VP, Technology Partnerships
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. The posting includes: description about company, role description, responsibilities, requirements, etc. It includes Base Salary Range. No explicit Benefits, Schedule. So we should include sections: About the role (maybe from intro), Responsibilities (Job Requirements & Core Responsibilities), Requirements (Profile of the Ideal Candidate, Required Skills and Experience), maybe Skills (but could be combined with Requirements). We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (intro), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Skills (maybe list of required skills), Pay (base salary range). Benefits and Schedule not present, so omit. Also Qualifications maybe similar to Requirements; but we can include Qualifications if content. The posting includes "Profile of the Ideal Candidate", "Required Skills and Experience", "Preferred Experience". Could treat as Requirements and Qualifications. We'll include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: DEIB, fraud disclaimer, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, etc. So we will strip those paragraphs.

Then "Base Salary Range:: $271,000 USD - $366,000 USD". Note double colon; we will keep as is.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (list from Job Requirements & Core Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe combine Required Skills and Experience + Profile of Ideal Candidate?), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Experience?), Skills (maybe list of skills from Required Skills and Experience?), Pay (salary). But we must not create thin sections; better to combine related content.
We have headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can map:
- About the role: company overview + role overview (the initial paragraphs up to "Insight on Your Impact" maybe).
- Responsibilities: the bullet list under Job Requirements & Core Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Required Skills and Experience (maybe also Profile of Ideal Candidate? but that's more about candidate traits). Could put Profile of Ideal Candidate under Requirements.
- Qualifications: Preferred Experience.
- Skills: maybe we could list specific skills from Required Skills and Experience? But that duplicates. Could instead put Skills as a list of technical acumen etc. But we already have Required Skills and Experience as Requirements. Might be okay to have Requirements and Skills both; but we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we combine Required Skills and Experience into Skills section, and Requirements into Requirements (including Profile). Let's think.
The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use any of those. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have content for About the role (yes). Responsibilities (yes). Requirements (we have Profile of Ideal Candidate and Required Skills and Experience). Qualifications (we have Preferred Experience). Skills (maybe we could extract specific skills like "Tech Ecosystem Leadership", "Partner Apps & Platform Extensibility", etc. But those are more like experience areas. Could treat them as Skills. But then Requirements would be something else? Hmm.
Maybe better: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (combining Required Skills and Experience + Profile), Qualifications (Preferred Experience), Pay (salary). Omit Skills because we already covered skills in Requirements. But we need to use headings from list; we can omit Skills if not needed. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can skip Skills.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay.
Check if we have Benefits or Schedule: none, so omit.
Now we need
