HybridBusiness DevelopmentFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "Senior Account Executive, Technology 5W is hiring...". We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have content: description of role, responsibilities (What You'll Do), requirements (What You Bring), benefits (Why You'll Love Working Here). No explicit Pay or Schedule details. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections. We need to use

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

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicate lines, application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions. We need to format sections: maybe About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (What You Bring), Benefits (Why You'll Love Working Here). Possibly also Qualifications/Skills but those are covered in Requirements. We could combine. We need to avoid filler like "competitive salary" is mentioned but no specific amount; but we can include Benefits section because they list benefits. Pay section only if posting actually states them; they mention "Competitive salary" but not a number; is that considered stating Pay? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." They said "Competitive salary with comprehensive benefits & wellness programs". That's a statement about salary being competitive but not a specific figure. Is that considered stating Pay? Probably yes, they mention salary, but it's vague. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Since they mention "Competitive salary", that is stating something about pay (that it's competitive). Might be okay to include Pay section? But they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to include Benefits only, and maybe incorporate salary into Benefits or About the role. Since they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The phrase "Competitive salary" is a statement about pay, albeit vague. I'd lean to include a Pay section with that statement. However they also said "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Competitive salary" is not exactly filler; it's a statement. So we could include Pay section with that sentence. But we also have Benefits section listing many benefits. So we could have both Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule: they mention flexible PTO, Summer Fridays, etc. That's schedule-related. Could be considered Schedule section. They mention "Flexible PTO", "Summer Fridays and Winter, Spring, and Fall Fridays too!", "Hybrid work model". Those are schedule/benefits. Could be placed under Benefits or Schedule. Since they said only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. They do mention flexible PTO, Fridays, hybrid work model. That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section. But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Perhaps combine Pay, Benefits, Schedule into one Benefits section? But the instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. It didn't forbid combining, but they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we should combine Pay, Benefits, Schedule into a single "Benefits and Compensation" section? But headings are prescribed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to omit some if not substantive. If we include Pay, Benefits, Schedule each as separate, that's three sections. Might be okay if each has substantive content. Let's extract content: About the role: Intro paragraph: "Senior Account Executive, Technology 5W is hiring a Senior Account Executive for our Technology practice. We're looking for someone with agency experience supporting tech clients: a strong pitcher and writer who knows how to turn a client announcement into real coverage, and who can manage multiple accounts at once. You'll work directly with clients every day, lead media outreach across your portfolio, and help shape the strategy behind it. It's a role with real ownership and room to grow, and it rewards people who take initiative." Responsibilities (What You'll Do): bullet list: - Media Relations & Storytelling - Craft compelling media materials from the ground up: press kits, press releases, media alerts, fact sheets, bios, case studies, and backgrounders - Develop proactive, creative pitch angles rooted in each client's industry, current trends, and news moments - Drive consistent, high-impact media results across your portfolio of clients - Build and nurture genuine relationships with influential tech journalists, editors, and industry voices to secure standout placements - Monitor the media landscape and identify speaking opportunities that position clients as experts in their field - Strategy & Client Leadership - Contribute to strategic communication plans, including media opportunities, tactics, and timelines - Serve as a daily point of contact for clients, updating, reporting, and advising on media relations - Bring sharp strategic and creative thinking to brainstorms that shape client programs - Provide strong guidance and mentorship to junior team members - Take on additional research, projects, and opportunities as they arise Requirements (What You Bring): bullet list: - 3–5 years of PR experience, with time spent supporting technology clients in an agency setting - A strong network of tech media contacts and a demonstrated ability to land coverage - Excellent writing, pitching, and presentation skills - Superior account and time management skills, with the ability to juggle competing deadlines - An entrepreneurial spirit and a genuine curiosity about the tech industry Benefits (Why You'll Love Working Here): list: - Competitive salary with comprehensive benefits & wellness programs including partnership with ClassPass! - Flexible PTO - Summer Fridays and Winter, Spring, and Fall Fridays too! - Hybrid work model offering flexibility and work-life balance - Expanded parental leave and family planning support - Continuous learning through “5W University” and development initiatives - Student Loan Reimbursement - Professional Development Support - Exclusive access to season tickets for pro sports teams along with Broadway shows, and more! - Charitable giving, including matching donations Pay: maybe we extract "Competitive salary" as Pay section. But that's already in Benefits list. Could move to Pay section and keep Benefits for other benefits. However the Benefits list includes "Competitive salary with comprehensive benefits & wellness programs including partnership with ClassPass!" So if we separate Pay, we might duplicate. Better to keep Benefits section inclusive of salary and other benefits. Pay section maybe redundant. Since they said prefer few substantive sections, we can omit Pay and Schedule sections and put schedule info under Benefits. Schedule: flexible PTO, Fridays, hybrid work model. Those are schedule/benefits. Could be under Benefits. Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. We need to use

    for each heading. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

      for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's craft HTML:

      About the role

      Senior Account Executive, Technology 5W is hiring a Senior Account Executive for our Technology practice. We're looking for someone with agency experience supporting tech clients: a strong pitcher and writer who knows how to turn a client announcement into real coverage, and who can manage multiple accounts at once. You'll work directly with clients every day, lead media outreach across your portfolio, and help shape the strategy behind it. It's a role with real ownership and room to grow, and it rewards people who take initiative.

      Responsibilities

      • Media Relations & Storytelling
        • Craft compelling media materials from the ground up: press kits, press releases, media alerts, fact sheets, bios, case studies, and backgrounders
        • Develop proactive, creative pitch angles rooted in each client's industry, current trends, and news moments
        • Drive consistent, high-impact media results across your portfolio of clients
        • Build and nurture genuine relationships with influential tech journalists, editors, and industry voices to secure standout placements
        • Monitor the media landscape and identify speaking opportunities that position clients as experts in their field
      • Strategy & Client Leadership
        • Contribute to strategic communication plans, including media opportunities, tactics, and timelines
        • Serve as a daily point of contact for clients, updating, reporting, and advising on media relations
        • Bring sharp strategic and creative thinking to brainstorms that shape client programs
        • Provide strong guidance and mentorship to junior team members
        • Take on additional research, projects, and opportunities as they arise
      But note: we used nested
      • . The instruction: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists. Could be okay. However we could flatten: each bullet as a line, with headings inside

          ? But better to keep structure. Alternatively we could have two separate

            sections each preceded by a

            heading? But they said use

            for section headings only. So inside Responsibilities we can have

            Media Relations & Storytelling

            then
              ... but that adds extra headings not

              . Might be okay but not required. Simplify: Provide a flat list of responsibilities, each as
            • with the description. Could include the subheadings as part of the text. Let's do:

              Responsibilities

              • Media Relations & Storytelling: Craft compelling media materials from the ground up (press kits, press releases, media alerts, fact sheets, bios, case studies, backgrounders); develop proactive, creative pitch angles rooted in each client's industry, current trends, and news moments; drive consistent, high-impact media results across your portfolio; build and nurture genuine relationships with influential tech journalists, editors, and industry voices; monitor the media landscape and identify speaking opportunities that position clients as experts.

              That preserves details. Similarly Requirements:
