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 with real content. We need to parse the job description. We have: - Intro about firm, but not needed as a section? Possibly "About the role" could be the description paragraph after "YOUR TEAM." Actually the instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions). So we need to strip out the EEO statements, the "Universal Job Standards" paragraph, the "In Maryland, the salary range..." is salary info, we need to include Pay section if present. Also "Benefits" section if present. The description 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." That's benefits. 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, and access to best-in-class learning and development platforms, to name a few." So we can combine benefits. Schedule: The posting mentions hybrid, expected in office average 3 days a week. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section. Pay: Salary range $116,000 to $160,000 (Maryland). Also mention actual compensation dependent on skills etc. So we can include Pay section. Responsibilities: The bullet list under "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To". We'll list each as

  • . Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "Your Experience." section lists qualifications. Could split into Requirements (education, years experience) and Qualifications (specific skills) and Skills (technical). But we need to decide. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements, Qualifications, Skills into one section maybe "Requirements" or "Qualifications". But they gave examples of possible headings. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for Responsibilities, Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications (skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? Might be okay but we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine into a single "Requirements" section that includes education, experience, skills, etc. But they also have separate headings examples; we can choose to include only those we need. Let's think: The posting includes: - Bachelor's degree required. - 8-10 years experience in corporate communications etc. - Experience supporting communications for senior executives and working with highly confidential business information. - Exceptional writing, editing, proofreading, storytelling skills. - Strong experience developing executive communications, presentations, speeches, videos. - Demonstrated ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution. - Proven success managing multiple projects, competing priorities, changing deadlines. - Strong stakeholder management skills... - Ability to translate leadership priorities into clear, engaging communications... - Advanced PowerPoint and visual communications skills... - Strong project management and organizational skills... - Excellent judgment, diplomacy, discretion, attention to detail. - Experience collaborating with creative teams, agencies, cross-functional stakeholders. - Familiarity with media relations and PR processes. - Experience supporting crisis communications, change management, and/or M&A communications preferred. - Prior experience within accounting, consulting, legal, financial services, or another professional services organization strongly preferred. - Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly PowerPoint and Excel. - Experience with Microsoft Copilot (or similar enterprise AI platforms) with a commitment to leveraging AI tools... - Demonstrated critical thinking in AI use cases... Thus many skill items. We could have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (education + experience), Skills (the list), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That seems reasonable and not too many. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We need to strip out boilerplate: The "Universal Job Standards" paragraph, the EEO statements, the "CohnReznick is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also the "In Maryland,the salary range..." we keep for Pay. The "To learn more about life at CohnReznick, visit Life at CohnReznick "CohnReznick" is the brand name..." that's boilerplate about firm description; we might keep some of the firm description? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The firm description at start might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly legal; it's about the firm. Might be considered part of "About the role"? But they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. The intro about firm could be considered "About the role" or maybe we can include a short paragraph under an "About the role" heading. However they said "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we could have an About the role section with a paragraph summarizing the role and firm context. That seems appropriate. Thus we will have sections: - About the role (maybe a brief paragraph describing the role and firm context) - Responsibilities (ul) - Requirements (education + experience) maybe as ul - Skills (ul) - Benefits (ul) - Pay (p) - Schedule (p) We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content. Now we need to extract the content. About the role: Could combine the paragraphs after "YOUR TEAM." and before "WHY COHNREZNICK?" Actually the description includes: "YOUR TEAM. Creating opportunities for our people is a core component of CohnReznick’s mission and purpose. As Corporate Communications Manager reporting to the Senior Manager, Corporate Marketing, you will develop integrated communications strategies and content that advance business priorities, elevate the brand, and foster connection, engagement, and alignment across the organization. With a commitment to strategic and collaborative leadership, you will bring deep experience in messaging strategy, stakeholder engagement, and people mentorship, with a proven ability to manage sensitive, high-visibility projects." That's a good description of the role. Also earlier there is intro about firm: "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 Corporate Communications Manager to join the Corporate Marketing team. 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." That could be part of About the role or maybe separate "About the firm". But we only have headings list; we could put that in About the role as well. Thus About the role section will contain a couple paragraphs: firm overview and role description. Now Responsibilities: list from "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To" then bullet list. Let's extract each bullet: - Write, edit, and coordinate approvals for internal and external communications content, including presentations, publications, talking points, video scripts, press releases, and social media posts in support of firm goals and initiatives. - Manage communications requests and provide editorial guidance and writing support to ensure consistency, accuracy, and alignment with brand standards and business objectives. - Manage corporate campaigns including developing assets, leading projects, and working with multiple stakeholders. - Partner with Senior Manager to develop strategies and content to advance firm’s People & Culture goals. - Manage awards, surveys, and rankings submissions. - Own firm communications calendar, leading scheduling and channel strategy to ensure timely and effective delivery of communications across the firm. - Manage relationships with brand and public relations agencies, including messaging reviews, approvals, and project coordination. - Collaborate with creative and digital marketing teams to develop effective communications assets and content. - Manage multiple priorities and shifting deadlines while delivering high-quality work in a fast-paced environment. - Share recommendations to improve communications effectiveness, processes, and stakeholder engagement. - Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, flexibility, and continuous improvement. Now Requirements: Education and experience. - Bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, Marketing, or a related field required. - 8-10 years of experience in corporate communications, executive communications, public relations, or marketing communications, within a professional services, consulting, accounting, or other similar organization. - Experience supporting communications for senior executives and working with highly confidential business information. We could also include "Prior experience within accounting, consulting, legal, financial services, or another professional services organization strongly preferred." but that's more of a preference; could go under Requirements or Skills. We'll keep under Requirements as a bullet maybe. Now Skills: list of skills. - Exceptional writing, editing, proofreading, and storytelling skills across a variety of audiences and formats. - Strong experience developing executive communications, presentations, speeches, and videos. - Demonstrated ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution. - Proven success managing multiple projects, competing priorities, and changing deadlines in a fast-paced environment. - Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to build trusted relationships across all levels of the organization. - Ability to translate leadership priorities into clear, engaging communications for employees, clients, and external stakeholders. - Advanced PowerPoint and visual communications skills with experience creating executive-level presentations and communications materials. - Strong project management and organizational skills, including experience managing editorial calendars and communications plans. - Excellent judgment, diplomacy, discretion, and attention to detail. - Experience collaborating with creative teams, agencies, and cross-functional stakeholders. - Familiarity with media relations and public relations processes. - Experience supporting crisis communications, change management, and/or merger and acquisition communications preferred. - Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly PowerPoint and Excel. - Experience with Microsoft Copilot (or similar enterprise AI platforms) with a commitment to leveraging AI tools to enhance productivity and communication effectiveness. - Demonstrated critical thinking in AI use cases to maintain accuracy, authenticity, and trust. Now Benefits: from "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." plus 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, and access to best-in-class learning and development platforms, to
