We need to output HTML fragment with sections: 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, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
Intro paragraph: "In support of a challenging, critical, and rewarding program that provides integrated voice, video, and data services throughout the Information Technology lifecycle, Amentum is seeking a Configuration Manager Specialist to join our dynamic team of IT professionals dedicated to fostering a positive and collaborative work environment. You must be a critical thinker, have a strong work ethic, and be able to work independently or as a member of a team in a dynamic environment. We value candidates who are detail-oriented while also being able to think and react quickly to emerging and unique problem sets. To be successful, you must be able to rapidly adapt and learn how to operate the front and back end of new products and processes."
That's about the role. Could be "About the role".
Work Schedule: "Work Schedule: 5 Days (Mon – Fri); 8 hrs/Day; 40 hrs/wkly". So schedule section.
Essential Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple paragraphs). We'll put under Responsibilities.
Minimum Requirements (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities): list of requirements. We'll put under Requirements.
Minimum Education: High School Diploma. Minimum Years of Experience: 8 years of relevant experience. Could be part of Requirements.
Preferred Qualifications: list of certifications. Could be under Qualifications.
Other Responsibilities: Safety, Quality, Procedure Compliance. Those are generic company policies; maybe we can include under Responsibilities? But they are generic; but they are substantive? They are about safety, quality, procedure compliance. Might be considered responsibilities but they are generic boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Safety, Quality, Procedure Compliance might be considered boilerplate but they are part of job description. However they are generic policies; but they are not EEO. Might keep them under Responsibilities? But they'd be thin. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine them into Responsibilities.
Compensation Details: $130,000 - $160,000. So Pay section.
Benefits Overview: list. So Benefits section.
Original Posting date etc: maybe not needed. Could be omitted as metadata.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the posting, except boilerplate.
Let's extract substantive info:
About the role paragraph (first paragraph). Also maybe the sentence about "You must be a critical thinker..." etc. That's part of about role.
Work Schedule: we have schedule.
Essential Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple bullet-like sentences). We'll convert each duty to
- .
Minimum Requirements: list of items: active Top-Secret clearance with SCI or TS with ability to acquire SCI; 8 years relevant experience; strong background in CMDB technology; hands-on experience managing CMDB tools; strong working knowledge of ServiceNow CMDB (CI classes, relationships, reconciliation, discovery, data quality, governance); strong understanding of hardware lifecycle processes; demonstrated expertise with ITIL-aligned processes; ability to interpret technical documentation, architectural diagrams, system baselines; experience supporting DoD programs, familiarity with DoD IT service delivery standards; must be able to work 40-hour work week Monday-Friday; ability to work overtime during critical peaks and be available for last-minute overtime; familiarity with MS Office applications (Excel, Word, Outlook, SharePoint, Project, Visio); exceptional attention to detail; excellent verbal and written communication skills; strong critical thinking, organizational, time-management, problem-solving skills; ability to work independently and as part of a team in dynamic environment.
Minimum Education: High School Diploma.
Minimum Years of Experience: 8 years of relevant experience (already mentioned). Could be redundant.
Preferred Qualifications: list: Configuration Management Principles and Implementation Certification; CM2-PRO Certification; ServiceNow certifications (e.g., CIS–CMDB, ITSM, Discovery); ITIL V3-4 Foundation Certified; NDIA CDM Certification; Data Management Certification.
Other Responsibilities: Safety, Quality, Procedure Compliance paragraphs. Might be considered responsibilities but generic. We could include them under Responsibilities as additional items.
Compensation: $130,000 - $160,000.
Benefits: list: Health, dental, and vision insurance; Paid time off and holidays; Retirement benefits (including 401(k) matching); Educational reimbursement; Parental leave; Employee stock purchase plan; Tax-saving options; Disability and life insurance; Pet insurance.
Note about benefits varying based on employment type etc: maybe we can include as a note after list? It's substantive but maybe we can include as a
after list.
We must not include EEO etc. The posting includes a long EEO statement at end; we must remove.
Also remove "Original Posting: 09/16/2026 - Until Filled" etc. Might be considered metadata; we can drop.
Also remove "Amentum anticipates this job requisition will remain open for at least three days..." etc. Drop.
Also remove "#javelin #jointhepack #configurationmanagement #configmanager". Drop.
