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 that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting: It includes location list, intro, about EY, opportunity, description of role, responsibilities, key responsibilities, your key responsibilities, etc. Also skills and attributes, qualifications, what we look for, what we offer (benefits, pay range). Also schedule/hybrid model: expectation 60% in person, etc.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing role). Responsibilities (list). Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine). Skills (maybe separate). Benefits (maybe from "What We Offer You": comprehensive compensation and benefits package, medical/dental, pension/401k, paid time off, flexible vacation, holidays, etc). Pay (salary ranges). Schedule (hybrid model: 60% in person). Also maybe "Location" but location list is given but not a section heading; we could embed in About the role paragraph.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. Ensure we have substantive content.
We must not include job ID/requisition numbers.
We must not include application instructions (like "Apply today", "limit yourself to two applications", etc). Remove those.
We must not include EEO boilerplate.
We must not include navigation/cookie.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Intro: "At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence. We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world. Will you shape the future or will the future shape you?" This is fluff but maybe considered boilerplate? It's generic marketing. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This intro is not exactly those categories; it's more marketing fluff. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? But we could keep a short paragraph summarizing the role.
Better to focus on role specifics: "EY's State and Local Tax (SALT) team is a growing practice within the organization, and you'll see that growth reflected in your career. As a Tax Senior, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to a dynamic and expanding team that has experienced significant recent growth and aims to double in size over the next few years. With support from some of the most engaging professionals in the business, you can expect to develop your tax technical skills, management techniques, and business experience considerably. It's all about taking on new skills and responsibilities as they arise and making the most of our dedicated mentors and training programs. Step into a pivotal role where you will advise on indirect tax regulatory changes and support compliance and reporting needs for both public and private entities. You’ll develop and implement strategies, operating models, and compliance frameworks to manage indirect taxes throughout the tax lifecycle, increasing operational efficiency and ensuring regulatory requirements are met."
That's substantive.
Then "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" paragraph: "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 "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."
Then "Skills And Attributes For Success" list: many bullet-like sentences. We need to convert to
