Sales & Use Tax Analyst

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Let's parse posting. Content: - Intro about 7-Eleven: description of company, mission. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role and company. We'll put that in

About the role

with paragraph(s) summarizing. - Responsibilities: "Key Duties And Responsibilites" list. We'll extract bullet points. Use

• . - Requirements/Education And Experience: includes education, years of experience, certifications, etc. We'll put under

  Requirements

  maybe also Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). We can decide to combine Education/Experience under Requirements. Also there is "Specific Knowledge And Skills" which could be Skills. - Qualifications: maybe duplicate of Requirements? We'll treat Qualifications as maybe education and experience? But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see: The posting includes "Education And Experience" and "Specific Knowledge And Skills". We could map Education And Experience to Requirements, and Specific Knowledge And Skills to Skills. Qualifications maybe not needed. - Benefits: posting mentions benefits link but no specifics. It says "For a general description of all benefits 7-Eleven is offering in the US for the position, please visit this link." No actual benefit details. So we should NOT include Benefits section because no specific content. - Pay: posting includes a paragraph about salary range disclaimer but no actual numbers. It says "If an hourly or salary range is included in this ad it represents the range...". No actual range given. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: not mentioned. So omit. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Need to keep details like bullet points exactly as given (maybe minor formatting). Ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Let's extract About the role content: The first paragraph(s) before role description: "7-Eleven is an iconic family of brands with over 86,000 locations, surpassing every retailer in the world. We revolutionize convenience, restaurants and fuel through cutting edge innovation — working hard to be the customer's first choice. 7-Eleven empowers our employees to "activate awesome" and make a meaningful impact in their stores and communities every day. If you're ready to grow, lead and make a difference, come join our team and help shape the future of convenience." Then role description: "The Sales & Use Tax Analyst will support the Company's indirect tax function with a primary focus on sales and use tax audits within the tax technology team. This role will work closely with tax, accounting, procurement, accounts payable, information technology, and operational teams to ensure compliance with state and local tax regulations while minimizing audit exposure and supporting process improvement initiatives." We'll combine into About the role paragraph(s). Keep as is. Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Key Duties And Responsibilites". Need to correct spelling? Keep as is but maybe preserve original text. The bullet points are separated by no bullet but each sentence starts with a capital letter and seems like separate duties. We'll turn each into
• . Let's list them: - Facilitate all phases of state and local sales and use tax audits, including audit kickoff meetings, information gathering, data extraction, audit sample review, audit workpaper preparation, and audit resolution - Analyze auditor requests and prepared detailed responses and supporting documentation - Review audit findings, identify opportunities to reduce assessments, and assist with negotiations, protests, appeals, and refund opportunities - Coordinate with internal departments to obtain supporting documentation and ensure timely audit responses - Maintain audit workpapers, documentation, and audit tracking schedules - Identify recurring audit issues and recommend process improvements to reduce future tax risk - Research and interpret state and local sales, use, gross receipts, excise, and other indirect tax laws - Provide guidance regarding the taxability of purchases, services, fixed assets, and operational transactions - Review tax account reconciliations and identify variances requiring investigation - Assist with exemption certificate management and documentation Check for any missing: The original text: "Facilitate all phases of state and local sales and use tax audits, including audit kickoff meetings, information gathering, data extraction, audit sample review, audit workpaper preparation, and audit resolutionAnalyze auditor requests and prepared detailed responses and supporting documentationReview audit findings, identify opportunities to reduce assessments, and assist with negotiations, protests, appeals, and refund opportunitiesCoordinate with internal departments to obtain supporting documentation and ensure timely audit responsesMaintain audit workpapers, documentation, and audit tracking schedulesIdentify recurring audit issues and recommend process improvements to reduce future tax riskResearch and interpret state and local sales, use, gross receipts, excise, and other indirect tax lawsProvide guidance regarding the taxability of purchases, services, fixed assets, and operational transactionsReview tax account reconciliations and identify variances requiring investigationAssist with exemption certificate management and documentation" We need to split correctly. I think each sentence is separated by missing space. We'll split at capital letters after a period? We'll just manually separate as above. Now Requirements: Education And Experience section: "EDUCATION: Bachelors/4 Yr Degree YEARS OF RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE: 3+ years YEARS OF MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE: NA CERTIFICATIONS / LICENSES: Master's degree and/or CMI strongly preferred" We need to preserve all substantive information. We'll put in paragraph maybe as list? Could be
  • Education: Bachelor's/4-year degree
  etc. But we need to avoid filler like "NA". "NA" is not substantive? It's a placeholder meaning not applicable. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For content within a section, we should avoid filler? The rule about filler applies to sections, not necessarily list items? It says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we include a Requirements section, we must ensure it has real specific content, not just filler. The "NA" is filler; we could omit that line. We can include Education, Years of experience, Certifications. That's substantive. Thus we can output:
  • Education: Bachelor's/4-year degree
  • Years of relevant work experience: 3+ years
  • Certifications/Licenses: Master's degree and/or CMI strongly preferred
  We should also maybe include "Years of management experience: NA" but that's filler, so omit. Now Skills: Specific Knowledge And Skills section: "Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, Economics, Business Administration, or related field preferredAbility to effectively communicate impact of complex indirect tax statutes, regulations, rulings, etc. to key tax and non-tax personnel2-5 years of indirect tax experience with strong emphasis on sales and use tax audits preferredTax Compliance and data preparation experience is a plus, but not requiredExposure to multiple indirect tax types, including sales/use tax, gross receipts tax, GST/PST, excise taxIndirect tax determination & related systems experience (OneSource preferred)Strong Microsoft Excel skills.

Let's parse: - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, Economics, Business Administration, or related field preferred - Ability to effectively communicate impact of complex indirect tax statutes, regulations, rulings, etc. to key tax and non-tax personnel - 2-5 years of indirect tax experience with strong emphasis on sales and use tax audits preferred - Tax Compliance and data preparation experience is a plus, but not required - Exposure to multiple indirect tax types, including sales/use tax, gross receipts tax, GST/PST, excise tax - Indirect tax determination & related systems experience (OneSource preferred) - Strong Microsoft Excel skills.

  • ...
  under Skills heading. Now About the role: We'll put paragraph(s). Could be two paragraphs: first about company, second about role. We'll keep as is. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not using "Sales & Use Tax Analyst" as heading. Now output HTML fragment. Let's craft:
