DIRECTOR / CONTRACTING & PURCHASING SERVICES

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. Position Summary: "Responsible for the administration, operation and direction of activities associated with Contracting and Purchasing Services, University Stores, and Central Mailroom. Plans, develops and implements policies and practices related to contracting and purchasing of machinery, equipment, raw materials, software, leases, vehicles, furniture, contractual services and supplies necessary for the operation of the University." That's a prose summary; could be "About the role" section. Required Qualifications: list bullet points. Preferred Qualifications: also bullet. Duties & Responsibilities: bullet list. Supervision Exercised: prose. Employee Group: Professional & Administrative -Salary Staff Pay Level Pay Range: $110,000 - $125,000 Division: Finance and Administrative Services Department: Contracting & Purchasing Services Position Status: Regular Position End Date (blank) Employment Status: Full-Time FTE: 1.0 Position Type: 12 month Weekly Work Schedule: Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. / weekends and evenings as needed Location: Mount Pleasant, MI Posting Ends Open Until Filled: Yes About The Department: long paragraph about CMU. About CMU: also long. CMU Leadership Standards: paragraph. Message To Applicants: includes application instructions (should be removed per rule: remove application instructions). Also EEO boilerplate etc to remove. We need to preserve all substantive information, but remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role (position summary) - Responsibilities (Duties & Responsibilities) - Requirements (Required Qualifications) - Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications) maybe combine? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could map Required Qualifications to Requirements, Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications, maybe Skills not present. - Benefits: Not explicitly stated besides "CMU employees enjoy access to a nationally recognized wellness program along with health care and benefits that exceed regional, state and national norms." That's a benefit statement. So we can include Benefits section with that. - Pay: Pay Range $110,000 - $125,000. - Schedule: Weekly Work Schedule: Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. / weekends and evenings as needed. Also maybe include "About the Department" as part of About the role? Could be separate but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not add extra headings like About the Department. We could incorporate department info into About the role or maybe omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit department description, we lose info. However we could embed it within About the role section as prose. That's allowed: we can put any prose in

. So we can combine position summary and department description into About the role. Similarly, About CMU and Leadership Standards could also go into About the role or maybe we could add a separate section but not allowed. So we incorporate. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must not include application instructions, EEO, legal, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's gather content. About the role: combine position summary + department description + About CMU + Leadership Standards? Might be too much but allowed. Better: Keep About the role as position summary + maybe brief department description. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can put department description and About CMU and Leadership Standards into About the role as paragraphs. Let's extract: Position Summary: "Responsible for the administration, operation and direction of activities associated with Contracting and Purchasing Services, University Stores, and Central Mailroom. Plans, develops and implements policies and practices related to contracting and purchasing of machinery, equipment, raw materials, software, leases, vehicles, furniture, contractual services and supplies necessary for the operation of the University." About The Department: long paragraph about CMU (the same as About CMU?). Actually "About The Department" appears then "About CMU:" then details. So we have two similar sections: "About The Department" and "About CMU". They both describe CMU. We'll combine. CMU Leadership Standards: paragraph about leadership standards. Message To Applicants: includes instructions to apply, EEO etc. We'll remove application instructions and EEO. We need to keep substantive info like "CMU employees enjoy access to a nationally recognized wellness program along with health care and benefits that exceed regional, state and national norms." That's in the About CMU paragraph? Actually appears after "CMU employees enjoy access to a nationally recognized wellness program along with health care and benefits that exceed regional, state and national norms." That's in the About CMU paragraph after describing location etc. We'll keep. Now Required Qualifications list: - Bachelor's degree. - Five years increasingly relevant professional experience with at least two years in a management position. - Experience in the area of purchasing services or contract negotiations. - Demonstrated ability to organize and direct the work activities of others. - Ability to develop and maintain positive interpersonal relationships. - Demonstrated ability to project a positive attitude through excellent written and verbal communication skills. - Ability to perform the essential functions of the job with or without accommodation. Preferred Qualifications list: - Master's degree; Purchasing certification such as CPP or CPSM or similar. - Experience with contract development, review and related legal issues. - Experience with SAP or other integrated enterprise purchasing, logistics and/or accounting system. - Experience in higher education environment. - Experience in a unionized environment. Duties & Responsibilities list (many bullet points). We'll extract each sentence as bullet. Let's list them: - Plans, develops and implements policies and procedures related to various functions of Contracting & Purchasing Services. - Manages staff responsible for contracting, purchasing, receiving, storing, moving, distributing and monitoring goods and services for the University. - Ensures compliance with contracting authority on the University Contract Review Policy and Process. - Oversees and conducts competitive proposals and bidding process. - Collaborates with and guides University departments through the RFI and RFP processes. - Negotiates competitive contracts with vendors. - Manages supplier relationships. - Prepares cost analyses on university spend and contracts. - Supports feasibility studies on proposed projects. - Monitors and coordinates grant funded activities as they relate to purchasing. - Monitors and communicates applicable local, state, and federal statutes and administrative regulations to ensure compliance. - Leads process changes to improve efficiency and to better utilize University resources. - Acts as liaison between University departments and vendors/suppliers. - Coordinates and prioritizes work activities for the Contracting and Purchasing Services units. - Establish and maintain measurable performance metrics for all levels of procurement activities. - Maintains department budgets. - Manages other special projects as assigned. Supervision Exercised paragraph: "Supervisors are expected to support the Leadership Standards of Central Michigan University and foster a culture that inspires excellence. The Leadership Standards define how we lead and treat others on our team. As leaders, it is our responsibility to seek input from our teams to continuously improve our leadership abilities and our demonstration of the standards. Additionally, it is our responsibility to encourage and support the growth and development of those whom we lead. At CMU, we encourage employees to grow both personally and professionally, and thus advance CMU's culture of excellence." That's substantive; we could put under Responsibilities or a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into Responsibilities as prose. Employee Group etc: we have Pay Range, Division, Department, Position Status, Employment Status, FTE, Position Type, Weekly Work Schedule, Location, Posting Ends Open Until Filled: Yes. We need to include Pay and Schedule sections. Pay: Pay Range: $110,000 - $125,000. Schedule: Weekly Work Schedule: Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. / weekends and evenings as needed. Also Position Type: 12 month (maybe part of schedule). Could include in Schedule. Benefits: "CMU employees enjoy access to a nationally recognized wellness program along with health care and benefits that exceed regional, state and national norms." Also maybe mention "CMU Leadership Standards" but that's not benefit. Now we need to output HTML with

headings and

• for lists,

  for prose. We must not include empty sections. Let's craft:

  About the role

  Responsible for the administration, operation and direction of activities associated with Contracting and Purchasing Services, University Stores, and Central Mailroom. Plans, develops and implements policies and practices related to contracting and purchasing of machinery, equipment, raw materials, software, leases, vehicles, furniture, contractual services and supplies necessary for the operation of the University. About the department: Central Michigan University has a more than 125-year legacy of preparing students to become leaders and changemakers in their communities and in their personal and professional lives. We serve nearly 15,500 students on our Mount Pleasant campus, in satellite locations around the state and throughout the country, and through flexible online programs. Many of our approximately 300 undergraduate, master's, specialist and doctoral programs in the arts, media, business, education, human services, health professions, liberal arts, social sciences, medicine, science and engineering are nationally ranked for excellence. CMU leads the nation in leadership development programming through our Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute, and we are proud to be among only 5% of U.S. universities in the top two Carnegie research classifications. Our faculty work with graduate and undergraduate students in areas such as Great Lakes research, medical innovation, engineering technology and more. Central is home to 17 men's and women's Division 1 sports including football, basketball, gymnastics, baseball, wrestling and more. Our student-athletes achieve great success in competition and in the classroom, capturing Mid-American Conference championships and maintaining an average cumulative GPA of 3.17. CMU is located in Mount Pleasant, a community that blends the best of small-town living with big-city amenities. It's part of the culturally varied and vibrant Great Lakes Bay Region that also includes Saginaw, Bay City, Midland and the state's largest Native American community, centered on the Saginaw Chippewa Isabella Reservation in Mount Pleasant. Area residents enjoy the mix of outdoor activities, cultural events, shopping and dining options, and family attractions. Other major Michigan destinations and attractions — Lansing, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Traverse City, wineries, beaches, golf and ski resorts, and many more — are within easy reach of the city's central location in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. CMU employees enjoy access to a nationally recognized wellness program along with health care and benefits that exceed regional, state and national norms. CMU Leadership Standards: Central Michigan University is a place where we value students and work for their success, where we act as family, and where employees are engaged, appreciated and have extraordinary opportunities to make a difference. We intentionally maintain and strengthen the hallmark CMU culture that sets us apart from our peers by expecting CMU leaders and employees to model the following Leadership Standards and develop them within their teams.

  But we already have Benefits section for wellness program; we might duplicate. Could keep wellness program in Benefits and not repeat in About the role. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep it in Benefits and not repeat. But we already included it in About the role; we could remove duplicate to avoid redundancy but still preserve info (since it's in Benefits). That's fine. Thus About the role can exclude the wellness program sentence. Let's adjust About
