Tax Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About ETS" then description of role. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). It includes "Tax Technology, Data, and Automation" and "Process Outputs and Deliverables" and "People Management". Those could be part of responsibilities. Also "Required Competencies" and "Position Specifications — Other Requirements" and "Position Specifications — Education and Experience". Those map to Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

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

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to include About the role? The posting starts with "About ETS" then description of role. Could treat that as About the role. We'll include an

  About the role

  with paragraph(s) summarizing ETS description and role purpose. Must preserve all substantive info: we can't omit details. But we can combine into paragraphs. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading (not present). No Job ID. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Let's extract content. About ETS paragraph: "ETS is a global education and talent solutions organization enabling lifelong learners worldwide to be future-ready.

Then role description: "The Tax Manager supports the Enterprise Tax Service Group in completing monthly, quarterly, and year-end tax reporting and compliance requirements across ETS’s taxable and tax-exempt entities. The position is responsible for federal, state, and local income and franchise tax compliance for taxable subsidiaries, for exempt-organization compliance for the parent and affiliated exempt entities, and for oversight of U.S. indirect taxes. The role prepares and reviews the annual and interim income tax provision under ASC 740, manages the compliance calendar across all filing types, responds to notices and audits, and applies tax technology and data tooling to simplify and accelerate recurring processes. The role liaises with SBU and Corporate Finance, Legal, Treasury, Procurement, Supplier Management, Information Technology, and external auditors, and coordinates external advisors and co-sourcing providers to ensure accurate and timely filing across the enterprise." We can combine into About the role section. Now Responsibilities: The "Key Responsibilities" list many bullet-like sentences each ending with period. We need to turn each into
• . Also there are sub-sections like "Tax Technology, Data, and Automation", "Process Outputs and Deliverables", "People Management". Those could be part of responsibilities as well, but they have headings inside. We could treat them as subheadings? But spec only allows h3 for section headings; we could embed them as

  ? Not allowed. Better to incorporate their content into responsibilities list. Thus we will create a

  with each responsibility item. Let's list them: - Manage federal, state, and local income and franchise tax compliance for ETS’s taxable subsidiaries. - Prepare or review the consolidated federal return, separate and combined state returns, apportionment schedules, estimated payments, and extensions, and maintain the supporting workpapers. - Manage exempt-organization compliance for the parent and affiliated exempt entities. - Prepare or review Forms 990, 990-T with a separate Schedule A for each unrelated trade or business under Section 512(a)(6), and state charitable registration and UBIT filings, including required disclosures and attachments, filed electronically through IRS Modernized e-File. - Prepare and review the annual and interim income tax provision under ASC 740, including current and deferred computations, deferred tax inventory, valuation allowance analysis, uncertain tax positions, and the expanded rate reconciliation and income-taxes-paid. - Support the external audit of the tax accounts. - Provide oversight of U.S. indirect taxes — sales and use, gross receipts, and excise.

Recommend positions to the Corporate Tax Senior Director for approval. - Monitor federal, state, and exempt-organization legislative and regulatory developments, assess the impact on ETS, and communicate the implications to the tax function and to affected stakeholders. - Manage other recurring tax filings and obligations, including information reporting (Forms 1099 and 1042-S), property tax, unclaimed property, and support for foreign information returns and transfer pricing documentation. - Identify, design, and implement automation and process improvement across the compliance and provision cycles, and maintain the documentation, review evidence, and change-control records that keep tax processes, models, and automations auditable and reproducible. - Coordinate external advisors and co-sourcing providers on deliverables, data exchanges, and deadlines, and escalate scope or quality issues to the Corporate Tax Senior Director. - Supervise, coach, develop tax professionals, and work cross-functionally to understand the business entities, identify tax planning opportunities, and support the operationalization of new business models. Then Tax Technology, Data, and Automation section: It describes expected hands-on work with tools. Could be part of responsibilities as well. We'll add items: - Maintain entity and jurisdiction structures, provision templates, and data feeds from the general ledger and consolidation systems for income tax provision software; support the provision-to-return process. - Review taxability mapping, jurisdiction and rate content, and certificate management for indirect tax determination and compliance platforms; validate engine output against source transactions and participate in user acceptance testing for rate, rule, and system changes. - Build and maintain repeatable data pipelines and reconciliations using AI technology for data preparation and analytics. - Represent tax requirements on ERP, procurement, expense, and billing changes, from design specification through post-implementation validation for enterprise systems. - Use ETS-approved generative and agentic AI tools to accelerate tax research, first-draft memoranda, document and contract data extraction, and anomaly detection on provision and transaction data; independently verify AI-assisted output against authoritative source material, retain citations, and review before use; adhere to ETS information security, data classification, and AI governance policies; ensure confidential or personally identifiable data is not entered into unapproved tools. Process Outputs and Deliverables list: Could be responsibilities as deliverables. We'll add items: - Consolidated federal income tax return; state and local income and franchise returns; estimates and extensions - Forms 990 and 990-T with per-activity Schedule A support; state charitable registration and UBIT filings - U.S. sales and use, gross receipts, and excise returns and reconciliations (reviewed) - ASC 740 provision workpapers, provision-to-return reconciliations, and ASU 2023-09 disclosure support - Tax accruals, budgets, forecasts, and cash tax projections - Technical memoranda, research files, and recommended tax positions - Notice and audit response packages across income, exempt-organization, and indirect tax matters - Information reporting, property tax, and unclaimed property filings; foreign information return and transfer pricing support - Tax metrics and management reporting; ad hoc analysis and contract review support People Management: Could be responsibilities as well.

Now Required Competencies: list of competencies with levels. We'll put under Requirements or Qualifications? The spec: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include. We have responsibilities covered. For requirements/qualifications/skills we need to map content. We have "Required Competencies" with list of competencies and expected level (Mastery/Expertise etc). Also "Position Specifications — Other Requirements" list of abilities. And "Position Specifications — Education and Experience" list. We could combine into Requirements (maybe includes education/experience) and Qualifications (maybe includes competencies) and Skills (maybe includes technical skills). But we must not create thin sections; better to have a few substantive sections. We could have: - Requirements (Education & Experience) - Qualifications (Competencies) - Skills (Technical & Other Requirements) But we need to ensure each section has real specific content. Let's extract: Education and Experience: - Candidates with experience spanning both taxable and tax-exempt entities are preferred. Candidates with depth on one side and demonstrated ability to learn the other will be considered. - Required: B.S. degree in Accounting or Finance. - Preferred: CPA, J.D., or M.S.T. - Required: seven to ten years of corporate tax experience in industry, public accounting, or a combination. - Required: federal and state corporate income and franchise tax compliance experience, including consolidated or combined filings and apportionment. - Required: strong technical skills and demonstrated experience with ASC 740. - Required: working knowledge of U.S. sales and use tax, including nexus, taxability determination, and exemption certificate management. - Required: demonstrated experience preparing or reviewing tax workpapers and reconciliations in a controlled, documented environment. - Preferred: exempt-organization tax experience, including Forms 990 and 990-T and unrelated business income analysis under Section 512(a)(6). - Preferred: experience with state and local tax controversy, audits, and notice resolution. - Preferred: experience with information r (cut off). The text ends abruptly: "Preferred: experience with information r". Probably incomplete; we should not include incomplete info? It says "Preferred: experience with information r". That's likely truncated; we should not invent. We'll omit that line as it's incomplete. Other Requirements: - Ability to move between for-profit and not-for-profit tax rules and to recognize which framework applies to a given entity or transaction. - Strong
