The Campbell's Company · Camden, NJ · 1 mo ago
Analyst$61k–$84k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of company, mission, etc. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (the description of role), "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes: "Why Campbell’s… Benefits begin on day one..." that's benefits. Also "Compensation And Benefits" includes salary range and benefits. So we can have Benefits and Pay sections. Also responsibilities: there is "What You Will Do..." with sub-bullets. Also "Who You Will Work With..." maybe not needed. Also "What You Bring To The Table (must Haves)..." and "It would be great if you have (nice to haves)..." These are qualifications/requirements/skills. We need to map. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove navigation etc. The posting includes a lot of company intro; we can include as maybe "About the role" or maybe not needed? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We can combine. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can format them. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (company overview and role purpose), "Responsibilities" (What You Will Do...), "Requirements" (must haves), "Preferred Qualifications" (nice to haves), "Benefits", "Pay". Possibly "Schedule" not present (no schedule details). So omit Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content. Company intro: "Since 1869, we've connected people through food they love. We’re proud to be stewards of amazing brands that people trust. Our portfolio includes the iconic Campbell’s brand, as well as Cape Cod, Chunky, Goldfish, Kettle Brand, Lance, Late July, Pacific Foods, Pepperidge Farm, Prego, Pace, Rao’s Homemade, Snack Factory, Snyder’s of Hanover. Swanson, and V8. Here, you will make a difference every day. You will be supported to build a rewarding career with opportunities to grow, innovate and inspire. Make history with us." That's about the company and role context. Could be under "About the role". We'll put that as prose

    . Then "Why Campbell’s… Benefits begin on day one and include medical, dental, short and long-term disability, AD&D, and life insurance (for individual, families, and domestic partners).Employees are eligible for our matching 401(k) plan and can enroll on the first day of employment with immediate vesting.Campbell’s offers unlimited sick time along with paid time off and holiday pay.If in WHQ – free access to the fitness center. Access to on-site day care (operated by Bright Horizons) and company store.Giving back to the communities where our employees work and live is very important to Campbell’s. Our “Campbell’s Cares” program matches employee donations and/or volunteer activity up to $1,500 annually.Campbell’s has a variety of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to support employees." That's benefits. We'll put under Benefits. Then "How You Will Make History Here... We are seeking an Associate Scientist, R&D - Snacks Bakery to join our Snacks Research & Development team. With support and oversight, this role develops and executes product development solutions for bakery projects, ensuring feasibility and compliance with company standards. The position supports projects across bakery categories, with a primary focus on bread, buns, rolls, and related baked products. The scope includes supporting the product development process from idea conception through plant commercialization. The Associate Scientist supports benchtop development, pilot plant work, plant trials, start-ups, and ad hoc technical needs. The individual may also work in a laboratory setting using applicable analytical testing equipment. This role completes routine testing and evaluation tasks, assists with research, gathers and analyzes data, and reports findings for simple assignments and clearly defined project segments. Work is completed under close supervision using established processes, protocols, and safe work practices." That's role description; could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. We'll treat as "About the role" maybe combined with company intro. But we already have company intro; we can add this as more detail under About the role. Then "What You Will Do..." with bullet points. We need to extract bullet list items: - Product Development Support - Support Product Development Scientists with product ideation, benchtop prototyping, product feasibility testing, pilot plant work, plant trials, start-ups, productivity programs, quality programs, and business continuity initiatives. - Assist with the development, assessment, and validation of bakery formulations from benchtop through commercialization with guidance and coaching from R&D management and senior technical team members. - Complete assigned tasks or clearly defined project segments across innovation, renovation, cost savings, quality improvement, alternate ingredient qualification, and continuity of supply projects. - Prepare product samples and support sensory, analytical, and product evaluations. - Bakery Science & Technical Execution - Apply foundational knowledge of food science, bakery ingredients, formulation, experimental design, and processing principles to routine development work. - Execute established test methods and protocols; accurately collect, organize, and summarize technical data. - Use basic problem-solving skills and scientific principles to interpret results, identify potential causes of product or process issues, and recommend next steps with guidance. - Conduct and maintain quality and analytical testing data for the Product Development team as needed. - Work safely with food ingredients, allergens, laboratory equipment, and processing equipment while using required personal protective equipment. - Commercialization & Documentation - Support pilot plant and manufacturing trials by completing assigned technical tasks and coordinating samples, testing, and data collection. - Maintain accurate and timely pre-trial and post-trial documentation and communications for the cross-functional team. - Maintain formulas, test plans, results, conclusions, and other project records in the electronic laboratory notebook and applicable systems. - Complete assigned commercialization activities with guidance and communicate potential risks or issues to the project lead in a timely manner. - Cross-Functional Collaboration - Work effectively with internal partners, including Marketing, Quality Assurance, Process Development, Packaging Development, Finance, Operations, Procurement, Regulatory, and Supply Chain. - Communicate work status, observations, results, and technical information clearly in written and verbal formats. - Collaborate with suppliers, co-manufacturers, and other external partners to build knowledge and support project needs. - Contribute positively to a collaborative team environment; this role has no formal supervisory responsibilities. - Work Planning, Safety & Organization - Plan and organize assigned tasks to meet project timing, checking in regularly for direction and feedback. - Adapt effectively to changing priorities while managing multiple assigned tasks in a team environment. - Maintain a clean, organized, and safe benchtop and laboratory workspace. We need to preserve all details. We'll put these under Responsibilities as a

      with
    • items; each bullet may contain sub-bullets? The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep each top-level bullet as
      • and include the sub-points as part of the same
      • text (maybe using
        or just sentences). Simpler: each top-level bullet as
      • containing the sentences. Now "Who You Will Work With..." maybe not needed as separate section; could be omitted or could not include. It's not a standard heading; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities. Probably we can omit as not required. Then "What You Bring To The Table (must Haves)..." list: - Bachelor’s degree in Food Science, Bakery Science, Engineering, or a related scientific field from an accredited institution. - 6 months of related experience in food product development or a consumer-packaged goods environment; relevant internship or co-op experience may be included. We'll put under Requirements. Then "It would be great if you have (nice to haves)..." list: - Foundational knowledge of food science, product development, experimental design, and data collection and analysis. - Excellent attention to detail, analytical and problem-solving skills, initiative, adaptability, and the ability to work effectively with guidance in a team environment. - Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to manage multiple assigned tasks and priorities. - Ability to handle food ingredients and allergens, including dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, and eggs, while wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications. - Ability to lift up to 40 lbs. - Ability to travel up to 35% of the time. - Internship, co-op, academic, or industry experience in bakery or food product development. - Hands-on experience with benchtop development, laboratory testing, pilot plant work, sensory evaluation, or manufacturing trials. - Experience using formulas, data analysis, and graphing applications in Microsoft Office. - Exposure to bread, buns, rolls, or related baked product formulation and processing. We'll put under Preferred Qualifications (or Skills). Could be Skills section. Then "Compensation And Benefits" includes salary range and benefits again. We already have Benefits section; we might combine. But we need to avoid duplication. The Benefits section already listed many benefits; the Compensation And Benefits repeats some benefits (health, dental, 401k and wellness benefits). We can merge: keep Benefits section with the detailed list from earlier; add salary range under Pay section. Thus we will have: - About the role (company intro + role purpose) - Responsibilities (What You Will Do... bullet list) - Requirements (must haves) - Preferred Qualifications (nice to haves) - Benefits (detailed benefits) - Pay (salary range) We must not include Schedule. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO statement at end. Remove that. Now produce HTML fragment. We'll need to wrap sections in

        headings. Example:

        About the role

        Since 1869, we've connected people through food they love. ... Make history with us.

        Then Responsibilities:

Complete assigned tasks or clearly defined project segments across innovation, renovation, cost savings, quality improvement, alternate ingredient qualification, and continuity of supply projects. Prepare product samples and support sensory, analytical, and product evaluations.
        • ... etc. We need to ensure each
        • contains the text; we can include line breaks but not necessary. Now Requirements:

          Requirements
