Job Description

We need to output clean semantic HTML according to rules. Input already has HTML tags but we need to reformat using only

,

,
  • . Must preserve all original content word-for-word, no adding/removing. We need to convert the given HTML into the required format. We have content with

    tags containing headings and
    . We need to transform each heading into

    and the following text into

    or list. We must preserve all text exactly, including spaces, punctuation, entities like &. Also need to keep   maybe as is? It's a non-breaking space entity; we should keep it. We must not use

    ,
    , CSS classes, inline styles. So we need to replace
    with appropriate block separation: either new

    or

  • . The original uses
    to separate heading from content within same

    . We'll need to split. We must not add or remove content. So we need to output same textual content, just wrapped in appropriate tags. Let's extract the sections: First

    : Mission/ Core purpose of the Job
    The Senior Specialist: O365 is responsible for the management, support, and optimisation of MTN’s Office 365 environment. This role ensures the availability, security, and performance of O365 services and applications across the organisation. The Senior Specialist leads initiatives for platform updates, configuration, and integration with other enterprise technologies, providing expert guidance and resolving complex issues. This position supports digital workplace transformation by enabling seamless collaboration and communication through O365 tools and services. So heading: "Mission/ Core purpose of the Job". Then paragraph text. Second

    : Education
    Minimum of 3 year degree/diploma in Information Technology, Computer Science, or related discipline. Third

    : Experience
    Minimum of 5 years’ experience in managing and supporting Office 365 or equivalent cloud collaboration platforms.
    Proven expertise in Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Microsoft Security & Compliance solutions.
    Experience resolving complex platform issues and working with Microsoft support escalation processes.
    Familiarity with ITIL processes, particularly Incident and Problem Management. So heading Experience, then multiple lines each separated by
    . Those lines are bullet points? They are separate sentences. According to rules, we should use

    • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). Experience is a list of items; we can treat each line as
    • . The original text includes line breaks; we must preserve content word-for-word. So we need to output each line as
    • exactly as appears (including the leading text). Must not add or remove any characters. Similarly Skills section. Then there are multiple sections with headings like "Key Activities & Responsibilities", then subheadings like "O365 Service Management and Administration" etc. Those subheadings are also tags; we need to decide if they become

      as well? The instruction: Use

      for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It seems only top-level sections get

      . Subheadings maybe should be

      with ? But we cannot use because we must only use

      ,

      ,
      • . No other tags allowed. So we cannot keep . We must represent the content using only allowed tags. However we must preserve all original content word-for-word. If we drop tags, we are removing content (the tags). But the rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That likely refers to the textual content, not the markup. We are allowed to change markup as long as we keep the text. The original content includes the text inside . We must keep that text. The tags themselves are not content; they are markup. So we can drop them as long as we keep the text. That seems acceptable. Thus we will convert each heading to

        with the heading text. For subheadings inside sections, we could also treat them as

        ? But they are not listed as examples; but we could still use

        for any heading. However using multiple

        may be okay. The rule says use

        for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It doesn't forbid using

        for other headings, but we should follow semantics: maybe use

        for normal paragraphs and

        for headings. Subheadings could be

        as well. That seems fine. But we must not add extra tags like
        . We'll just output a sequence of

        and

        and

        • . We need to handle ampersand entities: & should stay as &. Also   should stay. Now let's parse each section. I'll rewrite the content in plain text with headings. Original text (with HTML stripped) for reference: Mission/ Core purpose of the Job The Senior Specialist: O365 is responsible for the management, support, and optimisation of MTN’s Office 365 environment. This role ensures the availability, security, and performance of O365 services and applications across the organisation. The Senior Specialist leads initiatives for platform updates, configuration, and integration with other enterprise technologies, providing expert guidance and resolving complex issues.

Proven expertise in Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Microsoft Security & Compliance solutions. Experience resolving complex platform issues and working with Microsoft support escalation processes. Familiarity with ITIL processes, particularly Incident and Problem Management. Skills Strong technical troubleshooting and analytical skills. Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities. Experience with platform automation, scripting, and administration tools for O365 (PowerShell, Graph API). Strong customer service orientation and training capability. Key Activities & Responsibilities O365 Service Management and Administration Manage the end-to-end administration of the Office 365 suite including Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and security & compliance components. Monitor service health and performance metrics, identifying and resolving service issues proactively to ensure optimal availability and reliability. Plan and execute platform upgrades, patches, and configuration changes while minimising user impact and downtime. Maintain detailed documentation of configurations, changes, processes, and procedures related to the O365 environment. Incident, Problem and Change Management Lead the diagnosis and resolution of complex technical incidents impacting O365 services, engaging internal and vendor resources as appropriate. Identify recurring issues and collaborate with Problem Management teams to drive root cause analysis and implement long-term fixes. Coordinate change management processes for O365-related updates and enhancements following ITIL best practices, ensuring communication and risk mitigation. Security, Compliance, and Governance Implement and enforce security policies within O365 including identity and access management, conditional access, data loss prevention, and threat protection measures. Ensure O365 platform compliance with corporate policies and regulatory requirements, conducting regular audits and remediations. Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to identify vulnerabilities and implement security improvements or incident responses. Manage data governance frameworks to ensure appropriate data handling, retention, and protection capabilities in the cloud environment. User Support, Training, and Adoption Develop and deliver training materials, user guides, and communications to enhance end-user adoption and effective utilisation of O365 tools. Provide escalated technical support for user issues related to O365 services, coordinating resolution and feedback loops. Engage with business units to understand user needs and tailor support and training programs accordingly. Monitor and measures user satisfaction and adoption trends, driving initiatives to address gaps and improve service experience. Platform Integration and Collaboration Evaluate, design, and manage integrations between O365 and other enterprise systems facilitating seamless workflows and data exchange. Work closely with IT teams, business units, and external vendors to plan and deliver integrated solutions that leverage O365 capabilities. Act as an O365 subject-matter expert in cross-functional projects, influencing design decisions and ensuring cloud platform compatibility. Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on automation, process optimisation, and platform innovation. Note there is a trailing

           

          at end, which is just a non-breaking space; we should keep that as content? It's a space entity. We'll output a

           

          maybe. Now we need to decide which headings get

          . According to examples, top-level sections: Mission/Core purpose, Education, Experience, Skills, Key Activities & Responsibilities, plus subheadings like O365 Service Management and Administration, Incident, Problem and Change Management, Security, Compliance, and Governance, User Support, Training, and Adoption, Platform Integration and Collaboration. Those could also be

          . We'll treat all headings as

          . Then the paragraphs under each heading will be

          (or

          • if they are list items). For Experience and Skills, each line is a separate item; we should use
            • . For the other sections, each bullet line is a sentence; we could also treat them as
              • but the original didn't have list markers; they were separate lines separated by
                . The instruction: Use
                • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). For duties, we could also use list. The sections like "O365 Service Management and Administration" have duties; we could make them list items. However the instruction says use
                  • for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). So we should convert duty lines to
                  • . Similarly for responsibilities etc. Thus for each section after a heading, if the content consists of multiple sentences separated by
                    (line breaks), we should wrap each line in
                  • inside a
                      . If there is only one sentence (like Education), we just use

                      . Let's apply. Mission/Core purpose: single paragraph ->

                      . Education: single line ->

                      . Experience: multiple lines ->

                      • each line. Skills: multiple lines ->
                        • each line. Key Activities & Responsibilities: heading, then subheading O365 Service Management and Administration (maybe treat as

                          ?), then its duties lines ->
                          • . Then next subheading Incident, Problem and Change Management ->

                            then its duties lines ->
                            • . Then Security, Compliance, and Governance ->

                              then its duties lines ->
                              • . Then User Support, Training, and Adoption ->

                                then its duties lines ->
                                • . Then Platform Integration and Collaboration ->

                                  then its duties lines ->
                                  • . Finally the trailing   ->

                                     

                                    . Now we need to ensure we preserve the exact text, including punctuation, apostrophes, etc. Also note the special characters: MTN’s (apostrophe curly). We must keep that exactly. Also “&” inside text must stay as &. Also “ ” as is. Now produce HTML. We'll start with
