We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, EEO, legal, application instructions, duplicated lines.
We need to parse the job description.
Key sections:
- POSITION SUMMARY: Attest Services-IT Intern (but we don't repeat job title as heading). The summary: "As an IT Audit Assurance Intern at Grant Thornton, your primary responsibility will be to delivering a full range of IT audit services to our clients. This includes testing and assessment of information systems control review engagements in support of financial statement audits. You will work alongside Partners, Managers, and Senior Executives as a member of the engagement team."
That's prose, could be under "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". The summary is more about role. We'll put under

We could group some as "Qualifications". Could also separate "Skills" but we can keep as Qualifications.
- About Us: description about firm. Could be under
About the firm
maybe "About Us". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't list About Us but we could still include if content. However they said "usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. We can include About Us as a heading if we think it's appropriate. But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might combine About Us into About the role? Probably better to have About the role (summary) and Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. Benefits we have details. - Benefits: we have details about benefits for internship positions. We'll include
Benefits
with- .
Benefits list:
- Grant Thornton interns are eligible to participate in the firm’s medical, dental and vision insurance programs and the firm’s employee assistance program.
- Interns also receive a minimum of 72 hours of paid sick leave.
- Interns are paid for firm holidays that fall within their internship period.
Also mention seasonal employees but that's not relevant to intern; we can ignore or include but it's still benefits. Might include both but it's okay.
- Pay: Not mentioned. No pay/salary info. So we should NOT create Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; there is hybrid work model: "Consistent with the firm's hybrid work model, this position will require in-person attendance at least three days per week, either at a GT office or client site." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail.
- Also there is mention of work location, weekly schedule, flex time off etc. Under About The Team: "Whether it's your work location, weekly schedule, or flex time off, we empower you with the options to work the way that it best serves your clients and your life." That's also schedule/flex. We'll include schedule details.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly also About Us/Team but we can incorporate into About the role or skip to keep few sections.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, duplicated lines. Remove the "About Us" paragraph that is generic? It contains some info about firm size etc. Might be considered substantive but could be omitted to keep sections thin. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit substantive info. The "About Us" paragraph includes details about firm revenue, offices, etc. That's substantive. Should we include? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep that info. Where to put? Could be under
About the firm
(or About Us). Since they gave examples but not exclusive, we can add About the firm heading. Similarly "About The Team" includes info about work location, schedule, flex time, well-being, benefits, inclusion, etc. Some of that overlaps with Benefits and Schedule. We'll need to avoid duplication. We'll extract unique substantive info. Let's list all substantive paragraphs: From POSITION SUMMARY: we have. Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list. Qualifications: list. About Us: paragraph about Grant Thornton, belief, etc. Contains: "At Grant Thornton, we believe in making business more personal and building trust into every result – for our clients and you. Here, we go beyond your expectations of a career in professional services by offering a career path with more: more opportunity, more flexibility, and more support. It’s what makes us different, and we think being different makes us better. In the U.S., Grant Thornton delivers professional services through two specialized entities: Grant Thornton LLP, a licensed, certified public accounting (CPA) firm that provides audit and assurance services ― and Grant Thornton Advisors LLC (not a licensed CPA firm), which exclusively provides non-attest offerings, including tax and advisory services. In 2025, Grant Thornton formed a multinational, multidisciplinary platform with Grant Thornton Ireland. The platform offers a premier Trans-Atlantic advisory and tax practice, as well as independent American and Irish audit practices. With $2.7 billion in revenues and more than 50 offices spanning the U.S., Ireland and other territories, the platform delivers a singular client experience that includes enhanced solutions and capabilities, backed by powerful technologies and a roster of 12,000 quality-driven professionals enjoying exceptional career-growth opportunities and a distinctive cross-border culture. Grant Thornton is part of the Grant Thornton International Limited network, which provides access to its member firms in more than 150 global markets." That's substantive. About The Team: paragraph: "The team you’re about to join is ready to help you thrive. Here’s how: Whether it's your work location, weekly schedule, or flex time off, we empower you with the options to work the way that it best serves your clients and your life. Consistent with the firm's hybrid work model, this position will require in-person attendance at least three days per week, either at a GT office or client site. Here, you are supported to prioritize your overall well-being through work-life integration options that work best for you and those in your household. We understand that your needs, responsibilities and experiences are different — and we think that’s a good thing. That’s why we support you with personalized and comprehensive benefits that recognize and empower all the identities, roles and aspirations that make you, well, you. See how at www.gt.com/careers When it comes to inclusion, we are committed to doing more than checking boxes. Explore all the ways we’re taking action for diversity, equity & inclusion at www.gt.com/careers Here’s what you can expect next: If you apply and are selected to interview, a Grant Thornton team member will reach out to you to schedule a time to connect. We encourage you to also check out other roles that may be a good fit for you or get to know us a little bit better at www.gt.com/careers." We need to remove application instructions like "If you apply and are selected to interview, a Grant Thornton team member will reach out to you to schedule a time to connect." That's application instruction; should be removed. Also "We encourage you to also check out other roles..." also application instruction. Also "See how at www.gt.com/careers" maybe considered a link but it's not boilerplate; it's a reference to benefits page. Might be okay but could be considered navigation? It's a link to careers page; maybe we keep as it's part of benefits description. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "See how at www.gt.com/careers" is a navigation link; might be considered navigation. Safer to remove URLs. Also "Explore all the ways we’re taking action for diversity, equity & inclusion at www.gt.com/careers" also navigation. Remove. Thus we keep the substantive sentences about work location, schedule, flex time, hybrid model, in-person attendance 3 days/week, well-being, work-life integration, personalized benefits, inclusion commitment (but we can keep the statement about commitment without URL). We'll keep: "Whether it's your work location, weekly schedule, or flex time off, we empower you with the options to work the way that it best serves your clients and your life." "Consistent with the firm's hybrid work model, this position will require in-person attendance at least three days per week, either at a GT office or client site." "Here, you are supported to prioritize your overall well-being through work-life integration options that work best for you and those in your household." "We understand that your needs, responsibilities and experiences are different — and we think that’s a good thing. That’s why we support you with personalized and comprehensive benefits that recognize and empower all the identities, roles and aspirations that make you, well, you." "When it comes to inclusion, we are committed to doing more than checking boxes." (We can keep that sentence without URL.) Now Benefits section we already have details from Benefits paragraph. Also note that the About The Team also mentions personalized and comprehensive benefits; we already have benefits details. We must not duplicate. We'll keep Benefits section with the specific benefits listed. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Structure:About the role
