Senior Manager, Sales Operations Strategy Enablement
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have overview (About the role). Responsibilities listed. Qualifications (Required/minimum qualifications and Additional Or Preferred Qualifications). Skills? Not explicit but could be derived from qualifications? Probably not; we should only include sections with real content. Pay is present: base pay range info. Benefits? Not explicit; only mention "Certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation." That's vague; not specific benefits. So we should not create Benefits section unless specific. Schedule? Not present. So sections: About the role (from Overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. Possibly also Skills? Not needed.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities we have many bullet-like sentences; we can turn each into
- . For qualifications we have required/minimum qualifications and additional/preferred qualifications; we can list as
- . For Pay we can put in
.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: equal opportunity, accommodation, etc. Also remove "This position will be open for a minimum of 5 days..." etc. Also remove "Find additional benefits and pay information here:" maybe keep pay info but not the link? The instruction: remove application instructions. The link is for benefits and pay info; could be considered application instruction? It's a link to benefits/pay info; maybe we keep pay info but drop the link? Safer to omit the link and just keep the pay range sentences. Also remove "Microsoft is an equal opportunity employer..." etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So keep overview text, responsibilities text, qualifications text, pay range.
