Buyer Bridal - Hybrid - 2-3 days in office per week

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: Intro paragraph: "From Aisle to Algorithm and for All Life’s Moments, at David’s Bridal, we empower our customers and our employees to stay true to their dreams and find the one, whether that means the event or the wedding dress that matches a personal style—or the career that is a perfect fit. Join a company that dominates the products in their category – 1 out of 3 being sold by them and taking care of them with one of the highest customer service scores in retail! If you are passionately enthusiastic, endlessly curious, and customer obsessed, say “I do” and apply today!" That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". We'll put under "About the role". Then description of Buyer role: "The Buyer owns end-to-end merchandising leadership for a category, translating brand and financial strategy into a differentiated, profitable assortment. This role is accountable for strategy formulation and execution, assortment architecture, line building and product development, and financial planning and analysis — bringing customers the target mix of fashion, quality and price while achieving sales, margin and inventory-productivity goals. Channel Scope: Responsibility spans six key routes to market — Bricks, Ecom, Consignment/Shop-in-Shop, Store-in-Store, Marketplace and Wholesale — with the assortment purpose-built and optimized for each channel's economics, customer and role." Then sections: STRATEGY FORMULATION & EXECUTION, ASSORTMENT ARCHITECTURE, LINE BUILDING & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, FINANCIAL PLANNING & ANALYSIS. Those are responsibilities. Then "Education & Experience Bachelor's Degree plus 5+ years of related Buying experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Demonstrated command of assortment planning, product development and open-to-buy management; multi-channel or omnichannel merchandising experience strongly preferred. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel and PowerPoint) and adept at leveraging AI tools to drive efficiency, accelerate analysis and elevate decision-making." Then "Travel Requirements Regular store visits as needed. Some travel required, 1–2 times per quarter. International travel up to 2x per year (bridal buyer role only)." Then after that: "Now that we’ve popped the question, please say “I do”. Full Time Opportunity – A comprehensive benefits package is available. Rewarding Environment and Competitive Pay Generous Dream Maker Discount After First Pay Period Referral Incentive Program Dayforce Wallet – Get Paid Early! Health/Dental/Vision Insurance 401K Program Paid Vacation, Wellness Days & Holidays, including your Birthday off! Pet Benefits Love wins when love is for Everyone! Our mission at David’s Bridal is to embrace the ideas of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is our goal to build a workforce that is as representative as the customers we serve. We vow to create a culture where all forms of diversity are celebrated and seen as valuable. David’s Bridal encourages applications from all qualified candidates. David’s Bridal has a great record of accommodating persons with disabilities. Contact Human Resources at humanresources@dbi.com or 610.943.5048 if you need accommodation at any stage of the application process or want more information on our accommodation policies. Policy: Candidate Use of AI in Live Interviews We conduct interviews to evaluate each candidate’s own knowledge, judgment, and communication.

Candidates may use assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers, live captions) and may request reasonable accommodation in advance. Disclaimer: The preceding job description has been designed to highlight the general nature and level of work performed by employees within this classification. It is not designed to contain or be interpreted as a comprehensive description of all duties, responsibilities and qualifications required of employees assigned to this job. Actual duties and responsibilities will vary. The standard base pay range for this role is posted at a minimum and maximum rate. The starting rate of pay offered will vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, training, and/or experience, and internal equity. This base pay range is specific to the state this role is posted in and may not be applicable to other locations. At David’s Bridal, it is rare for an individual to be hired at the high end of the range in their role, and compensation decisions are dependent upon the details and circumstances of each position and candidate." We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation contact, AI policy, disclaimer. Also remove "Now that we’ve popped the question, please say “I do”." That's fluff but maybe part of about? It's not substantive. Might be considered boilerplate. We'll remove. We need to keep substantive info: benefits list: "Full Time Opportunity – A comprehensive benefits package is available. Rewarding Environment and Competitive Pay Generous Dream Maker Discount After First Pay Period Referral Incentive Program Dayforce Wallet – Get Paid Early! Health/Dental/Vision Insurance 401K Program Paid Vacation, Wellness Days & Holidays, including your Birthday off! Pet Benefits". Also mention "Love wins when love is for Everyone! Our mission..." That's DEI statement, maybe considered boilerplate? It's about diversity but could be considered EEO. Likely remove. We need to include Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. Pay: "Competitive Pay" mentioned but no specific numbers. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says "Competitive Pay" but no numbers. Is that considered filler? It's vague but still states that pay is competitive. Might be considered not specific enough. The rule says never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive Pay" as a phrase. That's a statement about pay, albeit not numeric. I'd argue it's still stating pay exists, but it's vague. The rule says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. "Competitive Pay" is similar to filler? Might be considered vague but not explicitly prohibited. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "Competitive Pay". So we could include a Pay section with that phrase. But better to include only if there is some detail like "Competitive Pay" plus maybe benefits. Since they also list benefits, we can include Benefits section. Schedule: Not mentioned besides full-time opportunity. No schedule details. So we should not create Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Education & Experience), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements?), Skills (proficiency in Microsoft Office, AI tools), Benefits, Pay. We need to avoid duplication. Let's structure:

About the role

From Aisle to Algorithm and for All Life’s Moments, at David’s Bridal, we empower our customers and our employees to stay true to their dreams and find the one, whether that means the event or the wedding dress that matches a personal style—or the career that is a perfect fit. Join a company that dominates the products in their category – 1 out of 3 being sold by them and taking care of them with one of the highest customer service scores in retail! If you are passionately enthusiastic, endlessly curious, and customer obsessed, say “I do” and apply today!

But the last sentence about "say “I do” and apply today!" is application instruction? It's a call to apply. Might be considered application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove that sentence. Keep the intro about company. Thus About the role paragraph: "From Aisle to Algorithm and for All Life’s Moments, at David’s Bridal, we empower our customers and our employees to stay true to their dreams and find the one, whether that means the event or the wedding dress that matches a personal style—or the career that is a perfect fit. Join a company that dominates the products in their category – 1 out of 3 being sold by them and taking care of them with one of the highest customer service scores in retail!" Now Responsibilities: combine the bullet points from strategy formulation, assortment architecture, line building & product development, financial planning & analysis. We'll make a

• for each duty.

That covers responsibilities. Now Requirements/Education & Experience: "Bachelor's Degree plus 5+ years of related Buying experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Demonstrated command of assortment planning, product development and open-to-buy management; multi-channel or omnichannel merchandising experience strongly preferred." We can put under Requirements. Skills: "Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel and PowerPoint) and adept at leveraging AI tools to drive efficiency, accelerate analysis and elevate decision-making." Also maybe "Travel Requirements Regular store visits as needed. Some travel required, 1–2 times per quarter. International travel up to 2x per year (bridal buyer role only)." That's travel requirement, could be under Requirements or a separate section? Not listed as a heading we must use; we could include under Requirements as a bullet. But we have only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put travel under Requirements. Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. But
