Product Security Leader (Remote)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
We have job overview, business unit description, role description, job requirements (list of many items), what your background should look like (education, experience, technical expertise, frameworks knowledge, standards knowledge, leadership & soft skills), compensation (base salary range), benefits (list). Also maybe "About Te Connectivity" but that's generic company description; could be part of "About the role"? Actually "About the role" likely corresponds to job overview and role description. We'll include that.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, fraud notice, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to extract sections:
- About the role: combine Job Overview, Business Unit Description, Role Description (maybe summarise but not invent). We'll put paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: The job requirements list includes many responsibilities (Product Security Strategy & Governance, Secure Product Development Lifecycle, Threat Modeling & Risk Assessment, Vulnerability Management & Testing, Supply Chain & Component Security, Product Architecture & System Security, Incident Response & Monitoring, Compliance & Certification, Training & Culture). Those are responsibilities. So we can put them under Responsibilities as a list.
- Requirements: maybe "What Your Background Should Look Like" includes education, experience, etc. That's qualifications. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll decide: Use Requirements for mandatory items (education, years experience). Qualifications for preferred? But we have only one section maybe. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include multiple as appropriate.
We have: Education (Bachelor’s or Master’s degree...), Experience (10+ years...), Preferred experience (high-speed electronics...), Proven experience implementing secure development lifecycle practices. That's like Requirements.
Then Technical Expertise (list), Frameworks Knowledge, Standards Knowledge, Leadership & Soft Skills. Those could be Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat Technical Expertise, Frameworks Knowledge, Standards Knowledge as Skills. Leadership & Soft Skills maybe also Skills.
We'll create sections:
- About the role (overview)
- Responsibilities (list of duty areas)
- Requirements (education, years experience, preferred experience)
- Skills (technical expertise, frameworks knowledge, standards knowledge, leadership & soft skills)
- Benefits (list)
- Pay (salary range)
Schedule not present, so omit.
We must not include headings with filler. Ensure we don't include "commensurate with experience" as filler? Actually pay section includes that phrase; we need to include the salary range but we can include the phrase as part of the content. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we can have Pay section with the actual range; the phrase "competitive base salary commensurate with experience: $175,000 – $260,000 (subject to change dependent on physical location)" includes "commensurate with experience". That's not filler; it's part of the sentence. It's okay.
We must not include duplicated lines. We'll need to extract unique items.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll start with About the role
then
containing overview: combine job overview, business unit description, role description. Job Overview: "At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. TE Connectivity Ltd. is a $16 billion global technology and manufacturing leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future.

We'll combine into a paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Use
for prose. Next Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then- each responsibility heading and its details? The job requirements list includes headings with bullet points under each. We could flatten each bullet as a list item, but we need to preserve detail. Could do
- Product Security Strategy & Governance: ... etc. That preserves detail. We'll extract each section's content. From job requirements: Product Security Strategy & Governance: - Develop and lead the business unit’s product cybersecurity strategy aligned with business objectives and customer requirements. - Establish cybersecurity policies, standards, and secure design principles for hardware, firmware, and embedded software. - Define security architecture requirements for high-speed connectivity products (e.g., cables, connectors, active interconnects, modules). - Ensure alignment with industry standards (e.g., secure development lifecycle, zero trust principles).

We'll create list items for each heading with its subpoints maybe as nested
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. We'll do top-level
- with each responsibility as
- containing a heading and then a
- for subpoints.

Pay
Competitive base salary commensurate with experience: $175,000 – $260,000 (subject to change dependent on physical location)
We should not include the sentence about "Posted salary ranges are made in good faith..." etc as that's boilerplate? It's part of compensation but maybe considered boilerplate? It's not a list; it's a statement about ranges. Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? It's about the range.
