We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for headings. Only include sections with real specific content. We have content: description (About the role) - we can put under

About the role

with paragraph(s). Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications maybe combined as Requirements? Could separate Qualifications and Skills? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include multiple: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have real specific content. We have content for About the role (description). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills? Not explicitly listed as separate; maybe we can infer from qualifications but better not to create thin sections. Benefits: posting mentions "benefits" but not specific details; only says "Meta offers benefits. Learn more about benefits at Meta." That's vague, not specific. So we should NOT create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay: we have salary range $121,000/year to $177,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits. That's specific enough for Pay. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Pay. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For Responsibilities we have a list of bullet-like sentences. We'll put each as
  • . For Requirements (minimum qualifications) we have a list of bullet-like items; we can also use
    • . For Qualifications (preferred) similarly. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove "About Meta" maybe? The posting includes "About Meta" which is generic company description; is that substantive? It's not specific to role; but it's still part of posting. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Meta" is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic company overview; but it's still substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove EEO etc. Not explicitly to remove About Meta. However, we might keep it as part of About the role? But we already have About the role section describing role; we could incorporate About Meta into that? But better to keep it as separate section? The headings list includes About the role, not About Meta. So we could treat About Meta as part of About the role? Might be okay to include a paragraph about Meta under About the role. However, the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine About the role and About Meta into one About the role section. Thus About the role paragraph: combine the initial description plus maybe the About Meta description? But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include both. Let's extract the role description: "The Global Technology Sourcing Team is a dynamic and innovative group that drives technical innovation, high quality standards, and cost-savings via a customized supply chain. As part of this team, the Commercial Sourcing Manager plays a critical role in driving strategic sourcing decisions and managing supplier relationships for Custom Mechanical/Thermal/Power categories, supporting AI, compute, and storage hardware products. As the primary commercial sourcing and operations contact, this individual will develop and lead negotiation and sourcing strategies, partnering with Meta project, engineering, and technology teams to drive technical innovation, high quality standards, and cost-savings via a customized supply chain. This role is required to interface directly with vendors and ODM partners in the region while partnering with our global team to achieve operational results across Meta's world-wide infrastructure while partnering with our global team to achieve operational results across Meta’s worldwide infrastructure. Serving as a detail-oriented operational leader of the sourcing organization in-region, this role has significant leadership responsibilities including driving sources of truth, responding to the most pressing operational needs across AI, Compute and Storage, and escalating/driving solutions with leadership at Meta and our vendor partners." That's the role description. Then About Meta paragraph: "Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics." We can combine them. Now Responsibilities list: The bullet points after "Commercial Sourcing Manager Responsibilities:" each sentence separated by line breaks? Let's extract: - Maintain current knowledge of the technology and industry trends for the relevant technologies/categories and perform competitive analysis on relevant products - Vendor management (score card, business reviews, tactical and strategic relationship): Develop and maintain productive relationships with executive management at key suppliers. Influence supplier business models, roadmaps, and support to ensure Meta's commercial and technical requirements are met - Provide commodity and supplier expertise and consulting to design engineering for technology migration and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) - Drive supplier proposals and RFQs. Resolve all commercial queries arising from the quote process and formalize business awards - Own expertise in supplier cost and contract negotiations and provide review and input for product development and master supply agreements - Support product transfer from NPI to mass-production and support sustaining operations - Drive operational reactions, preventions, and improvements across vendor performance landscape: from long-range readiness to real-time production and delivery. Guide teams and manage the bring-up, validation, launch, manufacturing and deployment of hardware systems - Develop supplier process improvement plans to improve manufacturing scale, yields, cost and time to deployment in partnership with quality engineering, hardware engineering and sourcing - Rapidly synthesize and communicate findings to executive teams and proactively identify and resolve potential supply issues that can affect product strategy We need to keep each as
    • . Some have multiple sentences; we can keep them as is inside
    • . Now Minimum Qualifications list: after "Minimum Qualifications:" we have: - BA/BS or equivalent in technical or business related field with 10+ years of relevant experience with major mechanical/thermal/power and cable/interconnects categories - 10+ years of experience in Sourcing Management or Supply Chain Management experience in commercial sourcing roles - Demonstrated results of improving supply chain and supplier performance, including but not limited to the use of cost models and objective based performance measures - Proven experience demonstrating analytical and results focused approach - Experience in managing complex supplier relationships, contracts, and joint development models, as well as experience in leading commercial engagement, prototype sourcing, and development in support of new product development and introduction - Experience with working and influencing at the executive level to build consensus and drive solutions - Significant operational experience to understand the relationship between product development roadmaps, demand/supply drivers, manufacturing, production operations, and relationship management - Experience in planning of New Product Introduction (NPI) pilots, product ramp, sustaining support, and end-of-life cycle for compute & storage hardware products in large-scale environment - Proven experience achieving major mass production output according to timelines and industry conditions We'll put each as
    • . Preferred Qualifications list: after "Preferred Qualifications:" we have: - Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies - Supply chain-centric operations, commercial and technical experience in hyperscale data centers - Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements) - Experience interfacing with internal and external partners in a complex cross-functional environment - Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews) Now Pay: we have "$121,000/year to $177,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate, monthly rate, or annual salary only, and do not include bonus, equity or sales incentives, if applicable. In addition to base compensation, Meta offers benefits. Learn more about benefits at Meta." We need to preserve all substantive information. So we can put a paragraph with that text. Might be long but okay. We should not create Benefits section because it's not specific. Now output HTML fragment: start with

      . Make sure no extra whitespace? It's fine. Check for duplicated lines: The role description had repeated phrase "while partnering with our global team to achieve operational results across Meta's world-wide infrastructure while partnering with our global team to achieve operational results across Meta’s worldwide infrastructure." That's duplicated; we should preserve all substantive information but not duplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It says remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate that repeated phrase. The sentence appears twice back-to-back. We should keep only one instance. So we need to edit the description to remove duplicate. Let's rewrite the role description without duplicate. Original: "This role is required to interface directly with vendors and ODM partners in the region while partnering with our global team to achieve operational results across Meta's world-wide infrastructure while partnering with our global team to achieve operational results across Meta’s worldwide infrastructure." We can keep: "This role is required to interface directly with vendors and ODM partners in the region while partnering with our global team to achieve operational results across Meta's worldwide infrastructure." Now also earlier there is "Serving as a detail-oriented operational leader of the sourcing organization in-region, this role has significant leadership responsibilities including driving sources of truth, responding to the most pressing operational needs across AI, Compute and Storage, and escalating/driving solutions with leadership at Meta and our vendor partners." That's fine. Now combine with initial paragraphs. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "The Global Technology Sourcing Team is a dynamic and innovative group that drives technical innovation, high quality standards, and cost-savings via a customized supply chain. As part of this team, the Commercial Sourcing Manager plays a critical role in driving strategic sourcing decisions and managing supplier relationships for Custom Mechanical/Thermal/Power categories, supporting AI, compute, and storage hardware products. As the primary commercial sourcing and operations contact, this individual will develop and lead negotiation and sourcing strategies, partnering with Meta project, engineering, and technology teams to drive technical innovation, high quality standards, and cost-savings via a customized supply chain. This role is required to interface directly with vendors and ODM partners in the region while partnering with our global team to achieve operational results across Meta's worldwide infrastructure. Serving as a detail-oriented operational leader of the sourcing organization in-region, this role has significant leadership responsibilities including driving sources of truth, responding to the most pressing operational needs across AI, Compute and Storage, and escalating/driving solutions
