Physical Security Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe "About The Role" heading), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Include only sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - About Cognizant Corporate: intro paragraph about company. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually there is "About Cognizant Corporate" then "About The Role". The instruction: use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have sections: About the role (maybe combine the intro and role description). Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe "What you must have to be considered". Qualifications: maybe "These will help you succeed" includes bachelor's degree, certification, etc. Skills: maybe list of skills like leadership, communication, digital skills, etc. Benefits: listed. Pay: salary range. Schedule: work model (remote). Also maybe "Work model" is schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Let's extract. First, "About Cognizant Corporate" paragraph: "Cognizant Corporate is a global community united by a shared purpose: to make a meaningful impact. We are committed to excellence and driven by outcomes that matter. Collaboration is at the heart of how we work, and our forward-thinking mindset fuels continuous learning, innovation, and growth. At Cognizant, careers transcend titles. We empower our people to think strategically, inspire others, and lead with purpose, always guided by our core values." That's generic company description; could be part of About the role. Then "About The Role": description of role responsibilities: leading physical security program across US and Canada, accountability, etc. Also mention being key member of CREWS, reporting to Senior Director, collaborating with many groups, autonomy. Then "In This Role, You Will" bullet list of duties (actually sentences). We'll need to convert to list items. Then "What you must have to be considered": list of requirements (minimum 10 years experience, etc.) Then "These will help you succeed": list of qualifications (bachelor's degree, certification, experience managing across US Canada Latin America, language proficiency, etc.) Then "Work model": remote position, flexibility, etc. Then "Salary And Other Compensation": salary range, discretionary annual incentive. Then "Benefits:" list. We need to exclude boilerplate like "Disclaimer: The salary, other compensation, and benefits information is accurate as of the date of this posting. Cognizant reserves the right to modify this information at any time, subject to applicable law." That's boilerplate; remove. Also remove "Applications will be accepted until October 28,2026." That's maybe not boilerplate but it's application instruction? It's a date; but instruction says remove application instructions. This is an application deadline; likely considered application instruction. Should we remove? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So yes remove the deadline line. Also remove "Don’t hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed. Think about your transferable experiences and unique skills that make you stand out as someone who can bring new and exciting things to this role." That's application instruction; remove. Now we need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role (combining company intro and role overview) - Responsibilities (list of duties from "In This Role, You Will") - Requirements (list from "What you must have to be considered") - Qualifications (list from "These will help you succeed") - Skills (maybe combine some skill items from requirements? But we already have requirements and qualifications; maybe we can put skills like leadership, communication, digital skills under Skills. However the posting includes those within requirements and qualifications. We could still create a Skills section extracting those: "Proven leadership, vendor management, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Strong digital skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Office, reporting tools, dashboards, security technology platforms, and incident or case management systems. Sound judgment, discretion, integrity, confidentiality, and the ability to make timely decisions in complex or sensitive situations. The ability to influence, build consensus, and communicate effectively with senior leaders, site leaders, vendors, clients, and public safety partners. A strong sense of ownership, a desire to create meaningful outcomes, and a passion for work that serves customers, communities, or global challenges." That's a lot; could be Skills. But we must not duplicate content; we need to preserve all substantive info. If we put them in Skills, we should not also list them elsewhere. However the requirements and qualifications sections also contain some of these (like leadership etc). We need to decide where to place each piece. Better approach: Follow the headings given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content to these headings without duplication. Let's extract each piece: About the role: Could include the company description and the high-level role description (the paragraph after "About The Role" before "In This Role, You Will"). Responsibilities: The bullet list under "In This Role, You Will". That's a series of sentences each starting with a verb. We'll make each a list item. Requirements: The list under "What you must have to be considered". That's a list of items each starting with a description. We'll make each a list item. Qualifications: The list under "These will help you succeed". That's also a list of items (bachelor's degree, certification, experience managing across US Canada Latin America, language proficiency, interest in evaluating new tech). We'll make each a list item. Skills: Could extract the skill-related items from the requirements and qualifications that are not already captured? But we risk duplication. However the instructions say "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we omit some skill details because we placed them elsewhere, we still preserve them if they are in Requirements or Qualifications. So we might not need a separate Skills section if all skill info is already captured under Requirements or Qualifications. But the instruction says to include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. If we have content for Skills, we should include it. But we could also decide that the posting does not have a distinct "Skills" section separate from Requirements/Qualifications; the skill items are embedded there. However the instruction gave Skills as an example heading; we can include if we have content. We could extract skill-specific sentences like "Proven leadership, vendor management, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills." etc. Those are not captured elsewhere as they are not explicit requirements or qualifications? Actually they are under "What you must have to be considered"? Let's check: The "What you must have to be considered" list includes: - A minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in corporate security, physical security, law enforcement, military, government, investigations, risk management, or a related field. - Demonstrated experience managing physical security programs across multiple countries, cultures, regulatory environments, and facility types. - Strong knowledge of physical security controls and technologies, including access control, CCTV and video surveillance, intrusion detection, visitor management, guard force operations, badging, and control room or SOACC coordination. - Expertise in physical security risk assessments, vulnerability analysis, control testing, mitigation planning, documentation, and reporting. - Working knowledge of governance, risk, and compliance practices, including audit evidence management, control ownership, policy compliance, remediation tracking, and executive reporting. - Experience supporting internal audits, client audits, regulatory reviews, investigations, and corrective action plans. - Proven leadership, vendor management, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. - Strong digital skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Office, reporting tools, dashboards, security technology platforms, and incident or case management systems. - Sound judgment, discretion, integrity, confidentiality, and the ability to make timely decisions in complex or sensitive situations. - The ability to influence, build consensus, and communicate effectively with senior leaders, site leaders, vendors, clients, and public safety partners. - A strong sense of ownership, a desire to create meaningful outcomes, and a passion for work that serves customers, communities, or global challenges. - The embodiment of Cognizant’s Values: Work as One, Dare to Innovate, Raise the Bar, Do the Right Thing, and Own It. Thus many skill items are in Requirements. So we could treat Requirements as containing both experience and skills. Then Qualifications separate. Thus we may not need a separate Skills section; we could omit it if we consider that the posting does not have a distinct Skills section beyond what's already in Requirements. However the instruction says to include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. If we treat Skills as empty, we should not include it. So we will not include Skills. Now Benefits: list under "Benefits:". Pay: salary range under "Salary And Other Compensation". Also mention discretionary annual incentive; we can include that in Pay section. Schedule: work model description under "Work model". That's schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Disclaimer:" etc. Now produce HTML. Structure:

  About the role

  Company description paragraph + role overview paragraph.

  We need to combine company description and role overview into one paragraph? Could be two paragraphs but still within same section. Use

  for prose; we can have multiple

  tags. Thus:
