Director, Agency Partnerships
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map to those headings. The posting has "About Hearst Magazines (Why Us?)" which is about the company; we can use "About Hearst Magazines" as heading. "Key Responsibilities" -> heading "Responsibilities". "Qualifications" -> heading "Qualifications". "Benefits" -> heading "Benefits". Salary range -> heading "Pay". Also maybe schedule: they mention hybrid schedule of four days per week; that is schedule info. So we can include a "Schedule" section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Remove duplicated lines. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide what content goes into lists vs paragraphs.
Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. We'll extract each sentence after "Lead strategic relationships..." etc. We'll make each as
- .
Qualifications: bullet list of requirements.
Benefits: bullet list of benefits.
Pay: paragraph with salary range and bonus/commission note.
Schedule: paragraph about hybrid schedule four days per week.
About Hearst Magazines: paragraph(s) describing.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include sections with no content.
Let's craft.
First, About Hearst Magazines: combine the two paragraphs: "Hearst Magazines is one of the world's largest lifestyle media companies, with a portfolio of 30 iconic brands reaching hundreds of millions of consumers across digital, social, video, print, experiential, and emerging platforms. Our trusted brands, premium audiences, and award-winning storytelling are powered by innovative advertising solutions, first-party data, creative strategy, and measurable performance. Together, we help marketers solve complex business challenges while creating campaigns that inspire audiences and deliver results."
We'll put in
.
Responsibilities: list items:
- Lead strategic relationships across an assigned portfolio of agency holding companies, independent agencies, and key accounts, driving long-term revenue growth and executive engagement.
- Identify, develop, and close new business opportunities by influencing agency planning cycles, uncovering client needs, and winning competitive RFPs.

- Lead negotiations and commercial discussions while partnering with internal cross-functional teams to deliver seamless client solutions.
- Expand executive relationships across agency investment, strategy, innovation, planning, and client leadership teams to increase Hearst's visibility and influence.
- Maintain a disciplined sales pipeline, accurately forecast revenue, and consistently achieve or exceed business goals.
Qualifications list:
- 10+ years of experience in media sales, advertising, integrated marketing, or strategic business development with a strong focus on agency partnerships.
- Established relationships with senior leaders across agency holding companies and independent agencies.
- Demonstrated success exceeding revenue goals and growing strategic accounts through consultative, solution-based selling.
- Experience selling integrated media solutions across digital, video, social, print, branded content, experiential, programmatic, and data-driven offerings.
- Strong executive presence with exceptional communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-management skills.
- Proven ability to navigate complex sales cycles and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.

- Proficiency with CRM platforms, sales forecasting tools, analytics, and presentation software.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.

Benefits list:

Pay: paragraph: "The base salary range for this role is $180,000–$195,000. This role is also eligible for bonus and/or commission compensation. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Hearst Magazines currently anticipates hiring multiple individuals into this position. Applicants will be considered for any available Director, Agency Partnerships openings that align with their qualifications."
Schedule: maybe we already included hybrid schedule in qualifications and benefits; but we can still have a Schedule section: "Hybrid schedule: four days per week in the New York City office."
But we might avoid duplication. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Since schedule is mentioned in qualifications and benefits, we could omit separate Schedule section to avoid thin. However they said include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does mention hybrid schedule of four days per week. It's specific. Could be placed under Schedule. But we already have it in Qualifications and Benefits; repeating may be duplication. Better to put schedule in its own section and not repeat elsewhere. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can move schedule info to Schedule section and remove from Qualifications/Benefits. However the qualifications bullet includes "Ability to work from our New York City office on a hybrid schedule of four days per week." That's a qualification. If we move it to Schedule, we should still keep it somewhere; we could keep it in Schedule and remove from Qualifications to avoid duplication. But the qualifications list may lose that bullet; but it's still a qualification (ability to work hybrid). Might be okay to keep it there as well; duplication is allowed? They said remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicate content. So we should decide where to place schedule info. Probably best to keep it in Qualifications as it's a requirement, and not create a separate Schedule section to avoid duplication. But then we would not have a Schedule section, which is okay if we don't have specific content beyond that. However the instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule, so we could create Schedule section. But then we would need to avoid duplicating the same sentence elsewhere. We could keep schedule info only in Schedule section and not duplicate in Qualifications/Benefits. Let's examine if schedule appears elsewhere: Benefits includes "Work-Life Harmony: Enjoy the flexibility of hybrid work, empowering you to balance professional success with personal priorities." That's also about hybrid work but not exactly four days per week. So we could keep that in Benefits and schedule section just about the four days per week requirement. That's not duplicate exactly; they are different phrasing. Might be okay.
But to be safe, we can create Schedule section with sentence: "Hybrid schedule: four days per week in the New York City office." And keep Qualifications bullet without the schedule phrase (remove that part). However the bullet originally: "Ability to work from our New York City office on a hybrid schedule of four days per week." If we remove that phrase, we lose that qualification. But we could keep a qualification like "Ability to work from our New York City office." but that loses specificity. Might be okay but we risk losing info. Better to keep schedule info in Qualifications and not create separate Schedule section, as schedule is a qualification/benefit. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can skip Schedule section.
Thus sections: About Hearst Magazines, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, with
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
