Director, Indirect Procurement & Category Management

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes description at start: "At Accendra Health, we understand...". That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Intro paragraph about Accendra Health and purpose. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". We'll use "About the role". - Then description of the Director role: "The Director, Indirect Procurement & Category Management provides strategic leadership..." That's responsibilities. - Then "The anticipated salary range for this position is $140k - $200k annual." That's Pay. - Then list of responsibilities bullet points: "Enterprise Procurement Strategy", "Category Management Leadership", "Executive Stakeholder Partnership", "Supplier Relationship Management", "Risk, Compliance & Resilience", "Procurement Transformation & Operational Excellence", "Leadership & Talent Development". Those are responsibilities. - Then "Required Years/Type Of Experience" etc. That's Requirements/Qualifications. - Then "Preferred Qualifications". - Then "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" broken into Technical/Job Knowledge, Computer/Systems Skills, Communication/Leadership Skills, Other Skills. That's Skills. - Then "What Success Looks Like" maybe could be a section? Not in list but could be considered "Responsibilities" or maybe "Expectations". Not required but could be included as a section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. We could make a section "What Success Looks Like" but not in the given examples. Might be better to incorporate into Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "Expectations". But we should stick to the given headings list; we can add others if needed but better to use those. We have Benefits section: "Teammate Benefits" with list. We have Pay section. We have Schedule? Not mentioned. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not repeat. We need to use

for each section heading. Inside sections, use

for prose,

• for lists. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove those. We need to include the salary range: $140k - $200k annual. Also note that actual compensation may vary based on factors. That's part of Pay. We need to include the benefits list. We need to include the responsibilities list exactly as given (the bullet headings and their sub-bullets). The posting has each responsibility heading followed by indented bullet points. We need to capture them as list items; maybe each main heading as a
• with sub-bullets as nested
  . We'll preserve details. Similarly for Requirements: "Required Years/Type Of Experience" includes multiple bullet points. We'll capture. Preferred Qualifications: list. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: we have categories with sub-bullets. We'll capture as nested lists. We need to avoid duplication: The posting repeats some lines? Not seeing duplicates besides maybe "Experience leading enterprise procurement transformation initiatives." appears in Preferred Qualifications and also maybe elsewhere? It's okay. We must not include EEO/equal-opportunity etc. So cut the final paragraphs about Accendra is an Equal Opportunity Employer, note about search firms, etc. Also remove the line "#AccendraHealth". Also remove the line "If you feel this opportunity could be the next step in your career, we encourage you to apply." That's application instruction; remove. Now craft HTML. Structure:
