We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraph about KPMG, then "KPMG is currently seeking an Associate Director, Cyber Operations (Countermeasure) to join our Enterprise Security Services organization." That's basically description. Then "Responsibilities:" with a long paragraph (actually a list of responsibilities but not bullet points). Then "Qualifications:" with bullet-like lines but not bullet markers. Then after qualifications, there is info about salary range, benefits, etc. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: About the role (maybe the intro paragraph), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? Let's see if posting includes specific content for Benefits: It says "KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year. Additionally, each year KPMG publishes a calendar of holidays to be observed during the year and provides eligible employees two breaks each year where employees will not be required to use Personal Time Off; one is at year end and the other is around the July 4th holiday." That's specific benefits content. So Benefits section should be included.
Pay: The posting includes "California Salary Range: $153000 - $297000" and also mentions "KPMG LLP and its subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges. If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires who will work in the location(s) listed." So we have specific salary range for California. So Pay section can be included with that range.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of "Depending on job classification, standard work hours, and years of service, KPMG provides Personal Time Off per fiscal year." That's about PTO, not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, remote. So we should NOT create Schedule section because no specific schedule content.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities and qualifications we need to turn them into list items. The responsibilities paragraph is a long sentence with semicolons separating items. We should split into list items based on semicolons? The instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The responsibilities are a list but not formatted as bullet. We should parse them into separate
- items. Similarly qualifications: list of items separated by semicolons or line breaks. We'll create
- for each.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from responsibilities and qualifications.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should omit the EEO statement, visa sponsorship details? Actually visa sponsorship info is substantive? It says "Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)". That's a requirement about work authorization. That's substantive and should be kept. It's under qualifications? It appears after qualifications but before benefits. We could include it in Qualifications section as a requirement. Or maybe separate? But we can include it as part of Qualifications list.
We also need to remove the duplicated lines: The posting repeats some content? Not seeing duplicates besides maybe the benefits description repeated? We'll just include once.
We need to preserve all substantive info: The intro paragraph about KPMG being a great place to work etc. That's "About the role" maybe. We'll put that in
under About the role heading? Actually the instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have heading About the role and then a paragraph.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. So we won't put "Associate Director, Cyber Operations (Countermeasure)" as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We need to output ONLY the HTML fragment.
Let's structure:

Qualifications:
We need to parse qualifications paragraph. It starts: "Qualifications: Minimum eight years of recent experience in security architecture, preferably with a specialization in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security (data loss prevention and SecOps) and the Wiz product suite (Code, Cloud, Defend,Exposure Management), and security tooling integration; deep technical expertise across multiple technical domains, including security incident response Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university is preferred; Minimum of a high school diploma or GED is required; certifications in certified information systems security professional (CISSP) and google professional cloud security engineer are preferred Experience leading and managing information technology (IT) security resources and/or projects with demonstrated ability to define, document, and peer review technical security standards; experience with security related regulatory requirements, such as National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ISO 27001, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) plans, project estimations and budgeting Capability to influence without authority in a matrixed environment and develop resource plans, project plans, project estimations and budgeting Ability to foster the development of high-performance teams and interface with all levels of the organization; ability to participate in development of resource plans and structures and influence organizational priorities Excellent verbal/written communication, collaboration, analytical and presentation skills to lead an environment driven by customer service and teamwork; must be able to set goals and participate in strategic initiatives for a team Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)"
We need to split into list items. Let's identify each bullet separated by semicolons or line breaks. We'll create items:
- Minimum eight years of recent experience in security architecture, preferably with a specialization in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security (data loss prevention and SecOps) and the Wiz product suite (Code, Cloud, Defend, Exposure Management), and security tooling integration;
- deep technical expertise across multiple technical domains, including security incident response;

We need to ensure we keep all details. Also note there is a phrase "plans, project estimations and budgeting" appears twice? Actually after NIST etc. It says "plans, project estimations and budgeting". Then later "Capability to influence without authority in a matrixed environment and develop resource plans, project plans, project estimations and budgeting". That's fine.
Now Benefits section:
We have benefits paragraph: "KPMG is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, with options designed to help you make the best decisions for yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. Available benefits are based on eligibility. Our Total Rewards package includes a variety of medical and dental plans, vision coverage, disability and life insurance, 401(k) plans, and a robust suite of personal well-being benefits to support your mental health. Depending on
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The responsibilities are a list but not formatted as bullet. We should parse them into separate
- items. Similarly qualifications: list of items separated by semicolons or line breaks. We'll create
- for each.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from responsibilities and qualifications.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should omit the EEO statement, visa sponsorship details? Actually visa sponsorship info is substantive? It says "Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future; KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)". That's a requirement about work authorization. That's substantive and should be kept. It's under qualifications? It appears after qualifications but before benefits. We could include it in Qualifications section as a requirement. Or maybe separate? But we can include it as part of Qualifications list.
We also need to remove the duplicated lines: The posting repeats some content? Not seeing duplicates besides maybe the benefits description repeated? We'll just include once.
We need to preserve all substantive info: The intro paragraph about KPMG being a great place to work etc. That's "About the role" maybe. We'll put that in
under About the role heading? Actually the instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have heading About the role and then a paragraph. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. So we won't put "Associate Director, Cyber Operations (Countermeasure)" as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
