancies and reconcile issues accurately
- Collaborate with collections staff to resolve outstanding balances and minimize credit balances
- Provide prompt, professional responses to billing questions from attorneys and clients
- Assist with departmental projects, cross-training initiatives, and other accounting-related duties as assigned
**Requirements** (maybe combine with Qualifications): list under "You Will THRIVE In This Role If You Have:":
- 5+ years of accounting, billing, or finance experience in a legal environment
- Associate's degree in Business, Finance, or a related field; bachelor's degree preferred
- Third party vendor electronic billing experience on multiple platforms, including split billing, multi-payors, discounts, and alternative fee arrangements
- Experience with Aderant Expert, Aderant Classic, Bill Blast, or similar billing platforms
- Ability to handle complex billing situations
- Proficient in Microsoft Excel
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a client service mindset
- The ability to manage multiple priorities and meet strict deadlines with minimal supervision
**Skills**: maybe we could separate the soft skills: Strong analytical..., Excellent verbal..., Ability to manage multiple priorities... but those are already in requirements. Could combine.
**Qualifications**: maybe the success traits list under "Harris Beach Murtha Recognizes Everyone Has a Right To Be Included. You Will Be SUCCESSFUL In Your Career At The Firm If You:":
- Exhibit the ability to manage multiple projects independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
- Believe in the firm’s core values: collaboration, inclusion, ingenuity, respect, integrity, and commitment
- Enjoy working with diverse personalities at all levels of the firm
- Exercise sound judgment and maintain a high level of accuracy and confidentiality
- Demonstrate exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to outstanding client service
- Prioritize continuous learning and professional development
- Are comfortable working independently in a hybrid or fully remote environment while remaining a strong team contributor
We could put these under "Qualifications" or maybe "Skills". But we already have Skills. Perhaps better to have "Qualifications" for these success traits.
**Pay**: salary ranges per location:
- Albany, NY: $35.90 - $46.16/hour (37.5 hours/week)
- Buffalo, Ithaca, Rochester (Pittsford), or Syracuse, NY: $34.74 - $44.67 (38.75 hours/week)
- Downstate NY: $43.96 - $54.95/hour (35 hours/week)
- Boston, MA: $43.96 - $54.95/hour (35 hours/week)
We should preserve exactly as posted.
**Schedule**: maybe we can incorporate schedule within Pay (since hours listed). But we could also separate Schedule section: list weekly hours per location. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Since schedule is already included in Pay lines, we could keep Pay section only and not create separate Schedule. But the instruction says include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does state schedule (hours/week) within the pay lines. So we could either keep Pay section with both rate and hours, or split. I'd keep Pay section with the rates and hours as given; that covers schedule implicitly. No need separate Schedule.
But we might still include Schedule if we want to highlight hours. However to avoid thin sections, we can keep Pay only.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay.
Check if any other substantive content: The note about agencies and EEO we should remove. Also the "Harris Beach Murtha Cullina PLLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. Remove.
Also the "Harris Beach Murtha is not accepting candidate submissions from recruiting agencies..." remove.
Also the "Harris Beach Murtha compl
