No explicit schedule like full-time, hybrid etc. There's later: "Remote Working: Hybrid Schedule: Full Time" appears in location list? Actually near end: "Location(s): ... Remote Working: Hybrid Schedule: Full Time Employment Sponsorship Offered: No". That seems like metadata. We should include schedule if present: "Hybrid Schedule: Full Time". So schedule: Hybrid, Full-Time. - Benefits: we have "competitive pay and comprehensive benefits". Also maybe "We offer growth, inclusion, and a supportive environment". Could be considered benefits. We'll include a Benefits section with that. - Skills: maybe from Preferred Qualifications: list of skills.

Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications separate. The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. About the role: introductory paragraph describing role, purpose, location, etc. Responsibilities: bullet list of duties: managing complex large accounts, travel 20%, grow network, make decisions, managing/expanding portfolio, underwriting/analyzing new and renewal business, navigating complex assignments, building/maintaining strategic broker/agency relationships, ensuring compliance. Requirements: maybe the required qualifications (the lists for each level). Could combine. Qualifications: maybe the preferred qualifications? Or we could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements and Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications. But the instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll need to allocate. We could put Required Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and then Skills maybe from Preferred Qualifications? But Preferred Qualifications already includes skills. Could split: Qualifications: education/experience requirements; Skills: abilities like finance background, surety bonds, broker relationships, C-suite interaction, credit analysis, articulation, portfolio management, negotiation, team building. Pay: include salary ranges and bonus info. Benefits: include competitive pay and comprehensive benefits, growth, inclusion, supportive environment, etc. Schedule: Hybrid, Full-Time. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation. We must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include the list of states, travel %, etc. Let's extract substantive info: Intro: - Zurich’s Large Contract West Region Surety Team looking for motivated Contract Surety Underwriter. - Help strengthen portfolio, elevate client relationships, lasting impact across 13 Western States. - Highly technical position requires experience with Surety lines of business. - Collaborative, purpose-driven culture with global brand backing. - Opportunity to: - Lead with impact by managing complex large accounts - Travel with purpose, approximately 20% across the region - Grow your network working with top-tier agents and brokers - Make decisions that matter with clear accountability and broad authority - Market-facing role within West region; open to talent located anywhere in: Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Montana, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona. - Play critical role managing and expanding portfolio of domestic and international large accounts while driving business development and retention. - Underwriting and analyzing new and renewal business for large contract surety - Navigating complex assignments with confidence and autonomy - Building and maintaining strategic broker and agency relationships - Ensuring compliance with underwriting guidelines and regulatory requirements - Role filled at either Underwriting Specialist or Executive Underwriter level; hiring manager determines level based on experience/skill set relative to qualifications.
