Tax Compliance Officer III

State of Vermont · Montpelier, VT · 1 mo ago
$26.5–$41.37/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview, Essential Duties And Responsibilities, The Ideal Candidate, About The Compliance Division, Background Checks, Who May Apply, Environmental Factors, Minimum Qualifications, Total Compensation, Equal Opportunity Employer (but we must remove EEO boilerplate). Also we need to include sections only if real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So remove "Equal Opportunity Employer" section entirely. Also remove "Who May Apply"? It includes application instructions (apply online, contact email). That's application instructions, so we should remove that section. Also remove "Background Checks"? It's not boilerplate but maybe considered required info; it's substantive. Keep it? It's about fingerprinting and background check; it's relevant. Keep. Remove "Environmental Factors"? It's substantive about work setting; keep. Remove "Minimum Qualifications"? Keep. Remove "Total Compensation"? Keep (benefits details). It's a list of benefits; we should format as

    • . We also have "Overview" which is like About the role. Could map to "About the role" heading. The instructions: use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate. We have Overview (About the role). Essential Duties And Responsibilities -> Responsibilities. The Ideal Candidate -> maybe Qualifications or Skills? Could be Qualifications. About The Compliance Division maybe not a standard heading; but we could treat as About the role? Already have About the role. Could merge? But we must not create filler sections. We could keep as a separate section with heading "About the Compliance Division" but that's not in the list; but instructions say use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not limited to? It says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings only. So we should map content to those standard headings. If a section doesn't fit, maybe we omit or incorporate elsewhere. Let's see: - Overview: About the role. - Essential Duties And Responsibilities: Responsibilities. - The Ideal Candidate: Qualifications (or Skills). It mentions curious, collaborative, self-motivated, growth mindset, thinks holistically, experience in government tax environment, tax administration, collections, or compliance. That's qualifications/skills. Could be Qualifications. - About The Compliance Division: maybe we could incorporate into About the role or omit? It's descriptive of division; could be part of About the role. But we already have About the role from Overview. Could merge? But we must preserve all substantive information; we could keep About the role section and include both overview and division description. That's fine. - Background Checks: could be under Requirements? Or maybe a separate section like Requirements? But not in list. Could be under Requirements (since it's a requirement). We'll put under Requirements. - Who May Apply: application instructions -> remove. - Environmental Factors: maybe under Schedule? Not exactly. Could be under Responsibilities? Not. Could be under Requirements? Not. Could be under Skills? Not. Could be under Benefits? Not. Could be under Pay? Not. Could be under Schedule? Not. Could be under "Work Environment" but not in list. Since we must only include sections when posting has real specific content for it, and we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could incorporate Environmental Factors into Responsibilities or Requirements? Might be okay to add a section "Work Environment" but not in list; risk of not following instruction. However instruction says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we can use other headings as needed, but they gave examples. Safer to stick to those headings. We could map Environmental Factors to Schedule? Not really. Could map to Responsibilities? Not. Could map to Requirements? Not. Could map to Skills? Not. Could map to Benefits? Not. Could map to Pay? Not. Could map to About the role? Could include as part of About the role description. That might be acceptable: we can add a paragraph about work environment under About the role. - Minimum Qualifications: that's Requirements. So we can put under Requirements. - Total Compensation: Benefits. So we put under Benefits. - Pay: we have salary range info. So we need a Pay section. - Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section if no specific content. So omit. Thus final sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Qualifications (h3) maybe combine with Requirements? But we have both Minimum Qualifications and Ideal Candidate; we could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, and Ideal Candidate under Qualifications. Benefits (h3), Pay (h3). Possibly also Background Checks? Could be under Requirements as well (since it's a requirement). We'll include bullet list under Requirements for background check. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Overview paragraph: "Looking for a career with purpose on a collaborative team? At the Department of Taxes, we invest in your growth and challenge you to solve meaningful problems that make a difference. If you are curious, motivated by public service, and enjoy helping people navigate complex challenges, we want to hear from you!

The role also evaluates cases and takes enforcement action when necessary to ensure compliance with applicable tax laws. Assignments range from routine to moderately complex, requiring sound judgment, strong communication skills, and the ability to analyze information and develop effective solutions." We can keep that as About the role. Responsibilities: list from "Essential Duties And Responsibilities".

In accordance with VDT Standard Operating Procedure 2018-01, Background Investigations, Vermont and national criminal record checks will be conducted on all candidates. Candidates will have the right to withdraw their application before fingerprinting or a background check is conducted." We can combine into a
          maybe separate paragraphs. But we can put as

          for prose and maybe a

            for the qualification options. Qualifications (Ideal Candidate): "The Ideal Candidate Is curious, collaborative, and self-motivated, with a growth mindset and the ability to adapt and thrive in a changing environment. Thinks holistically and can “connect the dots” by evaluating the full picture to identify practical solutions that help taxpayers achieve and maintain compliance.

The starting salary for this position may be negotiable depending on experience and qualifications. The annual salary for this position ranges from approximately $55,120 to $86,049. The annual salary range reflects the minimum and maximum salary potential in the assigned pay grade. The annual salary is calculated based on 2080 hours of annual compensation and does not include authorized overtime or other compensation. It also does not include any time taken off payroll." We'll put as

            . We should also incorporate Environmental Factors maybe into About the role or Responsibilities? Could add a paragraph under About the role about work environment: "Duties are performed primarily in a standard office setting. Workload is consistently heavy with constant need for prompt and accurate decision making. Duties involve sensitive, sometimes controversial subject which may lead to emotional and adversarial situations. Incumbents must be able to function independently in a confrontational, even hostile environment, must be able to prioritize their own workload and multi-task effectively. Duties are highly confidential in nature. Occasional travel may require use of state vehicle or private means of transportation." We'll add that as a paragraph under About the role after overview. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Equal Opportunity Employer", "Who May Apply", application instructions, etc. Now produce HTML:
