We need to output HTML fragment with sections: 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. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodations, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the description. Key parts: - Description: Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Principal Real Estate Manager to lead portfolio strategy for our global data center real estate portfolio. This role is the strategic decision-maker responsible for evaluating and recommending the optimal disposition of assets across the portfolio lifecycle -including hold, sublease, sell, redevelop, expand, and exit strategies. The successful candidate will own the end-to-end real estate finance and portfolio optimization function for data center land and leases, driving analysis and recommendations that directly impact billions of dollars in asset value. You will operate at the intersection of real estate investment strategy across the existing portfolio, corporate finance, and infrastructure operations to maximize portfolio value and align real estate decisions with AWS's long-term capacity and growth objectives. This is a highly visible, individual contributor role requiring deep expertise in commercial real estate finance, portfolio optimization, and strategic planning at scale. You will influence executives across AWS and Amazon to shape the future of our physical infrastructure footprint. - Key job responsibilities: bullet list. - About The Team: paragraph. - Basic Qualifications: list. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - Benefits: mention comprehensive benefits including health insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, parental leave, link. - Pay: base salary range listed: USA, TX, Austin - 192,200.00 - 260,000.00 USD annually; USA, WA, Seattle - same. - Schedule: not mentioned. - Skills: maybe not explicit; but we could infer from qualifications. However we should only include sections with real specific content. There's no explicit "Skills" heading; but we could create a Skills section from qualifications? The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we should not create a Skills section unless there is explicit skills list. There's no explicit "Skills" heading; but we could treat qualifications as skills? Might be better to not include Skills if not explicit. However the instruction list includes Skills as a possible heading; we can omit if not present. - About the role: we have description paragraph; could be About the role. - Responsibilities: we have bullet list under "Key job responsibilities". - Requirements: maybe Basic Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications. - Benefits: we have benefits paragraph. - Pay: we have salary ranges. - Schedule: none. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. We need to use

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

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We must not repeat job title. Must not put Job ID etc. Must drop boilerplate: EEO, accommodations, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal. We need to keep the link for benefits? Probably we can keep as part of benefits prose. We need to keep the salary ranges exactly as given. We need to keep the location specifics: USA, TX, Austin - 192,200.00 - 260,000.00 USD annually; USA, WA, Seattle - 192,200.00 - 260,000.00 USD annually. We need to keep the team description. We need to keep the basic qualifications list exactly. We need to keep preferred qualifications list exactly. We need to keep responsibilities list exactly. We need to keep the description paragraph(s) about role. We need to keep the benefits paragraph. We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "If you have a disability..." etc. Also remove "Learn more about our benefits at https://amazon.jobs/en/benefits." maybe we can keep as part of benefits? It's a link; but it's not boilerplate? It's a link to benefits page; might be considered part of benefits. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits link is not exactly boilerplate; it's a reference to benefits. Might be okay to keep. But we could keep it as part of benefits paragraph. We also need to remove "Company - Amazon Data Services, Inc." maybe that's metadata; could be dropped as minor metadata. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can drop that line. We also need to drop "The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location." That's part of pay; we can keep that as prose in Pay section. We need to include sign-on payments and RSUs mention. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    We should not include Schedule section. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Check for any boilerplate left: we removed EEO, accommodations, etc. We kept the benefits link; that's okay. Check for any mention of "About The Team" - we omitted that as a section; but the team description is substantive. Should we include it? The instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The team description is under "About The Team". That is specific content about the team. We could create an "About the team" section, but the allowed headings list does not include "About the team". However we could incorporate that content into "About the role" maybe? But it's about the team, not the role. The instruction list includes "About the role" as a heading. It does not list "About the team". So we should not create a heading not in the list. We could fold the team description into "About the role" paragraph as additional prose. That would preserve the information. Let's do that: add the team description to the About the role paragraph.
