We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: Intro paragraph: "If you’re passionate about helping people protect what matters most to them at a Fortune 100 company with nearly $70 billion in annual sales, as well as innovating and simplifying processes and operations to provide the best customer value, then Nationwide’s Property and Casualty team could be the place for you! At Nationwide®, “on your side” goes beyond just words. Our customers and partners are at the center of everything we do and we’re looking for associates who are passionate about delivering extraordinary care." That's about the role/intro. Then "Job Description Summary": "Are you a critical thinker who can analyze complex risk and find insurance solutions that balance customer needs with business goals? If you can take initiative, use both your analytical and creative abilities to make sound decisions and have a desire to help people solve real challenges, we want to hear from you! Our Excess & Surplus/Specialty (E&S/S) lines allow us to provide insurance that other carriers may not offer. It’s a fast-paced environment in a collaborative, team-oriented culture, working in an always-changing, growing industry. As an Underwriting Specialist in Brokerage Casualty you determine individual risk acceptability, pricing, coverage, terms and conditions, by developing, analyzing and evaluating information and exposures on risks of a complex technical nature for the Primary Casualty line of business. In addition, you’ll achieve production and loss ratio goals with assigned brokers or program managers by reviewing and analyzing claims, loss history and taking appropriate action on accounts. Broker assignments are more complex in terms of coverage and broker relationships. You will work independently with a high level of authority and judgment. Determining appropriate reinsurance placement, if any, on individual accounts is an important element of this role. We will count on you to foster positive business relationships with co-workers, brokers and reinsurers. You will also assist with research, development and presentation of new products, forms and manuals and have opportunities to assist in the training and mentoring of Underwriters and Underwriting Assistants." Then "Job Description Key Responsibilities:" with bullet list. Then "Reporting Relationships:" etc. Then "Typical Skills And Experiences" with Education, License/Certification/Designation, Experience, Knowledge, Abilities and Skills, Other criteria, Values. Then "Job Conditions": Overtime Eligibility, Working Conditions, ADA, etc. Then "We currently anticipate accepting applications until 10/19/2026..." (application deadline) - we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is a deadline; maybe considered application instruction? Probably remove. Then "Benefits" list. Then EEO etc - remove. Then "This position could be filled within any of the lower 48 U.S. states." - location info maybe keep? It's not a section but could be part of About the role? Might keep as part of About. Then "Smoke-Free Iowa Statement" etc - remove boilerplate. Then "For NY residents..." - remove. Then "Note To Employment Agencies" - remove. Then "Nationwide pays on a geographic-specific salary structure..." - compensation details. Then "Note on Compensation for Part-Time Roles:" etc. Then "The national salary range for Specialist, Brokerage Casualty Underwriting - E&S/Specialty : $80,000.00-$148,500.00 The expected starting salary range for Specialist, Brokerage Casualty Underwriting - E&S/Specialty : $80,000.00 - $120,000.00" Thus we have Pay info. Schedule: Not explicitly given. Working Conditions: Normal office environment. Limited travel out of state may be required. In-town entertaining required as necessary after normal business hours. That's schedule? Not exactly schedule but working conditions. Could be under Schedule? The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does not give explicit schedule (e.g., full-time, hours). It gives working conditions but not schedule. So we likely omit Schedule. Benefits: we have list. Pay: we have salary ranges. Qualifications: maybe Education, License/Certification, Experience. Skills: Knowledge, Abilities and Skills. Requirements: maybe combine Education, Experience, etc. But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. About the role: intro paragraphs (first two paragraphs) plus maybe description of role summary? Could include Job Description Summary as part of About the role. Responsibilities: the bullet list under Job Description Key Responsibilities. Requirements: maybe the "Typical Skills And Experiences" sections like Education, License/Certification/Designation, Experience? But those are qualifications. Actually Requirements could be mandatory items: Education, Experience, License/Certification. Qualifications could be preferred? But we need to follow typical pattern: Requirements = mandatory; Qualifications = preferred. However we can just put all under Requirements and Qualifications as appropriate. We have: Education: Undergraduate degree preferred. Equivalent work experience will be considered in lieu of a degree. (preferred). License/Certification/Designation: Completion of general insurance courses such as CPCU, CIC, AU, ARM, CPIW, CWIS, or ASLI is preferred. Experience: Five years as a CL underwriter, excess & surplus lines experience preferred. So these are preferred/qualifications. Knowledge, Abilities and Skills: list of knowledge and abilities. Values: Regularly and consistently demonstrates the Nationwide Values. Other criteria: leadership skills etc. Thus we can put Knowledge, Abilities and Skills under Skills section. Requirements could be: maybe "Five years as a CL underwriter" etc? But it's preferred. Hmm. We could treat Requirements as the core duties? No. Better: Use Requirements for mandatory items: maybe none explicitly mandatory; but we can still include Education, Experience, License as Requirements (since they are typical). Qualifications could be the knowledge/skills/values. But we need to avoid filler. We'll include sections with real content. Thus:
