Senior Underwriting Counsel (Hybrid)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can map content to appropriate headings. The posting includes: Who We Are (company description) maybe not needed as heading? Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about company, not role. Might be considered "About the role"? But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for responsibilities (What You'll Do), requirements/qualifications (What You'll Bring), benefits (What We Offer includes benefits and pay range). Also we have "What We Do" maybe as role description (responsibilities). Could combine.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We have some EEO statement in What We Offer: "First American is an equal opportunity employer..." Should remove that as boilerplate. Also "Based on eligibility..." maybe part of benefits but we can keep description of benefits. Pay range is present, so we need Pay section. Benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO/paid sick leave, employee stock purchase plan. Also mention inclusive culture etc. Could be Benefits section.
Schedule not mentioned, so omit.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we should make
- . For requirements list also
- . For benefits list also
- .
We need to use
for prose.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide headings: Could use "About the Company" but not in allowed list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map:
- About the role: maybe combine "Who We Are" and "What We Do"? But "About the role" is supposed to be about the role, not company. Could use "About the role" for a brief description of the role (What We Do). However we also have responsibilities separate. Could do: About the role: short paragraph summarizing role (maybe from What We Do). Then Responsibilities: list of duties from What You'll Do. Then Requirements: list from What You'll Bring (law degree, experience etc). Then Benefits: list from What We Offer (benefits). Then Pay: show pay range.
We must not invent headings without content. We have content for each.
Let's extract prose:
Who We Are: descriptive paragraph about company. Could be omitted? Not required but could be part of About the role? Might be considered company overview, not role. Might be okay to include as About the role? But the instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not strict list? It says use those headings. Probably we should stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings. If we have company description, maybe we put under About the role? But that's not accurate. However we could omit company description if not needed? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep all substantive information. The company description is substantive. So we need a place for it. Could we use "About the role" to include both company and role? Might be acceptable as it's the only heading for introductory prose. We'll put company overview and role description in About the role.
Then Responsibilities: list of duties from What You'll Do.
Then Requirements: list from What You'll Bring (law degree, experience, etc). Could also separate Qualifications and Skills but we can combine into Requirements.
Then Benefits: list from What We Offer (benefits). Also include inclusive culture statement maybe as prose.
Then Pay: show pay range.
We must not include Schedule.
