Amerisure Insurance · Tampa, FL · 1 mo ago
HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a paragraph about Amerisure and then "Amerisure is currently recruiting for a Senior Associate, Workers’ Compensation Staff Counsel to join our team in Tampa, FL. This position will be hybrid working 3 days in the office and 2 from home." That's about role and location, schedule. Then "Position Summary:" paragraph. Then "Responsibilities:" list. Then "Requirements:" list. Then later benefits: "competitive total rewards package... competitive base pay, performance-based incentive pay, comprehensive health and welfare benefits, a 401(k) savings plan with profit sharing, and generous paid time off programs. We also offer flexible work arrangements to promote work-life balance." Also mentions recognized as Best and Brightest etc. So we have Benefits section content. Pay? Not specific numbers, just "competitive base pay, performance-based incentive pay". That's vague but still mentions pay. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits and flexible work arrangements (schedule). It mentions hybrid working 3 days in office 2 from home => schedule. Pay: mentions competitive base pay, performance-based incentive pay. That's still stating pay, albeit not specific numbers. Should we include Pay section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them (though vague). So we can include Pay and Benefits sections. However we should avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Here we have "competitive base pay, performance-based incentive pay". That's substantive enough. So include Pay section with that sentence. Benefits section with list: comprehensive health and welfare benefits, a 401(k) savings plan with profit sharing, generous paid time off programs, flexible work arrangements (though schedule already). Also recognition as Best and Brightest etc maybe part of Benefits or About the role? Could be separate but we can include under Benefits. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role: could include the introductory paragraph about Amerisure and the position summary? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use About the role heading for general description. Then Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications? But Requirements already covers qualifications. We could skip Qualifications and Skills if not distinct. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract content: About the role: combine the introductory paragraph about Amerisure and the position summary. The posting: "Amerisure creates exceptional value for its partners, policyholders, and employees. As a property and casualty insurance company, Amerisure’s promise to our partner agencies and policyholders begins with a comprehensive line of insurance products designed to protect businesses, as well as the health and safety of every employee. With an A.M. Best “A” (Excellent) rating, Amerisure serves mid-sized commercial enterprises focused in construction, manufacturing and healthcare. Ranked as one of the top 100 Property & Casualty companies in the United States, we proudly manage nearly $1 Billion of Direct Written Premium and maintain $1.21 billion in surplus. Amerisure is currently recruiting for a Senior Associate, Workers’ Compensation Staff Counsel to join our team in Tampa, FL. This position will be hybrid working 3 days in the office and 2 from home. Position Summary: As part of Amerisure’s staff counsel operation, this role will be responsible for managing a caseload of moderately complex workers’ compensation defense matters in Florida. This role is responsible for responsible for ensuring best-in-class trial strategy, litigation outcomes, and client service." We need to avoid duplication: "This role is responsible for responsible for" seems a typo but we keep as is. We'll put that in

under About the role. Responsibilities: list after "Responsibilities:" The text: "Handle all phases of a petition for benefits (strategy, , discovery, depositions, hearings, and post‑hearing follow‑through) to ensure (i) strategic alignment, (ii) optimal outcomes, and (iii) early resolution, when appropriate.Analyze complex legal and factual issues and conduct thorough research to develop and execute effective defense strategies.Independently prepare and present witnesses and evidence at hearings and/or mediations.Prepare for and attend hearings, depositions, and appeals as assigned.Provide clear and timely communication and legal guidance to clients and claims professionals as appropriate.Apply strong independent judgment, analytical skills, and litigation experience to drive optimal case outcomes.Partner with Claims on strategy, escalation points, and settlement objectives.Collaborate with Claims to develop and implement service strategies that meet or exceed the service levels committed to agents and policyholders.Communicate with the OJCC, witnesses, opposing counsel and clients in a manner consistent with established office procedures and the Rules of Professional Conduct.Ensure cases progress efficiently, managing workload to achieve timely resolutions.Participate in continuing legal education to stay current with insurance law, trends, and industry developments.Ensure full compliance with all ethical, regulatory, and corporate governance requirements." We need to split into list items. Each sentence seems a responsibility. We'll create

  • for each. Requirements: list after "Requirements:" The text: "Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an ABA-accredited law school.Active license and in good standing with the Florida Bar.Minimum of 7 years of experience handling the defense of workers’ compensation claims including significant first-chair hearing experience.Deep understanding of Florida workers’ compensation law and defense strategy.Strong written and oral advocacy skills; adept at negotiation and courtroom presentation.Ability to think strategically with supporting analytical and critical thinking skills, including the ability to deal with ambiguity.Demonstrated successful ability to build positive partnerships and work collaboratively with cross-functional business teams.Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to interact with all levels of the organization.Proficient with Microsoft Office, LexisNexis, AI, workflow creation, and case-management systems.Maintains independence and ethical clarity.Ability to travel overnight and locally up to 20%." We'll split into list items. Benefits: after "We reinforce this commitment by adhering to an Employee Value Proposition that, in part, is provided through a competitive total rewards package. This package includes competitive base pay, performance-based incentive pay, comprehensive health and welfare benefits, a 401(k) savings plan with profit sharing, and generous paid time off programs. We also offer flexible work arrangements to promote work-life balance. Recognized as one of the Best and Brightest® Companies to Work For in the Nation and one of Business Insurance magazine’s Best Places to Work in Insurance, we provide a workplace that fosters excellence and professional growth." We need Benefits section: list items: competitive base pay, performance-based incentive pay, comprehensive health and welfare benefits, a 401(k) savings plan with profit sharing, generous paid time off programs, flexible work arrangements, recognition as Best and Brightest® Companies to Work For, Best Places to Work in Insurance (maybe separate). But note that base pay and incentive pay also belong to Pay section. To avoid duplication, we could put pay details in Pay section, and benefits in Benefits section. However the instruction says we can have both Pay and Benefits sections if posting states them. It does state base pay and incentive pay (Pay) and also health benefits, 401k, PTO, flexible work arrangements (Benefits). Also recognition could be part of Benefits or About the role. We'll put recognition under Benefits as a bullet. Pay section: "competitive base pay, performance-based incentive pay". That's it. Schedule section: hybrid working 3 days in the office and 2 from home. Also maybe mention travel up to 20%? That's travel requirement not schedule. We'll keep schedule as hybrid. We must not create Schedule section if not stated; it is stated. Now produce HTML fragment:

    Hybrid working 3 days in the office and 2 days from home.

    Check for duplicate content: Ensure we didn't include the same sentences elsewhere. Now craft the About the role paragraph: combine the intro and position summary but avoid repeating "Amerisure creates exceptional value..." etc. We'll include all that. Let's write:

    Amerisure creates exceptional value for its partners, policyholders, and employees.

This role is responsible for responsible for ensuring best-in-class trial strategy, litigation outcomes, and client service.

    Note the duplicate "responsible for responsible for". We'll keep as is. Now Responsibilities list items: need to split sentences. Let's list each: - Handle all phases of a petition for benefits (strategy, , discovery, depositions, hearings, and post‑hearing follow‑through) to ensure (i) strategic alignment, (ii) optimal outcomes, and (iii) early resolution, when appropriate. - Analyze complex legal and factual issues and conduct thorough research to develop and execute effective defense strategies. - Independently prepare and present witnesses and evidence at hearings and/or mediations. - Prepare for and attend hearings, depositions, and appeals as assigned. - Provide clear and timely communication and legal guidance to clients and claims professionals as appropriate. - Apply strong independent judgment, analytical skills, and litigation experience to drive optimal case outcomes. - Partner with Claims on strategy, escalation points, and settlement objectives. - Collaborate with Claims to develop and implement service strategies that meet or exceed the service levels committed to agents and policyholders. - Communicate with the OJCC, witnesses, opposing counsel and clients in a manner consistent with established office procedures and the Rules of Professional Conduct. - Ensure cases progress efficiently, managing workload to achieve timely resolutions. - Participate in continuing legal education to stay current with insurance law, trends, and industry developments. - Ensure full compliance with all ethical, regulatory, and corporate governance requirements. Note there is a stray comma after "strategy,". We'll keep as is. Now Requirements list items: - Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an ABA-accredited law school. - Active license and in good standing with the Florida Bar. - Minimum of 7 years of experience handling the defense of workers’ compensation claims including significant first-chair hearing experience. - Deep understanding of Florida workers’ compensation law and defense strategy. - Strong written and oral advocacy skills; adept at negotiation and courtroom presentation
