Aftermarket Purchasing Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: company profile maybe part of About the role? The posting includes "Company Profile" then "Position Purpose". We need to preserve substantive info. We need to decide sections. We have content: - Company Profile: description of JCB. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role description. But we have "Position Purpose" which describes responsibilities. Could map to "Responsibilities". Also "Major Tasks, Responsibilities & Key Accountabilities" is responsibilities. - "Benefits And Other Compensation" gives benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid time off, paid holidays. So Benefits section. - "Position Type Full Time, Exempt Location On-site in San Antonio, Texas" gives schedule? It says Full Time, Exempt, On-site. Could be Schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe "Schedule" section if we have info about work schedule: Full Time, On-site. Could include that. The instruction: include Pay/Schedule/Benefits only if posting actually states them. We have schedule info: Full Time, Exempt, On-site. So we can include Schedule section. - Pay: not mentioned. So omit Pay. - Qualifications: "Minimum Qualifications" includes BS Engineering or BA Business, 5+ years purchasing experience, must pass drug screens etc. That's qualifications. - Skills: "Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Competencies" includes many items. That's skills. - Responsibilities: "Major Tasks, Responsibilities & Key Accountabilities" list. - About the role: Could combine Company Profile and Position Purpose? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role (maybe company profile + position purpose). We have Responsibilities. We have Qualifications. We have Skills. We have Benefits. We have Schedule. No Requirements separate? Could treat Requirements as same as Qualifications? But we have both Qualifications and Skills; Requirements maybe not needed. We'll not include Requirements if no distinct content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not add a heading for the job title. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

for each section heading. Under each, use

for prose,

• for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the sections. Let's extract content. Company Profile: "With over 80 years of innovation, JCB is the world’s largest privately owned manufacturer of construction and agricultural equipment. Operating 23 manufacturing facilities across four continents—including the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and Brazil—JCB produces a diverse portfolio of more than 300 products. These include telescopic handlers, backhoe loaders, excavators, wheel loaders, compact excavators, skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, access aerial work platforms, rough terrain forklifts, and tractors. At the heart of JCB’s success are its people. As a family-owned business, we are accountable to our customers—not shareholders—which gives us the flexibility to focus on long-term innovation and delivering real value. This independence allows us to continuously develop advanced technologies and integrate them into equipment designed to perform in the toughest environments while maximizing customer productivity. At JCB, we stand behind our products—and our name—with pride and commitment to quality." Position Purpose: "Reporting to the General Manager, Parts Operation, this position is responsible for the approval of domestic sources, managing the purchasing team, achieving team cost savings, KPI monitoring and reporting, and the timely purchase of quality materials per the engineering specification within the specified parameters." We could combine these under About the role. Responsibilities (Major Tasks, Responsibilities & Key Accountabilities): list items: - Manage team of Operational Buyers and the Government and Defense / Attachment Buyer. - Monitor team KPI's - Generate weekly reports - Work with Group Purchasing to support JCB Service - Includes pricing, lead times, MOQ’s, and key purchasing responsibilities - Negotiate NA domestic pricing and process / approve price change requests - Actively pursue cost savings opportunities to meet team / group purchasing goals - Create new schedule agreements - Investigate invoice issues and work with suppliers to resolve - Set up new vendors and extend part numbers in SAP - Process Techwebs as required - Work closely with planning team to troubleshoot / address any supplier challenges - Work with NPI team to ensure JCB Service is included in the process and ready for launch of new product - Vendor evaluation (on site reviews) - Other duties as assigned We need to preserve each bullet. Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications): "BS Engineering or BA Business", "5 + years purchasing experience", "Must pass any drug screens, background checks, and any pre-employment tests, which will be conducted in accordance with applicable law." Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Competencies: list items: - Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel: Advanced Level) applications and ERP Purchasing system (preferably SAP) - Demonstrated ability to delegate and manage tasks issued to independent reports such as suppliers and cross functional team members - Knowledge of product costing, accounting in a component of manufacturing environment, and commodity pricing and foreign currencies - Effective verbal and written communication skills with all levels of management - Skilled in project management, reporting and presenting information, and statistical analysis - Practiced in negotiations and conflict resolution - Ability to read and interpret bill of materials, engineering drawings, standards and specifications - Experience with the product development and NPI process from ‘Concept’ to ‘Production Release’ (ISIR/PPAP) - Knowledge of product costing, accounting, commodity pricing, and foreign currencies (duplicate? appears twice) - Knowledge of international trade requirements for importing and exporting products, INCO terms - Understanding of implications and challenges related to domestic and international sourcing - Experience with standard practices, legal requirements and international purchasing terms and conditions - Autonomous and entrepreneurial work ethic - Knowledge of supply chain, materials management, and road/ocean freight Note there is duplicate "Knowledge of product costing, accounting, commodity pricing, and foreign currencies". We should keep as is? We should not invent or summarize away detail, but we could keep both? It's duplicate in source; we could keep both but maybe we should keep as is. However we could note it's duplicate but we should preserve all substantive information; removing duplicate might be considered summarizing away detail? It's not substantive new info; but removing duplicate could be considered omitting redundant info, which might be okay? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Removing a duplicate line could be considered summarizing away detail (though it's redundant). Safer to keep both? But that seems odd. I'd keep one instance; but to be safe, I'll include both as they appear. Benefits: "JCB offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401 (k) retirement plan; paid time off and paid holidays." Schedule: "Position Type Full Time, Exempt Location On-site in San Antonio, Texas". Could phrase as "Full Time, Exempt, On-site in San Antonio, Texas". We'll put in

  . We should not include Application Process, EEO, etc. Now construct HTML. We'll have sections:

  About the role

  Company Profile + Position Purpose combined? We'll put two paragraphs maybe. Better:
