with the sentence. However instruction: Use

We need to ensure we don't invent content. The original sentence: "The Business Development Director is an individual contributor and is responsible for identifying potential business opportunities, developing relationships and understanding the customer's critical business strategies within accounts in southern Connecticut, and the New York City market then working with a team of subject matter experts to create and execute a solution to help achieve the customer's business objectives."
We can split into three bullets: identify potential business opportunities; develop relationships and understand customer's critical business strategies within accounts in southern Connecticut and the New York City market; work with a team of subject matter experts to create and execute a solution to help achieve the customer's business objectives.
That's accurate.
Now Requirements section: list items.
We need to decide what goes in Requirements.
From qualifications list, we can treat the following as requirements (mandatory):
- Must be currently located in southern Connecticut or the Westchester County area.
- Minimum seven years of direct B2B sales experience calling on Fortune 1000 companies.
- Clear history of new business development selling marketing solutions, or professional business services.

- Large volume sales experience ($250k plus per sale).
- Experience with broad range of sales cycles (three to six to twelve months).

These are all mandatory-sounding.
We'll bullet them.

But we have proficiency in MS Office required; that's a skill. Could go under Skills. But we also have "Proficiency with web, SaaS, and mobile applications a plus". That's also skill.
We could put Skills section: proficiency in MS Office required; proficiency with web, SaaS, mobile a plus; strong business acumen; curious; competitive; confident; assertive; dependable; ability to provoke constructive conversation; works well in dynamic team environment.
