We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities? Actually posting includes "About The Role", "What You’ll Achieve", "What You’ll Bring", "Our Benefits". Also maybe "How We Work" but that's not a required heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to map content. We have sections: About The Role (description). What You’ll Achieve (responsibilities/achievements). What You’ll Bring (requirements/qualifications). Our Benefits (benefits). Also maybe "How We Work" could be considered "About the company" but not required headings list; we could include as a section maybe "About Ent" but not in list; but instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine "How We Work" into About the role? Probably better to keep as a separate section "About Ent" but not in allowed headings list? The examples are just examples; we can use other headings if needed? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those specific headings; but we can also use others if needed? Safer to stick to those. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities (What You’ll Achieve), Requirements/Qualifications (What You’ll Bring), Benefits (Our Benefits). Pay and Schedule not present, so omit. Also maybe "Skills" not separate. Thus produce:

About the role

with paragraph(s) from About The Role. Then

Responsibilities

with
  • from What You’ll Achieve. Then

    Requirements

    with
    • from What You’ll Bring (must-haves and bonus maybe separate? Could combine but we can list must-haves as li, bonus as separate? Might be okay. Then

      Benefits

      with
      • from Our Benefits. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove navigation etc. The initial "About Ent Ent ..." is company description; maybe we could include as part of About the role? But instruction says do NOT repeat job title as heading; but we can include company description as a paragraph under About the role? Probably better to include a short paragraph about Ent under About the role before responsibilities. However the About The Role section already includes description of role; we could prepend company overview as part of About the role. But we must preserve all substantive information; the company overview is substantive. So include it in About the role section. Thus About the role: combine company overview paragraph(s) and role description. Let's extract company overview: "About Ent Ent is the intent-aware workspace security platform for securing human and AI-driven work. Built to protect productivity, the new attack surface, Ent understands not just what users and agents do but why, and intervenes at the moment of risk before incidents occur. Where existing tools see events, Ent sees intent, so security teams can step in at the moment of risk instead of investigating days later. Founded by Lou Manousos and Brandon Dixon, co-founders of RiskIQ (acquired by Microsoft) and the team behind Microsoft Security Copilot, Ent is in production with Global 2000 customers across hospitality, financial services, and defense, and backed by Decibel, Sequoia, Crosspoint Capital, Craft Ventures, Shield Capital, Felicis, and In-Q-Tel. We’re now hiring the team that will define this category. How We Work Customer first. The product and the business are built around problems we’ve watched real security teams struggle with — not the other way around. Every roadmap conversation starts with what a CISO told us last week. Humble. No drama. We hire people who share the mission and trust each other to deliver. Teamwork over showmanship. Accountability over politics. The work speaks louder than the person doing it. Urgency. The window to build a durable security company in the AI era is open right now and it will not stay open. The shot clock has started. We move at the speed of the people we want to protect." We need to keep that. Now About The Role paragraph: "We're hiring Commercial Account Executives to sell Ent to security teams at organizations up to 2,500 employees. This is a full-cycle hunting role: you'll source most of your own pipeline, run the evaluation with a security team, build the business case, and close it. Deals move faster in this segment and there are more of them, so the job rewards activity, discipline, and the willingness to pick up the phone before anyone asks you to. You'll be selling a new category, which means the conversation starts with the problem rather than a feature comparison, and you'll be doing it early enough that what you learn in the field changes the product and the playbook." Now What You’ll Achieve bullet points: - You'll own a quota and hit it, running the full cycle from first conversation to signature to a clean handoff. - You'll build your own pipeline. This is the core of the job — outbound, your network, events, and partners. You won't wait for leads, and the majority of your number will come from what you sourced yourself. - You'll work at volume without getting sloppy: high activity, disciplined follow-up, and a pipeline you can inspect at any moment because you keep it current. - You'll run credible evaluations with security teams: scoping the proof of value, working alongside our engineers, and getting to a clear yes or no rather than a stalled pilot. - You'll multithread — security leadership, IT and identity owners, procurement — and build the business case that survives a budget conversation you're not in. - You'll forecast honestly. You'll know where every deal stands, what has to happen next, and you'll call your quarter accurately enough that leadership plans on it. - You'll bring the field back inside: the objections, the competitive patterns, the gaps. What you hear this month should show up in the roadmap and the pitch next quarter. - You'll work AI-native by default — account research, prep, follow-up, call review — and raise what's working so the rest of the team gets it too. Now What You’ll Bring (must-haves): - 2+ years carrying a quota in a full-cycle closing role selling cybersecurity. - Endpoint security experience preferred. - You're a hunter. You've built your own pipeline from a cold list, and you can tell us your outbound motion, your activity numbers, and the percentage of your quota you self-sourced. - You've worked the segment: organizations up to roughly 5,000 employees, multi-stakeholder deals, real evaluations, cycles measured in months rather than weeks. - You've sold to security buyers and can hold your own on a call with a security practitioner without reaching for a sales engineer to answer everything. - You're coachable in the moment. You've had your calls reviewed, taken the note, and changed what you did on the next one — and you treat pitch practice and deal reviews as reps rather than overhead. - You keep score. You know your numbers without looking them up, and you've missed a quarter, gone back to the tape, found the cause, and fixed it. - You make the people around you better: you share what's working, step in for a teammate mid-deal, and care whether the team's number lands, not only yours. - You've committed to something demanding alongside other people over a long stretch and stuck with it through the part that wasn't fun. Bonus: - You've been an early seller at a startup, before the playbook existed. - You've run a formal sales methodology well enough to have opinions about where it helps and where it gets in the way. - You've sold through partners or resellers alongside a direct motion. - You've moved up from a BDR or SDR seat and remember how the pipeline gets built. - You're genuinely excited about applying AI to how you sell. Now Benefits: - Distributed workplace. While we have positions we hire for in our SF office, we also hire remotely across North America. - Own a piece of the journey. Every teammate gets meaningful equity on top of their salary. - We’ve got you covered. 90% of your medical, dental, and vision is paid by Ent. We also cover 75% for your dependents. - Take the time you need. Our flexible PTO lets you recharge, travel, or just take a breather. - Family matters. 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave (birth, adoption, or foster) and 8 weeks fully paid paternity leave. - Live well. A $100 monthly lifestyle account to spend on what keeps you healthy and happy — fitness, wellness, learning, and more. - Set up your space. A $500 home office stipend when you join as a remote employee. We should omit Diversity & Accommodations and EEO boilerplate. Now produce HTML. We need to wrap each section in

        and then content. For lists use
        • . For prose use

          . We'll need to decide where to put paragraphs vs lists. About the role: combine company overview and role description into maybe two paragraphs. We'll output:
