We need to decide sections.
We have content for:
- About the role: could be the "Purpose and Importance of Position" plus maybe location info. So we can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
- Requirements: Experience, Required Education, maybe also Supervisory Role? Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Education Or Certification.

- Pay: Not mentioned. Omit.
- Schedule: Not mentioned (though location hybrid/remote). Could be considered schedule? But not explicit. Probably omit.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details verbatim or close.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Already not.
We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present).
We need to fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location info maybe minor metadata; we can include in About the role paragraph.
We need to remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication: "Consistently delivers positive and timely results for RiverStone Affiliates, including by evaluating and positioning Affiliates with respect to complex, high exposure matters and resolving such matters on commercially reasonable terms" appears twice? Actually in Essential Functions list there is a line that repeats? Let's check: The Essential Functions paragraph: "Consistently delivers positive and timely results for RiverStone Affiliates, including by evaluating and positioning Affiliates with respect to complex, high exposure matters and resolving such matters on commercially reasonable termsConsistently evidences excellent judgment concerning objectives, action plans, other associates, outside partners, and adversariesEffectively represents RiverStone externally, including in coordinating RiverStone initiatives with co-carriersProvides legal counsel and support for making informed and timely decisions regarding complex, high exposure claims and claim typesEnsures development and implementation of consistent company positions on key issues and key claim typesConsistently evidences disciplined analysis (legal, financial, and strategic/tactical) and displays a mastery of substantive litigation-related responsibilities, including:Actuarially-assisted modeling (sizing and valuation) of Affiliate’s exposureDefining and executing resolution plans on complex, high exposure claims and claim typesEffective management of outside counsel, including budgets and plansPrepares cogent, high quality reports setting forth application of underlying facts to relevant legal concepts and contract provisions, potential risks involved in a given matter, recommended strategy and valueEffectively manages internal and external company resources, including overseeing, inter alia, discovery, motion practice, trials and appealsTracks relevant legal developments and advises appropriate associates of such developments"
It seems there is no punctuation between items; it's a run-on. We need to split into list items logically. We'll create
- for each duty.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can break them into separate list items based on the natural breaks indicated by capital letters or phrases.
Let's parse:

We'll start with

then containing purpose/importance, location, travel, work environment maybe.
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we should not omit purpose/importance details. So we will include them in the About the role paragraph.
Let's draft About the role paragraph:
"This position reports to the Leader, Litigation & Legal Reform and requires an attorney experienced in complex, high exposure litigation and with a strong background in insurance coverage. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and executing strategy for each assigned litigated matter, legal issue, and/or category of exposures (e.g., emerging liabilities or specific trends), and managing internal and external resources towards a position/resolution that recognizes the unique aspects of the matter, issue, or exposure. The Litigation Attorney consistently displays an understanding of the role’s core objective: to effectively defend affiliates in the context of complex, high exposure claims and to timely resolve Affiliates’ exposures on commercially reasonable terms, with particular focus on creatively and effectively addressing novel theories of liability and claim types and issues that represent the potential for significant liability for policyholders and/or Affiliates. To this end, and embedded within all aspects of this position, the successful candidate must reflect the highest level of ethical conduct and communicate effectively with all stakeholders on a variety of insurance coverage disputes and complex, high exposure claims, including with APO, Reinsurance, Finance, and Executive leadership. This role demands the consistent ability to manage company resources, boost the performance of other associates, and apply disciplined legal financial, and strategic analysis. The Litigation Attorney role also requires a consistent display of good judgment and impact to Affiliates through material and timely positive results. The successful candidate will champion and exhibit RiverStone commitments at all times and seek to continually improve themselves and demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement in policies and processes, innovation, and a commitment to working as a team member within the unit and the broader Company. Location: Hybrid within 60 miles of Manchester, NH or Garden City, NY otherwise fully Remote in the United States. Travel: Varies. Frequent travel at times depending on business demands, mostly domestic but occasionally international. Work Environment: This position operates in a professional cubicle based collaborative environment and must have the ability to timely produce thorough, accurate work with many competing demands, deadlines, and distractions. The position uses standard equipment such as phones, computers, copiers/printers and filing cabinets. Noise level is moderate."
We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Purpose and Importance of Position" paragraph we captured. Also we included location, travel, work environment. Also we included "Other Duties (Disclaimer Statement)" maybe as a short p after sections.
