Cyber - Enterprise Security Architect - Senior Manager - Consulting
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real specific content. No placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - Location: Anywhere in Country (maybe not needed as heading; we can include in a short
maybe as metadata). The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So location can be a short paragraph. - Intro paragraph: "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 about the company; could be part of About the role? Usually "About the role" is a section describing the role. We can treat the first paragraph as About the role. - "The Opportunity" paragraph: describes the role context. Could be part of About the role as well. - "Your Key Responsibilities" heading: we can map to Responsibilities section. - "Skills And Attributes For Success": map to Skills section. - "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have": map to Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: we have both Requirements and Qualifications possible headings. We need to decide which to use. Usually "Requirements" for mandatory qualifications, "Qualifications" for preferred. The posting has "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have" (mandatory) and then "Ideally, You'll Also Have" (preferred). So we can put mandatory under Requirements, and preferred under Qualifications (or Skills?). But we also have Skills section already for Skills And Attributes For Success. So we need to split: Requirements (mandatory), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (attributes). However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we have distinct content; we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they said use headings for those categories if content exists. We have both mandatory and preferred; we could have Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred). That's two sections. Skills section separate. - "What We Look For": could be part of About the role or maybe a summary; but it's somewhat redundant with Skills. Might be considered as part of About the role or maybe we can omit as it's similar to Skills. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can incorporate into About the role or Skills. Since it's basically a summary of what they seek, we could merge into About the role. - "What We Offer You": includes description of benefits and salary range. So we need Benefits and Pay sections. The posting includes salary ranges and total rewards: medical/dental, pension/401k, paid time off. So we can create Benefits section with those details. Pay section with salary ranges. - "Are you ready to shape your future with confidence? Apply today." etc is application instruction and boilerplate; remove. - Also there is a lot of boilerplate about equal opportunity, accommodation, etc; remove. - Also there is a paragraph about EY building a better working world etc; that's boilerplate; remove. Thus final HTML: maybe:
Location: Anywhere in Country
