Incident Response Manager (Armed)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The Metropolitan Museum Of Art" which is description of organization. Should we treat as "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes a description of the museum (About The Metropolitan Museum Of Art). That could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about the job, not the organization. But we have no explicit "About the role" paragraph; we have description of museum. Could treat that as "About the role"? Might be acceptable. However we also have "GENERAL STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILIES & DUTIES:" and "PRIMARY RESPONSIBILIES & DUTIES:" which are responsibilities. So we can have a Responsibilities section containing those duties. Requirements & Qualifications: we have a block "REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS:" with many bullet-like sentences. We'll need to split into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says we can have separate headings Requirements and Qualifications. We have content that mixes both; we could put all under Requirements (or Qualifications). Better to split: Requirements: experience, licenses, etc. Qualifications: education, certifications, etc. But we must not invent content. We can keep as one section maybe "Requirements & Qualifications". But headings list includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We could create two sections if we can delineate. Let's parse: REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS: - 15 years of prior experience in law enforcement or the fire department is required. - Proven experience in security management, law enforcement, military, or fire department operations, with at least 5 years in a supervisory or leadership role. - Knowledge of New York City Fire Safety codes and regulations, as well as National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Life Safety Codes. - Bachelors degree or higher preferred. - Relevant professional certifications or training in security, law enforcement, emergency management, or fire/life safety strongly preferred. - Proficiency in New York City Fire Safety codes and regulations, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Life Safety Codes - NYC Pistol Permit (Required) - NY Armed Guard License (Required) - Ability to perform and demonstrate self-control under difficult circumstances - Trained in de-escalation techniques - Good judgment, clear decision making, appropriate initiative and professional conduct - Prior Investigative Experience - Experience in the security loss prevention - Must be proficient in the use of Firearms - Must be willing and available for incident/emergency response duty and/or standby duty, which includes weekends, holidays, nights, and overnights, when necessary - Capable to work on your feet for extended periods - Customer service and public relations skills - Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, required - Committed, Reliable and Trustworthy - Must be willing to work on a shift schedule (including weekends, holidays and non-business hours) and have flexible availability. This includes the ability to work an extended schedule during crisis periods. Thus we can treat all as Requirements. Qualifications maybe not separate; we could omit Qualifications heading if no distinct content. But we have "Bachelors degree or higher preferred." and "Relevant professional certifications..." which could be qualifications. But we can still put under Requirements. Skills: maybe we can extract skills like "Customer service and public relations skills", "Excellent communication skills", "Good judgment", etc. But we might not need separate Skills section if we already covered. Benefits: there is a "Benefits Offerings" section with list. So we need Benefits heading. Pay: there is "COMPENSATION RANGE: Pay Range: $105,000.00 - $110,000.00 / Annually". So we need Pay section. Schedule: there is mention of shift schedule, weekends, etc. That's under Requirements but could be Schedule section. The posting mentions shift schedule, weekends, holidays, non-business hours, extended schedule during crisis periods. So we can create Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship, location requirements, etc. Remove those. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
