We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the team? Actually the posting starts with "About The Team". According to rules: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can use other headings if content matches. The posting includes sections: About The Team, What you will do (with subsections Indirect Tax Lead..., Federal & International Tax Compliance..., Tax Strategy & Planning..., Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership), Your profile (requirements), Salary info (Pay), Benefits, Schedule (hybrid schedule). Also there is other boilerplate to remove: scam alert, AI policy, EEO, etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Director of Tax (implied). Not needed.
We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we will have:
- About the Team (maybe heading "About the Team") but they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. "About the Team" is similar to About the role? We'll use

About The Team paragraph:
"We are looking for an exceptional Director of Tax to join Turo's Finance organization. This is a high-impact, highly visible leadership role that will own the full global tax function—initially focusing on rebuilding and elevating our indirect tax practice, then expanding over time to encompass all aspects of tax strategy, compliance, and planning. This person will be a critical partner to the SVP of Finance (Head of Tax) and will serve as a senior technical resource and people leader within the function. The ideal candidate is a seasoned tax professional who has operated in fast-paced, high-growth marketplace or platform environments, brings deep expertise in both indirect and direct tax, and has the leadership presence and intellectual horsepower to lead the Tax function. This role reports to the SVP of Finance (Head of Tax) and will work closely with Finance, Legal, Accounting, FP&A, and Product."
We'll keep that as a paragraph under About the Team.
What you will do: includes several subsections.
We need to preserve all bullet points. The text is in prose with line breaks. We'll convert each sentence or clause into - items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify lists. The "What you will do" section includes multiple bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually the text:
"What you will do Indirect Tax Lead the rebuild and continued development of Turo's global indirect tax function, including U.S. sales and use tax across all jurisdictions, airports, and international VAT/GST programsOwn the end-to-end marketplace facilitator tax compliance strategy, including nexus analysis, registration, collection, remittance, and audit defense across all 50 states and internationallyMonitor and interpret evolving marketplace facilitator laws, digital services taxes, state-by-state legislative changes, and airport agreements; assess their impact on Turo's platform and host/guest transactionsPartner with Product and Engineering to ensure tax logic is correctly implemented in Turo's platform, pricing, and invoicing systemsOversee indirect tax controversies, audits, and inquiries from tax authorities and airports, and support the existing team on the development and execution of audit defense strategiesOversee the ASC 450 contingent liability reserves related to indirect tax exposures; ensure reserves are properly documented and defensible Federal & International Tax Compliance Oversee the preparation and timely filing of U.S. federal and state income tax returns, including all international information reporting Manage Turo's quarterly and annual ASC 740 income tax provision process, including deferred taxes, valuation allowances, and uncertain tax positions (FIN 48/ASC 740-10)Ensure SOX-compliant internal controls over all tax reporting processes and interface effectively with external auditorsOversee transfer pricing documentation and intercompany policies for cross-border transactions; partner with outside advisors on required documentationMonitor OECD/BEPS 2.0 and Pillar Two developments; assess impact on Turo's global structure and effective tax rate Tax Strategy & Planning Develop and execute a comprehensive global tax strategy aligned with Turo's business objectives and growth plansAdvise leadership on the tax implications of corporate structure decisions, new market entry, product launches, and international expansionIdentify and implement strategic tax planning opportunities to optimize Turo's effective tax rateSupport M&A due diligence and post-acquisition integration efforts from a tax perspective Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership Lead, mentor, and develop the tax team; build a high-performance culture with a focus on career development and technical growthServe as internal expert and advisor on all tax matters; translate complex tax issues into clear, actionable guidance for non-tax stakeholdersCollaborate closely with Finance, Accounting, Legal, and Product teams to align tax strategy with business prioritiesManage relationships with external advisors, law firms, and tax technology vendors"
It seems there are no explicit bullet characters; it's just paragraphs. But we can treat each major heading (Indirect Tax, Federal & International Tax Compliance, Tax Strategy & Planning, Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership) as subheadings? However rule says use
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It didn't forbid using other headings like but we should stick to for main sections. Within Responsibilities we can use - for each duty. We'll need to split duties into list items.
We can extract each duty sentence:
