We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Disclosure Pursuant to Applicable State Equal Pay Transparency Laws" maybe part of Pay? It mentions pay range. Keep pay range. Also benefits: mention comprehensive benefits framework. So we need Benefits section. Pay section: include pay range. Schedule: maybe mention in-office expectations: 2-3 days a week in office. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section.
We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills maybe combine? The instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can decide which to include based on content. We have content about role description, responsibilities list, qualifications (experience, skills), maybe also "We'd love to talk to you if you have many of the following" which is qualifications/requirements. Also "We are extra excited if you have any of the following" could be preferred qualifications. Also "How you will be measured" maybe could be under Responsibilities or separate? Could be under Responsibilities? Might be better as a separate section like Performance Metrics but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into Responsibilities. Probably better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we may not need all if content thin. We need to avoid filler. Let's map:
About the role: introductory paragraphs describing Cohesity, mission, role purpose.
Responsibilities: the list under "HOW YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME HERE:" bullet points.
Requirements: maybe the "WE’D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE MANY OF THE FOLLOWING:" list (minimum 5 years experience etc.) That's requirements.
Qualifications: maybe the "WE ARE EXTRA EXCITED IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:" list (preferred qualifications). Could be Qualifications.
Skills: maybe combine with requirements? Could separate but we have skill items like "Strong cross-functional operating skills", "Data fluency", etc. Those are in requirements list. Might be okay to put them under Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for those categories if we have content. We could have Requirements and Qualifications separate, and maybe Skills not needed if covered. But we could still include Skills heading with relevant skills extracted.
Benefits: mention comprehensive benefits framework.
Pay: include pay range.
Schedule: in-office expectations 2-3 days a week.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, privacy notice, disclosure about pay transparency (though we keep pay range). Also remove "Data Privacy Notice for Job Candidates", "Equal Employment Opportunity Employer", "In-Office Expectations" partly we keep schedule but remove fluff.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep details like: "Own an assigned quota for markets without dedicated coverage — build and run targeted campaigns, plays, and programs that generate and convert pipeline." etc.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet points:
- Own an assigned quota for markets without dedicated coverage — build and run targeted campaigns, plays, and programs that generate and convert pipeline.
- Own the data model that signals when a market is ready for dedicated coverage, and manage joint go-to-market programs with technology and channel partners.
- Build direct executive relationships between Cohesity and customer security leadership — briefing programs, roundtables, and a consistent point of view.
- Be the cross-functional connective tissue for the specialist organization — the single point of coordination with Marketing, Sales/Revenue Operations, Product, and the broader delivery ecosystem.
- Own and maintain the team's enablement and positioning library, and scale what works into repeatable sales plays, programs, and campaigns.
- Design and run internal sales incentives, and own territory data hygiene and the reporting infrastructure that gives leadership a single source of truth.
- Build and maintain the recurring leadership narrative, run the team's operating cadence, and partner with recruiting on hiring pipeline and ramp logistics.
Now requirements list (WE’D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU HAVE MANY OF THE FOLLOWING):
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in the cybersecurity industry, with a focus on business development and strategic partnerships.
- Demonstrated success building and scaling partner-driven growth initiatives in a global environment.
- Demonstrable experience driving scale in a global environment.
- Experience building demand-generation or scale-coverage programs, and managing partner/channel go-to-market programs — co-marketing, deal registration, joint pipeline.
- Strong cross-functional operating skills — comfortable being the connective tissue among Sales, Marketing, Product, and Operations without formal authority.
- Data fluency and program-management discipline — able to run multiple concurrent workstreams without dropping any of them.
- Strong written and visual communication skills, and experience designing sales incentive programs that turn a one-off win into a repeatable play.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making.
- Professional English language proficiency for customer and internal communication.
- The ability to travel as required for the role.
Preferred qualifications (WE ARE EXTRA EXCITED IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING):
- Experience supporting a newly formed or fast-scaling specialist / overlay sales organization, with background in cybersecurity, data protection, or cyber-resilience markets.
- Experience with territory or trigger-based coverage models, and building recruiting pipeline or onboarding programs with a hiring manager or Talent team.
How you will be measured (maybe could be under Responsibilities or a separate section like Performance Metrics but not in allowed headings). Could incorporate into Responsibilities as additional bullet? But it's separate measurement. Could add a section "Performance Metrics" but not allowed. Could add under Responsibilities as extra bullet? Might be okay to add a separate section "Performance Metrics" but instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings (e.g.) implying those are examples; we could still add other headings if needed. However instruction: "Use

How you will be measured (maybe could be under Responsibilities or a separate section like Performance Metrics but not in allowed headings). Could incorporate into Responsibilities as additional bullet? But it's separate measurement. Could add a section "Performance Metrics" but not allowed. Could add under Responsibilities as extra bullet? Might be okay to add a separate section "Performance Metrics" but instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings (e.g.) implying those are examples; we could still add other headings if needed. However instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe, we should stick to those. So we need to fit "How you will be measured" into one of those sections. Could be under Responsibilities (as part of role) or maybe under Requirements? Probably under Responsibilities as part of what you'll be measured on. We'll add a bullet under Responsibilities: "Will be measured by attainment of assigned quota, accuracy/adoption of coverage data model, partner-sourced pipeline, joint program results, adoption/impact of enablement, plays, incentives, reliability of team's reporting, time given back to VP and Solutions Architecture leader, ramp time and hiring velocity for new team members you help coordinate." That captures.
Now Benefits: "Additionally, full-time employees are eligible to participate in our comprehensive benefits framework, including health and wellness benefits, vacation, paid holidays and refresh days, 401(k) retirement plan, life and disability insurance coverages, and other benefits the Company may offer from time to time."
Pay: "Pay Range : $269,280.00-$336,600.00 The compensation noted above is based on an annualized hourly rate assuming normal full-time employment. Current pay transparency shows the OTE (On-Target Earnings) for commission-based roles."
Schedule: In-office expectations: "Cohesity employees who are within a reasonable commute (e.g. within a forty-five (45) minute average travel time) work out of our core offices 2-3 days a week of their choosing. We strongly prefer candidates who are currently located in or near the designated job location. Candidates outside the area should apply only if they are committed to relocating prior to their start date and have the legal right to work in the job location."
We need to keep schedule info: 2-3 days a week in office.
Now About the role: introductory paragraphs: "Cohesity is a leader in AI-powered data security and management. Aided by an extensive ecosystem of partners, Cohesity makes it easy to secure, protect, manage, and get value from data — across the data center, edge, and cloud. Cohesity helps organizations defend against cybersecurity threats with comprehensive data security and management capabilities, including immutable backup snapshots, AI-based threat detection, monitoring for malicious behavior, and rapid recovery at scale. We’ve been named a Leader by multiple analyst firms and have been globally recognized for Innovation, Product Strength, and Simplicity in Design. Join us on our mission to shape the future of our industry. The Security specialist organization is a founding team: a lean group of Security Sales Specialists and Solutions Architects covering the highest-priority markets first, with more markets earning dedicated coverage over time. A team this size can't put a dedicated person in every territory on day one, and it can't afford every rep independently rebuilding enablement or waiting on operational support that doesn't exist yet. This role is both things a lean specialist team needs and doesn't yet have: the scale mechanism that generates coverage in markets without a dedicated rep, and the connective tissue that keeps a fast-growing, globally distributed team operating as one function instead of independent pods. You have two jobs that reinforce each other. First, you own go-to-market motion and pipeline generation for every market without a dedicated Security Sales Specialist or Security Solutions Architect — through targeted campaigns, partner-sourced pipeline, and programs that reach accounts the core team can't cover directly. Second, you are the operational hub for the specialist organization itself — enablement, reporting, cross-functional coordination, and the infrastructure that lets the VP, the Solutions Architecture leader, and the field spend their time selling and coaching instead of building decks and chasing status updates. At the center of this role is one standing responsibility: helping structure and maintain a cohesive, impactful operating model for the Security specialist organization as it scales."
We can keep that as About the role.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and - for lists,

But those are already in requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we skip Skills section. However instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. We have skill content, but it's already in Requirements. Could still create Skills section with those skill items, but that would duplicate content. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not prohibited but might be considered redundant. Better to not duplicate.
