International Freight Pricing & Procurement Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Who We Are" (company description) and "POSITION SUMMARY". The instructions: 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. Do NOT put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, etc). Include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: maybe "About the company" (Who We Are) could be under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; we have "POSITION SUMMARY". Could map to "About the role". Then responsibilities: "DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES". Then "SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS" could be split into Skills and Qualifications. Also "BENCHMARKS FOR MEASURING SUCCESS" maybe could be under Responsibilities? But it's specific metrics; maybe we can include as a separate section like "Success Metrics" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list is examples; we can use other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings where appropriate. Could also add other headings if needed but better to stick to those. So we need to map content: - About the role: could include POSITION SUMMARY and maybe Who We Are? Actually Who We Are is about company, not role. Could be "About the company" but not in list. Might omit Who We Are? It's substantive info about company; maybe we can include under "About the role" as a brief intro? But instructions: do not repeat job title as heading; we can have a section "About the role" containing position summary and maybe company overview. That seems okay. - Responsibilities: DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES. - Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or we could combine Required and Preferred under Qualifications. - Skills: SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS includes technical, business, leadership skills. Could be Skills section. - Benefits: none given (no benefits). So omit. - Pay: none given (salary range only generic guideline, but we should not include Pay section because it's not specific; it's a generic guideline and we should not create Pay unless posting actually states them. It says salary range referenced is a general guideline only. That's not a specific salary. So we should not include Pay. - Schedule: none given (maybe travel requirement). Travel is not schedule. Could be under Responsibilities? Not needed. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also Requirements (but we can merge Required Qualifications into Qualifications). Let's decide: Section headings:

About the role

POSITION SUMMARY content + Who We Are? Might be too long but okay.

Responsibilities

list of duties.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? Could separate into Required and Preferred but we can list both.

Skills

Technical Skills, Business Skills, Leadership Skills. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet point exactly as in posting? We can rephrase? Must preserve all substantive information; we can keep the same wording but maybe shorten? Safer to keep the exact sentences.

... etc. We must not include Pay/Benefits/Schedule. Now produce final HTML fragment. Check that we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. We omitted office/work environment? That's substantive but not in allowed headings; we could include under a section like "Work Environment" but not in list. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could we incorporate office/work environment into About the role or Responsibilities? It's not exactly role but could be added as a paragraph under About the role maybe. However it's about work environment; maybe we can add a short paragraph under About the role after position summary. That would preserve info. Let's add a paragraph after position summary about office/work environment and travel. Thus About the role will have three paragraphs: company description, position summary, work environment/travel. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: Benchmarks for measuring success - we omitted. That's substantive. Should we include? Could be part of Responsibilities or a separate section like "Success Metrics". Since not in allowed headings, maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities as additional bullet points? They are benchmarks for measuring success, not duties. Could be added as a separate section "Performance Expectations" but not in list. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could add a section "Success Metrics" as

Success Metrics

but that's not in the examples; but the instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role,
