It's boilerplate about company, not specific to role. Likely remove as boilerplate (company overview). The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description may be considered boilerplate; not specific to role. Probably remove. - Also "Southern Company invests..." etc. Remove. - "Job Identification: 21770 Job Category: Sales & Marketing Job Schedule: Full time Company: Alabama Power" - remove. Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe from Position Summary + Energy Services Overview?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Education + Knowledge/Experience?), Qualifications (maybe Certifications?), Skills, Benefits. Pay: we have "Competitive Pay" mentioned in Benefits line. It says "Competitive PayExcellent benefits package..." So pay is mentioned as "Competitive Pay". That's a statement about pay, but not specific numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive Pay". So we can include a Pay section with that phrase. However they also say "Benefits Competitive PayExcellent benefits package which includes:" So Benefits and Pay are combined. We could separate: Pay section with "Competitive Pay". Benefits section with list. Schedule: Not mentioned besides "Job Schedule: Full time" which we removed as boilerplate? Actually it's a metadata line; we should drop it. No schedule info elsewhere. So no Schedule section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content. About the role: Could combine Energy Services Overview and Position Summary and location flexibility and travel expectations. Let's craft:

Expected travel is approximately 30–40%.

    That seems to capture. Responsibilities: Use the Position Responsibilities paragraph, break into list items maybe. We have a long sentence with multiple responsibilities separated by periods. We can split into
    • each. Let's extract each responsibility: - Set statewide business development strategy, priorities, and operating cadence for Energy Services energy conservation opportunities within the MUSH and commercial/industrial markets. - Lead, coach, and provide work direction to directs for customer discovery, opportunity qualification, proposal strategy, and opportunity advancement within the energy conservation market. - Establish pipeline governance, opportunity review cadence, customer engagement expectations, proposal standards, and performance reporting for leadership visibility. - Own the timeliness, accuracy, and consistency of business development updates and pipeline reporting across Energy Services and key organizational stakeholders. - Prioritize opportunities based on customer value, feasibility, risk, available resources, and strategic alignment. - Coordinate with APC Account Management/Sales leadership, internal partners, external stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to support customer engagement, proposal advancement, governance, resource alignment, and market growth. - Ensure proposals and contracts are adequately developed through coordination with the Project Development Team, including confirmation that scope, estimates, schedules, risks, financial assumptions, customer commitments, and execution transition plans are complete, aligned, and ready for customer and internal approval. - Represent Energy Services in customer, industry, and internal leadership discussions related to energy conservation strategy, ESCO-market growth, and statewide business development priorities.

We could treat Requirements as the mandatory items: CEM Certification REQUIRED, Minimum two years of people leadership experience required.
