We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the job description and extract relevant content.
Sections:
- About the role: likely the introductory paragraph(s) describing the firm and role. Could be "As CohnReznick grows..." etc. We'll include a paragraph summarizing the role overview.
- Responsibilities: list of duties under "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities". We'll extract bullet points.
- Requirements: maybe "Your Experience." includes required qualifications. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content fits each.
We have: "Your Experience." includes bullet-like sentences: Bachelor's degree required, 10+ years..., Direct experience..., Demonstrated experience..., Strong understanding..., Deep knowledge..., Experience administering..., Demonstrated success..., Experience leading..., Ability to communicate..., Proven ability..., Strong critical thinking..., Excellent written..., Proficiency..., Willingness to travel..., Highly Preferred... etc.
We could treat "Requirements" as the mandatory items (Bachelor's degree required, 10+ years..., Direct experience..., Demonstrated experience..., Strong understanding..., Deep knowledge..., Experience administering..., Demonstrated success..., Experience leading..., Ability to communicate..., Proven ability..., Strong critical thinking..., Excellent written..., Proficiency..., Willingness to travel...). "Highly Preferred" could go under "Qualifications" or "Skills"? Actually "Qualifications" could be the preferred qualifications. "Skills" could be specific skills like Microsoft Office, communication, etc. But we need to avoid duplication.
Simplify: Use sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (mandatory), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (maybe technical skills like Microsoft Office), Benefits (mention total rewards, PTO, parental leave, learning & development, volunteer time off), Pay (salary range), Schedule (hybrid, 3 days a week in office). Ensure we only include sections with real content.
Check if any content for Benefits: The posting mentions "We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." Also later: "Salary is one component of the CohnReznick total rewards package, which includes a discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, expanded and inclusive parental benefits, to name a few." So we have benefits content.
Pay: "In Maryland, the salary range for a Advisory Director is $190,000 to $270,000." So we have pay.
Schedule: "While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." Also mention hybrid firm. So schedule content.
Now we need to output HTML with

Now we need to output HTML with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include any markdown fences.
Let's craft:
About the role
... paragraph summarizing firm and role.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details but can condense into prose? The instruction: "Use for prose." So we can put paragraphs. We should not lose details; we can include them in paragraphs.
But we also need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits we should use lists.
Thus:
- About the role: prose paragraph(s).
- Responsibilities:
- each duty.
- Requirements:
- each mandatory requirement.
- Qualifications:
- each preferred qualification.
- Skills: maybe list of skills like Microsoft Office proficiency, communication, critical thinking, etc. But some of those are already in requirements. Could separate: Skills: proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, strong communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, ability to travel. But we might duplicate. Better to treat Skills as technical skills: Microsoft Office proficiency. However we need to avoid duplication; but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can include them in appropriate sections without duplication. We could put Microsoft Office under Skills, and communication/critical thinking under Requirements or Qualifications. Let's decide.
Requirements: mandatory items (education, years experience, direct experience, demonstrated experience managing multi-billion-dollar programs, strong understanding of funding mechanisms, deep knowledge of delivery models, experience administering federally funded programs, demonstrated success developing client relationships, experience leading strategic growth initiatives, ability to communicate with executives, proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, strong critical thinking, excellent written/verbal communication, proficiency with Microsoft Office, willingness to travel). That's many.
Qualifications: highly preferred items: former executive role, experience overseeing administration of federally funded programs under specific agencies, existing relationships with infrastructure owners etc.
Skills: maybe we could list "Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)" as a skill. But that's already in requirements. To avoid duplication, we could put Microsoft Office under Skills and not repeat in Requirements. But then we lose that detail from requirements. However we could keep it in both? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication may be okay but better to avoid redundancy. We could include Microsoft Office in Skills and not list it under Requirements; but then we lose the explicit mention of proficiency with Microsoft Office as a requirement. However we could still include it under Requirements as part of "Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications" but then also list under Skills; duplication but still preserves info. Might be acceptable. However better to avoid duplication but still preserve. Could put Microsoft Office under Skills and mention that proficiency is required; but we still need to convey that it's required. Could phrase in Skills: "Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) – required". That preserves.
Similarly, communication and critical thinking could be under Skills as well. But we already have them in Requirements. Might be okay to duplicate.
Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications and Skills into one section? But headings are prescribed; we must use them if we have content. We could have Requirements (mandatory), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (technical). That's three sections.
Let's extract content precisely.
First, About the role: We'll combine the introductory paragraphs up to "YOUR TEAM." maybe.
Original text:
"Job Description As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do! CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Advisory Director to join the team in our Bethesda office. CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week."
Then "YOUR TEAM. CohnReznick's Government & Public Sector Advisory practice is looking for leaders who thrive in complex, high-visibility environments, helping public agencies plan, deliver, and oversee critical infrastructure investments. We work alongside clients to solve challenging problems, navigate competing stakeholder interests, and turn ambitious infrastructure goals into measurable results for the communities they serve. Our professionals help government agencies and public entities navigate the challenges of delivering large-scale, state and federally funded capital programs. Through services including program oversight, construction integrity monitoring, grants management, risk management, and project finance, we help transform public funding into lasting infrastructure and community impact."
Then "WHY COHNREZNICK? ..." That's about benefits/culture.
Then "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities ..." then list.
Then "Your Experience." then list.
Then "Highly Preferred" etc.
Then salary range etc.
Then other boilerplate.
We need to remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc.
Thus About the role could be the first paragraph(s) up to "YOUR TEAM." maybe combine the firm description and role location/hybrid.
We'll produce a paragraph that includes: CohnReznick is a top professional services firm offering advisory, assurance, tax; they help organizations optimize performance etc.; they have offices nationwide, serve worldwide as Nexia member; exciting opportunity for Advisory Director in Bethesda office; hybrid position, expected in-office ~3 days a week.

Now Responsibilities: list from "Responsibilities include but not limited to:" bullet points.
