We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe "You May Be a Good Fit If You Have" qualifies as Requirements/Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule if present. The posting includes: About Anthropic (mission) - but we should not repeat job title as heading; we can include "About the role" heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes "About The Role" paragraph. So we can have

About the role

with that paragraph. Responsibilities: there is a big list under "Responsibilities". We'll put

Responsibilities

with
  • each bullet. Requirements/Qualifications: there is "You May Be a Good Fit If You Have" list. That's qualifications. We'll use

    Requirements

    (or Qualifications). Use
    • . Benefits: there is a paragraph at end: "We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space..." That's benefits. So we can have

      Benefits

      with
      • items. Pay: there is "Annual Salary $265,000—$320,000 USD". So we can have

        Pay

        with

        that sentence. Schedule: there is "Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices." That's schedule info. So we can have

        Schedule

        with

        that. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove "How We're Different", "Guidance on Candidates' AI Usage", etc. Also remove "About Anthropic" mission? That's not about the role; but maybe we can keep as part of "About the role"? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it. The "About Anthropic" is generic company description; not required but could be considered boilerplate? It's not about the role. Might be considered boilerplate but it's not navigation/legal/EEO. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Anthropic" is substantive about company mission. Should we include? It could be placed under a heading like "About Anthropic" but not in the list of allowed headings. The allowed headings are limited to those examples; but we could still use

        About Anthropic

        if we want, but they said use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests we should stick to those headings; but we could also include other headings if needed? The instruction: "use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we could still use other headings but better to follow examples. The "About Anthropic" could be considered part of "About the role"? Not really. Might be okay to include as a

        without heading. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine the mission into a paragraph under "About the role" or just include as a

        before the role heading. But we need to output only HTML fragment; we can include a

        for the mission before the headings. We must not include duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. Remove "We encourage you to apply..." etc. Also remove "Visa sponsorship" etc? That's not boilerplate but could be considered metadata; but it's substantive about visa sponsorship. Should we keep? It's under Logistics. Could be considered part of Requirements? Might be better to include as a short

        under maybe "Logistics" but not a heading. Since we prefer few sections, we could fold that into a paragraph under Requirements or Benefits? Probably better to include as a

        under Requirements? But it's not a requirement. Could be its own section "Logistics" but not in examples. Might be okay to drop as minor metadata? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it. Visa sponsorship is maybe minor metadata; we could include a short

        somewhere. But we can also drop it if we consider minor. However it's substantive for candidates. I'd keep it as a

        under Requirements or maybe under Benefits? I'd add a

        after Requirements: "Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this." That's okay. Also "Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination..." etc. That's requirements. We'll include those in Requirements list. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all bullet points from Responsibilities and Qualifications exactly as given, not summarizing. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. We'll start with a

        for Anthropic mission? Actually the mission paragraph: "About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems." That's about the company. We'll include as a

        before sections. Then

        About the role

        with the paragraph: "As Manager, Customer Success – Commercial, you'll lead the Customer Success Managers who cover our Commercial accounts: high-growth mid-market technology companies (including cybersecurity and fintech), mid-market organizations in industries such as financial services, healthcare, legal and professional services, private equity-backed portfolio companies, and a high-volume SMB book, all building on Claude across API, Claude Code, Cowork and other surfaces.

          with each bullet. We need to extract bullet points exactly as they appear under "Responsibilities".

Those are also requirements. We'll include them as list items. Also "Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices." That's schedule. Also "Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this." We'll include as a

          maybe under Requirements or separate. Also "We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification..." that's boilerplate encouragement; could be considered minor metadata; we can drop. Also "Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome..." that's also encouragement; drop. Also "We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications..." drop. Also "Your safety matters to us..." drop. Also "How We're Different..." drop. Also "Guidance on Candidates' AI Usage:" drop. Also "Come work with
