We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Must not repeat job title. Must not include metadata like location list as heading; we can fold into short p. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information.
We need to parse the posting: It includes location list at top: "Location: New York, Jericho, Hoboken, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Irvine". Then description about EY, purpose, etc. Then "The opportunity ..." etc. Then details about SALT team, Tax Senior responsibilities, etc. Then "Key responsibilities include:" list. Then "Your Key Responsibilities" repeated? Actually there is a section "Your Key Responsibilities" then bullet list. Then later "As a Senior in Indirect Tax, you will contribute..." etc. Then "Skills And Attributes For Success" list. Then "To qualify for the role, you must have..." list. Then "Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model..." includes schedule info: expectation 60% in person. Also mentions travel as required. Then "What We Look For" paragraph. Then "Are you ready..." repeated. Then "What We Offer You At EY..." includes compensation and benefits, base salary ranges per location, total rewards package, vacation policy, etc. Then more boilerplate about application limits, etc. Then values, EEO, accommodation info.
We need to keep substantive info: role description, responsibilities, qualifications/requirements, skills, benefits, pay, schedule (hybrid model, travel). Must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, application instructions, values, etc.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section: we have base salary ranges; we can include that. Benefits: mention medical/dental, pension/401k, paid time off, flexible vacation policy. Schedule: hybrid model expectation 60% in person, travel as required.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. Likely we have About the role (description), Responsibilities, Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide headings.

then paragraph summarizing the role description (the EY purpose, SALT team, Tax Senior role). Must preserve all substantive info; we cannot summarize away detail, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should keep the details, not omit them, but we can rephrase? Summarizing away detail might be considered removing detail. Safer to keep the original sentences but maybe we can keep them as is within
. However we need to avoid duplication. There's some duplicated content: "Your Key Responsibilities" appears twice? Actually there is a list after "Key responsibilities include:" then later "Your Key Responsibilities" then bullet list. Then later "As a Senior in Indirect Tax, you will contribute..." which is more responsibilities. We need to combine but not lose detail. We could keep all responsibility statements in a
- list.
Similarly for qualifications: "To qualify for the role, you must have Bachelor’s degree required (4-year degree) with an emphasis in accounting, finance, or economics Typically, no less than 2 - 4 years relevant experience Demonstrated expertise..." etc. That's a list.
Skills: "Skills And Attributes For Success" list.
Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package where you’ll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to the business. The base salary range for this job is: ..." plus "In addition, our Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, and a wide range of paid time off options. Under our flexible vacation policy, you’ll decide how much vacation time you need based on your own personal circumstances. You’ll also be granted time off for designated EY Paid Holidays, Winter/Summer breaks, Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being."
Pay: base salary ranges per location.
Schedule: "Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model. Our expectation is for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project or year." Also "This position would need regular travel as required by external clients."
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:
About the role

Responsibilities
- ... each responsibility ...
Requirements

Skills
- ... each skill ...
Benefits
... benefits description ...
Pay
... salary ranges ...

... hybrid model and travel ...
We must ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info: So we need to include all responsibility statements, all requirements, all skills, all benefits, pay, schedule. Let's extract responsibilities from text: From "Key responsibilities include:" list: - Identifying opportunities for tax optimization, credits, and refund recovery, as well as exposure reduction. - Managing indirect tax strategies, compliance processes, remediation, controversies, and corrective filings. - Supporting tax process reviews and technology transformation to enhance service offerings. Then "Your Key Responsibilities" bullet list (looks like sentences): - You'll likely spend most of your time on a diverse array of projects, responsibilities, and tasks, with a focus on tax controversy and advisory matters. - To be successful in the role, you'll leverage your knowledge of state and local tax concepts and law while working in a highly collaborative culture where listening to and sharing information with colleagues is essential. - Contributing to the overall success of the team by developing a thorough understanding of EY methodologies and tools - Challenging traditional procedures and finding new approaches to address complex tax matters - Building client relationships and demonstrating your knowledge of the financial services industry - Staying abreast of state and local tax developments and emerging trends within the marketplace Then later: "As a Senior in Indirect Tax, you will contribute to the delivery of processes, solutions, and projects, applying sound judgment and selecting appropriate methodologies to inform recommendations. You’ll be accountable for meeting your own targets, which directly impact your immediate team, and may help coordinate the work of junior colleagues. You’ll define and execute deliverables, track project status, and maintain engagement economics reports. The role presents the challenge of working on complex issues where analysis of variable factors is required, and you’ll have the opportunity to learn through daily client interaction and exposure to diverse tax scenarios. This position would need regular travel as required by external clients. Make decisions based on broad policies, applying personal knowledge and experience to resolve issues. Implement procedures and guidelines, often working on complex issues requiring in-depth evaluation. Provide general guidance to others newer to the role or at a lower level." We need to include all these as responsibility items. Some are sentences; we can break into list items. Now requirements: "To qualify for the role, you must have Bachelor’s degree required (4-year degree) with an emphasis in accounting, finance, or economics Typically, no less than 2 - 4 years relevant experience Demonstrated expertise in tax legislation and impact assessment. Experience in indirect tax refund and recovery review. Proficiency in tax planning and optimization. Knowledge of audit quality and remediation techniques. Ability to drive process improvement and optimization. Experience in operating model design and analysis. Familiarity with credit modelling. Understanding of data quality, accounting principles, and standards. Skills in risk mitigation and data analysis/interpretation. Knowledge of tax compliance and reporting requirements. Ability to use data visualization and storytelling to communicate insights. Experience with application and tool analysis. Awareness of sustainability drivers and mega trends. Ability to build and manage relationships. Demonstrated client trust and value. Strong communication skills with impact. Emotional agility and hybrid collaboration skills. Complex problem-solving and critical thinking abilities. Proven ability to drive outcomes and demonstrate learning agility. Commercial acumen and experience leading teams." Also earlier: "Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model. Our expectation is for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project or year. Ideally, you’ll also have Experience communicating with clients about complicated tax questions and assembling and preparing the information necessary to respond to information document requests. Experience communicating with tax authorities, advocating on behalf of clients and writing persuasively. Experience maintaining reports for engagement economics." Those could be considered requirements or skills; but they appear after hybrid model. Might be part of requirements or skills. We'll include them in Requirements or Skills as appropriate. Since they are experience expectations, maybe they go under Requirements. Now Skills list: "Skills And Attributes For Success" list includes many items similar to requirements. Let's extract: - Strong tax technical skills and experience in tax research and writing, income and franchise taxes and transfer taxes - Compliance skills as it relates to multi-state jurisdictions - Responsible for contributing to the delivery of one or more processes, solutions, and/or projects by delivering agreed activities and applying judgment to inform recommendations. - Accountable for meeting personal targets that impact the immediate team. - May help coordinate the work of junior colleagues or team members. - Meets performance objectives and metrics set locally (client service, quality and risk management, sales and business growth, solution development, and teaming). - Defines and executes deliverables, tracks deliverable completion and project status. - Makes decisions based on broad policies, applying personal knowledge and experience to guide decisions and resolve issues. - Implements procedures and guidelines, working on complex issues requiring in-depth evaluation. - Provides general guidance as needed to others newer to the role or at a lower level. Note some of these overlap with responsibilities; but we must preserve all. Now Benefits: paragraph about compensation and benefits package, base salary range, total rewards includes medical/dental, pension/401k, paid time off, flexible vacation policy, holidays, etc. Pay: base salary ranges per location. Schedule: hybrid model expectation 60% in person, travel as required. Now we need to avoid duplication: Some items appear in both Responsibilities and Skills; but we must preserve all substantive information, so we may keep duplicates? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicates are still substantive; we could keep them but might be considered redundant. However removing duplicates could be considered summarizing away detail? It's not inventing, but removing duplicate sentences could be considered summarizing away detail (since you lose some detail, albeit repeated). Safer to keep them as they appear, even if duplicated. But we can try to avoid obvious duplication by merging similar items but keeping the substance. However the instruction says "do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Summarizing away detail could be interpreted as omitting details, not necessarily removing duplicates. But duplicates are same detail repeated; removing one copy still retains the detail. I think it's okay to deduplicate to avoid redundancy, as long as we don't lose any unique info. We'll try to keep each unique statement. Let's compile unique responsibilities: From Key responsibilities include: 1. Identifying opportunities for tax optimization, credits, and refund recovery, as well as exposure reduction. 2. Managing indirect tax strategies, compliance processes, remediation, controversies, and corrective filings. 3. Supporting tax process reviews and technology transformation to enhance service offerings. From Your Key Responsibilities: 4. You'll likely spend most of your
