Sr Manager, Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only 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. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Company: Pregis - Job Title: Senior Manager – Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting - Location: Chicago, IL - Job Summary: Role will report directly into the Chief Accounting Officer and be responsible for owning all technical accounting and accounting policy matters for the Company, including but not limited to debt modifications/refinancings, goodwill impairment analyses, and revenue recognition. The role will lead the preparation of the quarterly financial reporting to lenders and annual U.S. GAAP financial statements. The role will also coordinate the preparation of the annual tax provision and annual tax compliance filings with third-party tax providers and assist with other controllership activities as required. In addition to reporting to the CAO, the role will have direct interactions with the global CFO, segment CFOs, and business unit finance directors. Individual will also work cross-functionally with FP&A and Treasury. - Responsibilities: list bullet points under Technical Accounting, Financial Reporting, Accounting Policies And Controls, Tax, Other. - Skills And Abilities: list. - Experience: 5 – 8 years of public accounting or commensurate industry experience; CPA a must. - Compensation: base pay range $130,000 to $155,000; mention benefits, bonuses. - Diversity and Inclusion: boilerplate EEO, we should remove. - Also "Why Join Pregis?" paragraph about company mission etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe summarizing job summary and why join), Responsibilities, Skills, Experience (maybe as Requirements/Qualifications), Pay, Benefits. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". For Experience we have concrete: 5 – 8 years of public accounting or commensurate industry experience; CPA a must. That's specific enough. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate like Diversity and Inclusion, EEO, etc. We must preserve all substantive info: include company description, job summary, responsibilities details, skills, experience, compensation, benefits mention. We need to format lists with

• . For prose use

  . We need to decide sections: - About the role: could combine "Why Join Pregis?" and Job Summary. Provide prose. - Responsibilities: list bullet points (maybe grouped under subheadings? But we only need

  for section headings; inside we can have

  • . Could also have subheadings but not required. We'll just list all responsibilities as bullet points. - Skills: list bullet points. - Requirements/Qualifications: maybe combine Experience and CPA requirement. Could call it "Requirements". Provide bullet list. - Pay: include base pay range. - Benefits: mention competitive benefits package, bonuses, other recognition. - Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We must not create empty sections. Now produce HTML. We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine the introductory paragraph about Pregis and why join, plus job summary. Paragraph: "We're Not Just in the Packaging Business–We're in the 'Wow' Business Pregis is Hiring! Why Join Pregis? Pregis is in the packaging business to protect what matters.

Then job summary: "Role will report directly into the Chief Accounting Officer and be responsible for owning all technical accounting and accounting policy matters for the Company, including but not limited to debt modifications/refinancings, goodwill impairment analyses, and revenue recognition. The role will lead the preparation of the quarterly financial reporting to lenders and annual U.S. GAAP financial statements.

In addition to reporting to the CAO, the role will have direct interactions with the global CFO, segment CFOs, and business unit finance directors.

We'll create Pay and Benefits sections. Pay: include base pay range and note that actual may vary. Benefits: mention competitive benefits package, bonuses, other on-the-spot recognition. We must not create Schedule. Now produce HTML. We'll start with
