Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must only include sections when posting has real specific content.

Then sections: "Category Management" with bullet points: "Own and continuously evolve global IT category strategies and execute multi-year sourcing roadmaps aligned to business and technology priorities", "Establish the right roster of preferred suppliers and drive supplier consolidation, cost optimization, and efficiency improvements", "Design and run end-to-end sourcing events, including RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, and negotiations", "Build total cost of ownership (TCO) models and business cases to support sourcing decisions", "Evaluate emerging technologies and sourcing models to support digital initiatives"
Then "Contracting & Commercial Negotiations" bullet points: "Negotiate and finalize complex enterprise agreements across software, SaaS, cloud, hardware, and services, ensuring terms and conditions meet business objectives.", "Ensure strong commercial terms, including pricing, service level agreements (SLAs), security, intellectual property, and risk protections", "Lead supplier negotiations and deliver continuous, sustainable productivity, cost savings, and cost avoidance"
Then "Supplier Relationship Management": "Run supplier relationship management (SRM) with strategic technology suppliers, monitoring Key Performance Indicators, service levels, and innovation contributions", "Resolve high-risk escalations and manage contractual and reputational risks proactively", "Partner with Legal, Information Security, and Risk teams on supplier governance, third-party risk, and due diligence"
Then "Stakeholder Management": "Manage senior-level relationships across IT, Information Security, Legal, Finance, and Compliance to ensure alignment of procurement goals with business priorities", "Collaborate with the functions to continuously optimize spending; monitor and optimize IT spend, licensing, and cloud utilization; and drive adoption of procurement processes with a customer-focused approach"
Then "Risk & Compliance": "Ensure compliance with procurement policies and regulatory standards", "Promote ethical sourcing, sustainability/ESG criteria, and supplier diversity initiatives"
Then "We believe you bring" bullet points: "Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Finance, Information Systems, or another relevant discipline OR Master’s degree or MBA; Master’s degree in Information Technology or related field", "Minimum of 5 years of work experience in Category Management of Indirect Services Procurement in a global environment; experience in enterprise IT sourcing and category management (software, SaaS, cloud, hardware, and IT services); demonstrated success negotiating complex, high-value enterprise technology agreements", "Experience sourcing AI and cybersecurity solutions; knowledge of software asset management (SAM) and IT asset management (ITAM)", "Strategic category leadership, supplier relationship management (SRM), stakeholder influence and business partnering, financial and analytical acumen, risk and contract management, data-driven decision making, project management", "Strategic sourcing and RFx execution (RFI/RFP/RFQ), contracting and commercial negotiation, total cost of ownership (TCO) modeling and business case development, analytical skills, problem solving, interpersonal skills", "Tech savvy: strong understanding of software licensing models, SaaS, cloud platforms (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud), cybersecurity, and IT professional services; proficiency with procurement platforms (e.g., SAP Ariba, Coupa); Ops Fintech experience"
Then "Good to know" paragraph: "Please apply via our online recruitment system. We will not accept applications via e-mail.

Then "About Nouryon" paragraph: "If you’re looking for your next career move, apply today and join Nouryon’s worldwide team in providing essential solutions that our customers use to manufacture everyday products such as personal care, cleaning, paints and coatings, agriculture and food, pharmaceuticals, and building products.

Then "We have already chosen our sourcing channels for this recruitment and kindly ask not to be contacted by any advertisement agents, recruitment agencies or staffing companies. Nouryon is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law."
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must remove the "Good to know" paragraph that includes application instructions (apply via online recruitment system, etc.) and referral program etc. Also remove the "About Nouryon" paragraph? It's not boilerplate; it's about company description. Might be considered substantive? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The About Nouryon paragraph is substantive about company. Should we keep? It's not a standard section heading like About the role etc. It could be considered "About Nouryon" maybe we could put under a heading "About Nouryon"? But the instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use h3 for section headings (e.g. those). It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but likely they expect those standard headings. However we can include a heading "About Nouryon" if we want, but it's not in the list. Safer to not create a heading for it; we could just put it as a
without heading. But we need to decide if we should keep it. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The About Nouryon paragraph is substantive but could be considered company overview. Might be okay to keep as a paragraph without heading.
We also need to remove the EEO statement at the end (equal opportunity employer). That's boilerplate legal; must remove.
Also remove "We have already chosen our sourcing channels..." line (boilerplate about recruitment agencies). Remove.
Thus we keep:
- Intro paragraph(s) up to "In your future role as a Global Category Manager IM, you will" maybe combine with following description.
- Then sections: Category Management, Contracting & Commercial Negotiations, Supplier Relationship Management, Stakeholder Management, Risk & Compliance, Qualifications (maybe "We believe you bring" could be Qualifications or Requirements). Also maybe "Skills" could be separate but we have many skill bullets; we could combine qualifications and skills into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction: Use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have headings like Responsibilities (for the bullet lists under Category Management etc.), Requirements (for experience/education), Skills (for technical skills). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine responsibilities and requirements into one? But we have distinct groups: responsibilities (category management, contracting, SRM, stakeholder, risk/compliance). Then qualifications (education, experience, etc.). Then skills (technical savvy, etc.). Could be three sections.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content.
Thus output:
Responsibilities
- ... (list of responsibility bullet points from Category Management, Contracting & Commercial Negotiations, Supplier Relationship Management, Stakeholder Management, Risk & Compliance)
But we need to keep the bullet points grouped? Could just list all responsibility bullets under one ul. That's okay.
Then
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree ... OR Master’s degree or MBA; Master’s degree in Information Technology or related field
- Minimum of 5 years of work experience in Category Management of Indirect Services Procurement in a global environment; experience in enterprise IT sourcing and category management (software, SaaS, cloud, hardware, and IT services); demonstrated success negotiating complex, high-value enterprise technology agreements
- Experience sourcing AI and cybersecurity solutions; knowledge of software asset management (SAM) and IT asset management (ITAM)
Then

- Tech savvy: strong understanding of software licensing models, SaaS, cloud platforms (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud), cybersecurity, and IT professional services; proficiency with procurement platforms (e.g., SAP Ariba, Coupa); Ops Fintech experience
We also need an introductory paragraph before sections: maybe a
containing the intro description up to "you will". Let's craft:
