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. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay (salary ranges) and Benefits (medical, dental, pension, 401k, PTO, flexible vacation, holidays). Also schedule? It mentions hybrid model: expectation for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project, or year. Also mentions travel at least 50% of the time. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that info.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from intro paragraphs). Responsibilities (Your Key Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe "To qualify for this role, you must have ..."). Qualifications (maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we need to decide). The posting includes "To qualify for this role, you must have Undergraduate emphasis in accounting and approximately 6 years of related work experience...". Also "Approved technical certification, CPA license or membership to state Bar or progress to attaining those mentioned". Also "Relevant experience in one or more of the following specialty areas ...". That's qualifications.
Skills: "Skills And Attributes For Success" includes Indirect tax experience, managerial, leadership, organizational, communication skills, ability to travel at least 50% of the time.
Benefits: described later: medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, wide range of paid time off options, flexible vacation policy, time off for designated holidays, etc.
Pay: salary ranges listed.
Schedule: hybrid model expectation 60% in person, travel 50%.
Also maybe "What We Look For" could be part of About the role or Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication.
We must not include boilerplate like "Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model." Actually that is schedule info.
We must not include repeated lines like "Are you ready to shape your future with confidence? Apply today." repeated multiple times; we should keep only once? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should keep only one instance maybe. But we need to preserve substantive information; the repeated motivational lines are not substantive? They are fluff; but they might be considered boilerplate. Probably we can drop them.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:

Make sure not to include empty sections. Now extract content. About the role: The posting starts with location list, then "At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence. We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world. Will you shape the future or will the future shape you? The opportunity Tax Technology and Transformation offers services to companies in response to the impact of existing and emerging technology, including the growing data burden that many businesses face, driving efficiencies to create a cost-effective tax function and the need to understand how to make data an asset. The underlying objective of the combined offerings is to help businesses navigate the digital age of tax transparency alongside new trends in tax compliance and tax audit methods, as well as helping to solve the most pressing challenges that businesses face. Tax Technology and Transformation is composed of the following services ..." Then list of services. Then "Today's dynamic corporate environment is changing the way tax is doing business. The most comprehensive solution for developing and maintaining tax controls in the area of indirect taxes is the implementation of a transaction tax calculation engine to automate the tax determination, calculation and compliance processes with respect to our client's sales and/or purchases. Their transactional systems may include enterprise-wide applications (ERP systems), homegrown systems, and/or web-based storefronts. Their tax calculation engine may be the internal functionality within an ERP system, a third-party bolt-on tax application (such as Vertex, Sabrix or Avalara), a custom solution, or a combination of several solutions. This is an area that has seen plenty of recent growth and investment – and you will see that reflected in your career. It is no exaggeration to say that you will be working on highly publicized projects. The field of taxation is constantly changing as new laws, regulations and technologies are created, and this is your opportunity to be part of that development." We need to preserve all substantive info. That's a lot. We can summarize? The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot summarize away detail; we need to keep the details. But we can keep them as paragraphs; we don't need to bullet list services unless they are a list. The services list is a list; we should use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So the services list should be a
- . Also the responsibilities list should be
- .
Now Responsibilities: "Your Key Responsibilities" bullet list:
- Help client tax departments operate at peak efficiency and productivity and better position them to take advantage of tax saving opportunities that might otherwise go undetected.
- Transfer control of tax decision-making from the transaction processing personnel and outside vendors to the tax specialists within our client's tax department.
- Understand how to define the solution, coordinate the necessary technical resources, and deliver a finished product that fulfills the client's goals and tax requirements, including:
- Ability to lead a team, mentor counselees and manage client-serving business
- Documenting and reviewing current state tax processes and controls to identify enhancement opportunities
- Supporting the development of a business case to justify tax process enhancement solutions
- Providing support during the indirect tax software/ vendor selection process
- Documenting tax data requirements
- Implementing automated indirect tax calculation and compliance solutions
- Supporting the development of data analytics solutions focused on indirect tax
- Supporting the implementation of global digital tax reporting solutions
Note: The "including:" introduces a sublist. We'll treat as list items under Responsibilities. Could flatten.
Thus Responsibilities
- with items.
Now Requirements: "To qualify for this role, you must have Undergraduate emphasis in accounting and approximately 6 years of related work experience in indirect tax process improvement experience or equivalent experience in business or industry; or a master's degree and approximately 4 years of related work experience preferredApproved technical certification, CPA license or membership to state Bar or progress to attaining those mentionedRelevant experience in one or more of the following specialty areasindirect tax software products such as Vertex, ONESOURCE (fka, Sabrix), AvalaraERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, etc., procurement systems such as Ariba, Coupa, etc."
We need to parse. It's a bit messy. Let's extract:
- Undergraduate emphasis in accounting and approximately 6 years of related work experience in indirect tax process improvement experience or equivalent experience in business or industry;
- or a master's degree and approximately 4 years of related work experience preferred
- Approved technical certification, CPA license or membership to state Bar or progress to attaining those mentioned
- Relevant experience in one or more of the following specialty areas:
- indirect tax software products such as Vertex, ONESOURCE (fka, Sabrix), Avalara
- ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, etc.
- procurement systems such as Ariba, Coupa, etc.
We'll make list.
Now
- . Requirements list also
- . Skills list also
- . Benefits list also
- . For About the role, we can keep paragraphs.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. No job title present.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — none.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO statement at the end, the "EY | Building a better working world" etc. Also the "EY provides equal employment opportunities..." etc. Also the "If you have a disability..." etc. Also the "To make the most of your application experience, please limit yourself to two applications within a six-month period." etc. Also "EY accepts applications for this position on an on-going basis." etc. Also "For those living in California, please click here for additional information." etc. Also the repeated "Are you ready to shape your future with confidence? Apply today." We'll keep maybe one instance? But it's application instruction; we should remove it. So we will not include any "Apply today" lines.
Also remove "Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model."? That's schedule info, keep.
Now let's extract each section.
**About the role**: We'll combine the introductory paragraphs up to before "Your Key Responsibilities". Include location list? The location list at top: "Location: New York, Hoboken, Iselin, Washington, Chicago, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles". That's substantive info about where the job is located. Should we include? It's location info; could be part of About the role. We'll include as a paragraph.
Thus About the role paragraph(s):
- Location list.
- At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence...
- Will you shape the future or will the future shape you?
- The opportunity Tax Technology and Transformation offers services...
- The underlying objective...

We need to keep the services list as
- . Let's extract services list:
From posting: "Tax Technology and Transformation is composed of the following services Digital tax transformationTax applications-as-a-serviceTax data and improvementTax analytics and reporting enhancementEmerging tax technology, including robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, cloud solutions, data lake development and business intelligence innovationTax technology program mobilizationCustom tax technology application development and deploymentTax technology strategy and road mappingDirect and indirect tax systems implementation and configurationPost-transaction (M&A) tax function operational servicesTax operating model transformation, including process improvement, risk and controlsTax function assessments"
It seems missing commas; but we can split by capital letters? Better to keep as is but as list items. We'll separate each service as a line item. Let's list them:
- Digital tax transformation
- Tax applications-as-a-service
- Tax data and improvement
- Tax analytics and reporting enhancement
- Emerging tax technology, including robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, cloud solutions, data lake development and business intelligence innovation
