AccountingFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes a description: "Accelerate the possible..." That's more like company overview. The job description includes Position Overview: Responsibilities etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Accelerate the possible by joining a winning Amcor team..." That's like company overview. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role description. But we have "Position Overview:" then "Responsibilities". The "Position Overview" could be considered "About the role". We'll treat that as About the role. Then "Responsibilities" heading appears: "Position Overview: Responsibilities This Shared Services role ..." Actually the text: "Position Overview: Responsibilities This Shared Services role is part of the North America ...". So we have responsibilities content. Then later there is "Essential Responsibilities And Duties" with subcategories: Financial Reporting & General Accounting, Financial Management, Internal Controls And Compliance, Team Leadership & Talent Development. Those are more detailed responsibilities. Then "Education Qualifications:" then "Experience" etc. That's qualifications and requirements. Then "Competencies" sections: Amcor Leadership Framework Competencies etc. Those could be Skills. Then "Relationships" maybe not needed. Then "ADA Requirements Physical Requirements" etc. That's not needed. Then "Work Environment: Office Environment" maybe not needed. Then "Our Expectations" etc. Not needed. Then "Equal Opportunity Employer..." boilerplate to remove. Then "Benefits" section: "When you join Amcor, you will have access to a comprehensive benefits and compensation package that includes:" then list. Thus we have sections: About the role (position overview), Responsibilities (including essential responsibilities), Requirements (maybe education qualifications + experience), Qualifications (maybe overlapping), Skills (competencies), Benefits. Pay and Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No job ID. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, etc. Must remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:

About the role

... content from Position Overview ...

Responsibilities

  • ... each responsibility bullet ...
We need to decide granularity: Could combine essential responsibilities into list items. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each responsibility statement as separate list item, but we can combine similar? The instruction: "Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". It doesn't forbid combining multiple sentences into one li, but we should preserve all detail. Could break into multiple li for clarity. Let's extract responsibilities from the text. First block after "Position Overview: Responsibilities This Shared Services role is part of the North America (“NA”) Beverage Rigid Packaging Solutions (“RPS”) Business Group (“BG”) and reports to the BG Controller. The critical responsibilities of this role are as follows:" then list: - Lead NA BG Shared Services financial reporting and accounting functions supporting 3 BG’s by ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting in compliance with US GAAP and Amcor policies - Manage the accounting, budgeting, and forecasting for Significant Items and Restructuring programs including monthly actual and forecast reporting to corporate - Execute balance sheet reviews and coordinate monthly tracking of risks and opportunities - Support the annual strategic and operating plans, monthly forecasting, and actual reporting cycles while ensuring ensure compliance with internal controls and adherence to corporate deadlines - Streamline processes for establishing, measuring and delivering upon BG financial objectives; deliver information and analysis to support proactive management decision making - Lead team of 7 direct/indirect reports; provide functional leadership by fostering teamwork, providing coaching and developing team members - Act as a change agent within RPS finance community identifying and driving best practices - Assist with special project activities including complex technical accounting matters, M&A activities, business improvement projects, restructuring programs, working capital initiatives, etc. Then "Essential Responsibilities And Duties" with subheadings: Financial Reporting & General Accounting: - Oversee Financial Reporting team including capital accounting team, ensuring proper recording for all costs, depreciation and creation of fixed assets; tooling and dunnage amortization, and financial planning and analysis for the shared services group - Oversee General Ledger Accounting team including journal entries preparation and account reconciliation processes supporting approximately 23 locations - Review and Approve Journal Entries and Account Reconciliations while ensuring integrity and accuracy of financial results - Manage preparation and validation of management reports and presentation materials for monthly / quarterly reporting, Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR’s), Supplemental Reports (SPR’s), Quality of Earnings, Strategic Risk Assessments and similar - Partner with BU management and other stakeholders to meet their information needs and accomplish reporting objectives - Support the development and execution of the BG requirements relating to the annual budget and strategic plan processes as well as monthly forecast - Lead and continuously improve the monthly closing, consolidation and reporting cycle - Develop and deliver management financial and operational performance reporting - Oversee the administration of the SAP-BPC Financial Consolidation system used for the company’s monthly reporting, operating plan and strategic plan. - Coordinate with Amcor Group Tax on Completion of ARP BG consolidated tax reporting requirements - Collaborate with Corporate on technical accounting matters to obtain alignment on technical accounting conclusions as necessary Financial Management: - Drive outperformance planning, financial initiatives and best practice implementation across BU’s and functions - Ensure all aspects of sound fiscal management of the BG operations, incorporating treasury and cash flow management and financial planning - Identify and drive best practices, promoting the implementation of new requirements and process improvements - Benchmark financial metrics and identify opportunities to improve performance. - Support the implementation of new business processes, systems, policies, and procedures.

Team Leadership & Talent Development: - Lead, manage and develop team of accounting and reporting professionals team members - Attract, retain, engage, motivate and develop bench strength within the team to enable internal promotion and transfer as opportunities arise We need to include all these as list items under Responsibilities. Now Requirements/Qualifications/Education. We have "Education Qualifications: Minimum undergraduate degree in Accounting or Finance Professional accreditation preferred (CPA, CA or similar) Experience 10 years of accounting and reporting experience in an international environment; experience; experience with SEC reporting and manufacturing strongly preferred Experience leading and managing a team of direct and indirect professionals Strong technical knowledge of US GAAP accounting and tax; ability to effectively communicate complex matters to non-technical audience Strong interpersonal and decision-making skills Fluency in English (written and spoken) Effective communicator at all levels with strong oral, written & influencing skills" Also later "Competencies" sections: Amcor Leadership Framework Competencies Core Competencies Customer Focus Learning on the Fly Interpersonal Savvy Drive for Results 3-5 Applicable ALF Competencies Priority Setting Functional/Technical Skills Dealing with Ambiguity Organizing Process Management Required Finance Competencies Financial reporting / consolidation Financial, planning and analysis responsibility in a multi-national public company setting Shared service / transactional accounting management and collaboration Internal controls responsibility Profitability performance Standards & procedures alignment Restructuring program oversight Project management Required Leadership Competencies Strategic agility and problem-solving capability Strong communications skills – interpersonal, presentation, written, spoken Strong business acumen Drive for results Ability to lead and build effective teams; maintain effective relationships with all key stakeholders These could be considered Skills. We need sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting has Education Qualifications and Experience (which could be Requirements). Then Competencies (Skills). We'll separate. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". We have content. Thus:

    Requirements

    • Minimum undergraduate degree in Accounting or Finance
    • Professional accreditation preferred (CPA, CA or similar)
    • 10 years of accounting and reporting experience in an international environment
    • Experience with SEC reporting and manufacturing strongly preferred
    • Experience leading and managing a team of direct and indirect professionals
    • Strong technical knowledge of US GAAP accounting and tax; ability to effectively communicate complex matters to non-technical audience
    • Strong interpersonal and decision-making skills
    • Fluency in English (written and spoken)
    • Effective communicator at all levels with strong oral, written & influencing skills

    Qualifications

    maybe we could combine with Requirements? But we have both Education Qualifications and Experience; maybe we treat Education Qualifications as Qualifications and Experience as Requirements. However the instruction: Use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have both Education Qualifications and Experience; we could put them under Qualifications (education) and Requirements (experience). But we already used Requirements for education+experience. Let's think: The posting says "Education Qualifications:" then "Experience". So we could have a section "Qualifications" for education and professional accreditation, and "Requirements" for experience and skills. But we also have Skills separate. Better: Use "Qualifications" for education and professional accreditation. Use "Requirements" for experience (years, SEC reporting, team leadership, technical knowledge, interpersonal skills, fluency, communication). Use "Skills" for competencies. Thus:
