Cyber - SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) Engineer - Manager - Consulting
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph after location? Could be "At EY, we’re all in..." and "The Opportunity". Could combine as About the role.
- Responsibilities: "Your Key Responsibilities" list.
- Requirements / Qualifications: "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have" list (qualifications). Also "Ideally, You'll Also Have" could be additional qualifications/preferred.
- Skills: "Skills And Attributes For Success" list.
- Benefits: "What We Offer You At EY..." includes benefits (medical, dental, pension, 401(k), paid time off). Also salary range is Pay.
- Pay: salary range details.
- Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section.
We must not include sections with placeholder or vague content. So include About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications (maybe split into Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications?), Benefits, Pay.
But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one? But they have distinct headings allowed: Qualifications, Skills. We could have both.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points exactly as given? Probably we can keep the text but not summarizing. We'll need to copy the bullet points.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So remove lines like "Are you ready to shape your future with confidence? Apply today." etc. Also remove "To make the most of your application experience..." etc. Also remove EEO statement at end. Also remove "EY | Building a better working world" etc. Also remove "EY provides equal employment opportunities..." etc. Also remove accommodation info. Also remove "Any misrepresentation..." etc.
We need to keep the salary range and benefits description.
Let's extract substantive content:
Location line: "Location: Anywhere in Country". Might be considered metadata; we could fold into a short
or drop it. Probably we can include as a short paragraph.
Then: "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."
Then: "The Opportunity In a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats while managing growing security operations workloads. Clients across industries look to us for innovative solutions that improve efficiency, enhance visibility, and strengthen cyber resilience through automation and orchestration. Join our dynamic team as a SOAR Engineering Manager, where you will lead the design, delivery, and optimization of security automation solutions that help organizations respond to threats faster and more effectively. You will combine technical leadership, client advisory, delivery management, and team development to guide complex SOAR initiatives. Working with security operations, incident response, threat detection, engineering, and business stakeholders, you will shape automation strategies, oversee platform implementations, and help clients realize measurable value from their cybersecurity investments."

- .
Then "Skills And Attributes For Success" list.
Then "To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have" list.
Then "Ideally, You'll Also Have" list.
Then "What We Look For" paragraph.

In addition, our Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, and a wide range of paid time off options."
We should keep that as Benefits and Pay sections.
We need to decide headings: About the role (maybe combine first two paragraphs), Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications (maybe combine Required and Preferred?), Benefits, Pay.
But we have separate lists for Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine under Qualifications with two sub-sections? But we only allowed headings from list; we could still have
Qualifications
and then within that have two maybe with a indicating required vs preferred. However we must not invent filler. Could just have one Qualifications section containing both lists, but we need to differentiate? Could put a
before each list: "Required qualifications:" and "Preferred qualifications:" as prose. That's acceptable.
Similarly Skills section.
Benefits: we have benefits description (medical, dental, pension, 401(k), paid time off). Could be a
list.
Pay: salary range details.
