Senior Tax Analyst / Finance Sr Asst Manager/Analyst
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Work Modality" maybe part of schedule? Actually schedule: we have "Work Modality" describing remote-friendly hybrid. Also "Work Hours STANDARD 8-5". So schedule can be derived. Pay: "Salary is commensurate with experience." That's not specific; we should NOT create Pay section because it's not specific (commensurate with experience). So we omit Pay. Benefits: none mentioned. So omit Benefits. Skills: maybe we can extract from desired qualifications: nonresident reporting software, international tax issues, working with nonresident stakeholders, CPA. Could be under Skills or Qualifications. We need to decide sections.
We have sections: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements (Minimum Requirements). Qualifications (Desired Qualifications). Skills maybe combine with Qualifications? But we can have Skills separate if we have specific skill list. Could list: International tax reporting, Form 1042-S, Thomson Reuters Tax Navigator, treaty analysis, substantial presence test, financial system document processing, policy development, training stakeholders. That's from responsibilities. Could put under Skills.
We must not create sections with filler. So include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule (from Work Modality and Work Hours). No Pay, Benefits.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract content.
Position Summary paragraph: "The Office of the Controller seeks an experienced professional to join our Tax Services Office, supporting the Tax Manager with tax reporting and analysis, financial system document processing, and other administrative duties as assigned.

Skills: We can extract skill list: International tax reporting, Form 1042-S, Thomson Reuters Tax Navigator, treaty analysis, substantial presence test, financial system document processing, policy development, training stakeholders, guidance, etc. But we must not invent; we can derive from responsibilities. However we need to ensure we don't create filler. We could create a Skills section with bullet list of specific skills mentioned: International tax reporting, Form 1042-S preparation, Thomson Reuters Tax Navigator, treaty analysis, substantial presence test, financial system document processing per university manual and GASB, policy development, stakeholder training and guidance. That's derived from text; acceptable.
Schedule: Work Modality: "This position is 'remote-friendly' within Michigan, with the expectation of a regular on-campus presence. This is typically referred to as 'Hybrid', with the flexibility of regular remote work mixed with in-office work as mutually agreed upon with the supervisor." Also Work Hours: "STANDARD 8-5". Also Remote Work Statement: "MSU strives to provide a flexible work environment and this position has been designated as remote-friendly. Remote-friendly means some or all of the duties can be performed remotely as mutually agreed upon." That's somewhat duplicate. We'll combine into schedule section: Hybrid remote-friendly within Michigan, expectation of regular on-campus presence; standard work hours 8-5.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, website, bidding eligibility, etc.
