We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Only include sections where posting has real specific content. Need to parse the job description. We have a lot of text, but we need to extract sections. First, we need to decide headings: "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We must not repeat job title. Also we must not include Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can combine into sections. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to include only sections with real content. Let's extract: - About the role: The description summary: "Responsible for administering and maturing Sunward’s business continuity, disaster recovery (BCP/DR), and incident response planning programs, and for administering enterprise member complaint intake, investigation, and regulatory reporting, as dedicated disciplines within the enterprise risk function. Reporting to the Manager, Enterprise Risk, this role manages the day-to-day execution of resilience activities — business impact analysis, plan development and maintenance, testing and exercises, and incident response readiness — ensuring the credit union can anticipate, withstand, and recover from operational disruption. The role coordinates closely with IT and Information Security on disaster recovery and cyber-incident scenarios, and with Fraud, Compliance, and business unit leaders on continuity planning and incident response across the enterprise. It guides stakeholders on program requirements, ensures adherence to established procedures, documents results, and escalates gaps and concerns appropriately. Operating with limited-to-moderate autonomy within established policy, the Operational Risk & Resilience Specialist makes tactical program decisions, prepares readiness and testing reporting, and refers strategic or cross-departmental exceptions to the Manager, Enterprise Risk." We can put that as

under About the role. - Responsibilities: The "Essential Functions" section includes Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery, Incident Response Planning, Reporting, Coordination & Support, Member Complaints Intake and Resolution, Compliance and Escalation, Process Improvement. We can list as bullet points under Responsibilities. We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can condense into bullet points summarizing each essential function. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive information; but we can still use bullet points to list each function with its details. The instruction: "Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose." So we can create a list where each

  • contains the detailed description (maybe multiple sentences). That's okay. Thus Responsibilities: list each essential function with its details. - Requirements: The posting includes a section "Requirements Responsibilities & Duties What is the problem that this position solves? ..." That seems garbled. Actually after "Essential Functions" there is a weird block: "Requirements Responsibilities & Duties What is the problem that this position solves?What are the top 3 priorities for this role on a day-to-day basis? What goals, metrics, or key outcomes are associated with this position? What experience or qualifications are considered must-have versus nice-to-have?Business Continutiy and disaster recovery - must haveWhat level of ownership is expected in this role (execution vs. building/improving processes)?Actively building - may be coming in mid stream. There is always room for enhancement or improvement. They may b bringing something. Responsibility that the plan is up-to-date and scalable. There BC stays on par. It's unique to their. Where their specific meeting point is. They'll be responsible for annual testing of business continuity, and disaster recovery. Needs to be 2Recovery - RPO (recovery point objection - system) and RTO (Recovery Time objection - lights on)What systems or tools will this individual use regularly?Tandem, Microsof Office Suite - get them trained up. Using alert media. Alerts that happen. Might want to expand on services.Are there any systems/tools where prior experience is strongly preferred or required? Who will this individual interact with most frequently (members, cross-functional partners, leadership, vendors, etc.)?Member Complaints - As getting member complaints in, farming them out. To compliance, Tyler will have eyes on it if need to get legal involvedTracking to resolution (not sure if that's happening)Current state: Can't pull a report to see if done.Business Continuity and disaster recovery - Department headsWhat does success look like in:The first 60 days? The first 90 days? 6 months to 1 year? Having full ownership of BCP, DR and IR plans, annual disaster recovery is scheduled, member complaints with compliance and having a process in place for trackingWhat will training look like once they get started?Are there any incentives outside of CSP? NOIf yes, what are the earnings potential as well as the average bonus? Logistics & Hiring Process What are the schedule expectations for this role? Is this position on-site, or will it qualify for the flex work policy?What are the expectations and guidelines for your department as they align with the flex work policy?What would you like the interview process to look like?Recommended interview structure following TA screening: Role Level Recommended Interviews TA + Mary (in person) + David Garcia (live/virtual) + Tyler (call) Salary Description $64,275.20 - $80,344.00 annually (DOE)" This is a messy block likely from some internal template. We need to extract substantive info: It includes many questions but not answers. The only concrete info: Salary range: $64,275.20 - $80,344.00 annually (DOE). Also maybe schedule expectations? Not given. There's mention of "Logistics & Hiring Process" but no concrete answer. So we should only include sections where we have real specific content. Salary is specific. So we will have a Pay section with that salary range. We also have Qualifications section: includes Experience, Education, Knowledge, Skills/Abilities, Physical Requirements/Work Environment. We need to separate Qualifications vs Skills? The instruction says we can have Qualifications and Skills sections. We'll put Experience, Education, Knowledge under Qualifications. Skills/Abilities under Skills. Physical Requirements/Work Environment maybe could be part of Qualifications or separate? Not listed as a heading option; we could include under Qualifications or maybe under Skills? But we have only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Requirements could be part of Qualifications (maybe as a subsection). We'll include it under Qualifications as a paragraph. We also have Requirements section: The posting includes a "Requirements" heading? Actually there is a "Requirements" line before the garbled block. The block seems to be under "Requirements Responsibilities & Duties". Might be considered Requirements. But the content is mostly questions without answers, not substantive. So we should not create a Requirements section if no real specific content. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we skip Requirements. We have Benefits: Not mentioned. So skip Benefits. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's mention of schedule expectations in the garbled block but no answer. So skip Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Now we need to extract Qualifications content: From the posting: "Qualifications Experience Minimum of 2–4 years of experience in business continuity, disaster recovery, operational risk, IT risk, or a related resilience discipline within a financial institution or comparable regulated environment.Experience with complaints, compliance, or member/customer service within a bank or credit union, including investigation and root-cause work.Demonstrated experience developing or maintaining continuity plans and conducting tabletop or functional exercises preferred.

Knowledge Practical knowledge of business continuity and disaster recovery methodology, including BIA, RTO/RPO, plan development, and exercise design.Familiarity with incident response frameworks, severity classification, escalation, and post-incident review.Applied understanding of NCUA examination practices and regulatory expectations for operational resilience and continuity.Awareness of IT / Information Security concepts relevant to disaster recovery and cyber-incident coordination.Proficiency in MS Office and experience administering BCP / resilience software (e.g., Tandem).

We need to split into Qualifications (Experience, Education, Knowledge) and Skills (Skills/Abilities). Physical Requirements/Work Environment could be part of Qualifications (maybe as a subsection). We'll include it under Qualifications as a paragraph. Thus Qualifications: combine Experience, Education, Knowledge, Physical Requirements/Work Environment. Skills: Skills/Abilities. Now Responsibilities: list each essential function with details. Let's extract each essential function block: 1. Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery: - Conducts and maintains the Business Impact Analysis (BIA), identifying critical processes, dependencies, recovery time objectives (RTO), and recovery point objectives (RPO). - Develops, refreshes, and maintains business continuity plans across departments, aligned to the BIA and current operations. - Maintains disaster recovery plans in coordination with IT / Information Security, covering systems recovery, data backup, and alternate processing arrangements. - Designs and executes a BCP/DR testing schedule — tabletop exercises, functional tests, and simulations — documenting results and tracking identified gaps to closure with accountable owners. - Administers and maintains the business continuity software / program (e.g., Tandem), ensuring data accuracy and supporting stakeholder adoption. 2.
