Advisory Associate, Federal Program Delivery | McLean Summer/Fall 2027

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about KPMG, but we should not repeat job title. We need sections only when there is real specific content. The posting includes Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits (mentions benefits package), maybe Pay? It mentions salary ranges but not actual numbers; says "If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires..." It does not give actual numbers, just says see link. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does mention benefits package details (medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being benefits, PTO, holidays). So Benefits section is appropriate. Pay: they mention salary ranges but not actual numbers; they say "If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires..." This is not a concrete range; it's a statement about transparency. Should we include Pay? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state that they offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package and link to salary ranges. It does not give explicit numbers. Might be considered stating that salary info is available via link. But the rule says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". This is similar: they say see link for ranges. That's not a specific range. I'd avoid Pay section. Schedule: they mention work location may be office, client sites, virtual/remote, must be located within US when working remotely, may require travel. That's schedule/location info. Could be considered Schedule? The rule: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave example list. We can include Schedule if there is real specific content about work hours, remote, travel. The posting says: "Work location may be in the office, at client sites, or virtual/remote depending on business need; you must be located within the U.S. when working remotely; client site locations may require travel and overnight/extended stay". Also earlier: "Applicant must reside within a commutable distance of the office for this position and be responsible for your own transportation". That's location/commuting. So we can include Schedule section with that info. Also we might include About the role (intro). The intro paragraph about KPMG and the role is substantive. Could be About the role. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Remove those. We need to preserve all substantive information: responsibilities list, qualifications list, benefits details, schedule/location info, maybe also mention security clearance, GPA, degree list, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Associate". Use headings for sections. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft:

  About the role

Join an inclusive team that inspires excellence, delivers meaningful impact, and empowers you to shape your own future. KPMG is currently seeking an Associate for our Advisory practice.

  But note: we should not repeat the job title as a heading, but we can mention it in prose. That's fine. Then Responsibilities:

  Responsibilities

  • Support delivery and development of advisory services to clients, primarily with services related to projects, programs or portfolio management
  • Support development and maintenance of program/project charters, schedules, management plans, risk management and supporting artifacts
  • Support regular reporting and communication to client and KPMG leadership and adhere to quality and performance standards set by team leadership
  • Support teams to conceptualize and determine communications and training strategies that support their goals and objectives
  • Support the development of communications and training products that support transformation goals/objectives and adoption of new technologies and/or processes
  • Develop content for and design PowerPoint decks, fact sheets, roadmaps, status reports
  Qualifications:

  Qualifications

  • Applicant must be pursuing and have obtained by the start date or have completed the following degrees/majors in the past 12 months: Bachelors or Masters degree in Business Administration, Communications, Marketing, Public Policy, Organizational Psychology, Operations, Management, Information Systems, Strategy, Political Science, Government, Human Factors/Human Centered Design, or equivalent program from an accredited college or university
  • Applicant must have a current/most recent GPA of 3.0 or above
  • Applicant must be eligible for or possess a U.S. Government Security clearance
  • Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills; demonstrated ability to excel and drive strategic outcomes, coupled with a professional demeanor and a collaborative leadership approach, in a dynamic, evolving environment
  • Ability to leverage common business technologies, including MS Office (with an emphasis on Excel) and AI, and quickly learn KPMG tools and applications used by our clients
  • Strong communication, organization and relationship-building skills, with the ability to apply professional judgment and skepticism, manage priorities across multiple tasks and deliver high-quality work in a professional services capacity
  • Applicant must reside within a commutable distance of the office for this position and be responsible for your own transportation, such as personal vehicle or public transportation, to get to and from office / client locations to satisfactorily fulfill your job duties, as determined by your practice leadership
  • Work location may be in the office, at client sites, or virtual/remote depending on business need; you must be located within the U.S. when working remotely; client site locations may require travel and overnight/extended stay
  • Applicant must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)
  But note: some of these are more like requirements; we could split into Requirements and Qualifications but we can keep as Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Qualifications; we could also have Skills but we already included skills in qualifications. Might be okay. Benefits:

  Benefits

  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle
  • Variety of medical and dental plans
  • Vision coverage
  • Disability and life insurance
  • 401(k) plans
  • Robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support mental health
  • Personal Time Off per fiscal year (based on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service)
  • Calendar of holidays to be observed during the year
  • Two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off (year‑end and around July 4th)
  Schedule: maybe we already included location/travel in Qualifications; but we could create a Schedule section for work location/remote/travel. However we already included those points in Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could move location/travel to Schedule and keep Qualifications focused on education, GPA, clearance, skills, authorization. Let's restructure. Qualifications: education, GPA, security clearance, skills (technical, business acumen, critical thinking, agility, MS Office, AI, communication, organization, relationship-building, professional judgment, skepticism, manage priorities), work authorization (US without sponsorship). Also maybe mention "Applicant must be pursuing and have obtained by the start date or have completed the following degrees/majors..." etc. Schedule/Location: commutable distance, own transportation, work location may be office/client sites/virtual/remote, must be located within US when remote, client site may require travel/overnight. Thus we avoid duplication. Let's extract skills bullet points: "Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills; demonstrated ability to excel and drive strategic outcomes, coupled with a professional demeanor and a collaborative leadership approach, in a dynamic, evolving environment" and "Ability to leverage common business technologies, including MS Office (with an emphasis on Excel) and AI, and quickly learn KPMG tools and applications used by our clients" and "Strong communication, organization and relationship-building skills, with the ability to apply professional judgment and skepticism, manage priorities across multiple tasks and deliver high-quality work in a professional services capacity". We'll keep as separate bullets or combine? Could be separate bullets for clarity. Now Benefits: we have list. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, compliance statements, visa sponsorship list (we kept that as part of qualifications about work authorization). The list of visa types is part of the statement about no sponsorship; we can keep that as part of the bullet about work authorization (maybe summarise). The rule says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the detail about no sponsorship for those specific visa types. That is substantive. So we should keep the exact sentence: "Applicant must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)". That's fine. Now we need to remove duplicated lines: there is a repeated sentence about KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package. We'll keep only one. Now we need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft final HTML. Check for any remaining boilerplate: The paragraph about "KPMG LLP and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges." That's about pay transparency; we omitted Pay section. Could we include a short note about pay transparency? The rule says only include Pay section if posting actually states them. It does state that they comply with local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges and provides a link. That is substantive about pay transparency. However we decided not to create Pay section because no actual range. But we could include a short paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate Pay transparency note? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." If we create a Pay section with just a statement about transparency and a link, that might be thin. Better to incorporate that sentence into About the role or maybe a separate "Pay Transparency" but not required. Since we are not creating Pay section, we can drop that sentence? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. The sentence about pay
