HybridFinance$35.9–$46.16/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Must only include sections with real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions? The posting includes "Harris Beach Murtha is not accepting candidate submissions from recruiting agencies..." that's application instructions? Probably remove. Also remove EEO statements. Also remove "About Harris Beach Murtha" maybe considered "About the role"? Actually "About Harris Beach Murtha" is about firm, could be "About the role"? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading summarizing the role description. Then responsibilities list. Then requirements list (maybe combine qualifications and skills). But we need separate sections if content exists.
We need to extract:
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)." This is location, maybe part of About the role? Could be included in a paragraph.
Then "Do you have legal billing experience? Are you highly detail-oriented..." is like intro.
Then "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 qualifications.
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 responsibilities.
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 (maybe skills/qualities). Could be part of Skills or Qualities.
Then salary info: "Salary information will vary depending upon relevant experience for the position, geographic locations and weekly hours schedule. 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)". This gives Pay and Schedule.
Thus we have Pay and Schedule sections.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not create Benefits section.
We need to include About the role (maybe summarizing role and location). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe education/experience). Qualifications (maybe degree). Skills (maybe technical skills). But we must avoid thin sections; better to combine similar content into fewer sections. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, qualifications), Skills (technical and soft skills), Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay ranges.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points.

Now location: we can include in About the role paragraph.
About the role: combine intro and location.
Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Harris Beach Murtha is seeking an Experienced Legal Billing Specialist to support attorneys and clients through the timely and accurate preparation, processing, and management of legal invoices. The position is 100% remote or located at any Harris Beach Murtha office in Connecticut (Bantam, Hartford, New Haven, Stamford), Massachusetts (Boston), or New York (Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, Long Island, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, White Plains)."

About the role: combine intro and location.

Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and appropriate - or
.
We must not include any markdown fences.
Let's structure:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Requirements
- 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
Maybe also include strong analytical etc under Skills.
Skills
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a client service mindset
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet strict deadlines with minimal supervision
- 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
But note some of these overlap with responsibilities? Actually they are traits. It's okay.
Now Pay and Schedule sections.
Pay: we have multiple location-based ranges. We need to preserve all detail. Could present as a with each location line.
Schedule: we have weekly hours per location. Could also list.
We must not create sections if content is placeholder; we have actual data.
Thus:
Pay
- Albany, NY: $35.90 - $46.16/hour (37.5 hours/week)
- Buffalo, Ithaca, Rochester (Pittsford), or Syracuse, NY: $34.74 - $44.67/hour (38.75 hours/week)
- Downstate NY: $43.96 - $54.95/hour (35 hours/week)
- Boston, MA: $43.96 - $54.95/hour (35 hours/week)
But note schedule is included in each line; maybe we separate Pay and Schedule. However schedule is tied to pay; but we can still include schedule in Pay section or separate. The instruction says include Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. It does state both pay and schedule (hours/week). So we could split: Pay section with hourly ranges, Schedule section with weekly hours.
But the posting gives both together; we could still separate but need to avoid duplication. Could put Pay with ranges, Schedule with hours.
Let's extract:
Pay ranges:
- Albany, NY: $35.90 - $46.16/hour
- Buffalo, Ithaca, Rochester (Pittsford), or Syracuse, NY: $34.74 - $44.67/hour
- Downstate NY: $43.96 - $54.95/hour
- Boston, MA: $43.96 - $54.95/hour
Schedule (weekly hours):
- Albany, NY: 37.5 hours/week
- Buffalo, Ithaca, Rochester (Pittsford), or Syracuse, NY: 38.75 hours/week
- Downstate NY: 35 hours/week
- Boston, MA: 35 hours/week
We'll create two sections.
Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We haven't.
Now output HTML.
Check for any boilerplate we must remove: EEO statements, "Harris Beach Murtha is not accepting candidate submissions from recruiting agencies..." etc. Also "Harris Beach Murtha Cullina PLLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. Also "About Harris Beach Murtha:" etc. We removed.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive info: we included location, responsibilities, requirements, skills, pay, schedule. Did we miss any? The intro about "Do you have legal billing experience? Are you highly detail-oriented..." is covered in About the role? Not exactly; we could include that as part of About the role paragraph. Could add a sentence: "Do you have legal billing experience? Are you highly detail-oriented with strong analytical and organizational skills? Are you excited about the opportunity to join an innovative, growing law firm that has been successful for more than 165 years
