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 where posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job description. Job Summary: "The Managing Director, Tax Operations leads execution of major operational programs and enterprise initiatives across Tax, ensuring alignment between strategy, governance, and delivery. This role serves as a strategic partner to Tax leadership, translating priorities into scalable operating models, cross-functional execution plans, and measurable business outcomes. The Managing Director drives operational excellence by strengthening governance, improving performance visibility, removing execution barriers, and coordinating closely with firmwide functions to advance transformation, efficiency, and long-term growth across the Tax practice." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" heading. Job Duties: list of duties: Strategic Execution & Program Leadership (with bullet points), Operating Model Leadership, Governance & Risk Management, Financial & Performance Oversight, Leadership & Influence, Other duties as required, Supervisory Responsibilities. We need to put these under a Responsibilities heading (or maybe "Responsibilities"). Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: includes Education, Experience, License/Certifications, Software, Language, Other Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities. We need to decide sections: Could have "Qualifications" (education, experience, certifications), "Skills" (other knowledge, skills, abilities). Could also have "Requirements". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have Pay: salary ranges given: National Range: $220,000 - $260,000 etc. So we can include Pay section. Benefits: The posting mentions ESOP, Total Rewards benefits, but not specific benefits list. It says "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits." It's vague. There's no specific benefit details like health insurance, 401k, etc. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does mention ESOP and Total Rewards benefits, but not specific. Might be considered stating benefits? It says "BDO provides assurance, tax, and advisory services... We are proud to be an ESOP company, offering participants a stake in the firm’s success through beneficial ownership and a unique opportunity to enhance their financial well-being. As a qualified retirement plan, the ESOP is a meaningful addition to our comprehensive compensation and Total Rewards benefits* offerings." That's a description of benefits (ESOP). Could be considered specific enough? It mentions ESOP and Total Rewards benefits. Might be okay to include Benefits section with that content. Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit Schedule. Requirements: Could be combined with Qualifications? The instruction says we can have Requirements heading for list of duties/requirements/benefits. But we already have Responsibilities for duties. Requirements could be for qualifications (education, experience). However we also have Qualifications heading. Might be redundant. We need to decide which sections to include. We have content for: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (education, experience, certifications, software), Skills (other knowledge, skills, abilities), Pay (salary ranges), Benefits (ESOP, Total Rewards). Could also include Requirements but maybe not needed. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Managing Director, Tax Operations. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO statements at the end, the "Learn more about our benefits: Click here to find out more !" maybe considered boilerplate? It's a link to benefits but not specific. Might be considered boilerplate; but we already have benefits content from ESOP description. The "Learn more about our benefits: Click here to find out more !" is likely boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "Benefits may be subject to eligibility requirements." That's generic; maybe keep? It's about benefits but generic. Might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits line may be considered legal boilerplate; but it's about benefits eligibility. Might be okay to keep? Safer to keep if it's substantive? It's generic. I'd lean to remove it as boilerplate. Also "Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/vets Click here to find out more !" and the quoted statement: remove. Also "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or protected veteran status." Remove. Also "BDO USA, P.A. is an EO employer M/F/Veteran/Disability" remove. Also "About Us" section: we have a paragraph about BDO purpose, values, etc. That's substantive? It's about the company, not the role. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not about the job but about the company. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Us is not explicitly listed, but it's likely boilerplate. However it's substantive about the firm. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The About Us is substantive about the company, but is it required? The job posting includes it; we should preserve it unless it's considered boilerplate. The instruction didn't explicitly say to remove About Us. It only listed certain boilerplate types. So we should keep About Us content. Thus we need to include an About Us section? There's no heading for About Us in the allowed headings list. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. About Us is not in that list. So we cannot create a heading for About Us because not allowed. But we could incorporate About Us content under About the role? That would be mixing. Better to omit About Us entirely because we cannot create a heading for it, and we shouldn't just dump prose without heading? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment. It didn't say we must wrap everything in headings; we can have

    prose outside headings? Probably yes. But we need to follow the rule: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It might be okay to have other headings, but better to stick to allowed ones. The About Us could be placed under a heading like "About the role"? Not appropriate. Could we treat About Us as part of "About the role"? No. Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, and only include sections when posting has real specific content. The About Us is not about the role, but it's still part of posting. However the allowed headings don't include About Us, so maybe we should omit it. The instruction says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. So we could use other headings if needed. But to be safe, we could include an About Us heading as

    About Us

    . It's not prohibited. The instruction didn't forbid other headings. It just gave examples. So we can include About Us. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, About Us. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific content. Now we need to extract details. Let's parse the posting. Job Summary (About the role): "The Managing Director, Tax Operations leads execution of major operational programs and enterprise initiatives across Tax, ensuring alignment between strategy, governance, and delivery. This role serves as a strategic partner to Tax leadership, translating priorities into scalable operating models, cross-functional execution plans, and measurable business outcomes. The Managing Director drives operational excellence by strengthening governance, improving performance visibility, removing execution barriers, and coordinating closely with firmwide functions to advance transformation, efficiency, and long-term growth across the Tax practice." We'll put that in

    . Responsibilities: list of duties. We have headings within Job Duties: Strategic Execution & Program Leadership, Operating Model Leadership, Governance & Risk Management, Financial & Performance Oversight, Leadership & Influence, Other duties as required, Supervisory Responsibilities. Under each heading there are bullet points (some are sentences). We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each: Strategic Execution & Program Leadership: - Leads execution of Tax transformation initiatives and other high-priority operational programs - Translates strategic priorities into actionable plans, clear ownership, and measurable outcomes - Drives accountability and follow-through across complex, cross-functional efforts Operating Model Leadership: - Leads implementation and continuous improvement of the Tax operating model to support consistency, scalability, and efficient execution - Identifies and resolves operational friction across processes, systems, and stakeholder coordination - Partners with firm functions to ensure alignment on operational priorities, dependencies, and support needs Governance & Risk Management: - Establishes governance routines, performance tracking, and execution standards to improve visibility and discipline - Serves as an escalation point for complex operational issues and drive timely resolution - Promotes alignment with quality, compliance, and risk management expectations Financial & Performance Oversight: - Partners with Finance and Tax leadership to monitor budgets, operational metrics, and performance trends - Identifies and advances opportunities to improve profitability, efficiency, and resource utilization Leadership & Influence: - Acts as a strategic advisor to Tax leadership, using data and insights to inform decisions and execution priorities - Builds alignment across leaders and functions to advance enterprise and Tax priorities - Coaches and develops operations leaders and team members as assigned - Other duties as required (maybe separate) Supervisory Responsibilities: - Oversees operational Directors, Managers, Senior Associates, and Associates as assigned - Serves as a Career Advisor as assigned Also "Other duties as required" appears under Leadership & Influence? Actually after Leadership & Influence bullet list includes "Coaches and develops operations leaders and team members as assigned" then "Other duties as required". Then later "Supervisory Responsibilities". We'll treat "Other duties as required" as a bullet under Leadership & Influence or separate? We'll keep as bullet. Now Qualifications: Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: includes: Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: - Bachelor’s degree with a focus in Accounting or Finance required; or Associate’s degree, High School Diploma, or GED with fifteen (15) or more years of experience in an operations role required, preferably within a public accounting firm - Experience Fifteen (15) or more years of progressive experience in public accounting, professional services, consulting, or a similarly complex matrixed environment, required - Significant experience leading business operations, practice operations, or enterprise transformation initiatives at scale, required - Proven success leading large, cross-functional programs from strategy through implementation, including governance, stakeholder alignment, and change execution, required - Experience advising senior leaders and influencing decisions in a highly collaborative, executive-facing environment, required
