Information TechnologyFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. First, there is a description: "WAGO is the backbone of a smart, connected world. Click below to apply! WAGO Corporation is seeking a Data Center Business Lead to directly manage our Data Center Business Development Managers (BDMs) and head the Industry Management function. In this role, the Lead will establish a unified team direction and convert customer insights into commercial priorities. You will align regional and global stakeholders while steering WAGO toward scalable growth across hyperscale, colocation, OEM, system-integrator, and major end-user segments." That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with a paragraph. Next, "WAGO offers a competitive salary, company vehicle and a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, company-paid insurance plans - life, AD&D, short-term disability and long-term disability, and a retirement 401k plan." That's Benefits (and maybe Pay). It mentions competitive salary (Pay) and benefits. We need separate sections if content exists. Pay: "competitive salary" maybe also "company vehicle". Could treat Pay as competitive salary and company vehicle. Benefits: medical, dental, vision, insurance plans, retirement 401k. We need to avoid placeholder like "competitive salary" is okay; it's specific enough? It says competitive salary (no number). The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "competitive salary" is vague but maybe acceptable? It's not exactly placeholder like "not specified". It's a statement. I'd include Pay section with that sentence. Travel: "Must be able to travel via airplane, hold a valid driver’s license, and operate an automobile for extended periods Must be able to lift a minimum of 50 lbs.Travel estimate 50%. Frequent travel is required to engage customers, partners, industry events, WAGO locations, and global stakeholders". That could be Schedule? Actually travel requirements. Could be under Schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe "Travel". There's no Schedule heading defined; we have Schedule as possible section. Could put travel under Schedule? But schedule usually refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time, shift). Not present. So maybe we omit Schedule. We have "Experience And Qualifications" block: list of bullet-like sentences. We need to split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe. The text: "Experience And Qualifications Significant experience in industrial automation, electrical connectivity, controls, or adjacent technologies, with success in business development, product strategy, or sales leadershipProven track record of managing market-facing professionals, setting performance standards, and aligning individual execution to strategyDemonstrated ability to build and lead strategy in complex, evolving markets and create structure in ambiguous environmentsWorking knowledge of Data Center infrastructure, automation, industrial computing, operational technology , and facility-to-IT system relationships is strongly preferred Leadership Competencies Strategic clarity: distills complexity into choices, priorities, and a compelling directionMarket curiosity: seeks evidence, tests assumptions, and anticipates customer and technology shiftsPeople leadership: creates clarity, develops talent, manages performance, and builds an accountable, collaborative teamEnterprise leadership: optimizes for WAGO’s overall success rather than a single function or regionDecisiveness with discipline: makes timely recommendations using transparent criteria and available evidenceCollaborative influence: creates alignment, accountability, and momentum across diverse stakeholdersCommercial ownership: connects strategy and portfolio decisions to measurable customer and business outcomesExecution rigor: establishes cadence, follows through on commitments, and removes barriers to progress" We need to separate into sections: Requirements (maybe experience), Qualifications (maybe education?), Skills (leadership competencies). The posting doesn't separate clearly. We can create: - Requirements: Significant experience in industrial automation, electrical connectivity, controls, or adjacent technologies, with success in business development, product strategy, or sales leadership; Proven track record of managing market-facing professionals, setting performance standards, and aligning individual execution to strategy; Demonstrated ability to build and lead strategy in complex, evolving markets and create structure in ambiguous environments; Working knowledge of Data Center infrastructure, automation, industrial computing, operational technology, and facility-to-IT system relationships is strongly preferred. - Qualifications: maybe none separate; but we could treat the same as Requirements. However we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have to follow headings if content exists. Could put all under Requirements and skip Qualifications if no distinct content. But we need to include Skills: Leadership Competencies list. Thus:

Requirements

with
  • items for each bullet. Then

    Skills

    with list of leadership competencies. Now Duties and Responsibilities: big block with headings inside: People Leadership and Team Performance, Industry Strategy and Growth Steering, Product Portfolio Intelligence, Application Focus and Solutions Prioritization, Commercial Development and Strategic Accounts, Market Activation and Organizational Enablement, Decision Leadership, Additional Responsibilities. We need to output as

    Responsibilities

    with
    • for each duty. Could break into sub-items? The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a flat list of duties, each as
      • . Could also group but fine. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract each duty sentence. Let's parse the Duties and Responsibilities section: "People Leadership and Team Performance Lead, coach, and develop the BDM team by setting clear objectives, responsibilities, performance standards, and account territoriesEstablish a consistent management rhythm for pipeline reviews, strategic account planning, capability building, and obstacle resolutionIntegrate BDM resources and Industry Management functions to operate as a single, collaborative, and cross-functional teamAssess resource needs, recommend organizational changes, support talent selection, and build long-term succession pipelines" That seems like multiple duties separated by no punctuation. We need to split logically: maybe each sentence starts with a verb. Let's identify: - Lead, coach, and develop the BDM team by setting clear objectives, responsibilities, performance standards, and account territories - Establish a consistent management rhythm for pipeline reviews, strategic account planning, capability building, and obstacle resolution - Integrate BDM resources and Industry Management functions to operate as a single, collaborative, and cross-functional team - Assess resource needs, recommend organizational changes, support talent selection, and build long-term succession pipelines Next: "Industry Strategy and Growth Steering Lead the Industry Management process to continuous refine regional strategy, including market segmentation, target customer definitions, and routes to marketTranslate high-level strategy into actionable multi-year roadmaps and annual operating plans with defined milestones and measuresRun business review cadences to identify performance gaps, resolve functional barriers, and allocate resources to high-value opportunitiesCoordinate regional priorities with global WAGO industry, product, and technology strategies while advocating for Americas requirements" Split: -

Lead recommendations and facilitate decisions on priority market segments, applications, customer archetypes, and ecosystem relationships - Lead recommendations and facilitate decisions on Data Center portfolio requirements and the relative business priority of roadmap requests - Lead recommendations and facilitate decisions on team structure, Business Development Manager priorities, account coverage, objectives, and allocation of market-development effort across strategic accounts, solution development, enablement, and campaigns -

Frequent travel is required to engage customers, partners, industry events, WAGO locations, and global stakeholders But travel estimate maybe part of previous. We'll keep as separate.
