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. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role: The initial paragraph describing CohnReznick, the role: "We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Performance Management Manager to join our Talent Management team in a hybrid capacity." Also description of hybrid, etc. Also "WHY COHNREZNICK?" maybe part of About the role or Benefits? It's about firm culture, could be About the role or maybe Benefits? But we have Benefits separate if present. The posting mentions "We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." That's Benefits.
- Responsibilities: List under "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To" then bullet list.
- Your Experience: Under "Your Experience. The successful candidate will have:" then list of qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: after that.
- Skills: maybe part of Experience? Could separate Skills: "Highly proficient in Microsoft Office Suite..." and "Preferred Qualifications" includes tools.
- Pay: Not mentioned. No salary. So we should NOT include Pay section.
- Schedule: Hybrid info: "This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
- Benefits: as above.
We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to use

So we can include Schedule section.
- Benefits: as above.
We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points exactly as given (maybe rephrase? but must preserve info). We can keep them as list items.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation, unsolicited resumes, etc. Also remove "Universal Job Standards" paragraph? That's more about encouraging to apply; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's encouraging to apply; might be considered application instruction? It says "In addition, please take a moment to review our Universal Job Standards." That's not exactly application instruction but could be considered fluff. Might be okay to keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The Universal Job Standards paragraph is not exactly application instruction but encourages to apply; could be considered application instruction? It's encouraging to apply if not meet all qualifications. Might be considered part of EEO? Not exactly. Safer to remove it as it's not substantive about role. Also remove the paragraph about brand name, alternative practice structure, etc. That's legal boilerplate. Remove.
Also remove the hashtags at end "#GD #IND123". Remove.
Now construct sections:
We could have:
About the role
...
But we need to include the description of CohnReznick and the role. Let's craft a concise paragraph preserving all substantive info: The description includes: "As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top professional services firms, CohnReznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do! CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Performance Management Manager to join our Talent Management team in a hybrid capacity. CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week."
That's a lot but we can keep.
Then maybe a separate Why CohnReznick?
but heading must be from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Why CohnReznick?" is not in list; we could incorporate into About the role or Benefits? It's about mission, values, fun, etc. Could be part of About the role. We'll keep it in About the role paragraph.
Next Responsibilities: Responsibilities
with each bullet.
We need to preserve bullet list exactly as given. Let's extract bullet points:
- Lead the design, development, maintenance and continuous improvement of the performance management experience including but not limited to talent standards, coaching, evaluations and feedback
- Manage an internal performance management transformation including a new software platform implementation
- Spearhead? Actually bullet: "Spearhead multiple high-priority projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, ensuring effective prioritization, stakeholder alignment, and on-time delivery of strategic initiatives"
- Develop and maintain process documentation, job aids, presentations, and other supporting resources to drive adoption, consistency, and operational excellence
- Create executive-level presentations, communications, and strategic deliverables that directly support firm priorities and leadership decision-making
- Leverage AI-enabled tools and emerging technologies to enhance productivity, streamline processes, improve content development, generate insights, and drive innovation across performance management programs and initiatives
- Assist HR Field representatives and leadership in implementing performance management tools and techniques
- Develop and execute communication plans to drive performance management process awareness and compliance
- Assist in the development and presentation of performance management training programs and tools
- Collect, analyze and maintain data metrics to inform targeted employee development and succession planning
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to collect feedback and ideas for improvements, balance in-the-moment needs with long term goals
- Embrace innovation and look beyond traditional ways to create new approaches and solve problems
- Create and implement change management strategies and plans
Check if any missing: The original had "Spearhead multiple high-priority projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, ensuring effective prioritization, stakeholder alignment, and on-time delivery of strategic initiativesDevelop and maintain process documentation, job aids, presentations, and other supporting resources to drive adoption, consistency, and operational excellence" Actually there is no period between initiatives and Develop; but we can keep as separate bullet.
We'll format each as - .
Next Requirements/Qualifications: The heading could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We have both "Your Experience" (required) and "Preferred Qualifications". We could combine into Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred). But we need to decide which headings to use. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections.
Thus:
Requirements
(or maybe "Your Experience") but we must use one of the given headings. "Requirements" fits.
List items:
- 5+ years of experience as a Performance Management Manager or in a similar position
- Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources or business-related field
- Experience working for a Public Accounting or Professional Services Firm
- Demonstrates deep expertise in performance management and applies strong business acumen to develop and recommend strategic solutions
- Strong and effective project management skills, ability to manage multiple projects at once
- Outstanding verbal and written communication skills
- Exceptional attention to detail with a proven ability to produce accurate, polished, and high-quality work products in a fast-paced environment
- Demonstrated ability to develop executive-level presentations, communications, and materials that are visually compelling, strategically aligned, and tailored for senior leadership audiences
- Superior presentation skills with the ability to adapt appropriately to target audiences, influence and foster group communication
- Demonstrated success as a collaborator and relationship builder with the ability to facilitate strategic working sessions
- Ability to work effectively under challenging conditions; demonstrates resilience
- Ability to bring multiple ideas from different channels into fruition
- Proven track record of analyzing and interpreting data to provide actionable insights
- Ability to be flexible in a dynamic environment and comfortable with ambiguity
- Highly proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, specifically PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Outlook
Note: The last bullet about Microsoft Office is actually under "Your Experience" list; we can keep there.
Then Qualifications
for Preferred Qualifications:
- Previous experience with any or all the following tools: Copilot or other AI tools, SharePoint, Qualtrics 360, Cornerstone on Demand, UKG, and PowerBI
- PHR or SHRM-CP designation is a plus
We could also include Skills section maybe separate but we already have skills in Requirements and Qualifications. Could also have Skills heading for things like "Highly proficient in Microsoft Office Suite..." but it's already there. We could keep Skills separate but might duplicate. Better to keep as is.
Now Benefits: Benefits
list:
- generous PTO
- flexible work environment
- expanded parental leave
- extensive learning & development
- paid time off for employees to volunteer
We need to preserve the phrase: "We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." So we can either keep as prose or list. Since it's a list, we can use
- . We'll extract each item.
Schedule:

This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week.
We might also mention that CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most professionals are within commutable distance to an office. That could be part of About the role or Schedule. We'll keep in About the role.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. Remove the "WHY COHNREZNICK?" paragraph? We could incorporate into About the role as prose. Let's include that content in About the role: "At CohnReznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm. We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun." That's substantive about culture; we can keep.
Thus About the role paragraph will be long but okay.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We must not include or . Just the fragment.
Let's craft:
