for each section. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: the last sentence about job description intended to provide overview... we should drop that as boilerplate? It's generic but maybe considered boilerplate. It says "This job description is intended to provide a general overview...". Likely remove. Also "New York Pay Range ..." we keep as Pay section.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points.
Let's parse content:
Intro paragraph: "We are seeking an experienced procurement professional to join our Procurement team as an “Associate Strategy Manager”. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and executing sourcing strategies to improve our cost structure, the quality of our products, the reliability of our supply chain, and will play a leading role in supporting innovation through new product development."
That's prose for About the role.
Then: "You will have key responsibilities over SKU ideation and onboarding, vendor selection and relationships, price negotiations and contract management, budgetary planning and continuously improving our end-to-end sourcing process. You will also serve as a liaison for both the strategy and operations teams. You will be supporting external strategic partnerships while strengthening our operational excellence. You will be the process owner for inventory outlook, risk analyses, and waste mitigation. You will partner closely with key cross-functional teams including Procurement Operations, Menu Planning, Product Validation, and Finance.

These are responsibilities. Many are run-on sentences without punctuation. We need to split into list items. Probably each sentence separated by period. We'll create

These are qualifications/experience. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll decide: Requirements = experience/education; Qualifications = maybe skills? But we already have Skills for traits. Let's map:

That is covered by some items. We may need to include those as separate items: SKU ideation and onboarding, vendor selection and relationships, price negotiations and contract management, budgetary planning, continuously improving end-to-end sourcing process. We have some overlapping items. Let's incorporate.
We'll create a comprehensive list merging all.
Let's extract all distinct responsibilities from the text:

We'll list these as - .
Now Skills: traits list.
