We need to output only HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
We have sections: About Bobbie (company description) – not needed as heading? The instruction: Use
for each heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
We have sections: About Bobbie (company description) – not needed as heading? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we need sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content.
Let's extract:
About the role: The posting includes "About The Role" paragraph describing role. So we can include About the role
with paragraph(s) summarizing that content.
Responsibilities: There is "Key Responsibilities" with bullet points. So include Responsibilities
with - items.
Requirements: There's "Required Qualifications". That could map to Requirements. Also "Preferred Qualifications". Could be Qualifications? The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We need to decide mapping. Usually Requirements = required qualifications. Qualifications = preferred? Or maybe Requirements = required, Qualifications = preferred. We'll include both sections: Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Also Skills maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills list. There's no explicit Skills section; we can omit Skills.
Benefits: There's "Compensation And Benefits" with subparts Compensation and Benefits. We need separate Pay and Benefits sections. Pay: compensation ranges. Benefits: list of benefits.
Schedule: Not mentioned; maybe remote work model flexible time off etc. There's "US-based remote work model", "Flexible Time Off Policy (including Summer Fridays; half days on Fridays Memorial Day through Labor Day)". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that info.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all details from the posting within those sections.
Let's extract details:
About the role paragraph:
"Bobbie is a $150M+ infant nutrition company growing 50% year over year, expanding into new product categories while operating under FDA-regulated infant formula standards. The Director, Procurement & Raw Materials Strategy is a newly created role that will own strategic sourcing and supplier management for the ingredients and packaging behind that growth, reporting directly to the VP, Supply Chain. One person currently handles procurement strategy, supplier negotiation, tactical buying, and cost tracking. This director will take ownership of the strategic side of that work, build the cost accounting and supplier performance infrastructure, and free the current purchasing team to focus on category execution and supplier relationships."
That's the content.
Responsibilities bullet points:
- Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Management
- Own supplier strategy across dairy and nutritional ingredients, other ingredients and premixes, and packaging: a base of roughly 25 approved suppliers today, growing as Bobbie enters new categories.
- Lead negotiation of multi-year supply agreements and master supply agreements.
- Qualify and onboard new suppliers as Bobbie launches into new product categories, weighing lead time, cost, and regulatory risk, including FDA and IFN clearance timing on new packaging and ingredients.
- Build a formal supplier qualification process and scorecards where none exist today.
- Cost Accounting & Systems
- Stand up cost accounting and PPV reporting for raw material and packaging spend, replacing the manual spreadsheet tracking the team relies on today.
- Own procurement's use of ERP for planning, MRP, PO issuance, and item costing, partnering with the supply chain systems function to improve it over time.
- Work with Finance to manage the PO approval thresholds tied to cash-timing, balancing raw material lead times against cash management needs.
- Team Leadership
- Manage and develop the purchasing team.
- Shift the team's day-to-day from reactive tactical buying toward proactive category strategy and supplier relationship management.
- Cross-Functional Partnership
- Partner with Quality, Regulatory, and Science on ingredient and packaging specifications, supplier audits, and regulatory clearance timing.
- Partner with Supply Planning and Plant Operations, including comanufacturing sites, on demand signals, lead times, and inventory positioning.
- Partner with Finance on cash-timing, PO approval workflows, and cost reporting.
- Support new product launches end to end from a procurement standpoint: supplier selection, PO timing against regulatory clearance, and managing the tradeoffs of ordering ahead of clearance when launch timelines require it.
Required Qualifications:
- 8+ years in procurement or strategic sourcing, including experience negotiating multi-year supply agreements, ideally in food, CPG, or another regulated manufacturing environment.
- Experience standing up or significantly improving cost accounting or PPV processes.
- Comfort working directly in an ERP system and building reporting where none exists today.
- Experience managing suppliers through new product launches, including regulatory-driven timelines.
- People leadership experience, with comfort both setting strategy and staying close enough to the details to unblock the team.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Dairy or nutritional ingredient sourcing experience.
- Experience in infant formula, baby food, or another FDA-regulated food category.
- Experience scaling a procurement function inside a high-growth company (50%+ year over year growth).
Compensation:
- Our salaries are based on paying competitively for our size and industry. For fully remote roles, we have a salary range per role that is differentiated based on geographic location (Group A, B, or C).
- Group A (SF/Bay Area, Seattle, NYC): $170,100–$200,000
- Group B (Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Denver, Boston, Washington DC, San Diego, Philadelphia, Portland, Sacramento): $153,100 - $180,000
- Group C (All Other Cities): $144,600 - $170,000
Benefits:
- Competitive stock options
- 401k with employer match
- Employee medical, dental, and vision insurance 100% covered by Bobbie, with options to add dependents through a subsidized pre-tax deduction
- US-based remote work model
- Flexible Time Off Policy (including Summer Fridays; half days on Fridays Memorial Day through Labor Day)
- 16 paid company holidays, plus an end of year holiday shut down
- 16 weeks of paid parental leave with the option to take an additional 8 months unpaid
- One year subscription to Bobbie
- $75 monthly internet stipend
- Co-working space reimbursement
Schedule: Not explicit but we have remote work model, flexible time off policy, Summer Fridays etc. Could put under Schedule.
We need to avoid duplication: remote work model appears also in Benefits; but we could keep it in Benefits and not duplicate in Schedule. However schedule section could include flexible time off policy, Summer Fridays, etc. But remote work model is more about location; maybe schedule includes flexible time off policy. We'll include schedule: Flexible Time Off Policy (including Summer Fridays; half days on Fridays Memorial Day through Labor Day), US-based remote work model (maybe mention). But to avoid duplication, we could keep remote work model in Benefits and schedule only flexible time off. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine Benefits and Schedule? But they asked separate headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll include Schedule with flexible time off policy and maybe note remote work model as part of schedule? Might be okay.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that.
