We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Need to parse the posting. Content: Intro about Empowered, role description. Then "How You Will Contribute" with subpoints: Develop Talent & Drive Strategy (list of bullet points), Develop Talent & Drive Strategy bullet points), Develop & Advance Strategic Partnerships (list), Contribute to Education Operations Leadership (list). Then "What You Will Bring" (list of requirements). Then "Standout Candidates Will Bring" (list). Then "What We Offer" (list of benefits). Then "Our Values" (some prose). Then "Compensation" details: anticipated base salary range $70,000–$100,000 per year, bonus compensation, etc. Also location: based in Wichita, Kansas. We need to map sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (the "How You Will Contribute" sections). Requirements (maybe "What You Will Bring" and "Standout Candidates Will Bring"? Could combine). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? But we should not duplicate. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have About the role: intro paragraph. Responsibilities: the bullet lists under "How You Will Contribute". Could be separate subheadings? But we only have one heading for Responsibilities; we can put all responsibility bullets under that. Requirements: "What You Will Bring" list. Qualifications: maybe "Standout Candidates Will Bring" could be Qualifications or Skills? Could treat as Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Or Skills: maybe we can put skills under Skills heading. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications; we need to decide. We have "What You Will Bring" (required experience). That's Requirements. "Standout Candidates Will Bring" could be Qualifications (preferred). Or Skills. We also have "What We Offer" which includes benefits and compensation. Benefits: competitive benefits list (401k match, flexible time off, health/dental, wellness, mental health). Pay: anticipated base salary range $70k–$100k, bonus compensation. Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section if not present. Skills: maybe we can extract skills from requirements: strong strategic judgment, ability to operate in ambiguity, strong written/verbal communication, etc. Could put under Skills. But we need to avoid filler sections. If we include Skills, we need actual content. Let's structure:

About the role

Empowered is a community of social entrepreneur teachers... (intro paragraph up to "This role is based in Wichita, Kansas.") We'll include that as prose.

Responsibilities

  • Develop Talent & Drive Strategy: develop individual team members through coaching, feedback, apprenticeship, and stretch opportunities that strengthen judgment, strategic thinking, and ownership; build a high-performing Partnerships team by aligning talent to where individuals can create the most value, setting clear expectations and decision rights, and holding a high bar for contribution; drive execution of the Partnerships vision, strategy, and priorities while building the business and market knowledge needed to evolve the capability and improve results; translate organizational priorities into focused partnership strategies, using data, experimentation, and learning to prioritize where Partnerships can create the greatest value.
  • Develop & Advance Strategic Partnerships: personally manage a portfolio of strategic partnerships and contribute to other partnership opportunities where your experience and perspective can add value; develop partnerships grounded in clear mutual value and organizational priorities; evaluate opportunities and make sound decisions about when to advance, deprioritize, or decline them; bring knowledge from partners and the market back into Empowered to inform strategy, products, and new opportunities.
  • Contribute to Education Operations Leadership: serve as an active member of Education Operations leadership, contributing to the success of the broader business unit—not only Partnerships; bring a clear point of view, challenge assumptions, and help turn ambiguity into priorities and action; identify opportunities for Education Operations capabilities to work together to create greater value for educators.
But we might want to break each bullet into sub-items? The instruction: use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have top-level list items for each major responsibility, and within each we can have sub-lists? Could embed
    • inside? Probably okay but we need to keep simple. Could just have each responsibility as a
    • with semicolons. Alternatively we could split each bullet into separate
    • for each action. That would be more granular. Let's do that: each action as separate
    • . That will be many
    • but okay. Responsibilities list: - Develop individual team members through coaching, feedback, apprenticeship, and stretch opportunities that strengthen judgment, strategic thinking, and ownership. - Build a high-performing Partnerships team by aligning talent to where individuals can create the most value, setting clear expectations and decision rights, and holding a high bar for contribution. - Drive execution of the Partnerships vision, strategy, and priorities while building the business and market knowledge needed to evolve the capability and improve results. - Translate organizational priorities into focused partnership strategies, using data, experimentation, and learning to prioritize where Partnerships can create the greatest value. - Personally manage a portfolio of strategic partnerships and contribute to other partnership opportunities where your experience and perspective can add value. - Develop partnerships grounded in clear mutual value and organizational priorities. - Evaluate opportunities and make sound decisions about when to advance, deprioritize, or decline them. - Bring knowledge from partners and the market back into Empowered to inform strategy, products, and new opportunities. - Serve as an active member of Education Operations leadership, contributing to the success of the broader business unit—not only Partnerships. - Bring a clear point of view, challenge assumptions, and help turn ambiguity into priorities and action. - Identify opportunities for Education Operations capabilities to work together to create greater value for educators. That covers all. Now Requirements: "What You Will Bring" list: - 3+ years of experience developing talent, with a track record of strengthening the judgment, capabilities, and independence of direct reports. - 2+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, external relations, or a similar relationship-driven function. - Strong strategic judgment, with experience translating organizational priorities into strategy, decisions, and results. - Experience building and managing complex relationships, influencing senior stakeholders, and negotiating toward mutually beneficial outcomes. - Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity, exercise sound judgment, collaborate across teams, and move work forward. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders across teams and levels of an organization. - Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect. Now Qualifications: "Standout Candidates Will Bring" list: - Experience with Principle Based Management (PBM), including applying concepts such as decision rights, comparative advantage, opportunity cost, and knowledge seeking. - Experience building or evolving a partnerships capability, portfolio, or strategy. - Experience working in education or a mission-driven organization. Now Skills: maybe we can extract skills from requirements: strong strategic judgment, ability to operate in ambiguity, strong written/verbal communication, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Could we put Skills separate? Might be redundant. Perhaps we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are prescribed; we can include both if we have content. We could treat "What You Will Bring" as Requirements, and "Standout Candidates Will Bring" as Qualifications. Skills could be derived from the same lists but we might not need separate Skills section if no distinct skill list beyond those. However we could create a Skills section listing: strategic judgment, talent development, partnership management, stakeholder influence, ambiguity navigation, communication, etc. But that would be duplicative. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we skip Skills section if it would be thin. But we have content for Skills? Could list: strategic judgment, talent development, partnership building, stakeholder influence, communication, ambiguity navigation. That's substantive enough. But we already have those in Requirements; but we could still include Skills as a separate section summarizing skills. However that might be considered repeating content. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we create Skills section, we need to ensure we are not omitting any detail from Requirements/Qualifications. We could keep Requirements and Qualifications as is, and not add Skills. That seems fine. Benefits: "What We Offer" includes competitive benefits list. We'll create Benefits section with those items. Pay: compensation details: anticipated base salary range $70,000–$100,000 per year, bonus compensation, etc. We'll create Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Also we have location: based in Wichita, Kansas. Could be included in About the role paragraph or as a separate line. We'll embed in About the role. Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, AI tools, etc. Remove those paragraphs. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:
