Director, Technical Accounting

We need to output only HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: company description? It's part of posting but maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company description maybe not boilerplate but it's part of posting. It's not a section heading; we can include as a

maybe under an "About the company"? But we only have allowed headings list; we can still include paragraphs without heading. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow that pattern. Likely we should create sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description intro), Responsibilities (the bullet list of duties), Requirements/Qualifications (combined?), Skills maybe separate, Benefits, Pay. We need to include only sections with real content. Let's parse content: Company Description: paragraph about ServiceNow. Job Description: "ServiceNow is seeking a Director, Technical Accounting to lead our Technical Accounting team in our next phase of growth. This is a high-profile position that will play a critical role in addressing a wide variety of complex technical accounting matters, lead purchase accounting for an active M&A pipeline, and other related topics. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders throughout the Company to ensure the successful execution of key initiatives within the Finance organization. This role will report to the Sr. Director, Technical Accounting and M&A, who has responsibility for all technical accounting matters and leads Finance’s M&A process from diligence through integration." Then "What You Get To Do In This Role" followed by bullet list (actually sentences separated by semicolons). We'll treat as list items. Then "Qualifications" heading with list of qualifications. Then "For positions in this location, we offer a base pay of $184,100 - $322,200, plus equity (when applicable), variable/incentive compensation and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure. Please note that the base pay shown is a guideline, and individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location. We also offer health plans, including flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) Plan with company match, ESPP, matching donations, a flexible time away plan and family leave programs. Compensation is based on the geographic location in which the role is located and is subject to change based on work location." Then Additional Information sections: Work Personas, Equal Opportunity Employer, Accommodations, Export Control Regulations, From Fortune. Those are boilerplate/legal; we should remove. Thus we need sections: - About the role: could be the Job Description intro paragraph (the first paragraph after Job Description). Or maybe "About the role" includes that description. - Responsibilities: the bullet list under "What You Get To Do In This Role". - Qualifications: the list under "Qualifications". - Skills: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications (e.g., Strong technical accounting background, knowledge of US GAAP, etc.) but we could also combine Qualifications and Skills. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section "Qualifications & Skills". But headings list includes both Qualifications and Skills separate. We could still include both if they have content. Let's see if we can separate: Qualifications: education, experience, CPA, etc. Skills: technical accounting background, communication, relationship builder, organizational skills, etc. The qualifications list includes many skill-like items. Might be better to have one "Qualifications" section containing all. Then we could omit Skills section to avoid thin. - Benefits: we have health plans etc. Also mention equity, variable/incentive compensation. So we can have Benefits section. - Pay: base pay range. - Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section because no content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the sections. Let's extract About the role prose: "ServiceNow is seeking a Director, Technical Accounting to lead our Technical Accounting team in our next phase of growth. This is a high-profile position that will play a critical role in addressing a wide variety of complex technical accounting matters, lead purchase accounting for an active M&A pipeline, and other related topics. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders throughout the Company to ensure the successful execution of key initiatives within the Finance organization. This role will report to the Sr. Director, Technical Accounting and M&A, who has responsibility for all technical accounting matters and leads Finance’s M&A process from diligence through integration." We'll put that in a

  About the role

• . Some items have internal semicolons; that's fine. Qualifications: list from "To be successful in this role you have:" then bullet list. Let's extract each line: - Total experience of minimum 12 years with a minimum of 5 years of Big Four public accounting experience - BS/BA degree in Finance or Accounting and active CPA license is required - Sr. Manager role in a Big Four public accounting firm and/or Director, Technical Accounting at a public company - Positive, service-oriented attitude, highly motivated to learn and to make an impact within the organization - Experience leading a team and being a mentor to high-performing individuals - Strong technical accounting background with a knowledge of US GAAP, SEC reporting standards, and SOX 404, as well as experience with technical research - Excellent verbal/written communication and presentation skills - Relationship builder across all levels of the organization - Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders (Finance, Legal, Corporate Development) on technical accounting positions without direct authority - Strong organizational skills to manage numerous workstreams at once and complete work timely - Self-starter and a great team member - Proactive approach to identifying root causes and implementing durable solutions, including escalation when appropriate - Ability to be flexible and work analytically in a dynamic environment - Meticulous and superior attention to detail - Strong Excel knowledge - Familiarity with emerging AI tools for accounting automation is valued - Experience with SAP or other large ERP systems is a plus We'll put each as

  Qualifications

  . Benefits: from paragraph after pay: "We also offer health plans, including flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) Plan with company match, ESPP, matching donations, a flexible time away plan and family leave programs." Also earlier: "plus equity (when applicable), variable/incentive compensation and benefits." So benefits include equity, variable/incentive compensation, health plans, 401(k) match, ESPP, matching donations, flexible time away, family leave. We'll list as
  • . Pay: base pay range: "$184,100 - $322,200". Also note that base pay shown is guideline etc. We should include that note as prose maybe. The instruction: preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the note about base pay being a guideline and individual total compensation varying based on qualifications, skill level, competencies, work location. Also mention that compensation based on geographic location and subject to change. We'll include that in a

    under Pay section. We should not include the sentence about Sales positions OTE because it's not relevant to this role (maybe still substantive but it's about sales positions; we could keep but it's not about this role. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a generic statement. Safer to omit? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The sentence about Sales positions is part of the posting; it's substantive but not about this role. However it's still part of the posting. I'd include it as a note maybe under Pay or Benefits? It says "Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure." Since this is not a sales role, maybe it's irrelevant but still part of posting. I'd include it as a

    under Pay as additional note. We must not include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity Employer etc. Now construct HTML. We'll output:
