We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: description of position, responsibilities? Actually we can have "About the role" as a heading with prose summarizing the role. - Responsibilities: list of duties (strategic leadership, AI and emerging tech, security operations, compliance, awareness, culture, team). Could be bullet list. - Requirements: Required Qualifications (list). Also maybe "Qualifications" heading? The instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications? Might be redundant. Probably we should combine Required Qualifications under "Requirements" and Preferred Qualifications under "Qualifications" or "Preferred Qualifications". But they said use headings for those categories; we can include both. - Skills: maybe extract from required qualifications: leadership, communication, etc. Could list. - Benefits: list of benefits given. - Pay: not mentioned; no pay info, so we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: Work Schedule details. We must not include sections with placeholder or vague like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions, background check requirement? Might be considered boilerplate? It's substantive? It says "Background Check Requirement Finalists may be required to submit to a criminal background check." Might be considered generic but it's part of posting. However instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Background check maybe not boilerplate but could be considered legal. Might be safe to keep? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. Background check is legal. I'd drop it. Also "Submission Guidelines" etc are application instructions; drop. Also "Additional Information" etc drop. Also "Copyright" drop. Thus we keep: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe derived), Benefits (list), Schedule (work schedule). Ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract substantive content. About the role: The position details paragraph: "Information Technology and Security at The University of Tampa has a position available for an Assistant Vice President, Information Security, reporting to the Vice President, Information Technology and Security. The AVP is responsible for assisting the VP information Technology & Security (CIO/CISO) with establishing and executing a multi-year security strategy that protects students, faculty, staff, and institutional data in a threat landscape increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, identity-based attacks, and third-party risk. This role handles executive duties such as briefing cabinet or board members, leading the ITS CCIRT team and major incident investigations in a collaborative team environment. It calls for a keen understanding of the intersection between business, academic and security requirements as well as evaluating technology solutions that departments wish to purchase, setting risk-based criteria that enables innovation and productivity. Additionally, this position leads or participates in audits, conducts risk assessments, and creates corrective actions or improvements to optimize the information security program, procedures, or data protection. This is a strategy-first leadership role. The AVP leads the Information Security department and the university's certified ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS), but success in this position is measured by the ability to anticipate where risk is moving, align security investments with institutional priorities, and communicate clearly with executive-level audiences - not solely by day-to-day operational execution, which the AVP is expected to build a team capable of running. This position is designated as an essential employee and may be required to report to work as scheduled when university offices are closed due to severe weather or other conditions." We can keep that as prose under About the role. Responsibilities: The sections after that: Strategic Leadership, Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology, Security Operations and Incident Response, Compliance and the ISMS, Awareness, Culture, and Team. Each has bullet-like paragraphs. We can combine into a list. Let's extract bullet points: Strategic Leadership: - Owns and maintains the university's multi-year information security strategy and roadmap, aligning it with institutional goals, the enterprise risk register, and the realities of a private, residential, four-year university environment. - Sets and sequences security priorities using risk-based judgment: distinguishing the initiatives that require the AVP's direct leadership from those that should be delegated to capable staff and empowering the team accordingly. - Communicates security posture, risk trends, and program progress to the VP and Cabinet-level audiences in clear, non-technical, decision-ready terms. - Integrates security considerations into strategic and tactical planning, budget preparation, and major initiatives across ITS and the university - acting as a partner in enabling institutional goals, not a gatekeeper. - Develops the annual security budget and multi-year investment plan, making defensible trade-off recommendations and demonstrating return on security investment. - Continuously scans emerging threats, technologies, and higher education security trends, translating them into concrete, prioritized action for the university. Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology: - Partners with university AI governance efforts, contributing security expertise to AI acceptable use policy, data classification guidance for AI tools, and the review and approval of AI platforms and integrations. - Builds and matures defenses against AI-enabled threats, including AI-generated phishing, deepfake-driven social engineering and fraud, and automated credential attacks. - Assesses the security implications of enterprise AI adoption - including generative AI platforms, AI agents, and AI features embedded in existing vendor products - and establishes controls proportionate to institutional risk. - Evaluates and adopts the responsible use of AI within the security program itself, including AI-assisted detection, response, and security awareness capabilities. - Leads third-party and vendor AI risk review as part of the university's technology approval and procurement processes. Security Operations and Incident Response: - Coordinates the development, implementation, and administration of security policies, standards, and programs for ITS and other areas of the university as applicable. - Leads the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) and co-leads the Business Continuity Emergency Incident Response Team (BCEIRT), ensuring plans are tested, current, and understood. - Oversees a modern defensive posture spanning identity and access management, cloud and SaaS security, endpoint protection, email security, data loss prevention, and vulnerability management, with progress toward zero trust principles. - Coordinates the assessment of systems and network security risks, including risk analysis, threat assessments, and contingency planning. - Completes incident reports and investigations of policy violations and suspected material incidents, including any required regulatory notifications. - Participates in project development across ITS to ensure security best practices are built in from the start. Compliance and the ISMS: - Manages the ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS, maintaining and improving documentation, processes, policies, plans, and corrective actions. - Compiles evidence of compliance with the major regulations and requirements affecting the university - including GLBA, FERPA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and applicable data privacy laws - recognizing that university data spans multiple regulated categories and frameworks concurrently. - Participates in multiple annual audits across the university's ISO management systems, penetration tests, third-party security assessments, PCI compliance audits, and GLBA audits. Awareness, Culture, and Team: - Oversees effective, engaging security awareness programs - including AI-era threat education - that measurably change behavior across students, faculty, and staff. - Builds, develops, and retains a high-performing security team, delegating operational ownership with clear accountability and coaching staff toward greater autonomy. - Serves as an approachable, visible member of the ITS leadership team and a trusted, down-to-earth partner to departments across campus. - Facilitates and directs the timely dissemination of security information to the university community. - Contributes to a work environment that encourages knowledge of, respect for, and development of skills to engage with those of other cultures and backgrounds. - Attends conferences and training as required to maintain proficiency. That's responsibilities. Requirements (Required Qualifications): - Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field. - Ten (10) years of varied information technology experience, including extensive supervisory experience and at least seven (7) years of directly related information security experience. - Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or an equivalent information security professional certification. - Demonstrated success developing and executing an information security strategy - not solely operating a program - including experience presenting to executive or board-level audiences. - Working knowledge of the security implications of enterprise AI adoption and AI-enabled threats, with the ability to translate both into practical policy and controls. - Deep working knowledge of the regulatory landscape governing higher education information security, including GLBA, FERPA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, with demonstrated experience maintaining compliance across multiple frameworks simultaneously and translating regulatory requirements into practical controls, evidence, and audit readiness. - Familiarity or experience with ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 22301:2019, and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 management systems, with the ability to become certified as a Lead Auditor in each. - Strong leadership and supervisory skills, including proven ability to delegate effectively - quickly distinguishing what requires direct involvement from what belongs with the team - and to develop staff capable of owning operations. - A collaborative, approachable working style by building trust across departments, listening well, and working as a partner rather than an enforcer. - A fast, decisive working pace with strong follow-through; comfortable making sound decisions with incomplete information and adjusting as facts develop. - Demonstrated skills in budget development, financial management, and resource management. - Excellent oral and written communication skills, including the ability to make complex security topics clear to non-technical audiences. - Excellent organizational and time management skills; demonstrated ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet established deadlines. - Willingness to embrace new technologies and innovative organizational practices.

Skills: Could extract from required qualifications: leadership, communication, budgeting, etc. But we could also just list skills like: Strategic planning, Risk management, AI security knowledge, Regulatory compliance (GLBA, FERPA, HIPAA, PCI DSS), ISO/IEC 27001, Team leadership, Communication, Budget development, etc. However we must not invent details not in posting. We can derive from required qualifications: strong leadership and supervisory skills, collaborative approachable style, fast decisive pace, budget development skills, excellent oral/written communication, excellent organizational/time management, willingness to embrace new tech. Also we have "demonstrated success developing and executing an information security strategy". Also "working knowledge of security implications of enterprise AI adoption". Also "deep working knowledge of regulatory landscape". Also "familiarity with ISO/IEC 27001 etc". Also "certified CISSP". So we can list skills accordingly. But we must avoid creating a Skills section if it's just repeating qualifications. However instruction allows Skills heading. We'll include a concise list.
