We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Role Summary/Purpose" and "Essential Responsibilities", "Qualifications/Requirements", "Desired Characteristics", "Grade/Level: 13", salary range, "Our Way Of Working", "Eligibility Requirements", "Our Commitment", "Reasonable Accommodation Notice", "Job Family Group Information Technology". We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Our Way Of Working"? Might be considered benefits? It's about flexibility, remote/hub. Could be considered Benefits? Not exactly. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We need sections: About the role (maybe from Role Summary/Purpose), Responsibilities (Essential Responsibilities), Requirements (Qualifications/Requirements), Skills (Desired Characteristics?), Benefits (maybe Our Way Of Working?), Pay (salary range), Schedule (maybe not present). Also we could include "Grade/Level" maybe as metadata in a paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the content from each relevant part. Let's extract: Role Summary/Purpose paragraph: "The PAM Product Owner leads the strategic evolution and enhancement of the enterprise Privileged Access Management (PAM) program, with a primary focus on risk-based remediation of high-risk privileged accounts and reduction of privileged attack surface. This role owns the product roadmap and drives rollout, adoption, and continuous improvement of the Delinea suite of products to deliver secure credential lifecycle management, privileged session management/recording, and integrations with enterprise platforms (e.g., ITSM, SIEM/SOAR). The Product Owner ensures the PAM program aligns to Zero Trust principles, enables Just-in-Time (JIT) privileged access where appropriate, strengthens audit readiness, and builds strong partner relationships across technology, security, and business stakeholders." Essential Responsibilities: list of bullet points (each starts with a verb). We'll put them in
  • . Qualifications/Requirements: list: "High School Diploma or equivalent.", "10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with depth in Identity & Access Management (IAM) and security controls, including one or more of: Privileged Access Management (PAM), SSO, MFA, CIAM, RBAC, and/or directory governance.", "Demonstrated success delivering high-value, cross-functional technology/security initiatives across multiple workstreams and stakeholder groups.", "Proven ability to cultivate durable partnerships with internal and external business and technology stakeholders; collaborative, outcomes-driven operating style.", "Demonstrated leadership through mentoring, coaching, and enablement, including creating product roadmaps, supporting skill development, and driving team maturity.", "Strong requirements and delivery execution skills: elicitation, documentation, and translation into implementable delivery artifacts (user stories, workflows, process maps); experience supporting Agile/Scrum execution (backlog/standups/removing blockers).", "Hands-on experience with ITSM platforms in an operational/delivery context (e.g., catalog, incident/problem/change workflows, dashboards/reporting), including building standardized documentation to support audit readiness and adoption.", "Ability and flexibility to travel for business as required" Desired Characteristics: list: "Experience implementing and operating Delinea PAM solutions, including Secret Server and complementary capabilities used for privileged credential management and privileged session governance.", "Advanced expertise in PAM best practices, including risk-based security controls, credential lifecycle management, privileged session monitoring/recording, privileged identity governance, and audit-ready control evidence.", "Experience designing/implementing Zero Trust and JIT privileged access models, including approval workflows, time-bound elevation, and policy-based enforcement.", "Knowledge of automated discovery tooling, behavioral analytics, privileged anomaly detection, and common compliance/audit frameworks.", "Experience designing and implementing dual-control policies/workflows tied to incident and change processes.", "Strong communication skills, including reporting program metrics and influencing senior stakeholders across Security Operations, Audit, and IAM governance bodies." Grade/Level: 13 (maybe include in a paragraph under a heading like "Details"? Not required but we can include as a short p. Salary range: "The salary range for this position is 155,000.00 - 260,000.00 USD Annual and is eligible for an annual bonus based on individual and company performance. Actual compensation offered within the posted salary range will be based upon work experience, skill level or knowledge. Salaries are adjusted according to market in CA, NY Metro and Seattle." Our Way Of Working: "We’re proud to offer you flexibility. At Synchrony, our way of working allows you to have the option to work from home near one of our Hubs or come into one of our offices. You will be required to commute to your nearest Hub (either virtual or physical) for in-person engagement activities such as regular business or team meetings, training and culture events. Field Sales and some Commercial team roles may have varied location requirements based upon partner obligations or preferences." Eligibility Requirements: list of bullet points: "You must be 18 years or older", "You must have a high school diploma or equivalent", "You must be willing to take a drug test, submit to a background investigation and submit fingerprints as part of the onboarding process", "You must be able to satisfy the requirements of Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.", "New hires (Level 4-7) must have 9 months of continuous service with the company before they are eligible to post on other roles. Once this new hire time in position requirement is met, the associate will have a minimum 6 months’ time in position before they can post for future non-exempt roles. Employees, level 8 or greater, must have at least 18 months’ time in position before they can post. All internal employees must consistently meet performance expectations and have approval from your manager to post (or the approval of your manager and HR if you don’t meet the time in position or performance expectations).", "Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening." Our Commitment: paragraphs about inclusive culture, ERGs, etc. Might be considered boilerplate? It's EEO statement but also culture. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. This seems like EEO statement. So we should remove "Our Commitment" and "More than 50%..." etc. Also "Reasonable Accommodation Notice" is also EEO-related; remove. "Job Family Group Information Technology" maybe minor metadata; could be included in a short p. We need to decide which sections to keep: About the role (Role Summary/Purpose), Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications/Requirements), Skills (Desired Characteristics), Benefits (Our Way Of Working maybe), Pay (salary range). Possibly also include "Grade/Level" and "Job Family Group" as a short p under a generic "Details" but not required. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Grade/Level and Job Family into a paragraph under "Details" heading? But we should only create headings when there is real specific content. Could create a heading "Details" and put grade/level and job family. However that might be considered thin. Maybe we can embed grade/level and job family in a paragraph under "About the role" or "Requirements"? Better to keep as a short p after the sections without a heading? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment, no extra text. We can include a

    for metadata without heading. That's allowed. Thus final HTML:
