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. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Sections present: - About The Role (content) - Pay And Benefits (content) - Responsibilities (content) - Required Qualifications (content) - Desired Qualifications (content) - This position requires access to export-controlled areas... (maybe part of Requirements? Could be separate but not a heading; we can include under Requirements or Qualifications) - What We Offer (benefits description) - Gore is an equal opportunity employer... (boilerplate, remove) - Gore is committed to a drug-free workplace... (remove) - Gore will consider qualified applicants with criminal histories... (remove) - Gore requires all applicants to be eligible to work within the United States... (maybe part of Requirements? It's a requirement but could be included under Requirements as a note. However it's boilerplate legal; but it's a substantive requirement? It's about eligibility to work in US. Might be considered boilerplate but it's a requirement. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is legal requirement about work eligibility; might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove. - This position offers a hybrid work arrangement... (maybe part of Benefits or Schedule? It's about work arrangement; could be under Benefits or Schedule. There's no explicit Schedule section; but we could include under Benefits or maybe under a separate "Work Arrangement" but not allowed headings. Could include under Benefits as a bullet. - Also mention location: Elkton, Maryland, possibility of hybrid work arrangement. - Pay And Benefits includes salary range and variable pay program, benefits effective day 1, medical dental vision, total rewards, link. - What We Offer includes total rewards program, benefits choice, Associate Stock Ownership Plan, profit-sharing, link. We need to avoid duplication. Combine benefits info under Benefits section maybe. We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes Pay And Benefits includes salary. So we need a Pay section with salary range and variable pay program details. Benefits section separate. Schedule: Not explicitly stated besides hybrid work arrangement possibility. Not a schedule like full-time/part-time. Could be considered Schedule? The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It mentions hybrid work arrangement but not specific schedule (e.g., flexible hours). Might be considered under Benefits or maybe under a "Work Arrangement" but not allowed. Safer to not create Schedule section unless explicit. So we omit Schedule. Skills: Not explicitly listed as a separate section; but we have skills mentioned in Required Qualifications: Strong knowledge of SAP FTM best practices, Agile and Lean methodologies, process automation. Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders... Excellent business process analysis, problem-solving, and communication skills. Ability to travel up to 10%. Those could go under Skills section. However we already have Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications. The instruction says use headings for sections like Skills if there is real specific content. We could create a Skills section extracting those skill statements. But we must preserve all substantive info; we could keep them under Required Qualifications. It's okay to have fewer sections. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine skill statements into Required Qualifications. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Desired Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. Now format: Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide what is a list. About the role: prose paragraph(s). Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine into

    . Responsibilities: list of bullet points (each line starts with a verb). We'll make

    • . Required Qualifications: list of bullet points (each line). We'll make
      • . Desired Qualifications: list of bullet points. Pay: maybe prose with salary range and variable pay program. Could be

        . Benefits: list of benefits (medical, dental, vision, total rewards, stock ownership, profit-sharing). Could be

        • . We need to preserve all substantive info: location Elkton, Maryland, possibility of hybrid work arrangement. Where to put? Could be under Benefits or About the role. Probably under About the role as location detail. We'll include in About the role paragraph. Also mention "This position offers a hybrid work arrangement in the country from which the Associate is employed." Could be under Benefits as a bullet about work arrangement. Let's extract details. About The Role paragraph: "As the Global Forecast to Manufacture (FTM) Value Stream Lead, you will partner with Supply Chain business leaders to transform and standardize end-to-end Forecast to Manufacture processes, leveraging industry best practices and SAP S/4HANA along with complementary digital solutions to support Gore Fabrics' strategic objectives. Forecast to Manufacture covers the following end-to-end processes: Forecast to Planning, Plan to Manufacture, Source to Pay, and Quality.

You will collaborate with Supply Chain business stakeholders, Digital/IT teams, solution architects, functional experts, and implementation partners to define and implement future-state processes that improve Supply Chain operational performance and enterprise-wide standardization.

As the strategic owner of the FTM value stream, you will ensure Supply Chain planning, procurement, and manufacturing capabilities enable growth, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction while advancing enterprise-wide standardization. This position will be located at our facility in Elkton, Maryland, with the possibility of a hybrid work arrangement." We'll put that in

          . Responsibilities bullet points: - Lead the global FTM value stream strategy, governance, and process standardization across regions within Fabrics in collaboration with other OpCos. - Partner across Sales Operations, Supply Chain, Logistics, Finance, Digital, Enterprise Architecture, and Cross-OpCo SAP teams to align global FTM processes, business capabilities, and SAP S/4HANA & other solutions. - Define and enable scalable future-state FTM processes supporting growth, Supply Chain operational excellence, and product quality. - Provide leadership for SAP S/4HANA FTM design, deployment, testing, and continuous improvement initiatives. - Lead FTM activities during implementation, Go-Live, and Hypercare phases, including issue resolution & escalation, cross-functional coordination, and transition to support organizations. - Monitor operational KPIs and identify opportunities for process optimization, automation, and simplification. - Coach business process specialists and support organizational readiness, adoption, and continuous improvement initiatives. Required Qualifications bullet points: - Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, Supply Chain, Finance, or a related field. - Minimum of 10 years of experience in Supply Chain Management, ERP transformation, 3PL operations, or related business process leadership roles. - Minimum of 5 years of experience leading efforts implementing SAP S/4HANA IBP, PPDS, PP, MM, & QM, including integration with Finance, Supply Chain, Order-to-Cash (OTC), and related business processes. - Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience implementing SAP IBP, PPDS or PP. - Demonstrated success leading global process standardization, SAP implementations, and business transformation initiatives. - Experience supporting SAP S/4HANA implementation, go-live, hypercare, and transition to steady-state operations. - Strong knowledge of SAP FTM best practices, Agile and Lean methodologies, and process automation. - Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and lead initiatives in complex global organizations. - Excellent business process analysis, problem-solving, and communication skills. - Ability to travel up to 10%. Desired Qualifications bullet points: - Experience serving as a Global Process Owner, Business Process Integration Manager, Cross Value Stream Solution Architect, or Business Transformation Lead. - Experience working in manufacturing or complex global supply chain environments. - SAP certification in IBP, PP, or PPDS and/or an MBA (or equivalent advanced degree) preferred. - This position requires access to export-controlled areas and information. Candidates must be "U.S. persons" as that term is defined in 8 USC 1324b(a)(3). The term "U.S. persons" includes US citizens, resident aliens ("green-card" holders) as well as certain refugees, asylum-holders and residents qualifying for temporary residence under the terms of 8 USC1255a. - This position offers a hybrid work arrangement in the country from which the Associate is employed. Eligibility is dependent on the responsibilities of the role and business needs, and the Associate must agree to comply with Gore’s work arrangement policies. But note: The last two bullets about export-controlled areas and hybrid work arrangement might be better placed under Benefits or maybe under a separate section but we can keep them under Desired Qualifications as they are part of qualifications? They are more like requirements. However they are not exactly qualifications; they are eligibility and work arrangement. Could be placed under Benefits? The instruction says include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. Hybrid work arrangement is mentioned; we could put under Benefits as a bullet about work arrangement. Export-controlled areas and US persons requirement is a legal requirement; could be under Requirements. But we already have Required Qualifications; we could add a bullet there. However the instruction says remove legal/EEO boilerplate. The export-controlled area and US persons requirement is legal but it's a substantive requirement for the role (security). Might be considered boilerplate? It's a specific requirement about citizenship. It's similar to "eligible to work in US". The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is about export-controlled areas and US persons; might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove? But it's substantive for the role. However the instruction says remove legal boilerplate. I'd lean to remove that paragraph as it's legal. The hybrid work arrangement is not legal; it's a benefit. We'll keep hybrid work arrangement under Benefits. Thus Desired Qualifications will have three bullets: experience as global process owner, experience in manufacturing/complex global supply chain, SAP certification/MBA preferred. Now Benefits section: we need to combine info from Pay And Benefits and What We Offer. Pay And Benefits: "$155,000 - $183,000 per yearRoles above $150k are eligible for the variable pay program each fiscal year, based on defined business performance metrics.Factors considered in extending an offer within this pay range include (but not limited to) education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.Medical, Dental and Vision benefits effective on Day 1 of employment!
