Lead Finance Manager - Regulatory Tax

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about Reynolds American: "Reynolds American is evolving into a global multi-category business. Our purpose is to create A Better Tomorrow™ by Building a Smokeless World. To achieve our ambition, we are looking for colleagues who are ready to join us on this journey. Tomorrow can’t wait, let’s shape it together! REYNOLDS AMERICAN has an exciting opportunity for a Lead Regulatory Tax Manager in Winston-Salem, NC" - Then description of role: "The Lead Regulatory Tax Manager plays a critical leadership role within a highly dynamic and multifaceted tax function, overseeing and supporting the company’s compliance with federal, state, and local indirect tax laws and regulations. This role is primarily responsible for managing tax obligations related to marketplace facilitator activities and direct retail partner platforms, with a strong focus on Sales & Use Tax, State Excise Tax, and Property Tax compliance. In addition, the position provides support across other indirect tax disciplines as business needs require. As a key business partner, the Lead Regulatory Tax Manager collaborates extensively with stakeholders across the organization, providing strategic guidance, technical expertise, and operational support to ensure compliance with evolving indirect tax requirements while mitigating risk and promoting best practices." - Then "Your Key Responsibilities Will Include" list bullet points. - Then "What are we looking for?" list bullet points. - Then "WE ARE REYNOLDS AMERICAN—A member of the BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO GROUP" etc. This is about company purpose, belonging etc. Might be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. - About the role: likely the introductory description of role and company context. - Responsibilities: the bullet list under "Your Key Responsibilities Will Include". - Requirements: maybe the bullet list under "What are we looking for?" includes degree, experience, knowledge etc. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. But we need to decide. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine similar items. We have: - Requirements: Bachelor's degree in accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field, or equivalent relevant experience. 3+ years of experience in indirect tax compliance, with direct exposure to State Sales & Use Tax. Knowledge of federal, state, and local indirect tax regulations. Experience in preparing and filing Sales & Use Tax returns across multiple jurisdictions. - Skills: Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders. Experience with SAP and tax technology platforms such as Vertex or Avalara is preferred. Detail-oriented, diligent, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements. Could treat "What are we looking for?" as Requirements, and then separate Skills. But we could also have a single "Requirements" section that includes both degree/experience and skills. However instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We can include Requirements and Skills. Benefits: there is a long "Benefit Information" section with many details. So we should include Benefits section. Pay: Not mentioned explicitly. No salary figure. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific pay info. Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit. Also we might include "About the role" section with intro and company purpose. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At the end there is EEO statement and California Privacy Notice. Remove those. Also remove duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities and requirements/skills, and benefits details. We need to format as HTML: use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have

  Lead Regulatory Tax Manager

  . Instead we will have sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine intro paragraph(s) about company purpose and role description. We can have:

  • for any list. Could have a top-level li "Paid Leave" and then a nested ul for its subitems. That's acceptable. We'll produce:

    Benefits

    • 401(k) plan that offers opportunity to save on pre- and post-tax basis up to 50 percent of eligible compensation.
