We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
First part: "Location: Anywhere in Country 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." This is generic intro; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading expects description of role. The posting includes "The Opportunity" paragraph describing role. So we can put that under About the role.
Then "Your Key Responsibilities" list -> Responsibilities section with
- .
Then "Skills And Attributes For Success" -> Skills section (list). Could also be Qualifications? There's "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have" -> Requirements/Qualifications. Also "Ideally, You'll Also Have" -> maybe additional qualifications.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for About the role (The Opportunity paragraph). Responsibilities (Your Key Responsibilities). Requirements (To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have). Qualifications maybe overlapping; but we could treat "To Qualify for the Role" as Requirements, and "Ideally, You'll Also Have" as Qualifications (preferred). Skills (Skills And Attributes For Success). Benefits (What We Offer You includes benefits description). Pay (salary range details). Schedule? Not mentioned; no schedule info, so omit Schedule.
We must not include sections with placeholder or vague like "commensurate with experience". Pay details are specific ranges per location; we can include Pay section with that info.
Benefits: "What We Offer You At EY, we harness our collective strength to empower you to shape your future with confidence through professional growth, personal fulfillment and an inclusive culture. Learn more at ey.com/us/careers. The salary range for this job is: ..." Actually benefits includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, wide range of paid time off options. So we can extract that.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the salary ranges exactly as given. Also include the bullet points of responsibilities, skills, qualifications, etc.
We must not repeat job title. No headings for Job ID etc.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.

About the role
The Opportunity As organizations undertake large-scale digital transformation, cloud migration, and technology modernization initiatives, the need for robust, scalable security architecture has never been greater. Security architecture decisions made today define an organization's risk posture for years to come—shaping how data is protected, how systems are connected, and how threats are detected and contained. As a Senior Consultant within EY's Cyber practice focused on Enterprise Security Architecture, you will work with clients to assess existing security architectures, design future-state security frameworks, and develop practical roadmaps that align security capabilities with enterprise strategy.
