FinanceFull-time
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. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: description of role: "As an Underwriting Assistant you will be a team player performing a variety of tasks directly supporting the underwriters, including information gathering for new business, pre-underwriting certain straightforward risks, renewals and midterm changes, policy issuance and electronic file maintenance. You will perform service of new, renewal and mid-term changes in an accurate and timely manner, must understand and effectively utilize corporate computer systems, and provide quality service to both internal and external customers. You will collaborate with underwriting, claims and operations staff as needed to perform tasks and work effectively as a team; contributing to the creation and sustaining of a high-performance team by embracing and understanding team and unit goals, performing at a meet expectation or above level, and contributing to and implementing actions to improve performance and efficiency." That's about role. - Responsibilities: The "What You’ll Be Doing" bullet list. We need to extract each bullet as
  • . The bullet list includes: Collect account and insured information for risk analysis by communicating directly with brokers on behalf of the underwriters. Perform tasks to directly support the underwriting staff during such stages of the process as pre-quote, bind and post-bind type tasks for new business, renewals and midterm changes. Liaise with underwriters and brokers as needed to communicate account status and complete outstanding subjectivities. Liaise with underwriters to confirm binder and policy issuance instructions for policies and midterm change requests. Create and deliver policies in an accurate and timely manner. Process post bind transactions as requested in AXA XL’s policy systems based on instruction from underwriting staff. Act as back up if needed for Intake of submissions, including performing broker/account clearance, data entry of information into AXA XL’s policy systems, electronic file set up and accurate filing of account information on submissions received from external customers in a timely manner and in accordance with guidelines. Generate and deliver renewal solicitation and non-renewal letters based on instruction from UW. Accountable for accuracy and quality of work/data entry completed. Manage and prioritize workloads to meet due dates. Also "In this role you will report to the Manager, Underwriting Operations - Hartford Professional." That could be part of responsibilities or about role. Might be included in responsibilities. - Requirements: The "What You Will BRING" list: Some customer service experience. Basic competency in standard office software applications: Word, Outlook, Excel, and Adobe required. Detail-oriented, proven prioritization, organization and time management skills with accurate results. Ability to work in a fast-paced environment. Commitment to excellence. Team oriented, collaborative, and flexible. Broker service experience and focus. These are skills/requirements. Could be split into Requirements and Skills. But we need to follow headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting doesn't separate qualifications vs skills explicitly. We can treat "What You Will BRING" as Requirements (or Skills). We need to decide which sections to include. We have Pay: "The U.S. base salary range for this position is USD 54,500 - 90,500. Actual pay will be determined based upon the individual’s skills, experience and location. We strive for market alignment and internal equity with our colleagues’ pay." That's specific pay range. So we can include Pay section. Benefits: There's a Benefits section: "At AXA XL, we know how important physical, mental, and financial health are to our employees, which is why we are proud to offer benefits such as an enterprising retirement savings plan, health and wellness programs, and many other benefits. We also believe in fostering our colleagues' development and offer a wide range of learning opportunities for colleagues to hone their professional skills and to position themselves for the next step of their careers. For more details about AXA XL’s benefits offerings, please visit US Benefits at a Glance 2026." That's somewhat generic but still mentions specific benefits: retirement savings plan, health and wellness programs, learning opportunities. It's not just placeholder. So we can include Benefits. Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule. Qualifications: Not explicitly separate. Could treat "What You Will BRING" as Qualifications. But we already used Requirements maybe. We need to decide which headings to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must not create empty sections. We need to allocate content. We could map: - About the role: introductory paragraph. - Responsibilities: the bullet list. - Requirements: maybe the "Some customer service experience..." list (these are requirements). Or we could treat them as Skills. - Qualifications: maybe education? Not present. So we skip Qualifications. - Skills: maybe the same list? But we need to avoid duplication. Better to assign one heading for the list: either Requirements or Skills. Since the list includes both experience and skills, we could call it Requirements. Then we could have Skills empty? Not allowed. So we should not include Skills if we don't have distinct content. Could combine Requirements and Skills into one heading? But rules say we can use those headings only if we have content. We could choose to include Requirements and Skills both with content, splitting the list. For example, Requirements: customer service experience, broker service experience. Skills: software competency, detail-oriented, prioritization, etc. Let's split. Thus: Requirements: - Some customer service experience. - Broker service experience and focus. Skills: - Basic competency in standard office software applications: Word, Outlook, Excel, and Adobe required. - Detail-oriented, proven prioritization, organization and time management skills with accurate results. - Ability to work in a fast-paced environment. - Commitment to excellence. - Team oriented, collaborative, and flexible. That seems reasonable. Now Benefits: we have paragraph. Pay: we have salary range. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

    headings and
    • for lists,

      for prose. We must not include any extra text like explanations. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, inclusion, sustainability, etc. Those are boilerplate? The instructions: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The inclusion/diversity paragraph is EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate; we should remove it. Also sustainability section is likely boilerplate; remove. Also "Learn more at axaxl.com" maybe okay? It's not boilerplate but it's a link; but it's part of "Who WE Are". Might be considered substantive? It's a description of the company. Could be considered part of About the role? But we already have About the role description. The "Who WE Are" paragraph is generic company description; could be considered boilerplate? Not exactly EEO but still generic. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. It doesn't explicitly say remove company overview. However, we should preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "Who WE Are" paragraph is substantive about the company. But the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could include it under About the role maybe. But we already have About the role description; we could add more paragraphs there. But we need to decide: Should we keep the "Who WE Are" paragraph? It describes AXA XL, its mission, etc. It's not boilerplate; it's specific to the company. However, the instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. That paragraph is not EEO. It's about the company's mission. I'd keep it as part of About the role maybe. Similarly, the "What We OFFER" includes Inclusion, Total Rewards, Sustainability sections. Those are largely boilerplate (EEO, sustainability). We should remove them. The Pay and Benefits we already captured. Thus we will keep: - About the role: combine the initial role description plus maybe the "Who WE Are" paragraph? But we need to avoid duplication. The "Who WE Are" paragraph is separate; we could include it as part of About the role. Let's extract the "Who WE Are" paragraph: "AXA XL, the P&C and specialty risk division of AXA, is known for solving complex risks. For mid-sized companies, multinationals and even some inspirational individuals we don’t just provide re/insurance, we reinvent it. How? By combining a comprehensive and efficient capital platform, data-driven insights, leading technology, and the best talent in an agile and inclusive workspace, empowered to deliver top client service across all our lines of business − property, casualty, professional, financial lines and specialty. With an innovative and flexible approach to risk solutions, we partner with those who move the world forward. Learn more at axaxl.com." That's substantive. We'll include it in About the role after the initial description. Now Benefits: we have paragraph about benefits: "At AXA XL, we know how important physical, mental, and financial health are to our employees, which is why we are proud to offer benefits such as an enterprising retirement savings plan, health and wellness programs, and many other benefits. We also believe in fostering our colleagues' development and offer a wide range of learning opportunities for colleagues to hone their professional skills and to position themselves for the next step of their careers. For more details about AXA XL’s benefits offerings, please visit US Benefits at a Glance 2026." We should keep that. Pay: "The U.S. base salary range for this position is USD 54,500 - 90,500. Actual pay will be determined based upon the individual’s skills, experience and location. We strive for market alignment and internal equity with our colleagues’ pay." Now we need to ensure we don't include any duplicated lines. Also we must not include the "Learn more at axaxl.com" maybe it's okay. Now produce HTML. Structure:
