We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting: It starts with bullet points about benefits: "Why Ryan? Hybrid Work Options Award-Winning Culture Generous Personal Time Off (PTO) Benefits 14-Weeks of 100% Paid Leave for New Parents (Adoption Included) Monthly Gym Membership Reimbursement OR Gym Equipment Reimbursement Benefits Eligibility Effective Day One 401K with Employer Match Tuition Reimbursement After One Year of Service Fertility Assistance Program Four-Week Company-Paid Sabbatical Eligibility After Five Years of Service". That's benefits. Then description: "The Senior Manager, Tax Technology leads complex indirect tax technology implementation projects for enterprise clients..." That's about the role/responsibilities. Then duties and responsibilities broken into People, Client, Value sections. Those are responsibilities. Then Education And Experience (qualifications). Then Computer Skills (skills). Then Required Skills, Preferred Skills (skills). Then Certificates And Licenses (qualifications? maybe skills). Then Supervisory Responsibilities (maybe responsibilities). Then Travel (maybe schedule? Actually travel is not schedule but could be part of responsibilities). Then Compensation Pay Transparency (pay). Then Equal Opportunity Employer boilerplate to remove. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe a brief overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (maybe certifications?), Skills (required/preferred skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (maybe travel? but schedule is about work hours? Not present. Travel is not schedule. The instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. There's no explicit schedule like "full-time", "part-time", "flexible hours". There's hybrid work options mentioned in benefits bullet. That could be considered schedule? But they said "Hybrid Work Options" under benefits. So schedule maybe not present. We'll omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Senior Manager, Tax Technology. 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, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So remove Equal Opportunity Employer line. We need to include Benefits section with the bullet list. We need to include Pay section with the compensation ranges. We need to include About the role maybe a paragraph summarizing role. We need Responsibilities: we can combine People, Client, Value into a list of duties. We need Requirements: Education And Experience. We need Qualifications: maybe Certificates And Licenses? Or we could treat Certificates as Qualifications. But we already have Requirements (education/experience). Qualifications could be certifications. However we might combine them into Requirements if we want fewer sections. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could merge Education And Experience and Certificates And Licenses into a single Requirements/Qualifications section. But we need to follow headings list: we can choose which to include. Let's decide: Include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience + certifications), Skills (required/preferred + computer skills), Benefits, Pay. That's six sections. We must not include Schedule. Now we need to extract content. Let's parse benefits bullet list: - Hybrid Work Options - Award-Winning Culture - Generous Personal Time Off (PTO) Benefits - 14-Weeks of 100% Paid Leave for New Parents (Adoption Included) - Monthly Gym Membership Reimbursement OR Gym Equipment Reimbursement - Benefits Eligibility Effective Day One - 401K with Employer Match - Tuition Reimbursement After One Year of Service - Fertility Assistance Program - Four-Week Company-Paid Sabbatical Eligibility After Five Years of Service We need to preserve all substantive information. So each bullet as

  • . Now About the role: The paragraph after benefits: "The Senior Manager, Tax Technology leads complex indirect tax technology implementation projects for enterprise clients, with a primary focus on ERP integration, tax engine deployment, and business process transformation. This role oversees multiple concurrent engagements from planning through production deployment, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in accordance with Ryan’s delivery standards. The ideal candidate has substantial experience leading multiple full-cycle implementations integrating SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA with Vertex O Series or OneSource Determination. In addition to client delivery, the Senior Manager develops consulting professionals, manages direct reports, supports business development, and contributes to the continued growth of Ryan’s Tax Technology practice. This position is eligible for remote or hybrid work arrangements, with periodic travel required to support client engagements and team collaboration." We can put that as

    under About the role. Now Responsibilities: We have People, Client, Value sections each with bullet points. Let's extract each bullet. People: - Creates a positive, accountable, and collaborative team environment aligned with Ryan’s core values. - Leads, coaches, and develops consulting professionals through technical guidance, performance management, training, and career development. - Oversees project staffing, resource planning, workload distribution, and utilization across concurrent engagements. - Establishes consistent implementation methodologies, quality standards, and delivery best practices. - Supports recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and professional development of Tax Technology team members.

Value: - Applies indirect tax and technology expertise to translate business requirements into practical, scalable solutions. - Provides technical leadership for ERP integrations, tax engine implementations, and custom tax automation solutions. - Develops implementation methodologies, quality standards, and reusable delivery assets that improve project consistency and efficiency. - Promotes the appropriate use of automation, analytics, and artificial intelligence to improve delivery and client outcomes. - Ensures strong engagement performance through disciplined budgeting, forecasting, resource planning, billing, and change management. - Supports practice growth through thought leadership, strategic initiatives, vendor relationships, and knowledge sharing. - Performs other duties as assigned. We can combine all these bullets into a single

    • list under Responsibilities. Now Requirements: Education And Experience paragraph: "Bachelor's degree or Master's degree from a four-year college or university and a minimum of seven to ten years of experience providing indirect tax automation and implementation services is required. Accounting, Tax, or Information Technology degrees are desirable. Experience working for a consulting firm, tax software provider, or systems integrator delivering enterprise indirect tax technology implementations is strongly preferred. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Project Management Professional (PMP) designation is a plus. Demonstrated experience leading multiple full-cycle enterprise software implementations from requirements gathering through production deployment and post-go-live support. Extensive knowledge of indirect tax technology software solutions is required, specifically Vertex O Series or OneSource Determination. Extensive ERP knowledge specific to tax determination and finance. The ideal candidate has experience working with and designing SAP ERP Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), and Financial Accounting (FI) modules in SAP ECC and/or SAP S/4HANA." We can put that as

      maybe with some

        for lists? But it's prose. We'll keep as

        . Now Certificates And Licenses: "Professional certifications such as PMP, Agile/Scrum certifications, Lean/Six Sigma, CPA, SAP, Vertex, or OneSource certifications are preferred. Valid driver's license may be required, depending on role assignment." We could incorporate into Requirements as additional sentences. But to avoid thin sections, we can add to Requirements paragraph. Now Skills: We have Computer Skills paragraph, Required Skills bullet list, Preferred Skills bullet list. Computer Skills: "Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Experience working with enterprise systems, databases, reporting tools, project management platforms, or business applications. Familiarity with project management tools and collaboration platforms preferred. Demonstrated ability to appropriately leverage artificial intelligence tools to improve productivity, analysis, documentation, project delivery, and day-to-day client service while maintaining professional judgment, confidentiality, and data security." Required Skills bullet list: - Strong project and program management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent engagements and priorities. - Strong functional knowledge of SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA processes related to indirect tax. - Experience leading multiple end-to-end implementations of Vertex O Series or OneSource Determination integrated with SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA. - Excellent written, verbal, presentation, and executive-level communication skills. - Ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence client and internal stakeholders. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex business requirements into practical solutions. - Demonstrated ability to coach and develop consulting professionals. Preferred Skills bullet list: - Experience implementing Vertex O Series and Vertex Accelerator or Accelerator+ in SAP environments. - Experience supporting SAP S/4HANA transformations or migrations. - Knowledge of REST APIs, web services, middleware, data analytics, or custom tax automation solutions. - Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, Lean, or other structured implementation methodologies. We can combine Computer Skills, Required Skills, Preferred Skills into a single Skills section with maybe subheadings? But we cannot use other headings besides the allowed ones. We could just list all as

        • under Skills. But we need to differentiate required vs preferred? Not required; we can just list all. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep them as separate lists but still under Skills heading. We could have two
            blocks: one for Required Skills, one for Preferred Skills, plus a paragraph for Computer Skills. That's fine. Now Benefits section: we have bullet list as earlier. Pay section: we have compensation ranges for various states. We need to preserve all substantive information. The text includes multiple lines for different states. We should keep them as a list maybe. Could be
            • each line. We must not include boilerplate like "Pay Transparency". We can keep the ranges. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's construct. Structure:

              About the role

              Responsibilities

              Skills

              Computer Skills: ...

              ? Not allowed. We cannot use other headings. So we can just have a

              for computer skills, then

                for required skills, then
                  for preferred skills. That's okay. But we need to avoid extra headings. So we can do:
