Underwriting Practices Analyst-Inland Marine / Sr. Underwriting Practices Analyst-Inland Marine - Hybrid
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings if present. The posting includes "About Us" which is not in list; maybe we treat as "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is company overview; could be considered "About the role"? But they said use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only output those headings if the posting has real specific content for them. The posting includes "Overview" which is like role overview; could map to "About the role". There's also "Responsibilities" section present. There's "Qualifications" section present. There's "Total Rewards" which includes benefits and pay range. So we can have Benefits and Pay sections. There's no explicit Skills section; but qualifications include skills; but we should not create Skills unless explicit. There's no Schedule. So we output sections: About the role (from Overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also "Requirements" but Qualifications covers that. They said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove "Additional Information" about EEO, Massachusetts, etc. Also remove "All job duties and responsibilities must be carried out in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements." That's boilerplate? Might be considered legal; but it's a statement about compliance; maybe we keep? It's not a list; but it's a generic statement. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's part of responsibilities? It says "All job duties and responsibilities must be carried out in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements." That's generic; could be removed as boilerplate. Safer to remove.
Also remove "Selective is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer..." etc. Remove that.
Also remove "For Massachusetts Applicants ..." etc.
Also remove "Additional details about our total rewards package can be found by visiting our benefits page." That's maybe boilerplate; but it's part of benefits description; we could keep? It's a reference; but it's not substantive detail; maybe remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information: company overview, role overview, responsibilities list, qualifications list, total rewards description (benefits, pay range). Also include "College degree preferred", experience requirements.
We need to format.
Let's extract content.
About Us / Overview:
"About Us At Selective, we don't just insure uniquely, we employ uniqueness. Selective is a midsized U.S. domestic property and casualty insurance company with a history of strong, consistent financial performance for nearly 100 years. Selective's unique position as both a leading insurance group and an employer of choice is recognized in a wide variety of awards and honors, including listing in Forbes Best Midsize Employers in 2025 and certification as a Great Place to Work® in 2025 for the sixth consecutive year.

Together, we are a high-performing team working to serve our customers responsibly by helping to mitigate loss, keep them safe, and restore their lives and businesses after an insured loss occurs."
Then "Overview Serves as a subject matter expert for underwriting practices, supporting the LOB Practices Manager and VP, Casualty / Property Underwriting Practices in executing the technical and analytical functions. Assists and at times take the lead in the development, maintenance, and documentation of underwriting guidelines, authority frameworks, and LOB-specific training content.

Serves as a consultative resource on operational and regulatory compliance topics and supports vendor and tool deployment for the line of business"
We could combine About Us and Overview into About the role? But About Us is company overview; maybe we treat as About the role? The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should have an About the role section that includes role overview. The About Us could be considered company info; but we could still include it as part of About the role? Might be okay. However they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. About Us is not job title; it's company info; could be included as part of About the role? Might be okay.
Better to have About the role containing the Overview paragraph(s). The About Us could be considered company background; maybe we could include it as part of About the role as well. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include both.
We'll create
About the role
then containing the combined text: first the About Us paragraph, then the Overview paragraph(s). Ensure we keep all details.
Now Responsibilities: we have a list of responsibilities with subheadings like Guideline Creation, Authority Framework Support, etc. Each has sentences. We need to output as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should make each responsibility a list item. Could also keep subheadings inside li? Probably just plain li with the sentences.
We need to capture all responsibilities bullet points:
- Guideline Creation: Assists the LOB Practices Manager in developing, documenting, and maintaining underwriting guidelines. Researches coverage questions, analyzes forms and underwriting requirements, and drafts guideline updates for review. Tracks guideline changes and ensures documentation is current and accessible.

We should keep each as li.
Now Qualifications: The section "Qualifications Knowledge and Requirements" includes bullet-like sentences but not formatted as list. We need to output as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should turn each sentence into li.
List:
- Demonstrates underwriting expertise and knowledge of LOB-specific coverages, exposures, and underwriting guidelines, including the ability to develop, interpret, and apply underwriting standards.

- College degree preferred

- 3+ years specific line of business experience preferred
- 3+ years Risk Management, Reinsurance, Field Underwriting, or Agency Experience preferred
We should include those as li as well.
Now Benefits: The Total Rewards section includes description: "Selective Insurance offers a total rewards package that includes a competitive base salary, incentive plan eligibility at all levels, and a wide array of benefits designed to help you and your family stay healthy, achieve your financial goals, and balance the demands of your work and personal life. These benefits include comprehensive health care plans, retirement savings plan with company match, discounted Employee Stock Purchase Program, tuition assistance and reimbursement programs, and 20 days of paid time off."
We need Benefits section with list of benefits: comprehensive health care plans, retirement savings plan with company match, discounted Employee Stock Purchase Program, tuition assistance and reimbursement programs, 20 days of paid time off. Also mention competitive base salary and incentive plan eligibility? Those are more compensation; but we have Pay section for salary range. Benefits could include those items.
We'll create
Benefits
then - for each benefit.
Now Pay: we have Pay Range USD $96,000.00 - USD $160,000.00 /Yr. Also note "The actual base salary is based on geographic location, and the range is representative of salaries for this role throughout Selective's footprint. Additional considerations include relevant education, qualifications, experience, skills, performance, and business needs." We should include that as prose
maybe.
We'll create
Pay
then with the range and note.
We must not include sections like Schedule (none). Also not include Requirements separate; we have Qualifications.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, Massachusetts, legal compliance statements, etc. Also remove "All job duties and responsibilities must be carried out in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements." That's generic; we can drop.
Also remove "Additional details about our total rewards package can be found by

We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove "Additional Information" about EEO, Massachusetts, etc. Also remove "All job duties and responsibilities must be carried out in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements."
