Intercompany Accountant

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes "Description At Gensler..." then "Your Role" etc. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to parse content. We have description: At Gensler, we design for people... (intro). Then "Your Role" paragraph describing role. Then "What You Will Do" list of duties. Then "Your Qualifications" list of qualifications. Then "The starting base salary range is estimated at $80k-$90k plus bonuses and benefits and depending upon experience." Then location. Then "Life at Gensler" describing benefits. Then "NOTICE TO APPLICANTS" etc which we should remove (EEO boilerplate). Also we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we keep substantive info: intro about company maybe as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the intro paragraph describing the firm and role? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role: could be the paragraph under "Your Role" describing the role and reporting line. - Responsibilities: the bullet list under "What You Will Do". - Requirements/Qualifications: the list under "Your Qualifications". Could be Qualifications section. - Skills: maybe we could extract skills from qualifications (Excel, etc). But we could also put under Qualifications. - Benefits: from "Life at Gensler" describing benefits: medical, dental, vision, disability, wellness programs, flex spending, paid holidays, paid time off, 401k, profit sharing, employee stock ownership, twice annual bonus opportunities, reimbursement for professional licenses, tuition reimbursement. - Pay: The starting base salary range $80k-$90k plus bonuses and benefits. - Schedule: Not mentioned; maybe flexibility to take calls outside normal hours. That's schedule-ish but not explicit schedule. Could we create Schedule section? The posting mentions "Flexibility to take calls outside of normal working hours as needed." That's not a schedule definition. Probably we should not create Schedule section because no explicit schedule (like full-time, hours). So omit. We must not include headings with filler text. So we will include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills? Could combine skills into Qualifications. But we could also create Skills section if we have specific skills: Intermediate to advanced Excel user, ability to leverage emerging technologies, working understanding of US GAAP, ability to discuss accounting transactions, experience in A/E/C, experience with Intercompany processing, Blackline Reconciliation Software or DelTek VantagePoint, ability to manage multiple priorities, communicate effectively, team player, results driven, detail oriented, flexibility to take calls outside normal hours. That's a lot; could be Skills. But we already have Qualifications section covering education, experience, etc. Might be better to split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for technical/soft skills. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into Qualifications. But we have both "Your Qualifications" heading already; we can keep that as Qualifications section. Then we could have Skills section for the specific abilities like Excel, emerging tech, etc. However that may be thin? Let's see. We have qualifications list: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, 5+ years of accounting experience (prior Intercompany Accounting preferred), Self-starter and able to work independently, Ability to make difficult decisions, recommend corrective action and implement them globally, Intermediate to advanced Excel user, Ability to leverage emerging technologies to identify and recommend improvements and efficiencies within established protocols, Working understanding of US GAAP and good internal control, Ability to discuss accounting transactions and how they affect the financial statements, Experience in A/E/C, professional services industry, or public accounting is desirable, Experience with Intercompany processing, Blackline Reconciliation Software or DelTek VantagePoint is desirable, Ability to manage multiple and shifting priorities in a dynamic environment, and produce accurate and timely deliverables, Communicate and interact effectively with individuals at all levels internally as well as outside of the firm in various countries and cultures, A team player with the ability to establish collaborative working relationships, Results driven and detail oriented, Flexibility to take calls outside of normal working hours as needed. That's a mix of experience, skills, attributes. Could be all under Qualifications. We'll keep one Qualifications section. Responsibilities: the "What You Will Do" list. About the role: the paragraph under "Your Role". Also maybe the introductory paragraph about Gensler could be considered "About the role"? But we can keep that as About the role. Benefits: from Life at Gensler. Pay: salary range. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure no extra sections like Schedule. Also ensure we didn't repeat job title. Good. Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO etc. Also removed "Life at Gensler" heading; we turned into Benefits. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Make sure we preserved all substantive info: The intro about Gensler mission etc? We omitted the initial paragraph "At Gensler, we design for people..." etc. That is substantive about the firm. Should we include that? Possibly under About the role we could include that as well. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". The initial description about Gensler's mission etc is substantive. We omitted it. We should include it maybe in About the role section before the role description. Let's incorporate that. Thus About the role section could have two paragraphs: first the firm description, then the role description. Let's craft:
