We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About the Opportunity". Use headings:

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes: About the Opportunity (we can map to About the role). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Required Qualifications (maybe Requirements or Qualifications). Preferred Qualifications (maybe Skills). No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections. Also we need to include location, duration, industry maybe as a short paragraph. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a

with location, duration, industry. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate like Korn Ferry description? The posting includes "About Korn Ferry" at end; that's boilerplate (company description). Should we remove? It's not part of the job posting specifics; it's generic. Likely remove. Also remove any duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Structure:

Location: Eden Prairie, MN (Onsite 5 Days per Week). Duration: 3-Month Engagement. Industry: Medical Device Manufacturing.

(or Qualifications). The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could map Required Qualifications to

Requirements

and Preferred Qualifications to

Skills

or

Qualifications

. But we need to avoid thin sections. We have both required and preferred; we could combine into Requirements and Skills. Let's do:

Requirements

for Required Qualifications.

Skills

for Preferred Qualifications. We must preserve all substantive information; we can list each bullet as
  • . We need to convert the paragraphs into list items where appropriate. For Responsibilities, there are subheadings like ERP Delivery Leadership (Immediate Priority) etc. We can keep those as part of list items or maybe as subheadings? But only allowed headings are

    for section headings; we could still include

    ?? Not specified. Safer to keep as list items, preserving the content. We need to ensure we don't invent or summarize away detail. Keep the exact phrasing? We can keep the sentences. Let's extract About the Opportunity paragraph: "A growing medical device company is seeking a highly experienced Interim IT Leader to provide immediate leadership and execution across technology, business systems, and organizational initiatives. This is a hands-on leadership role designed for an individual who thrives in small-company environments and can quickly assess, prioritize, and drive results.The most critical responsibility will be taking ownership of an ongoing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) ERP implementation, currently approximately 80% complete. The successful candidate will rapidly establish credibility with business leaders, the implementation partner, and the IT team to ensure a successful go-live and long-term adoption.This role requires an experienced IT executive who can balance strategy with execution, evaluate the current technology landscape, identify risks and opportunities, and provide actionable recommendations that support business growth and operational excellence." We'll put that in

    . Responsibilities: list each bullet under Key Responsibilities. We have sections: ERP Delivery Leadership (Immediate Priority) - Serve as the delivery lead for the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation. - Quickly gain command of project requirements, business processes, implementation milestones, risks, and dependencies. - Partner closely with the Systems Integrator (Velosio), business stakeholders, and internal project team to drive execution. - Facilitate issue resolution, decision-making, and stakeholder alignment. - Establish clear project governance, status reporting, accountability, and delivery metrics. - Support organizational readiness, training, adoption, and change management efforts. - Ensure the ERP implementation remains on track toward planned go-live objectives. IT Leadership & Team Management - Lead and develop a team consisting of a: Desktop Support Analyst Project Manager Data Analyst - Establish clear goals, priorities, and accountability measures. - Build trust through transparent communication and consistent delivery. - Serve as a strategic technology advisor to executive leadership. Technology & Application Assessment - Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the current IT environment, including infrastructure, applications, data, and security. - Review all licensed software and business applications. - Identify redundant systems, integration gaps, underutilized technology, and cost optimization opportunities. - Develop recommendations to streamline and modernize the application portfolio. Business Stakeholder Engagement - Meet with leaders across all business functions to understand operational challenges and technology needs. - Evaluate how technology is enabling or constraining business processes. - Translate business requirements into actionable technology recommendations. - Strengthen alignment between IT and business objectives. Infrastructure & Future-State Planning - Assess current infrastructure architecture, scalability, and performance. - Define a future-state technology roadmap aligned with company objectives. - Develop recommendations for modernization initiatives, investment priorities, and improvement opportunities. - Establish business cases, timelines, and ROI analyses for key technology investments. Governance, Security & Risk Management - Conduct vulnerability and risk assessments across systems, infrastructure, and applications. - Evaluate security posture and compliance readiness within a regulated medical device environment. - Partner with Arctic Wolf and other vendors as needed to identify and prioritize remediation efforts. - Deliver risk mitigation strategies and governance recommendations. Organizational Effectiveness - Identify process improvement opportunities across departments. - Improve workflows, reporting capabilities, and operational efficiency through technology. - Recommend enhancements that increase productivity and support future growth. IT Organizational Assessment - Evaluate team structure, responsibilities, skills, capacity, and development opportunities. - Assess current and future technology staffing needs. - Present recommendations to executive leadership regarding organizational design, talent gaps, and long-term IT capabilities. We need to preserve all; we can keep subheadings as part of list items? Could we keep them as inside

  • ? Probably okay. But to keep it simple, we can make each bullet a
  • and include the heading as part of the text. We'll produce a flat list. Required Qualifications list: - 10+ years of progressive IT leadership experience, including Director, VP, Head of IT, or equivalent leadership roles. - Prior experience leading IT for a small to mid-sized organization. - Medical device, healthcare technology, life sciences, or regulated industry experience strongly preferred. - Proven success delivering enterprise business system implementations, particularly ERP platforms. - Experience managing third-party implementation partners, vendors, and consulting organizations. - Strong background in infrastructure, applications, cybersecurity, governance, and business systems. - Demonstrated ability to quickly assess complex situations and deliver immediate business value. - Excellent executive communication, stakeholder management, and change leadership skills. - Ability to operate strategically while remaining highly hands-on. Preferred Qualifications list: - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation leadership experience. - Experience working with: Dynamics CRM, Power BI, SQL Server. - Experience supporting organizational transformation and change management initiatives. - Background conducting IT assessments, application rationalization exercises, and technology roadmap development. - Experience within manufacturing, medical device, or regulated environments. We should not include the Korn Ferry description. Now produce HTML. We need to ensure we don't include any extra text outside HTML. Let's craft:
