Senior Contracts Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. So we need to extract:
- About the role: maybe the description of role impact? The posting includes "YOUR IMPACT" and description of role. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Let's parse.
Content:
OpenText - The Information Company OpenText is a global leader... (company description). Then "As a member of our team..." etc. Then "AI-First..." etc. Then "Join us." Then "As the Information Company..." etc. Then "YOUR IMPACT OpenText is seeking a commercial Sr. Contracts Manager to join our in-house legal team performing commercial transactional for an established but growing line of business.

Use of AI and the ability to support a business leaning heavily into this field is also an important part of this position."
Then "What The Role Offers" list bullet points: Working effectively and pragmatically in a fast-paced environment; Managing multiple responsibilities while understanding the complexities of a multi-faceted business; Reviewing and negotiating a wide variety of commercial agreements, extra credit for software & SaaS; Communicating complex matters clearly and solving problems practically; Building positive working relationships with teammates, subject matter experts, internal clients and clients; Providing high quality, practical support to business; Working with systems and processes; Triage and prioritization.

Then "ONE LAST THING" about culture, values, etc. That's boilerplate maybe but includes values. Might be considered "About the company" but we can include as a short paragraph maybe under "About the role"? But we should avoid EEO boilerplate etc. The "ONE LAST THING" includes culture statements, not EEO. It's okay to keep as a paragraph maybe under "About the role" or separate section "Company Culture". But only allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could map:
- About the role: company description + role impact? Could be.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list under "What The Role Offers" (these are actually what the role offers? Actually they are responsibilities? The heading "What The Role Offers" maybe describes what you will do? It's more like responsibilities. We'll treat as Responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe the list under "What You Need To Succeed" includes both qualifications and skills. We could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (specific abilities). But we can also just put all under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (combining qualifications and skills). Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if present. Benefits: there is a mention of benefits package but no specifics; they say "A summary of those benefits can be found on our Why Join Us page." No concrete benefits listed, so we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay: they have Salary Range: $116,200-174,200 ; plus note about variable etc. That's specific pay info, so we should include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. The "ONE LAST THING" includes culture statements; is that substantive? It's about company values, could be part of About the role. We'll include that as part of About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "commercial Sr. Contracts Manager". We'll not use as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:

We need to ensure we used & for ampersand inside HTML. Also ensure no stray markdown. Check for any boilerplate left: We removed EEO statement, accommodation contact, AI usage disclosure, etc. Also removed "Compensation: At OpenText, we offer a thoughtfully designed benefits package..." because we didn't include Benefits section. We kept Pay section with salary range and note about variable/commission. The original also had "As you move through the hiring process, we’re happy to provide more details about our compensation programs, including variable and commission compensation opportunities for eligible roles, vacation entitlement, and paid time off." We included variable and commission mention but not vacation/PTO because that's benefits; we omitted as not specific. Could include variable and commission in Pay. Good. Check for duplication: none. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading: we didn't. Check that we didn't include Job ID/requisition numbers:
