We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting has "Position Summary", "The Role", "The Candidate Minimum Requirements", "Preferred Skills & Background", "Why You Should Join Catalent". Also location info maybe part of summary. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID. We need to include only sections with real content. Use

for each heading. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation notice, security notice, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to include location and schedule? The posting says "Location: Durham, NC OR Bridgewater, NJ 4 days per week Onsite". That's location and schedule. Should we include a section? There's no explicit heading for location/schedule, but we can embed in a paragraph under Position Summary or maybe a separate section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. There's no explicit heading for location or schedule, but we could include them as part of Position Summary paragraph. Probably better to keep them within the Position Summary paragraph. We need to avoid creating Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are listed under "Why You Should Join Catalent": includes benefits like PTO, holidays, medical, dental, vision, tuition reimbursement. So we could have a Benefits section? But the posting does not have a dedicated Benefits heading; it's under Why You Should Join Catalent. We could still create a Benefits section if we extract those bullet points. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to keep Why You Should Join Catalent as a section with benefits listed. Thus sections: Position Summary (maybe as About the role?), The Role, Minimum Requirements, Preferred Skills & Background, Why You Should Join Catalent. We need to use

    for section headings. Use appropriate heading text: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". But we should map to actual content. The instruction says: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can use those headings if appropriate. But we must not create sections without real content. So we can use headings that match content: "About the role" for Position Summary, "Responsibilities" for The Role, "Requirements" for Minimum Requirements, "Skills" for Preferred Skills & Background, "Benefits" for Why You Should Join Catalent (since includes benefits). We should not add Pay or Schedule sections because not explicitly stated. Thus output:

    About the role

    Position Summary ... location ...

    But we need to include location and schedule inside that paragraph. Let's extract Position Summary text: "Position Summary We have an opportunity for a Director, Identity & Network Security to join our team. This role leads enterprise identity, privileged access, network security, and segmentation programs. It is accountable for control ownership, reliable operations, risk reduction, audit readiness, and delivery of a multi-year security roadmap across corporate, cloud, manufacturing, and operational technology environments. This is a leadership position requiring strong judgment, accountability, and the ability to guide teams and vendors toward measurable outcomes. Location: Durham, NC OR Bridgewater, NJ 4 days per week Onsite" We'll keep that as a paragraph. Next The Role: list of responsibilities (many sentences). We'll convert to
    • items. We need to split each sentence starting with a verb. Let's extract bullet points: - Own and execute the multi-year roadmap for Identity and Access Management, privileged access, network security, segmentation, and Zero Trust aligned with enterprise priorities. - Serve as senior escalation point and decision authority for identity and network security matters, including exceptions and unresolved control risk. - Build, coach, and retain a high-performing team with clear accountability and measurable performance expectations. - Manage budgets, vendor performance, managed-service outcomes, contracts, and technology investment recommendations. - Direct the identity lifecycle across workforce, privileged, service, third-party, and machine identities, including provisioning, authentication, and access reviews. - Establish governance for Active Directory and Entra ID, including privileged role activation and emergency access. - Advance privileged access management, secrets management, least privilege, and removal of standing administrative access. - Own firewall strategy, security architecture, policy governance, and rule lifecycle management. - Oversee perimeter, internal, cloud, remote-access, and third-party connectivity controls for reliability and policy optimization. - Lead deployment and operation of segmentation and Zero Trust controls across critical environments. - Define and maintain identity and network security policies, standards, and control objectives. - Support audits, regulatory reviews, risk assessments, and issue remediation with sustainable corrective actions. - Apply approved AI and automation to improve efficiency while maintaining human validation and oversight. - Approve domain standards, operating procedures, and technology roadmaps within delegated authority. We'll put each as
    • . Next Minimum Requirements: list of requirements. Extract: - 10+ years of progressive cybersecurity experience, including 5+ years leading identity and/or network security functions and 3+ years managing teams. - Depth in at least two areas: identity governance, privileged access management, directory services, firewall and network security, segmentation, or Zero Trust. - Experience operating enterprise identity, privileged access, firewall, policy-management, and segmentation capabilities in a complex global environment. - Working knowledge of security and control frameworks such as NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, and Zero Trust principles, plus regulated-control expectations relevant to life sciences. - Ability to translate technical risk into business impact, executive decisions, measurable outcomes, and funded roadmaps. - Experience governing automation or AI-assisted operational processes, including validation, access control, auditability, and human oversight. - Excellent written, verbal, and executive communication skills. - Demonstrable leadership experience at Catalent (including but not limited to participation in Catalent‑sponsored leadership programs such as NGGL, GOLD, LEAD Now, GM Excellence, and GROW) may be considered in place of external experience. We'll put as
      • . Next Preferred Skills & Background: list.

We'll put as
        • . Next Why You Should Join Catalent: paragraph with benefits. Extract: "Defined career path with annual performance reviews and feedback. Diverse and inclusive culture that values growth and collaboration. Potential for career growth within an organization dedicated to improving lives. Competitive paid time off plus 8 paid holidays. Community engagement and green initiatives. Medical, dental, and vision benefits effective from day one of employment. Tuition reimbursement to support continued learning.

          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we could make a list for benefits. But the section "Why You Should Join Catalent" includes both narrative and benefits. Could split into

            for narrative and

            • for benefits. However we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract benefits items: - Defined career path with annual performance reviews and feedback. - Diverse and inclusive culture that values growth and collaboration. - Potential for career growth within an organization dedicated to improving lives. - Competitive paid time off plus 8 paid holidays. - Community engagement and green initiatives. - Medical, dental, and vision benefits effective from day one of employment. - Tuition reimbursement to support continued learning. The rest is more marketing narrative. We could keep a paragraph for the narrative and a list for benefits. Thus section heading "Benefits" maybe? But we already have "Why You Should Join Catalent". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could use Benefits heading for the benefits list, and maybe keep a short paragraph under Why You Should Join Catalent? But we should not create thin sections. Perhaps better to have a Benefits section with the list, and omit the Why You Should Join Catalent heading. However we would lose some narrative about career path etc. But those are benefits anyway. The narrative about "Join the global drug development..." could be considered a paragraph under Benefits or maybe under a generic "About the company". But we don't have a heading for that. Could include a paragraph under Benefits heading as well? The instruction: Use

              for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid having a paragraph under a heading besides a list. So we can have

              Benefits

              then a

              with the narrative, then

              • for the specific benefits. Thus we will not have a separate "Why You Should Join Catalent" heading. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We are not. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:
