Senior Manager, SALT Asset Management (remote option)
. Also the California Salary Range line is specific; we keep. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all responsibilities bullet points, qualifications bullet points, additional qualifications bullet points, benefits description, schedule info (Personal Time Off, holidays, breaks). Also the intro about KPMG culture and the role description (the paragraph before Responsibilities) could go under About the role. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Check if Benefits section has real specific content: they list medical/dental plans, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being benefits, Personal Time Off, holidays, breaks. That's specific enough.
Pay section: they have California Salary Range: $113145 - $270020, plus link for other cities. That's specific.
Schedule: they mention standard work hours, Personal Time Off per fiscal year, calendar of holidays, two breaks each year (year end and around July 4th). That's specific.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content: Personal Time Off appears both in Benefits and Schedule; but it's okay to mention in both? Might be duplication but we must preserve all info; we can keep in both sections if they appear in original. However we should avoid duplication if it's same sentence repeated? The original says: "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." That's schedule info. Benefits section mentions "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year." Actually that sentence appears in benefits paragraph? Let's check: In benefits paragraph: "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." Actually that is in the benefits paragraph after listing benefits. So schedule info is within benefits paragraph. So we might not need separate Schedule section; we can keep that info under Benefits. But the instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine schedule info into Benefits. However they also mention "standard work hours" which is schedule. So we can keep Benefits section that includes that.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits (including pay? Pay separate). Pay separate.
We must not include sections like "Skills" if not present. There's no explicit Skills list; but qualifications include skills. We'll keep Qualifications.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: Remove EEO, equal opportunity, legal, scam warning, application instructions, "No phone calls or agencies please", "KPMG recruits on a rolling basis", etc. Also remove "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties..." etc. Also remove "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer." etc. Also remove "The attached link contains further information regarding KPMG's compliance..." etc. Also remove "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." maybe keep as part of benefits intro but it's somewhat generic; but we can keep as it's part of benefits description. However it's somewhat boilerplate but still part of benefits. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That line is not exactly those categories; it's a statement about compensation and benefits package; could be considered part of benefits. I'd keep it.
Now we need to format.
Let's extract the intro paragraphs:
"At KPMG, you can become an integral part of a dynamic team at one of the worlds top tax firms. Enjoy a collaborative, future-forward culture that empowers your success. Work with KPMGs extensive network of specialists; enjoy access to our Ignition Centers, where deep industry knowledge merges with cutting-edge technologies to create innovative tax solutions. Join a diverse team helping high-profile clients understand, analyze, and respond to complex business opportunities and challenges. Develop your career through a range of multifaceted engagements, formal training, and informal mentoring. At KPMG, we believe nothing is more important than investing in our culture because it is an investment in our people, our future, and what we stand for as a firm. KPMG is currently seeking a Senior Manager to join our State and Local Tax (SALT) practice."
We can put that as About the role section.
Now Responsibilities: list bullet points:
- Provide tax compliance services to partnerships for Asset Management clients
- Deliver exceptional client service to multi-state companies with state and local tax issues including compliance, advisory services, planning, technology, and controversies
- Assist multi-state companies with state and local tax controversies which includes preparing clients for discussions with auditors, representing the client at hearings and appeal meetings, and preparing protests

- Supervise, mentor, and develop staff members and teams
- Additional responsibilities for Senior Manager:
- Assist multi-state companies with analyzing state tax considerations/impacts related to business restructuring projects and intercompany transactions
- Develop cross-functional relationships within the firm
We need to keep the "Additional responsibilities for Senior Manager:" as maybe a subheading? But we cannot add extra headings besides h3 sections. We can keep it as a paragraph or as a list item with bold? But we must use
- for any list. So we can treat the additional responsibilities as list items under the same list, maybe preceded by a note. We'll just include them as list items.
Now Qualifications: list bullet points:
- Minimum five years of recent experience performing tax research and providing technical advice on multi-state tax issues
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university
- Licensed CPA, EA, JD/LLM or MTX, 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
- Able to develop business and foster client relationships
- Ability and desire to perform in a high-energy team environment, and excellent writing, communication, and tax research skills

- Additional qualifications for Senior Manager:
- Minimum eight years of recent experience in providing tax research and technical advice on multi-state issues
- Strong knowledge of the development, planning, and execution of client delivery
- Experience with various other state and local taxes
We need to keep the long sentence about credentials as is.
Now Benefits: we need to extract the benefits paragraph:
"KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package. 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."
We need to remove duplicated lines: there is "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." and later "KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package". Both are similar; we might keep one? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate. We'll keep one comprehensive statement maybe combine. Let's keep: "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." and then the rest. But the second sentence is similar; we can drop the duplicate. We'll keep first sentence and then "In addition, KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package..." maybe that's duplicate; better to keep only one. Let's keep: "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." Then continue with "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.

Now Pay: we have:
