Associate Director, Cyber Operations (Countermeasures)
maybe under "About the role". Then Responsibilities: list of duties. Then Qualifications: list. Then Benefits: they mention comprehensive benefits package, details: medical/dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being, PTO, holidays, breaks. Also Pay: they gave California Salary Range: $153000 - $297000. Also mention "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." So we can include Pay section with that range. Also Schedule? Not explicitly given, but they mention standard work hours, years of service, PTO per fiscal year, calendar of holidays, two breaks each year. That's schedule info. Could include Schedule section with that. However we should only include sections when posting has real, specific content. They have specifics about PTO, holidays, breaks. So we can include Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, visa sponsorship statements, legal, etc. Also remove "No phone calls or agencies please." etc. Also remove "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer." etc. Also remove "Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S...." maybe that's not boilerplate? It's a requirement but could be considered part of Qualifications? It's a requirement about work authorization. Could include under Qualifications as a bullet? But it's a statement. Might keep as prose under Qualifications. However the instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The work authorization statement is not exactly EEO but it's a requirement. Might keep as part of Qualifications.
We also need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the responsibilities list exactly as given (but we can split into bullet points). The responsibilities paragraph is a long run-on sentence with semicolons. We need to break into list items. We'll parse each clause separated by semicolons.
Responsibilities text:
"Build and lead anenterprise cybersecurity countermeasures program across the full technologylifecycle; Define the strategy, scope, priorities, funding needs, governance,and measures required to prevent, detect, contain, and reduce exploitableweaknesses across applications, cloud services, infrastructure, endpoints, anddata environmentsOperationalize acountermeasures and multi-cloud security program through repeatable processes,integrated workflows, clear ownership, service-level objectives, risk-basedprioritization, exception management, validation standards, and executivereporting; Maintain reliable coverage, data quality, access governance,lifecycle management, and control-effectiveness monitoringDirect preventive countermeasures throughoutdevelopment and deployment to mitigate attack path and control gap risks, andconvert technical exposure into a solution to buy time to remediate riskEstablish andmaintain interim controls that reduce exploitability and limit business impactwhile infrastructure and application teams correct underlying weaknesses; Define expiration dates, monitoring requirements, escalation paths, andevidence needed to confirm that temporary controls remain effectiveOversee theintegration of GCP and Workbench security tooling integration, automations, andprocesses while keeping current with the latest cybersecurity practices andtechnologiesDevelop operating plans and governance models thatsupport multi-cloud and federated remediation; Define accountability, decisionrights, compensating-control requirements, risk-acceptance criteria, escalationthresholds, and executive metrics that hold distributed teams accountable forsustained exposure reductionAct with integrity, professionalism, and personal responsibility to uphold KPMG's respectful and courteous work environment"
We need to split at semicolons. Let's identify each:
1. Build and lead anenterprise cybersecurity countermeasures program across the full technologylifecycle
2. Define the strategy, scope, priorities, funding needs, governance,and measures required to prevent, detect, contain, and reduce exploitableweaknesses across applications, cloud services, infrastructure, endpoints, anddata environments
3. Operationalize acountermeasures and multi-cloud security program through repeatable processes,integrated workflows, clear ownership, service-level objectives, risk-basedprioritization, exception management, validation standards, and executivereporting
4. Maintain reliable coverage, data quality, access governance,lifecycle management, and control-effectiveness monitoring
5. Direct preventive countermeasures throughoutdevelopment and deployment to mitigate attack path and control gap risks, andconvert technical exposure into a solution to buy time to remediate risk
6. Establish andmaintain interim controls that reduce exploitability and limit business impactwhile infrastructure and application teams correct underlying weaknesses
7. Define expiration dates, monitoring requirements, escalation paths, andevidence needed to confirm that temporary controls remain effective
8. Oversee theintegration of GCP and Workbench security tooling integration, automations, andprocesses while keeping current with the latest cybersecurity practices andtechnologies
9. Develop operating plans and governance models thatsupport multi-cloud and federated remediation
10. Define accountability, decisionrights, compensating-control requirements, risk-acceptance criteria, escalationthresholds, and executive metrics that hold distributed teams accountable forsustained exposure reduction
11. Act with integrity, professionalism, and personal responsibility to uphold KPMG's respectful and courteous work environment
We need to fix spacing: some words concatenated like "anenterprise". Should we keep as is? Probably we should keep original text but maybe add a space for readability? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Changing spacing could be considered altering text. However the original had missing space due to formatting. We could keep as is but it's ugly. Might be acceptable to add a space? That's inventing? It's minor correction. Probably better to keep as is but we could add a space to make it readable without changing meaning. I'd keep as is but maybe add a space where obviously missing: "an enterprise". I think it's okay to fix obvious typos as not inventing. But safer to keep exactly as given? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Adding a space is not inventing substantive info, just formatting. I'd add a space for readability.
Similarly "Define the strategy, scope, priorities, funding needs, governance,and measures" missing space after governance,. We'll add.
We'll produce list items.
Qualifications: paragraph:
"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 technicalexpertise across multiple technical domains, including security incidentresponseBachelor'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 preferredExperience 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 budgetingCapability 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 prioritiesExcellent 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 teamApplicants 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 bullet points. Also we need to remove the visa sponsorship boilerplate? That's part of qualifications but maybe considered boilerplate? It's a specific requirement about work authorization. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not EEO; it's about visa sponsorship. Might keep as a qualification bullet.
We'll parse by semicolons again.
