We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph: "Built on meritocracy... Professional Liability Claims Counsel is responsible for managing a portfolio..." That's description. - Responsibilities: bullet list from "How You Will Contribute:" lines. - Requirements: maybe "Licenses & Certifications:" and "Skills & Experience to be Successful:"? But we need to separate Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content goes where. We have: - Licenses & Certifications: NYS Adjuster License required; multiple states preferred. - Skills & Experience to be Successful: JD degree preferred. 3-5 years of experience handling professional liability claims. NYS Adjuster License required, multiple states preferred Strong knowledge of claims practices, litigation processes, and insurance coverage. Experience managing complex and/or high-exposure claims. Demonstrated ability to work independently and make sound judgment decisions. Excellent negotiation, analytical, and organizational skills. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Proficiency with claims management systems and Microsoft Office suite Preferred Experience in one or more specialty areas (e.g., Education, Public Entity, EPLI, E&O). Prior litigation experience or legal background. Familiarity with excess and surplus lines or specialty insurance markets. Exposure to reinsurance reporting and complex coverage issues. - Pay Range: $95,000 - $135,000 Annual. - Benefits: "Teammate Benefits & Total Well-Being" with list. - Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should NOT include Schedule section. - Qualifications: maybe combine Licenses & Certifications and Skills & Experience? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. We could treat: - Requirements: Licenses & Certifications (NYS Adjuster License required; multiple states preferred). - Qualifications: JD degree preferred; 3-5 years experience; etc. - Skills: Strong knowledge..., etc. But there is overlap. However we must not invent content. We need to preserve all substantive info. We can split the "Skills & Experience to be Successful" bullet list into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as appropriate. Better: Use Requirements for mandatory items (license, years experience). Qualifications for preferred items (JD degree, specialty experience). Skills for abilities (negotiation, analytical, communication, etc). Let's extract. From text: Licenses & Certifications: NYS Adjuster License required; multiple states preferred. Skills & Experience to be Successful: (list) - JD degree preferred. - 3-5 years of experience handling professional liability claims. - NYS Adjuster License required, multiple states preferred (duplicate) - Strong knowledge of claims practices, litigation processes, and insurance coverage. - Experience managing complex and/or high-exposure claims. - Demonstrated ability to work independently and make sound judgment decisions. - Excellent negotiation, analytical, and organizational skills. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. - Proficiency with claims management systems and Microsoft Office suite - Preferred Experience in one or more specialty areas (e.g., Education, Public Entity, EPLI, E&O). - Prior litigation experience or legal background. - Familiarity with excess and surplus lines or specialty insurance markets. - Exposure to reinsurance reporting and complex coverage issues. We can categorize: Requirements (must-have): - NYS Adjuster License required; multiple states preferred. - 3-5 years of experience handling professional liability claims. Qualifications (preferred/education): - JD degree preferred. - Preferred Experience in one or more specialty areas (e.g., Education, Public Entity, EPLI, E&O). - Prior litigation experience or legal background. - Familiarity with excess and surplus lines or specialty insurance markets. - Exposure to reinsurance reporting and complex coverage issues. Skills (abilities): - Strong knowledge of claims practices, litigation processes, and insurance coverage. - Experience managing complex and/or high-exposure claims. - Demonstrated ability to work independently and make sound judgment decisions. - Excellent negotiation, analytical, and organizational skills. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. - Proficiency with claims management systems and Microsoft Office suite. But note "Experience managing complex and/or high-exposure claims" could be both requirement and skill. We'll keep under Skills. Now Responsibilities: list from "How You Will Contribute:" bullet points. Let's extract each sentence as bullet: - Independently investigate, evaluate, and manage professional liability claims from inception through resolution. - Analyze coverage issues and determine applicability of policy terms, conditions, and exclusions. - Establish appropriate reserves and adjust them as necessary based on claim developments. - Develop and execute claim resolution strategies, including negotiation and settlement. - Guide litigation strategy, including discovery, motion practice, mediation, and trial preparation. - Attend mediations, settlement conferences, and trials as required. - Evaluate liability and damages of exposure using legal, factual, and industry-specific knowledge. - Provide accurate and timely financial forecasting on claims portfolios. - Maintain proactive communication with insureds, brokers, and management. - Deliver clear, concise, and timely claim updates and coverage determinations. - Support underwriting teams with claim insights and loss trends. - Ensure all claim handling adheres to regulatory requirements, internal guidelines, and best practices. - Prepare reports for management, carriers, reinsurers, and auditors as needed. - Identify emerging issues, trends, and exposures within the professional liability space. - Provide feedback to underwriting and risk management on loss drivers and prevention strategies. Now Benefits: list from "Teammate Benefits & Total Well-Being". The text: "We go beyond standard benefits, focusing on the total well-being of our teammates, including: Health Benefits: Medical/Rx, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance Financial Benefits: ESPP; 401k; Student Loan Assistance; Tuition Reimbursement Mental Health & Wellness: Free Mental Health & Enhanced Advocacy Services Beyond Benefits: Paid Time Off, Holidays, Preferred Partner Discounts and more. Not reflective of all benefits. Enrollment waiting periods or eligibility criteria may apply to certain benefits. Benefit details and offerings may vary for subsidiary entities or in specific geographic locations." We need to output as
  • items. Could break each benefit into separate li. But we can group categories? Probably each bullet as a benefit. Let's list each distinct benefit: - Medical/Rx - Dental - Vision - Life Insurance - Disability Insurance - ESPP - 401k - Student Loan Assistance - Tuition Reimbursement - Free Mental Health & Enhanced Advocacy Services - Paid Time Off - Holidays - Preferred Partner Discounts We could also include "Beyond Benefits: Paid Time Off, Holidays, Preferred Partner Discounts and more." but we already have those. Now Pay: we have Pay Range $95,000 - $135,000 Annual. Also note the sentence about good faith. We should include that as prose

    . The instruction: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. Yes. Now Schedule: not present, omit. Now About the role: we can put introductory paragraph(s) before responsibilities. The first paragraph: "Built on meritocracy, our unique company culture rewards self-starters and those who are committed to doing what is best for our customers. Brown & Brown is seeking a Professional Liability Claims Counsel to join our growing team! The Professional Liability Claims Counsel is responsible for managing a portfolio of complex professional liability claims, including Employment Practices Liability, Police Professional and Public Officials liability and other civil rights claims. The role requires independent claim handling, strong analytical skills, and the ability to evaluate legal liability, coverage, and damages while delivering high-quality customer service to insureds, brokers, and internal stakeholders." We'll put that in

    under About the role. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

    for each section heading. Use
    • for lists. Use

      for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. We already omitted. Now produce:
