International Freight Pricing & Procurement Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content accordingly.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have:
- Who We Are: description of company, core values, etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about company, not role. Could be "About the role"? Might be better to use "About the role" for position summary. But we have both "Who We Are" and "POSITION SUMMARY". We could combine into "About the role" maybe includes position summary and company overview? However instructions: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose headings that match content.
We have:
- Who We Are: company description. Could be "About the company"? Not in list but we could still use for any heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to use those headings where applicable.
We have:
- POSITION SUMMARY: could be "About the role".
- DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: "Responsibilities".
- BENCHMARKS FOR MEASURING SUCCESS: maybe could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications? Not exactly. Could be omitted or included under Responsibilities? It's specific success metrics. Could be its own section but not in list. Might be better to include under Responsibilities as a list? But we should not invent sections with filler. Could create a section "Performance Benchmarks" but not in list. Might be okay to omit? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could incorporate benchmarks into Responsibilities as part of duties.
- SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS: we have Technical Skills, Business Skills, Leadership Skills, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications. This maps to "Skills" and "Qualifications". Could split: "Skills" for technical/business/leadership, "Qualifications" for required/preferred.
- OFFICE / WORK ENVIRONMENT & PHYSICAL DEMANDS: could be "Schedule"? Not exactly. Could be omitted or maybe under "Schedule"? Not appropriate. Could be omitted as not in list but we could still include as a section with heading like "Work Environment". But instruction says use those headings e.g., but not limited to? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we could still use other headings but better to stick to those. Work environment not in list; maybe we can omit as not required. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop details. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could put under "Skills"? No. Could create a section "Work Environment" but not in list; risk of violating instruction? The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, just gives examples. So we can use "Work Environment". But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine office environment with something else? Could put under "About the role"? Not ideal.
Better to create a section "Work Environment" with . It's substantive.
We also have travel requirement: 10%-20% travel. That could be part of Work Environment or Schedule. Since we have Schedule heading, we could put travel under Schedule. But schedule usually refers to work hours. Travel is not schedule. Could still put under Work Environment.
We also have EEO boilerplate which we must remove.
We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
Thus we strip out the EEO lines.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information: Who We Are, Position Summary, Duties & Responsibilities, Benchmarks for Measuring Success, Skills & Qualifications (Technical, Business, Leadership, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications), Office/Work Environment & Physical Demands, Travel Requirement.
We need to format as HTML fragment: use for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "International Freight Pricing & Procurement Manager". Not to be used as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present).
Now craft sections:
1. About the role (or Who We Are + Position Summary). Could split: "About the company" and "About the role". But we have limited headings. Let's do:
-
About the role
: include Position Summary paragraph.
- About Mohawk Global
: include Who We Are paragraph.
But "About Mohawk Global" not in examples but okay.
Alternatively combine both into one "About the role" that includes company description? Might be mixing.
Better to keep separate sections: "About Mohawk Global" and "About the role". Both are substantive.
2. Responsibilities: Responsibilities
with - list of duties.
We need to include all duties from DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES list.
Also include Benchmarks for Measuring Success maybe as part of Responsibilities? Could add as separate
Success Metrics
but not in list. Could incorporate as list items under Responsibilities.
Better to add a separate section "Performance Benchmarks" with Performance Benchmarks
and list.
But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding another section may be thin but still substantive. Could combine benchmarks into Responsibilities as additional list items.
Let's examine the benchmarks: They are specific goals: Integration of current procurement landscape into a managed rate warehoused environment; Negotiation of new consolidator contracts on import side of LCL business; Development of company wide tool for delivery of contract pricing across different modes and origins; Incorporating dynamic LCL pricing into the client rate sheets; Incorporating dynamic air freight pricing into the client rate sheets.
These are like responsibilities/objectives. So we can add them as list items under Responsibilities.
Thus Responsibilities section will have a combined list of duties and benchmarks.
3. Skills: Skills
with - for Technical Skills, Business Skills, Leadership Skills.
We need to preserve the bullet points under each subheading. Could flatten: each bullet as
- . But we might lose grouping. Could keep subheadings as
or inside - ? The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. For skills, we have subcategories; we could treat each subcategory as a
heading then list. But that might be extra headings. Could just list all skills as
- items, preserving the detail.
We need to include: Technical Skills: Experience with rate management platforms of any kind. Strong Microsoft Excel experience required, familiarity with Power BI will be helpful but not required. Should be comfortable using large Excel-based data sets and analyzing them.
Business Skills: Must have experience with ocean freight contracting, with additional consideration given if experience in the negotiation side, as well. Must have strong understanding of ocean freight dynamics, including experience in Trans-Pacific, Trans-Atlantic and India Sub-Continent trade lanes. Strong understanding of ocean carriers, alliance orientation and service strings. Additional experience in an air freight environment would be helpful, but not required.
Leadership Skills: Ability to provide leadership and mentoring to a small team of Pricing Analysts (1-2 people).
We can break each sentence into separate
- items.
4. Qualifications:
Qualifications
with Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as list items.
Required: 5+ years in NVOCC / Freight Forwarding or similar industry roles. 2+ years direct experience in client quoting or freight procurement roles. 1+ years working with rate management systems, either third party or proprietary.
Preferred: 7+ years in NVOCC / Freight Forwarding or similar industry roles. 3+ years direct experience in client quoting or freight procurement roles. 2+ years working with rate management systems, either third party or proprietary.
We can list each as - .
5. Work Environment:
Work Environment
with prose describing office/remote, noise level, office equipment, sedentary role, lifting under 25 pounds, bend, stand, walk short distances. Also travel requirement: 10%-20% travel to meet with ocean carriers, visit Mohawk’s Syracuse, NY HQ and attend conferences and other industry events.
We can combine into one
or multiple
. Use
for prose.
We must not include EEO boilerplate.
Now ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML fragment.

- for lists,
for prose. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "International Freight Pricing & Procurement Manager". Not to be used as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). Now craft sections: 1. About the role (or Who We Are + Position Summary). Could split: "About the company" and "About the role". But we have limited headings. Let's do: -
About the role
: include Position Summary paragraph. -About Mohawk Global
: include Who We Are paragraph. But "About Mohawk Global" not in examples but okay. Alternatively combine both into one "About the role" that includes company description? Might be mixing. Better to keep separate sections: "About Mohawk Global" and "About the role". Both are substantive. 2. Responsibilities:Responsibilities
with- list of duties.
We need to include all duties from DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES list.
Also include Benchmarks for Measuring Success maybe as part of Responsibilities? Could add as separate
Success Metrics
but not in list. Could incorporate as list items under Responsibilities. Better to add a separate section "Performance Benchmarks" withPerformance Benchmarks
and list. But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding another section may be thin but still substantive. Could combine benchmarks into Responsibilities as additional list items. Let's examine the benchmarks: They are specific goals: Integration of current procurement landscape into a managed rate warehoused environment; Negotiation of new consolidator contracts on import side of LCL business; Development of company wide tool for delivery of contract pricing across different modes and origins; Incorporating dynamic LCL pricing into the client rate sheets; Incorporating dynamic air freight pricing into the client rate sheets. These are like responsibilities/objectives. So we can add them as list items under Responsibilities. Thus Responsibilities section will have a combined list of duties and benchmarks. 3. Skills:Skills
with- for Technical Skills, Business Skills, Leadership Skills. We need to preserve the bullet points under each subheading. Could flatten: each bullet as
- . But we might lose grouping. Could keep subheadings as
or inside
- ? The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. For skills, we have subcategories; we could treat each subcategory as a
heading then list. But that might be extra headings. Could just list all skills as
- items, preserving the detail. We need to include: Technical Skills: Experience with rate management platforms of any kind. Strong Microsoft Excel experience required, familiarity with Power BI will be helpful but not required. Should be comfortable using large Excel-based data sets and analyzing them. Business Skills: Must have experience with ocean freight contracting, with additional consideration given if experience in the negotiation side, as well. Must have strong understanding of ocean freight dynamics, including experience in Trans-Pacific, Trans-Atlantic and India Sub-Continent trade lanes. Strong understanding of ocean carriers, alliance orientation and service strings. Additional experience in an air freight environment would be helpful, but not required. Leadership Skills: Ability to provide leadership and mentoring to a small team of Pricing Analysts (1-2 people). We can break each sentence into separate
- items.
4. Qualifications:

with Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as list items. Required: 5+ years in NVOCC / Freight Forwarding or similar industry roles. 2+ years direct experience in client quoting or freight procurement roles. 1+ years working with rate management systems, either third party or proprietary.

Also travel requirement: 10%-20% travel to meet with ocean carriers, visit Mohawk’s Syracuse, NY HQ and attend conferences and other industry events. We can combine into one

for prose. We must not include EEO boilerplate. Now ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:
