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 need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph: "The future of aerospace and defense starts here..." etc. That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". We'll treat as About the role. - Then: "Ursa Major is looking for an experienced Buyer to join our team, who will report to the Procurement Lead. You will increase operational efficiency..." That's also role description. - Then location: "This position is available in our Berthoud, Colorado and Longmont, Colorado facility." Could be part of About the role or maybe separate but not a heading. - Then "Responsibilities" heading with bullet list. - Then "Qualifications" heading with bullet list. - Then "Colorado law requires us to tell you the base compensation range of this role, which is $68,000 - $85,000, determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities." That's Pay. - Then "What we can’t quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy." Not needed. - Then "Classification: Full-time Exempt" maybe schedule? Actually classification full-time exempt indicates full-time. Could be Schedule? Not explicit schedule like hours. Might not include Schedule section because no specific schedule details. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. We have Pay stated. Benefits are stated later. Schedule? Not explicitly given; classification full-time exempt maybe implies full-time but not explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday, 9-5". Probably we should not create Schedule section because not explicitly stated. However we could include Schedule if we infer full-time? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does not state schedule explicitly, so we should not create Schedule section. - Benefits: list after "Benefits Include:" with bullet points. - Also there is "How To Apply" etc which we should remove (application instructions). Also EEO boilerplate etc remove. - Also note: "Must be a U.S. Person..." etc is eligibility; could be part of Qualifications? Might be considered a requirement. Could include under Qualifications or Requirements. But we already have Qualifications section; we could add that as a bullet under Qualifications. However the instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can incorporate eligibility under Qualifications or Requirements. The posting has "Qualifications" heading already with bullet-like sentences. We'll keep that. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting except boilerplate. Let's extract substantive content: About the role / company description: "The future of aerospace and defense starts here. Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands. Ursa Major is looking for an experienced Buyer to join our team, who will report to the Procurement Lead. You will increase operational efficiency by engaging with our suppliers, issuing purchase orders, coordinating deliveries, and communicating timelines to internal customers. We prefer that you are proficient in informational flow and communication, which are necessary to succeed at a smaller, technical organization. You will support the Manufacturing team while facilitating engineering goals and supporting all organizational groups. We prefer that you are comfortable using modern ERP systems, MS Office suite, project management software, and have excellent communication skills. This position is available in our Berthoud, Colorado and Longmont, Colorado facility." That's all substantive. Responsibilities: list bullet points after "Responsibilities". Let's capture each: - Create and manage purchase orders for raw materials, additive and subtractive manufacturing components, services, and equipment needed for manufacturing. - Proactively monitor and communicate with Supply Chain leadership and internal customers on the status of open purchase orders and delivery timelines. - Negotiate favorable pricing, payment terms, and delivery schedules with new and existing suppliers. - Support and help drive oversight of the supplier management system, ensuring compliance with company standards and regulations (ITAR/EAR, FAR/DFAR). - Establish and maintain strong relationships with suppliers to ensure prompt deliveries and optimal pricing. - Monitor, analyze, and report on supplier performance metrics, delivery commitments, and corrective actions as needed. - Coordinate and support supplier non-disclosure agreement creation and processing. - Attention to detail and ability to manage multiple engine programs in a fast-paced environment. - Resolve any issues related to price discrepancies, delayed shipments, or damaged goods. - Identify and implement cost savings opportunities and alternative suppliers. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as Engineering, Material Control, Quality, Finance, to meet project and production timelines. - Other duties as assigned. Qualifications: list bullet points after "Qualifications". Let's capture: - 2-4 years of experience in procurement, purchasing, or supply chain, preferably in a manufacturing environment (aerospace experience is a plus). - Proficiency in hardware-centered production environment. - Project management knowledge. - Experience working in the Federal Government regulatory environment (i.e. understands FAR and DFAR procurement requirements and how they impact suppliers). - Familiarity with modern ERP systems (experience with Odoo is a plus). - Must be a U.S. Person (this includes U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents). - Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance. Also maybe "Colorado law requires us to tell you the base compensation range..." is Pay. Pay: "$68,000 - $85,000, determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities." Benefits: list after "Benefits Include:": - Unlimited PTO - Vacation, Sick, Personal, and Bereavement - Paid Parental and Adoptive Leave - Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance - Tax Advantage Accounts (HSA/FSA) - Employer Paid Short and Long Term Disability, Basic Life, AD&D - Additional Benefit Options Including Voluntary Life and Emergency Medical Transport - EAP Program - Retirement Savings Plan - 401k with Company Match - Equity Grants in the Company Also "Classification: Full-time Exempt" maybe we could treat as Schedule? But not explicit schedule. Could we add a Schedule section with "Full-time Exempt"? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Classification: Full-time Exempt". That is a classification, not schedule per se but indicates full-time. Might be considered schedule info. However they said "Schedule" heading for schedule info like hours, shift. Since we have classification full-time exempt, we could include that under Schedule? But risk of creating a section with filler? It's not filler; it's actual info. I'd lean to include a Schedule section with "Full-time Exempt". However the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state classification full-time exempt, which is about employment type, not schedule but could be considered schedule. I'd include Schedule section with that line. But we also have "Benefits" section definitely. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. We'll structure:

    About the role

    ... (the paragraph(s) )

    Responsibilities

    • ...

    Qualifications

    Pay

    Schedule

    Full-time Exempt

    Check if any other sections like Skills? The posting mentions skills like proficiency in informational flow, communication, ERP, MS Office, project management software, excellent communication skills. Those are already in About the role or Qualifications. Could we create a Skills section? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We already have About the role covering many skills. So we skip Skills. We must ensure we preserve all substantive information. Did we miss any? Let's re-read original: - "The future of aerospace and defense starts here. Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands." (included) - "Ursa Major is looking for an experienced Buyer to join our team, who will report to the Procurement Lead." (included) - "You will increase operational efficiency by engaging with our suppliers, issuing purchase orders, coordinating deliveries, and communicating timelines to internal customers." (included) - "We prefer that you are proficient in informational flow and communication, which are necessary to succeed at a smaller, technical organization." (included) - "You will support the Manufacturing team while facilitating engineering goals and supporting all organizational groups." (included) - "We prefer that you are comfortable using modern ERP systems, MS Office suite, project management software, and have excellent communication skills." (included) - "This position is available in our Berthoud, Colorado and Longmont, Colorado facility." (included) - Responsibilities list (included) - Qualifications list (included) plus eligibility. - Pay (included) - Benefits list (included) - "Classification: Full-time Exempt" (Schedule) - "What we can’t quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy." This is fluff but still substantive? It's not boilerplate; it's a statement about culture. Should we preserve? It's not a list, it's a sentence. Could be included in About the role paragraph maybe. It's not boilerplate; it's a descriptive statement. We should preserve it. Where to put? Could add to About the role paragraph after location. Let's include it as a sentence. - "How To Apply ..." remove. - "NOTE: Research suggests that women and BIPOC individuals may self-select out of opportunities if they don't meet 100% of the job requirements. We encourage anyone who believes they have the skills and the drive necessary to succeed here to apply for this role." This is encouragement but maybe considered boilerplate? It's not standard EEO but still a note encouraging underrepresented groups. Might be considered part of the posting but not essential? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This note is about encouraging underrepresented groups; it's not exactly EEO boilerplate but it's a note about diversity. Could be considered EEO-related. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. This note is about encouraging women and BIPOC; it's related to equal opportunity. I'd remove it. - "Must be a U.S. Person (this includes U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents)." we included as qualification. - "Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance." included. - "We’re an equal-opportunity employer. You will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran, or disability status." This is EEO boilerplate; remove. - "No outside recruiters, please
