ISV Ecosystem Growth Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Remove boilerplate. Keep substantive info: Overview, Responsibilities, Requirements, Nice-to-Haves maybe, Pay (salary ranges), Benefits (mention equity, bonus, benefits, health, dental, vision, 401(k), flexible spending account, paid leave). Also maybe "Okta Experience" but that's fluff? It's about well-being, social impact, talent, connection, onboarding. Might be considered benefits? Could include as a section "Okta Experience" but not required. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can include sections: Overview, Responsibilities, Requirements, Nice-to-Haves, Pay, Benefits. Also maybe "Okta Experience" as a section? It's descriptive but not a standard heading; but we could treat as "About the team" maybe. However they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They prefer those headings. We can map content: Overview could be "About the role". Responsibilities as given. Requirements as given. Nice-to-Haves could be "Skills" or "Qualifications". Pay section with salary ranges. Benefits section with equity, bonus, health etc. Schedule not present, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove "The Okta Experience" maybe but could be considered benefits? It's about culture; maybe we can include as a paragraph under Benefits? But better to keep as a separate section "About the team" but not in list. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Overview and Okta Experience into About the role. Let's craft About the role paragraph summarizing mission and team. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep details like responsibilities bullet points, requirements bullet points, nice-to-haves bullet points, salary ranges, benefits details. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. Let's extract: Overview paragraph: "Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence. This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.

We are driving the formation and adoption of new identity standards focused on building an interconnected and secure AI ecosystem.
