Director, Technical Accounting and Reporting

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes a description before description about company, then "Role Description". We need sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Use

for each section heading. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate (EEO, accommodations, privacy, etc). Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove "Humanity is a cornerstone..."? That's part of benefits description; we can keep benefits. Also "To build America’s energy future..." is part of benefits? Actually it's a statement about diversity; could be considered EEO boilerplate; we should remove. Also "We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer..." remove. Also "If you may require reasonable accommodations..." remove. Also "Form Energy is committed to maintaining the privacy..." remove. Also "Compensation Range:" we need Pay section. We need to extract content: Company intro: "Are you ready to build America’s energy future? Form Energy is an American manufacturing and energy technology company. We’re revolutionizing energy storage with cost-effective, multi-day technology designed to keep the electric grid secure and reliable, even during extended periods of stress. By strengthening the electric system and reimagining what’s possible, we’re giving clean energy a whole new form! In recent years, Form Energy has earned a number of accolades, including being named by TIME as a “Best Invention”, MIT Technology Review as a “Top Climate Tech Company To Watch”, and Fast Company as “One of the Next Big Things In Tech”. We are making rapid progress on our mission of delivering energy storage for a better world, and our team is growing just as rapidly to meet demand. We have signed contracts with leading electric utilities across the United States and production of our iron-air batteries is underway at our first high-volume manufacturing facility in West Virginia. Working for Form Energy is more than just a job, it’s a chance to be part of something extraordinary. And now - right as we significantly scale up battery manufacturing - might be the most exciting moment in the company’s history to join. We are assembling a team of highly talented and driven individuals across the country. Driven by our core values of humanity, excellence, and creativity, our team is determined to deliver on our mission and transform the energy landscape for the better. Feeling energized to make a meaningful impact on the world? Then keep reading - you’ve come to the right place." That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put company overview under "About the role". That seems appropriate. Then "Role Description" heading: we have "Role Description Form energy is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Director of Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting. In this critical leadership role, you will be the principal subject matter expert for U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting. You will oversee the preparation and filing of all external financial reports, lead complex technical accounting assessments, and ensure compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) controls. This role requires a proactive leader with a strong public accounting background, deep technical expertise, and the ability to partner cross-functionally with Legal, Investor Relations, FP&A, and executive leadership. This role is hybrid and will need to work from either our Berkeley, CA, Somerville, MA, or Weirton, WV office 3 days per week." That could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Actually it's more about role overview. Could be part of About the role. But we already used About the role for company overview. Maybe we split: About the role includes company overview and role overview. Then Responsibilities: the bullet list under "What You'll Do". Then Requirements: maybe "What You'll Bring Required". Then Qualifications? Could be same as Requirements? The instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections if there is content. We have "Required" and "Preferred". Could treat Required as Requirements, Preferred as Qualifications or Skills. Also Skills: maybe communication etc. Benefits: we have benefits description. Pay: compensation range. Schedule: hybrid 3 days per week (maybe schedule). We'll include Schedule section. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format as lists. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, accommodations, privacy, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Humanity is a cornerstone..."? That is part of benefits description but it's also a value statement; we can keep it as part of Benefits maybe. But it's not a benefit per se; it's a cultural statement. However it's part of the paragraph about compensation and benefits. We'll keep it within Benefits section. We must not include "To build America’s energy future, we need everyone at the table. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer..." remove. Also remove "If you may require reasonable accommodations..." etc. Also remove "Form Energy is committed to maintaining the privacy of our applicants..." etc. Also remove "Compensation Range:" line? We'll keep the range in Pay section. Now craft HTML. Structure:

But we need to preserve the exact wording? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the substance but we can rephrase? It says do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing may be considered summarizing away detail? Safer to keep the original bullet points as they appear, maybe as separate list items for each bullet under each subheading. The original had headings: SEC & External Financial Reporting, Technical Accounting & Policy, Audit, Controls, & Compliance, Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership. We could keep those as subheadings inside the Responsibilities section using

? But instruction only mentions using

for section headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but we could just keep them as bold text inside

. However to preserve detail, we could keep them as part of the

text. Simplify: create

• for each duty as separate line items, preserving the original phrasing.
