Hybrid$66k–$109k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First, we have an intro: "An exciting opportunity exists to join the ProAssurance family of companies! ..." This is about the company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have description of role: "This position supports our workers' compensation line of business, Eastern Alliance. Preference is for this position to be based in Charlotte NC, but we will consider having the position based out of Raleigh NC or Richmond VA. This position reports to the Charlotte NC office 2 days per month. The primary responsibility of the Senior Underwriter is to execute the strategic initiatives and financial goals of the Underwriting Department in support of the Company’s revenue and profitability objectives and overall business plan. This position provides focused customer service and support for all commercial underwriting transactions within delegated authority. This position operates autonomously, conducts individual and group training, acts as a mentor, supports the underwriting referral process and helps to develop and assist with the implementation of operational objectives. Based on business needs, this role will be assigned to support accounts based on premium size, with specific responsibility for either accounts <$50,000 or accounts >$50,000 in annual premium." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Then "What you'll do:" with percentages and bullet-like statements. That's responsibilities. Should be a list. Then "What we're looking for:" with bullet list of qualifications/requirements/skills. We need to separate into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe. The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. The posting includes: "Bachelor’s degree in business, insurance or related field is required. Eight years of industry related experience plus a CPCU, CIC or CRM designation can replace the bachelor’s degree. A minimum of five years of insurance underwriting experience is required. Workers’ compensation underwriting experience and the active pursuit of professional development and the completion of insurance designations (CPCU, CIC, CRM, AU, ARM, AINS, etc.) is strongly preferred. Demonstrated proficiency in underwriting skills through achieving targeted financial and operational results. Demonstrated ability to earn underwriting authority and work independently. Proven ability to establish effective internal and external relationships. Ability to attend insurance and industry/business functions to promote and present a positive image of the Company. Proficiency in Microsoft Office computer applications; ability to learn new computer software applications. Advanced analytical ability, in order to analyze and interpret information; and make profitable decisions about risks. Attention to detail in processing policy information, establishing priorities, and meeting deadlines. Solid analytical and problem-solving skills, including formulating logical and objective conclusions and the ability to think strategically. Ability to assess the urgency and importance of a situation and take appropriate action. Ability to communicate effectively and professionally both verbally and in writing with various constituencies and at all levels; both in and outside of the organization including agency partners, outside customers and clients." These are requirements/qualifications/skills. We can categorize: Requirements: education, experience, maybe certifications. Qualifications: maybe the preferred experience, designations. Skills: abilities like analytical, communication, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. We could combine into one "Requirements" section that includes all bullet points. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications and skills), Benefits, Pay. Schedule? The posting mentions: "Preference is for this position to be based in Charlotte NC, but we will consider having the position based out of Raleigh NC or Richmond VA. This position reports to the Charlotte NC office 2 days per month." That's schedule/location info. Could be Schedule section (2 days per month in office). Also location info maybe not schedule but we can put under Schedule. Benefits: "Build your career with us and enjoy access to a best-in-class benefits program." That's vague, no specifics. The instruction says do NOT create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It only says "best-in-class benefits program" but no detail. That's vague; maybe we should not include Benefits because it's not specific. However it's a statement about benefits. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states "best-in-class benefits program" which is a statement about benefits, albeit not detailed. I'd consider that as stating benefits exist, but not specifics. Might be okay to include a Benefits section with that sentence. But we should avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's a statement. I'd include Benefits. Pay: The posting includes "Position Salary Range $66,229.00 - $109,289.00" and explanation. That's specific, so include Pay. Schedule: The posting includes location preference and reports to office 2 days per month. That's schedule info. So include Schedule. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

for each section, and
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some about assessments, predictive index, etc. That's part of hiring process; should we keep? The instruction: remove application instructions. The predictive index assessment details are part of application process. Likely should be removed as application instructions. Also the note about assessments and emails. That's application instructions. So we should remove that. Also the sentence: "We are committed to providing a dynamic and inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work and grow personally and professionally. For that reason, we partner with The Predictive Index (PI) – an organization equally committed to improving the working lives of people, to help us hire the best talent by providing additional insight about one’s work style." That's also about hiring process; maybe remove as boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but could be considered part of hiring process. Safer to remove. Also the final sentence: "Build your career with us and enjoy access to a best-in-class benefits program." That's benefits statement; we keep. Now we need to structure. Sections: - About the role: prose summarizing role description (first paragraph after intro). Could include the location preference and reporting schedule? But schedule separate. Better: About the role: description of role, purpose, primary responsibility, autonomy, training, mentor, etc. We'll put that as

    . - Responsibilities: list from "What you'll do:" with percentages. Each bullet as

  • . Keep percentages and details. - Requirements: combine education, experience, certifications, etc. Could be a list. - Skills: maybe list of abilities (analytical, communication, etc). But we could combine Requirements and Skills into one section to avoid thin sections. However we have both Requirements and Skills headings available. If we make both, they'd be substantive. Let's see if we can split meaningfully. Requirements: Bachelor’s degree, eight years industry experience plus designation can replace bachelor's, minimum five years insurance underwriting experience, workers' compensation underwriting experience strongly preferred, active pursuit of professional development and completion of insurance designations strongly preferred. Qualifications: maybe "Demonstrated proficiency in underwriting skills through achieving targeted financial and operational results." etc. But that's also a skill. Better: Use Requirements for education/experience/certifications. Use Skills for abilities like analytical, communication, attention to detail, problem-solving, strategic thinking, etc. Use Qualifications maybe for "Demonstrated ability to earn underwriting authority and work independently." etc. But that's also skill. Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections, maybe we just have one "Requirements" section that includes all bullet points from "What we're looking for:" as a list. That would be substantive. Then we don't need Qualifications or Skills sections. That's acceptable: we only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements. We can omit Qualifications and Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule, Benefits (if we keep). That's six sections. Check if any content for Benefits: we have "Build your career with us and enjoy access to a best-in-class benefits program." That's a statement; we can include as

    under Benefits. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine the introductory paragraph about mission? Actually the first paragraph about mission and why choose ProAssurance is more about company. Could be included in About the role? Might be considered company overview. But we can include it as part of About the role prose. Let's extract: "An exciting opportunity exists to join the ProAssurance family of companies! Our mission is powerful and simple: We protect others. Choosing a place to apply your talents is an important decision for anyone. You have plenty of options. Why choose ProAssurance? At ProAssurance, we sell a pledge, and that pledge is delivered by our team members.

ProAssurance specializes in healthcare professional liability, products liability for medical technology and life sciences, legal professional liability, and workers' compensation insurance. We are an industry-leading specialty insurer, with job opportunities in much of the contiguous United States. This position supports our workers' compensation line of business, Eastern Alliance. Preference is for this position to be based in Charlotte NC, but we will consider having the position based out of Raleigh NC or Richmond VA. This position reports to the Charlotte NC office 2 days per month. The primary responsibility of the Senior Underwriter is to execute the strategic initiatives and financial goals of the Underwriting Department in support of the Company’s revenue and profitability objectives and overall business plan. This position provides focused customer service and support for all commercial underwriting transactions within delegated authority. This position operates autonomously, conducts individual and group training, acts as a mentor, supports the underwriting referral process and helps to develop and assist with the implementation of operational objectives. Based on business needs, this role will be assigned to support accounts based on premium size, with specific responsibility for either accounts <$50,000 or accounts >$50,000 in annual premium." That's a lot; we can keep as prose. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from "What you'll do:" with percentages. We need to preserve percentages and details exactly. Let's list: - 35% - Within approved authority, analyze risks for new and renewal business in support of the company’s Underwriting objectives; makes decisions in support of profitability about accepting, modifying or declining all new and renewal business within the timelines set by regulatory and Company guidelines. Assumes lead underwriting responsibilities for Inova® programs as needed and demonstrates a working knowledge of retrospectively rated and large deductible products. - 15% - Perform functions necessary for the accurate, timely issuance of quotations, policies, renewals, endorsements, cancellations, non-renewals, risk management surveys and required file documentation by working collaboratively with agency partners, associate underwriters and all internal colleagues. - 15% - Cultivate and develop high quality company-agency and company-client working relationships by visiting and communicating with agents and risks on a regular and timely basis as necessitated by business needs and company guidelines; identify any new alternative insurance program opportunities communicating closely with the Inova® team. -
