Managing Director, M&A Tax Diligence

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. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. Also remove "About Intrinsic" maybe? It's about the firm; could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Intrinsic" is about company, not role. The instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate. The posting includes: "The Role" (description), "The Mandate", "Why Intrinsic", "What You'll Do" (with subparts), "What Makes You a Fit", "Compensation & Benefits". Also "About Intrinsic". Also "Equal Opportunity Employer". We need to strip boilerplate: EEO etc. Also "About Intrinsic" maybe not needed as heading? Could be considered "About the role"? But "About Intrinsic" is about firm, not role. Might be considered extraneous? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine some. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements/Qualifications (What Makes You a Fit), Skills (maybe part of What Makes You a Fit), Benefits, Pay (Compensation & Benefits). Also maybe "About the role" could be the initial description (The Role, The Mandate, Why Intrinsic). We'll create sections: About the role (summary of role and mandate), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (What Makes You a Fit), Skills (maybe separate but could be part of Requirements; but we have specific skills listed: communication, conviction, etc. Could be separate Skills section). Benefits and Pay from Compensation & Benefits. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. Need to ensure we capture all substantive info. Let's extract content. **About the role** (maybe combine The Role, The Mandate, Why Intrinsic). We'll write a paragraph summarizing. **Responsibilities**: list bullet points from "What You'll Do" sections: Tax Due Diligence & Deal Advisory, Cross-Functional Deal Coordination, Practice Building, Executive Communication & Stakeholder Counsel. Each bullet can be a

with description. **Requirements**: maybe "What Makes You a Fit" includes experience, credentials, etc. Could be Requirements. **Skills**: maybe the bullet points under "You Carry Conviction In The Room" etc. Those are skills/competencies. **Benefits**: list from Compensation & Benefits: medical, dental, vision insurance; 401(k) with employer contribution; paid time off (vacation, sick leave, company holidays); paid parental leave; hybrid and remote work flexibility; professional development support and continuing education reimbursement; participation in employee ownership model. Also note remote work eligibility. **Pay**: base salary range $225,000 to $275,000 annually; performance-based bonus with significant upside. **Schedule**: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section. We must not include "About Intrinsic" or EEO. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's craft HTML. We'll start with

Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Now extract precise text. **About the role**: combine: "The Role Every M&A transaction carries tax consequences that can reshape deal economics, alter purchase price, or create years of exposure if missed. Most advisory firms treat tax diligence as a checkbox, a workstream that gets staffed reactively, buried inside a broader deal team, and delivered without the strategic lens that sponsors and management teams actually need. As Managing Director of M&A Tax Diligence within our Transaction Advisory Services practice, you will build and lead the tax diligence capability at Intrinsic. You will be the person PE sponsors turn to when they need clarity on the tax profile of a target, identifying exposures, quantifying risks, evaluating deal structures, and translating complex federal, state, and local tax positions into actionable intelligence that directly informs purchase price, representations and warranties, and post-close integration strategy. The Mandate: Own the tax diligence workstream across multiple concurrent transactions, working in lockstep with our financial due diligence teams and directly alongside PE deal professionals, portfolio company CFOs, and legal counsel. You will shape how Intrinsic delivers tax insight throughout the M&A lifecycle, from pre-LOI structuring through post-close integration. This is equally an entrepreneurial leadership opportunity. You will not simply execute a predefined playbook. You will define it. As the M&A tax leader within TAS, you will have the opportunity to shape our tax diligence methodology, build the team, develop templates and frameworks, and establish the intellectual capital that positions Intrinsic as a differentiated partner to PE sponsors who expect tax insight to be integral to, not adjacent to, every transaction. Why Intrinsic Private, independent firm with significant employee ownership — when the firm wins, you win Integrated deal teams — work alongside experienced financial due diligence professionals who value tax as a strategic workstream, not an afterthoughtDirect access to PE sponsors and portfolio leadership — no layers between you and the stakeholders who depend on your analysisHybrid flexibility — based in Denver or Chicago with remote options and meaningful work-from-anywhere policiesGrowth trajectory — clear progression path within a high-impact practice at an inflection point This is not a compliance-heavy tax role or a staff augmentation position. You will operate as a strategic advisor to PE deal teams, bringing the tax perspective that shapes deal economics, protects downside, and accelerates post-close value creation." We need to ensure it's a single paragraph? Could be multiple

but we can just one. **Responsibilities**: bullet points from "What You'll Do" sections. Let's extract each bullet: - Tax Due Diligence & Deal Advisory: * You Are The Senior Tax Professional On Every Deal You Touch.

You do not just surface issues; you frame them in the context of deal economics, recommend paths forward, and guide stakeholders toward informed decisions. * You navigate difficult conversations where tax positions carry material financial consequences, and you do so with the confidence that comes from deep preparation and technical command.
