We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description and extract sections. Let's identify content: - "Why This Role? Why Now?" maybe about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put under

About the role

with paragraphs. - "Mission" maybe part of responsibilities. - "Overarching Objective For The Role" maybe responsibilities. - "How You’ll Make an Impact" maybe responsibilities. - "Strategic Responsibilities" then bullet list. - "What You’ll Need to Succeed" maybe skills. - "Strategic Skills & Expertise" then bullet list. - "Qualifications" bullet list. - Pay: "The US annualized OTE (On Target Earnings) range for this position is $118,000.00-$178,000.00 with a pay mix of 70/30 (base/commission). This position may also be eligible for bonus, benefits, or related incentives." So we have Pay section. - Benefits: Not explicitly listed besides "bonus, benefits, or related incentives". Not specific benefits. Should we include Benefits section? The rule: never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It mentions "benefits" generically but not specific. Likely we should not create a Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Could include a short note? But rule says only when posting has real, specific content. So skip Benefits. - Schedule: Not mentioned. So skip. - About the role: we have "Why This Role? Why Now?" and maybe "Mission". We'll combine. - Responsibilities: we have "How You’ll Make an Impact", "Strategic Responsibilities", maybe "Overarching Objective". We'll put under Responsibilities. - Skills: "What You’ll Need to Succeed" and "Strategic Skills & Expertise". Could be Skills. - Qualifications: separate. - Pay: as above. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, skills list, qualifications list. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract paragraphs. First, "Why This Role? Why Now?" text: "Why This Role? Why Now? Customer experience is transforming through AI-driven innovation. At Zendesk, we don’t just embrace this change — we lead it. As visionary architects of our AI-powered Resolution Platform, AI Success Strategists shape and deliver long-term AI success for our customers. This role transcends technical deployment; it is about owning the strategic AI roadmap, maximizing business impact, and builds executive partnerships from day one so AI initiatives start strong and scale predictably." We'll put that as

    under About the role. Next "Mission": "Mission You will own end-to-end delivery of customers’ AI roadmaps: translating product capabilities into clear business strategies, defining a long-term AI vision, aligning internal and external teams, and driving execution from initial adoption through sustained expansion. Your success is measured by high customer satisfaction, increased automated resolution usage, and improved retention—while orchestrating the right mix of product, services, and partner resources. You will lead structured discovery and success-planning engagements that create measurable playbooks and milestones early in the lifecycle." We can include that as part of About the role or Responsibilities. Probably About the role includes mission. We'll keep under About the role. Next "Overarching Objective For The Role": two bullet-like sentences but not list. We'll treat as paragraph. "Overarching Objective For The Role Accelerate customers’ time‑to‑value by driving adoption and operational excellence for Zendesk AI solutions, ensuring customers realize measurable business impact from initial deployment through scaleOwn customers’ multi‑year AI roadmap and execute cross‑functional delivery—aligning Product, Services, Sales, and Partners to scale safe, sustainable AI programsDeliver quantifiable commercial outcomes—protect renewals, grow account expansion, and translate AI adoption into predictable revenue and retention improvements" Note there is missing space after "scale". We'll keep as is. Next "How You’ll Make an Impact": heading then "Strategic Responsibilities" then bullet list. We'll treat "How You’ll Make an Impact" as intro paragraph maybe. Then list items under Strategic Responsibilities: - Full Ownership of AI Roadmap Delivery: Lead the design, planning, and execution of comprehensive AI adoption and expansion roadmaps for key customers, ensuring alignment to their broader business goals and customer success vision. - Design Authority: Serve as the design authority for customers’ AI deployments — lead solution design reviews, ensure deployments align with the latest best practices and collaborate with Professional Services on integration and configuration guidance.

Serve as the primary AI thought leader and trusted advisor throughout the engagement lifecycle. - Internal and External Stakeholder Alignment: Dedicate effort to internal cross-functional collaboration, aligning Product, Professional Services, Sales, Success, and other teams to deliver on the AI roadmap. Serve as the Engagement Lead: Coordinate and sequence activities, identify and escalate risks early, and ensure the right technical, product, and services resources are engaged at the appropriate times. - Sustain Engagement & Mutual AI Roadmap: Maintain recurring outcome-driven cadences and mutual AI Roadmap that define strategic goals, shared initiatives, measurable success, and a roadmap to maximize value and secure renewal. - Channel & Adoption Strategy: Own the channel strategy for AI solution dissemination and adoption, balancing direct customer delivery with channel enablement and partner engagement. - Measure and Drive Impact: Utilize data-driven insights to track AI adoption, resolution metrics, and gross revenue retention improvements.

        • . Pay: we have paragraph. We'll create

          Pay

          with

          containing that sentence. We should not include Benefits or Schedule. Now ensure we don't repeat job title. Not needed. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
