Head of Strategic Sourcing - Corporate Services
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Include only sections with real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, "About This Role" paragraph: description of role. That's about the role. So we can have
About the role
and then a with that prose.
Then responsibilities: The "In This Role, You Will" bullet list (actually sentences separated by periods). Those are responsibilities. So we can create a
Responsibilities
and a - each bullet.
We need to extract each bullet: The text after "In This Role, You Will" includes multiple sentences each starting with a verb. Let's split:
- Lead multiple teams of Strategic Sourcing professionals responsible for highly complex, enterprise-wide sourcing strategies, negotiations, and contract execution across the Chief Operating Office, Human Resources, and Public Affairs.
- Serve as a strategic advisor and primary senior Sourcing partner to Corporate Services executives, Business leaders, and Finance partners by translating business priorities, demand, and financial objectives into actionable sourcing strategies.
- Provide strategic oversight for a portfolio of approximately $7 billion in annual spend, 3,700 annual contracts, and 170 spend categories.
- Prioritize and govern the deal pipeline, expiring contracts, category strategies, and material sourcing initiatives to align resources with business needs and enterprise priorities.
- Develop and execute category and supplier strategies that optimize expense, improve commercial outcomes, strengthen supplier performance, and support sustainable value creation.
- Lead or provide executive oversight for the most complex, high-risk, or strategically important negotiations, contract dispositions, supplier relationships, and sourcing escalations.
- Ensure sourcing and contracting activities follow applicable policies, controls, risk requirements, and regulatory expectations, with timely escalation and remediation of issues.
- Establish strong operating routines with senior Business and Finance leaders to review spend, demand, pipeline, savings, contract expirations, supplier risk, and execution performance.
- Deliver clear executive reporting and data-driven insights regarding commercial value, sourcing activity, portfolio performance, risks, and opportunities.
- Collaborate across Strategic Sourcing, Supplier Management, Legal, Risk, Compliance, Finance, Technology, and other Supply Chain Management teams to resolve complex issues and achieve enterprise objectives.
- Manage the allocation of people and financial resources, balance onshore and offshore delivery, and ensure the organization has the capacity and capabilities required to meet portfolio demand.
- Build and sustain a high-performing, inclusive team through talent acquisition, coaching, feedback, succession planning, performance management, and leadership development.
- Lead change with integrity, sound judgment, accountability, and a strong focus on customer relationships, risk management, and execution.
That's many items.
Now "Required qualifications:" and "Desired qualifications:" sections. We need to decide which sections to map: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly.
We have "Required qualifications:" list: 10+ years of Sourcing experience, or equivalent experience demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, or education. 4+ years of management or leadership experience.
We have "Desired qualifications:" list: many bullet points.
We could put required qualifications under Requirements heading, and desired qualifications under Qualifications heading (or Skills). But we also have skills list within desired qualifications (like communication, presentation skills, etc). Might split: Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = desired qualifications (maybe includes experience and skills). Skills could be extracted from desired qualifications that are skill-based: e.g., Strong knowledge..., Executive-level relationship management skills..., Ability to connect..., Demonstrated ability..., Excellent communication..., Strong judgment..., Experience developing leaders..., Virtual leadership experience... Might be better to put all desired qualifications under Qualifications and maybe Skills separate if we want. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine desired qualifications and skills into Qualifications section, and not create a separate Skills section unless we have distinct skill list.
We also have "Job expectations:" includes Travel as needed, Ability to work from an approved location and meet applicable in-office expectations, Hybrid Schedule - 3 days in the office, 2 remote, Location: Charlotte, NC, Relocation available, Pay Range..., Benefits..., Posting End Date..., etc.
We need to extract Pay and Schedule and Benefits sections if they have specific content.
Pay: "$185,000.00 - $300,000.00" plus note about Pay may vary etc. That's specific enough to create Pay section.
Schedule: "Hybrid Schedule - 3 days in the office, 2 remote". That's specific.
Benefits: list of benefits: Health benefits, 401(k) Plan, Paid time off, Disability benefits, Life insurance, critical illness insurance, and accident insurance, Parental leave, Critical caregiving leave, Discounts and savings, Commuter benefits, Tuition reimbursement, Scholarships for dependent children, Adoption reimbursement. That's specific.
We should not include boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We also have "Location: Charlotte, NC" and "Relocation available". Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in prescribed headings. Could fold into About the role paragraph or maybe a short p under About the role. Since we have no heading for Location, we can include it in About the role paragraph.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce:

The role is responsible for aligning sourcing strategies and execution with business priorities, delivering commercial value, managing supplier and operational risk, and strengthening the partnership between Strategic Sourcing, Business Teams, Finance, and other key stakeholders. The Head of Corporate Services Strategic Sourcing must be a proactive, visible strategic advisor to the most senior line of business executives. This leader must have the gravitas and deep business acumen required to be valued as a trusted advisor to the COO, HR, Public Affairs/Marketing business executives. She/he must anticipate market changes and must act with a sense of urgency. This leader must direct the operations of the corporate services sourcing team to be responsive and adjust approaches to be right-sized based on risk & urgency. This leader must achieve a "seat at the table" with LOB leadership to have line of sight of their budget and functional priorities. Strategic Sourcing has recently launched a robust new capability around category management along with a new operating model. We are also leveraging several AI-enabled and orchestration solutions to streamline and enhance our sourcing processes. Successful candidates will demonstrate their ability to successfully drive transformation initiatives within their sourcing teams. In This Role, You Will Lead multiple teams of Strategic Sourcing professionals responsible for highly complex, enterprise-wide sourcing strategies, negotiations, and contract execution across the Chief Operating Office, Human Resources, and Public Affairs.Serve as a strategic advisor and primary senior Sourcing partner to Corporate Services executives, Business leaders, and Finance partners by translating business priorities, demand, and financial objectives into actionable sourcing strategies.Provide strategic oversight for a portfolio of approximately $7 billion in annual spend, 3,700 annual contracts, and 170 spend categories.Prioritize and govern the deal pipeline, expiring contracts, category strategies, and material sourcing initiatives to align resources with business needs and enterprise priorities.Develop and execute category and supplier strategies that optimize expense, improve commercial outcomes, strengthen supplier performance, and support sustainable value creation.Lead or provide executive oversight for the most complex, high-risk, or strategically important negotiations, contract dispositions, supplier relationships, and sourcing escalations.Ensure sourcing and contracting activities follow applicable policies, controls, risk requirements, and regulatory expectations, with timely escalation and remediation of issues.Establish strong operating routines with senior Business and Finance leaders to review spend, demand, pipeline, savings, contract expirations, supplier risk, and execution performance.Deliver clear executive reporting and data-driven insights regarding commercial value, sourcing activity, portfolio performance, risks, and opportunities.Collaborate across Strategic Sourcing, Supplier Management, Legal, Risk, Compliance, Finance, Technology, and other Supply Chain Management teams to resolve complex issues and achieve enterprise objectives.Manage the allocation of people and financial resources, balance onshore and offshore delivery, and ensure the organization has the capacity and capabilities required to meet portfolio demand.Build and sustain a high-performing, inclusive team through talent acquisition, coaching, feedback, succession planning, performance management, and leadership development.Lead change with integrity, sound judgment, accountability, and a strong focus on customer relationships, risk management, and execution.
But note we duplicated the "In This Role, You Will" sentences inside the About paragraph; we should separate responsibilities. Actually we should not include the responsibilities inside About paragraph; we should keep About paragraph only the initial description before "In This Role, You Will". Then responsibilities separate.
Thus About paragraph: up to "Successful candidates will demonstrate their ability to successfully drive transformation initiatives within their sourcing teams." That's the end of the first paragraph before "In This Role, You Will". Let's extract that.

That's the About paragraph.
Now responsibilities: the list after "In This Role, You Will". We'll output each as - .
Now Requirements: required qualifications.
We need to format as list.
Required qualifications:
- 10+ years of Sourcing experience, or equivalent experience demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, or education.
- 4+ years of management or leadership experience
We could also note that "or equivalent experience demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, or education." That's part of the first bullet.
Now Qualifications: desired qualifications list. That's a long list.
