We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "More details can be found here: Nexxis Benefits Overview", "For more information visit us on Twitter or LinkedIn", contact info for accommodation, etc). Also remove duplicated lines. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About The Role: description: "We’re seeking an experienced (mid to senior level) Contracts Manager to support both prime contracts and subcontracts in a fast‑paced government‑contracting environment. This role is ideal for someone who excels at balancing compliance, negotiation, and relationship‑building, while keeping programs running smoothly." - What You’ll Do: list of duties. - Senior Level Can Also Expect To Do The Following: additional duties for senior. - What We’re Looking For: list of qualifications (education, experience, etc). Also "Strongly Preferred:" and "Senior Level Should Also Possess". - Why You’ll Love Working Here: bullet points: Meaningful mission impact, Collaborative team environment, Professional growth opportunities, Competitive compensation and benefits. - Clearance: TS/SCI with appropriate level poly required (current/active strongly preferred) - Nexxis Solutions offers competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package (including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, 401k and more). Salary ranges: mid-level $130k to $170k; senior level $160k to $200k - Telework/hybrid work schedule: this opportunity will offer some level of telework but candidates must be willing/able to report to office space when required - More details can be found here: Nexxis Benefits Overview (maybe part of benefits). Salary outside ranges may be considered based on qualifications. We need to map to sections: About the role: use the About The Role paragraph. Responsibilities: combine What You’ll Do and Senior Level Can Also Expect To Do The Following (maybe separate but both are responsibilities). Could be one responsibilities section with combined list. Requirements: maybe education and experience baseline? Could be "What We’re Looking For" includes requirements and qualifications. We need separate sections for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). We need to decide what goes where. We have content: education (Bachelor’s degree), experience (mid-level 5+ years, senior 10+ years), supervising/managing/mentoring contracting staff, understanding of FAR/DFARS, reviewing/negotiating terms, communication, organization, problem solving, ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities. Strongly Preferred: experience supporting DoD, IC, or federal civilian agencies; familiarity with CPSR environments; understanding of CUI/NISPOM requirements. Senior Level Should Also Possess: demonstrated success negotiating complex contract terms and handling high‑visibility programs; experience managing subcontract portfolios and leading contract professionals; exceptional communication and executive‑level briefing skills. Thus we can categorize: - Requirements: maybe the baseline requirements (education, experience, core skills). Could be "Bachelor’s degree ... Government Contract Management experience: For mid-level: 5+ years For senior level: 10+ years Experience supervising / managing / mentoring contracting staff. Strong understanding of FAR/DFARS and subcontract administration. Experience reviewing and negotiating contractual terms. Excellent communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills. Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities." - Qualifications: maybe the "Strongly Preferred" and "Senior Level Should Also Possess". But we could also combine. - Skills: maybe list of skills like communication, organization, problem solving, negotiation, etc. But we already have those in requirements. Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those categories if content exists. We need to decide. We have content for: - About the role: yes. - Responsibilities: yes (duties). - Requirements: yes (education, experience, core competencies). - Qualifications: maybe the "Strongly Preferred" and senior level additional qualifications. - Skills: maybe we could extract specific skills like negotiation, communication, etc. But we already have them. - Benefits: yes (competitive compensation and benefits package, paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, 401k and more). - Pay: yes (salary ranges). - Schedule: yes (telework/hybrid schedule). Thus we can include all sections. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, legal, contact info for accommodation, Twitter/LinkedIn, etc. Also remove "More details can be found here: Nexxis Benefits Overview" maybe part of benefits but it's a link; we can keep benefits description but drop the link line? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "More details can be found here: Nexxis Benefits Overview" is like a link to benefits overview; could be considered navigation? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's a reference to more details; maybe we can keep benefits description but drop that line. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; the link is not substantive info, it's a pointer. So we can drop it. Also "Salaries outside ranges may be considered based on qualifications (including but not limited to years of experience, education, certifications skills)." That's substantive about pay flexibility; we can keep in Pay section. Also "Clearance: TS/SCI with appropriate level poly required (current/active strongly preferred)" - that's a requirement (maybe under Requirements or Qualifications). We'll include under Requirements. Now craft HTML. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

    About the role

    We’re seeking an experienced (mid to senior level) Contracts Manager to support both prime contracts and subcontracts in a fast‑paced government‑contracting environment. This role is ideal for someone who excels at balancing compliance, negotiation, and relationship‑building, while keeping programs running smoothly.

    Responsibilities

    • Administer the full lifecycle of prime contracts and subcontracts, from award through closeout.
    • Review, negotiate, and manage contract and subcontract terms, modifications, and flow‑downs.
    • Ensure compliance with FAR, DFARS, agency supplements, and internal policies.
    • Coordinate with Program Management, Finance, Security, and Supply Chain to ensure contractual requirements are understood and met.
    • Cost proposal support including RFP review, document preparation/redlines, flow‑downs, risk analysis, teammate communication, and compliance.
    • Monitor funding and contractual obligations.
    • Work closely with program and finance teams on funding strategy, deliverables, performance, and reporting.
    • Maintain accurate contract files and Unanet GovCon system.
    • Assist with internal/external audits.
    • Serve as a key point of contact for government COs, primes, subs, and internal stakeholders.
    • Lead contract strategy, negotiation, and execution for high‑value federal programs.
    • Advise executives and program leadership on contractual risk, pricing, and compliance.
    • Manage relationships with government COs, prime contractors, subcontractors, legal counsel, and auditors.
    • Drive audit readiness and support CPSR, DCAA, DCMA, and internal reviews.

    Requirements

    • Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, contract management, or related field.
    • Government Contract Management experience: mid‑level 5+ years, senior level 10+ years.
    • Experience supervising, managing, or mentoring contracting staff.
    • Strong understanding of FAR/DFARS and subcontract administration.
    • Experience reviewing and negotiating contractual terms.
    • Excellent communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills.
    • Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
    • TS/SCI clearance with appropriate level polygraph (current/active strongly preferred).

    Qualifications

    • Strongly preferred: experience supporting DoD, IC, or federal civilian agencies; familiarity with CPSR environments; understanding of CUI/NISPOM requirements.
    • Senior level should also possess: demonstrated success negotiating complex contract terms and handling high‑visibility programs; experience managing subcontract portfolios and leading contract professionals; exceptional communication and executive‑level briefing skills.

    Skills

    Key skills include contract negotiation, compliance management, stakeholder communication, financial analysis, risk assessment, and proficiency with Unanet GovCon system.

    But we already listed many skills in Requirements; maybe we can omit Skills section if it's thin. However we have some skill summary not captured elsewhere: "proficiency with Unanet GovCon system" is mentioned in responsibilities but not as skill. Could be okay to have Skills section. But we need to ensure we don't create thin sections. The Skills section we wrote is a paragraph with some skills; it's substantive enough.

    Benefits

    • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
    • Paid time off.
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
    • 401(k) plan.

    Pay

    Salary ranges: mid‑level $130,000 to $170,000; senior level $160,000 to $200,000. Salaries outside these ranges may be considered based on qualifications (including years of experience, education, certifications, and skills).

    Schedule

    Telework/hybrid work schedule: some level of telework offered, with requirement to report to office space when needed.

    We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "More details can be found here: Nexxis Benefits Overview". We omitted that. Check for duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Check for any leftover EEO etc: removed. Check for any mention of "Nexxis Solutions offers competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package (including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, 401k and more)." We captured that in Benefits. Check for "Clearance: TS/SCI with appropriate level poly required (current/active strongly preferred)" included in Requirements. Check for "Why You’ll Love Working Here" content: we omitted that; we need to include that as maybe part of Benefits? Actually it's a separate section about why you'll love working here: meaningful mission impact, collaborative team environment, professional growth opportunities, competitive compensation and benefits. That's substantive and not covered elsewhere. Should we create a section for that? The allowed headings include Benefits, Pay, Schedule, etc. Not a generic "Why you'll love working here". But we could incorporate those points into Benefits or maybe a separate section like "What we offer". However the instruction only lists specific headings; but says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)."
