We need to output HTML fragment with headings

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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description and extract sections. The description includes: - Intro about firm (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the introductory paragraph describing the firm and role. We'll treat that as About the role. - "YOUR TEAM." paragraph about team. - "WHY COHNREZNICK?" about benefits/culture. - "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To" then bullet list. - "Your Experience." list of qualifications. - Then "In addition, please take a moment to review our Universal Job Standards." (boilerplate) then diversity encouragement. - Then salary range: "In Maryland, the salary range for a National Tax Senior Manager is $150,000 to $250,000." - Then description of total rewards package. - Then legal boilerplate about brand name, etc. - Then EEO statement. - Then accommodation contact. - Then third-party recruiter note. We need to include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: likely the introductory paragraphs describing the firm and the role: "As CohnReznick grows...". Also maybe "YOUR TEAM." Could be part of About the role or separate? But we only have limited sections; we can combine. - Responsibilities: the bullet list under "YOUR ROLE. Responsibilities Include But Not Limited To". That includes: provide sales tax compliance and consulting services involving audit controversy, due diligence, tax projections, research for a diverse client base, and more. This will include broad exposure to our Sales Tax Compliance Practice. Additionally, this role will: Enhance your project and task management skills. Allow for personal and professional development (support and mentoring from experienced CPAs in the accounting, auditing, and tax areas of the firm) Give you the opportunity to work collaboratively with the broader CohnReznick team in delivering the highest quality service to our clients Allow for the ability to interact directly with our clients on a regular basis to better understand and serve their needs Provide the opportunity to participate in industry, alumni, and community networking events. We need to format as
  • items. - Requirements: maybe the "Your Experience." list includes required qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Accounting; Master's in Tax is a plus. CPA, CMA, CMI, JD, or EA is required. A minimum of 7+ years of progressive experience in indirect tax roles, with emphasis on US sales and use tax. Proficiency in sales tax compliance software, preferably Avalara for Accountants. Solid experience in researching and addressing multi-state sales tax matters. Exceptional client service and communication skills with a demonstrated ability to develop and maintain outstanding client relationships Strong leadership, and mentoring skills, coupled with excellent written, interpersonal, and presentation skills Proven competence with MS Office, including advanced Excel skills Working knowledge of tax software, including CCH and RIA Checkpoint Solid organizational skills with a demonstrated ability to multi-task Travel required - approximately 10% We could split into Requirements (education, certifications, experience) and Skills (software, technical skills). But we have both Requirements and Qualifications and Skills sections available. We need to decide what to put where. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). They gave examples. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we can have multiple sections. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to include Pay section because salary range is given. Schedule: The posting mentions hybrid work: "While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: The posting mentions Total Rewards package: generous PTO, flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, paid time off for volunteers. Also mention discretionary performance bonus, generous paid time off, expanded, and inclusive parental benefits, access to best-in-class learning and development platforms. Also mention "We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer." Also earlier "WHY COHNREZNICK?" includes benefits like work-life balance, enjoyment, fun. So we can include Benefits section. Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements; but we can treat Requirements as the mandatory items (education, certifications, experience) and Qualifications as preferred or additional qualifications (Master's in Tax is a plus, etc). However the posting lumps them together. We could put all under Requirements and skip Qualifications if no distinct content. But we need to avoid empty headings. So we could either not include Qualifications if no distinct content, or we could split: Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Accounting; CPA, CMA, CMI, JD, or EA required; 7+ years progressive experience in indirect tax roles; proficiency in sales tax compliance software preferably Avalara; solid experience researching multi-state sales tax; exceptional client service and communication skills; strong leadership and mentoring skills; excellent written, interpersonal, presentation skills; proven competence with MS Office advanced Excel; working knowledge of tax software CCH and RIA Checkpoint; solid organizational skills multi-task; travel required ~10%. Qualifications: Master's in Tax is a plus (maybe also "desire to expand knowledge", "growth mindset", "eager to collaborate on thought leadership, webinars, seminars", "results focused"). Those are more like desired attributes. Could go under Qualifications. Skills: Could be technical skills: proficiency in sales tax compliance software, Avalara, MS Office advanced Excel, tax software CCH and RIA Checkpoint. But we already included those in Requirements. Might be redundant. Better to follow typical structure: Requirements (education, certifications, experience), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (technical skills). But we have overlapping. Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we might combine into fewer sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 6 sections. That seems reasonable. We must not include sections with filler. So we will not include Qualifications or Skills if we merge them into Requirements. Thus sections: - About the role: include introductory paragraphs about firm, role, team, why CohnReznick (maybe combine). But we need to avoid duplication. We'll write a concise paragraph summarizing the firm and role. - Responsibilities: bullet list. - Requirements: bullet list of education, certifications, experience, skills, travel. - Benefits: bullet list of benefits (PTO, flexible work, parental leave, learning & development, volunteer time, performance bonus, etc.) - Pay: paragraph with salary range. - Schedule: paragraph about hybrid expectation (average 3 days in office). We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, third-party recruiter, legal brand name, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "Bachelor's degree in Accounting; Master's in Tax is a plus. CPA, CMA, CMI, JD, or EA is required. A minimum of 7+ years of progressive experience in indirect tax roles, with emphasis on US sales and use tax. Proficiency in sales tax compliance software, preferably Avalara for Accountants. Solid experience in researching and addressing multi-state sales tax matters. Exceptional client service and communication skills with a demonstrated ability to develop and maintain outstanding client relationships Strong leadership, and mentoring skills, coupled with excellent written, interpersonal, and presentation skills Proven competence with MS Office, including advanced Excel skills Working knowledge of tax software, including CCH and RIA Checkpoint Solid organizational skills with a demonstrated ability to multi-task Travel required - approximately 10%". We need to keep all that. We also need to keep the responsibilities details exactly as given, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should not paraphrase to lose detail, but we can rephrase as long as we keep all info. Safer to keep the exact sentences but maybe break into bullet points. We need to avoid duplication: The responsibilities list includes a sentence: "The primary responsibility will be to provide sales tax compliance and consulting services involving audit controversy, due diligence, tax projections, research for a diverse client base, and more. This will include broad exposure to our Sales Tax Compliance Practice." Then bullet list starting with "Additionally, this role will:" followed by items separated by periods. We'll split each item. Let's extract responsibilities: - Provide sales tax compliance and consulting services involving audit controversy, due diligence, tax projections, research for a diverse client base, and more. (This includes broad exposure to our Sales Tax Compliance Practice.) - Enhance your project and task management skills. - Allow for personal and professional development (support and mentoring from experienced CPAs in the accounting, auditing, and tax areas of the firm). - Give you the opportunity to work collaboratively with the broader CohnReznick team in delivering the highest quality service to our clients. - Allow for the ability to interact directly with our clients on a regular basis to better understand and serve their needs. - Provide the opportunity to participate in industry, alumni, and community networking events. We need to keep the parenthetical note. Now About the role: We need to include the firm description and role context. Let's capture: "As CohnReznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation’s top Professional Services and Business Advisory firms, we foster teams in Advisory, Assurance, and Tax services that value innovation and collaboration in everything they do! CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients’ unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia. We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Tax Senior Manager to join the SALT team in our National Tax practice. CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week." But note that the hybrid schedule part we will put in Schedule section; we might still mention hybrid nature in About the role but not duplicate schedule details. We can keep a brief statement: "This position is considered hybrid." But schedule details go to Schedule. Also "YOUR TEAM. This position will support our National Tax Team, which in turn supports the firm’s broader tax practice. The right candidate will have a growth mindset and look for ways to expand their knowledge within both the tax space associated with their specialized services and varying industries. They will also be eager to collaborate on thought leadership, webinars, and seminars while remaining results focused on assisting both internal and external clients in achieving their wide-ranging business goals." That could be part of About the role or separate but we can incorporate. "WHY CO
