Cisco · Durham, NC · 1 mo ago
Analyst$44k–$185k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes sections: "Meet The Team At Cisco", "Your Impact Role", "Minimum Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Why Cisco?" plus pay and benefits details. Need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must map content accordingly.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: first line "Please note this posting is to advertise potential job opportunities..." that's boilerplate; also "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:" maybe part of pay/benefits but we can keep pay details. Also "U.S. employees are offered benefits..." etc.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's extract:
- About the role / Team: "Meet The Team At Cisco, we are building the future of global connectivity. As part of Global Procurement Services (GPS), you are the engine behind our success. We manage the essential goods, services, and technology that keep Cisco running and innovating. We focus on the sourcing of non-product-related goods and services (e.g., software licenses, consulting, travel) vital to the internal health of the business. You’ll join a team that values curiosity, continuous learning, and an AI-first mindset."
- Your Impact Role: description of incubation program, cohort, projects, etc. Could be considered Responsibilities? Actually responsibilities: "As a Business Analyst, you will turn complex data into strategic insights. You may: Partner with Strategic Sourcing Managers: Analyze spend information, manage risk, and/or track supplier performance. Drive automation: Transform manual, legacy processes into streamlined digital workflows to increase productivity. Report on risk and sustainability: Ensure integrity by supporting sustainability and risk reporting across our supplier ecosystem. Track performance: Use data analytics to track the performance and ROI of our most critical partnerships."
- Minimum Qualifications: list bullet points.
- Preferred Qualifications: bullet.
- Why Cisco?: paragraph about company.
- Pay: salary ranges listed: New York City Metro Area $44,000.00 - $185,000.00; Non-Metro New York State & Washington State $44,000.00 - $185,000.00. Also note about quota-based sales roles etc. But this is not a sales role? It's Business Analyst internship. However pay info still present. We'll include Pay section with those ranges.
- Benefits: details about medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid parental leave, disability, life insurance, stock units, paid time off details, holidays, vacation, sick time, volunteer days, bonuses. That's substantive.
- Schedule: not mentioned; maybe internship schedule? Not given. So we omit Schedule.
- Skills: maybe not explicit; but we could embed in Preferred Qualifications (AI, Excel, Power BI). Could create Skills section but we already have Preferred Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings like Skills if content exists. We have Preferred Qualifications which includes skills. Could make a Skills section with those. But we must not create thin sections; better to keep Preferred Qualifications as is.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must map content accordingly.

We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
Let's craft:
About the Team
maybe heading "About the role"? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings where appropriate. So we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay. We'll map content.
About the role: combine Meet The Team and Your Impact Role? Actually About the role could be description of role and team. We'll put the team description and impact role description under About the role.
Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties (Partner with Strategic Sourcing Managers, Drive automation, Report on risk and sustainability, Track performance).
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list.
Skills: maybe we could extract AI, Excel, Power BI as skills; but we already have Preferred Qualifications. Could still make Skills section with those. But to avoid thin, maybe we combine Preferred Qualifications into Qualifications and not have Skills. However instruction says we can use Skills heading if we have content. We have specific skills: Uses AI, Excel, and Power BI. That's a skill set. Could make Skills section with those three items.
Benefits: all benefits details.
Pay: salary ranges.
We must not include boilerplate like "Please note this posting is to advertise potential job opportunities." etc.
Let's extract precise text.
About the role: combine:
"Meet The Team At Cisco, we are building the future of global connectivity. As part of Global Procurement Services (GPS), you are the engine behind our success. We manage the essential goods, services, and technology that keep Cisco running and innovating.

You’ll join a team that values curiosity, continuous learning, and an AI-first mindset.
Your Impact Role This is more than a role; it’s an incubation program designed for the next generation of leaders. You’ll join a small cohort of other procurement interns chosen for their fresh perspectives and potential. We pair you with projects that match your unique strengths, giving you access to experienced leaders and a community of peers committed to your growth. This program has a proven track record turning early-career talent into high-impact professionals. As a Business Analyst, you will turn complex data into strategic insights."
We could keep as two paragraphs.

But we already have that in Preferred Qualifications. Could still make Skills section with those three.
Benefits: need to capture all benefits details:
"U.S. employees are offered benefits, subject to Cisco’s plan eligibility rules, which include medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability coverage, and basic life insurance.

For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay 0% up to 125% of target.

We need to keep that as prose; maybe break into paragraphs.
