Manager/Senior Manager, Transfer Pricing
KPMG US · Harrisburg, PA · 3 wk ago
HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs about KPMG, dynamic team, etc. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (intro), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Benefits". Also maybe "Skills"? The posting includes skills like communication, analytical, teamwork, mentoring. Could be part of Qualifications or separate Skills. The instruction: Use .
Qualifications: The qualifications section includes many details: Minimum five years of recent experience with transfer pricing projects or advisory related projects; Bachelor's degree in economics, business, finance, mathematics, or statistics from an accredited college/university for Manager; completion of an advanced degree or professional designation from an accredited college/university as listed for Senior Manager; progress toward coursework/testing requirements for an approved advanced degree or professional designation must be demonstrated; progress defined as being registered for and attending classes that count towards an advanced degree; alternatively, successful completion of at least one examination for a professional designation is required; Advanced Degrees: list (PHD, etc); Professional Designations: CPA, CFA, EA or Transfer Pricing Certificate from CIOT in addition to others on KPMG's approved credential listing; any individual who does not possess at least one of the approved designations/credentials when their employment commences, has one year from their date of hire to obtain at least one of the approved designations/credentials; should you like to see the complete list of currently approved designations/credentials for the hiring practice/service line, your recruiter can provide you with that list; Experience in one or more of the following areas: transfer pricing studies, financial statement analysis, quantitative and competitive analysis, statistical sampling and econometrics, plan evaluation and/or operational performance analysis; Knowledge of the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and thorough understanding of the U.S. Transfer Pricing Regulations and international transfer pricing environment; Effective written and verbal communication skills, and solid analytical skills; ability to work well in a team environment; Experience mentoring and counseling staff level team members; Additional Qualifications for Senior Manager: Minimum eight years of recent experience with transfer pricing or advisory related projects.
We need to preserve all that. Could break into bullet list for readability but must not lose detail. We'll put as
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to extract content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove lines about KPMG LLP compliance with salary ranges, link to pay transparency, etc? Those are about Pay. The posting includes salary range info: "KPMG LLP and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges. If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires who will work in the location(s) listed. Any offered salary is determined based on relevant factors such as applicant's skills, job responsibilities, prior relevant experience, certain degrees and certifications and market considerations." Also later: "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." Also link to salary ranges by city outside of CA. This is pay info but not actual numbers. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention benefits: "In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday. Additional details about our benefits can be found towards the bottom of our KPMG US Careers site at Benefits & How We Work." Thus we have Benefits content. Also schedule: mentions Personal Time Off, holidays, breaks. That's schedule info. So we could include a Benefits section and maybe a Schedule section. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Benefits and Schedule into Benefits? But schedule is separate concept. Might be okay to have Benefits and Schedule sections. Pay: The posting does not give actual salary numbers or ranges, just says they comply and provide link. No specific numbers. So we should NOT create a Pay section because no actual pay info. Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must keep all substantive info from posting, but we can remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, application instructions, etc). Also remove duplicated lines. We need to parse the posting and extract relevant content. Let's rewrite the intro: "At KPMG, you can join a dynamic team at a top professional services firm. Enjoy a collaborative culture that empowers your success, helping clients understand and respond to complex business opportunities. As part of our Transfer Pricing team, you'll work closely with tax colleagues to solve global tax challenges. You'll also have the chance to work in our Ignition Centers, using cutting-edge technologies to automate intercompany processes. Partner with our dispute resolution team and KPMG member firms worldwide to assist multinational clients in defending against tax authority challenges. Enhance your career through diverse engagements, formal training, and mentoring. At KPMG, we invest in our culture because it's an investment in our people and our future. KPMG is currently seeking a Manager/Senior Manager to join our Transfer Pricing practice." That's the About the role content. Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Responsibilities:" line. Responsibilities list: - Manage as well as deliver transfer pricing services - Develop and maintain client relationships; supervise and mentor staff members - Prepare and analyze financial and economic data for tax and regulatory compliance purposes using Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and various statistical sampling packages - Oversee risk and financial performance of engagements including billing, collections, and project budgets - Team with other professionals to identify new marketplace opportunities and grow the KPMG tax practice We need to keep each as
- each bullet summarizing but must preserve detail. However we cannot invent or summarize away detail; we can condense but must keep all info. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That means we cannot omit details; we must keep them. Summarizing might be considered summarizing away detail? Safer to keep each piece as separate bullet but keep the full text. We'll produce a list where each
- contains a sentence or clause preserving the detail.
We'll need to include the long list of advanced degrees and professional designations. That's a lot; we must include them.
We'll also need Benefits section: include the benefits description.
Schedule section: include Personal Time Off, holidays, breaks.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO statements, legal compliance, application instructions like "No phone calls or agencies please", "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis", "Candidates are encouraged to apply expeditiously", "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties...". Also remove the link to pay transparency and the sentence about KPMG LLP compliance with salary ranges (since we aren't making Pay section). Also remove the sentence about "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." (that's somewhat benefits but we already have benefits; but it's generic; we can keep as part of benefits? It's basically repeating benefits; but we can keep it as part of benefits description. However it's not specific detail; but it's still substantive? It says "offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." That's vague; but we already have specific benefits. Might be okay to keep but could be considered filler. Safer to keep only the specific benefits details.
Also remove the line about "Follow this link to obtain salary ranges by city outside of CA: ..." as it's pay-related but we aren't making Pay section; but it's a link; we can drop.
Also remove "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer..." etc.
Also remove "The attached link contains further information regarding KPMG's compliance with federal, state and local recruitment and hiring laws."
Also remove "No phone calls or agencies please."
Also remove "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis..." etc.
Also remove "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties for this position are listed above. Criminal history may have a direct, adverse, and negative relationship with some of the material job duties of this position..." That's EEO/legal; remove.
Now produce HTML.
