Senior Director, Business Development & Strategic Partnerships

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when there is real specific content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections based on content. Let's parse the posting. We have "Who We Are" description: Applied Materials is global leader... That's about company, not role. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about company. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading for role summary. The "Who We Are" could be part of "About the role"? Or maybe we can include a section "About the role" that includes the role summary and maybe company description? 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. So we can include a short paragraph for metadata like location, time type, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. We have Pay: Salary: $184,000.00 - $253,000.00. So we can create a Pay section with that. We have Benefits: mention "We’re committed to providing programs and support that encourage personal and professional growth and care for you at work, at home, or wherever you may go. Learn more about our benefits." Also earlier: "In addition to a comprehensive benefits package, candidates may be eligible for other forms of compensation such as participation in a bonus and a stock award program, as applicable." So we have benefits content. So we can create Benefits section. Schedule: Not explicitly stated. There's "Time Type: Full time". That's schedule? Could be considered schedule but not explicit hours. The instruction: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state "Time Type: Full time". That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section with "Full time". However we need to see if that's considered schedule. Probably yes. But we need to avoid filler. It's specific: Full time. So we can include. We also have Location: Austin,TX, Covington,GA, Santa Clara,CA. That's location metadata; could be placed in a short

maybe under About the role or separate? The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with location and maybe time type. We have "Additional Information" includes Time Type, Employee Type, Travel, Relocation Eligible. That's metadata. We need to include sections: About the role (role summary), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (Required Knowledge And Experience), Qualifications? Might be overlapping with Requirements. The posting has "Required Knowledge And Experience" and "Core Competencies". Those could be Requirements and Skills. Qualifications maybe not separate. We could treat "Required Knowledge And Experience" as Requirements, and "Core Competencies" as Skills. Qualifications maybe not present; we could omit Qualifications section if no specific content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So we should not create Qualifications if not present. We have "Benefits" we already have. We have "Pay" we have salary. We have "Schedule" we have full time. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

About the role

Owns Applied's equipment peer partnership portfolio end to end — identification, structuring, execution, and monetization. Partners across the Technology Pathfinding team to convert emerging technology directions into structured business and technology Joint Development Agreements (JDAs) and strategic alliances, and drives measurable revenue growth through those relationships. Accountable for partnership strategy, deal architecture, relationship health, and the metrics of success.

Maybe also include company description? Could be part of About the role? But "Who We Are" is about company. Might be better to include a short paragraph about company under About the role? The instruction: About the role heading for role summary. The company description could be considered part of "About the role" but it's not role-specific. However we could include it as a paragraph under About the role to preserve all substantive info. It's not boilerplate. So we can include it. Thus About the role section includes both company description and role summary. Next Responsibilities: we have bullet list under Key Responsibilities with subheadings: Equipment Peer Partnerships, JDA and Deal Structuring with Technology Pathfinding, Revenue Growth and Commercial Ownership, Relationship Ownership, Metrics, and Governance. Each has multiple sentences. We need to output

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make each responsibility as a
• . Could also keep subheadings inside li? Probably just plain text. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet's content. Let's extract: Equipment Peer Partnerships: - Own the full lifecycle of key equipment peer partnerships: target identification, engagement strategy, negotiation, launch, and ongoing governance. - Serve as the single accountable owner and senior point of contact for each named partnership, internally and externally. - Map the partner landscape against Applied's technology roadmap gaps and determine which relationships to pursue, sustain, or exit. JDA and Deal Structuring with Technology Pathfinding: - Work across Technology Pathfinding to translate pathfinding programs and device architecture needs into structured business and technology JDAs. - Architect commercial and technical terms — scope, milestones, IP, cost sharing, exclusivity, and exit — in partnership with Legal, Finance, IP, and the business units. - Drive cross-functional alignment from concept to signature, then transition executed agreements into disciplined program governance. Revenue Growth and Commercial Ownership: - Drive revenue growth through the partnership portfolio, building the business case, pricing/value model, and monetization path for each relationship. - Manage the partnership portfolio like a product: business plan, positioning, market requirements, and go-to-market plan integrated with Applied's product strategy. - Identify and qualify new revenue opportunities from market, competitive, and customer analysis, and convert them into funded partnership initiatives. Relationship Ownership, Metrics, and Governance: - Own all aspects of assigned relationships, including executive cadence, escalation, joint roadmap reviews, and partner satisfaction. - Define, baseline, and report the metrics of success for each partnership; own the partnership scorecard and quarterly business reviews. - Provide a consolidated view of partnership health, risk, and value capture to Applied senior leadership. We'll put each as
• . Next Requirements: Required Knowledge And Experience paragraph. It's a paragraph with multiple sentences. We'll output as

  under Requirements heading. But also there is "Core Competencies" list. That could be Skills section. Thus:

  We need to preserve the exact wording; some items have colons etc. Keep as is. Now Benefits: we have content: "We’re committed to providing programs and support that encourage personal and professional growth and care for you at work, at home, or wherever you may go. Learn more about our benefits." Also "In addition to a comprehensive benefits package, candidates may be eligible for other forms of compensation such as participation in a bonus and a stock award program, as applicable." We'll combine. Thus:

  maybe under About the role or separate? The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. We could add a paragraph after About the role maybe. Let's add a

  with location and other details. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed. Now ensure we only output HTML fragment. Let's craft final HTML:
