We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. First, job title: Junior Buyer/Planner (not to be repeated as heading). We need sections. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "At BETA Technologies, we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture. We are seeking a Junior Buyer/Planner to join our New Product Introduction and Contracting team. In this role, you will help ensure materials and services are available to support new product development and production. You will work closely with suppliers and internal teams to place and manage purchase orders, track material availability, resolve supply issues, and keep stakeholders informed. This role is a strong fit for someone who is organized, curious, communicative, and eager to learn procurement and supply-chain fundamentals in a fast-moving manufacturing environment." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" heading. Next: "How You Will Contribute To Revolutionizing Electric Aviation" then bullet list: Preparing purchase orders or bid requests; entering data for purchase ordersTracking, maintaining, and updating purchase orders based on changes to timing, cost, financials, or other updates.Conferring with vendors to obtain product or service information such as price, availability, and delivery scheduleReviewing requisitions and bid proposals; negotiating contracts within budgetary limitations and scope of authority; purchasing suppliesInterfacing with all departments, and resolving problems and issuesTracking material shortages for work-orders, kits, and sub-assemblies based on bill-of-material or drawings, facilitate alternate solutions where material supply doesn’t support These are responsibilities. So "Responsibilities" heading with
  • . Next: "Minimum Qualifications" list: Comfortable with frequent change of direction, dynamic work environment, and passion to perform under pressure1 year of related experience and/or training, or an equivalent combination of education and experienceExperience managing Supplier relationships, inventory management, and understanding of basic principles of procurement practicesMicrosoft suite experience- outlook, teams, word, excel, PowerPoint, etc.Strong communication and presentation skillsStrong background in problem-solving and leadershipDemonstrated understanding of an ERP system. Experience with Epicor, SAP, Plex, or Oracle will prepare for success.Strong ability to perform both as a part of a team and to perform as an individual These are qualifications/requirements. Could be "Requirements" heading. Next: "Above And Beyond Qualifications": Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, business, operations, engineering, manufacturing, or a related field.Plex ERP ExperienceInternship, co-op, project, coursework, or other hands-on experience related to procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, or operations.Exposure to rapid manufacturing growth and preferably startup experience These could be "Qualifications" or "Skills"? The instruction says we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping. We have Minimum Qualifications (requirements) and Above And Beyond Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Could combine into "Requirements" and "Qualifications"? Or "Skills"? Let's think. We have "Skills" maybe for Microsoft suite, communication, problem solving, leadership, ERP understanding. Those are skills. Better: Use "Requirements" for minimum qualifications (experience, etc). Use "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications (degree, Plex ERP, internship, startup exposure). Use "Skills" for specific skillset: Microsoft suite, communication, presentation, problem solving, leadership, ERP understanding. But we also have "Benefits": later: "Build electric airplanes with us! BETA offers a competitive Total Compensation package designed to support you now and as you grow with us. This role includes both Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units for all full-time team members, so everyone shares in our success. You’ll have access to onsite healthcare in Vermont, comprehensive medical coverage, dental and vision, short- and long-term disability, and paid parental leave. We also take care of the everyday details with daily lunch provided, and yes—flight lessons are part of the experience, along with a range of additional perks that make work here genuinely rewarding." Also "Pay": "Compensation $75,000—$85,000 USD". Also earlier: "The wage listed here reflects our best faith estimate for this role. We pay competitively and base compensation on a variety of factors including skills, experience, industry background, and the evolving needs of the role. We remain committed to fair and equitable pay and we're happy to discuss during the interview process." Thus we have Pay section with salary range. Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule heading. Benefits: we have details. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Remove those lines at end. Also remove "We encourage all driven candidates to apply, even if they do not meet every listed qualification." That's maybe okay but it's generic; but it's not boilerplate? It's encouraging to apply; could be considered fluff but not prohibited. However we might keep it? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The line "We encourage all driven candidates to apply, even if they do not meet every listed qualification." is not exactly EEO but it's encouraging to apply; could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but encourages. Safer to remove? It's not a legal boilerplate; but it's generic fluff. Might be okay to keep but we can drop to keep concise. Also remove "Employment offers are contingent upon the successful completion of a background check. BETA Technologies participates in E-Verify." That's legal boilerplate; remove. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Structure:

    We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece precisely. About the role paragraph: combine the intro sentences into one or two paragraphs. We'll keep as one

    . Let's copy: "At BETA Technologies, we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture. We are seeking a Junior Buyer/Planner to join our New Product Introduction and Contracting team. In this role, you will help ensure materials and services are available to support new product development and production. You will work closely with suppliers and internal teams to place and manage purchase orders, track material availability, resolve supply issues, and keep stakeholders informed. This role is a strong fit for someone who is organized, curious, communicative, and eager to learn procurement and supply-chain fundamentals in a fast-moving manufacturing environment." That's the about. Now Responsibilities: list each duty. From "How You Will Contribute To Revolutionizing Electric Aviation" we have a series of statements separated by semicolons and maybe missing punctuation. Let's split: - Preparing purchase orders or bid requests; entering data for purchase orders - Tracking, maintaining, and updating purchase orders based on changes to timing, cost, financials, or other updates. - Conferring with vendors to obtain product or service information such as price, availability, and delivery schedule - Reviewing requisitions and bid proposals; negotiating contracts within budgetary limitations and scope of authority; purchasing supplies - Interfacing with all departments, and resolving problems and issues - Tracking material shortages for work-orders, kits, and sub-assemblies based on bill-of-material or drawings, facilitate alternate solutions where material supply doesn’t support We need to ensure each is a separate

  • . Also note there may be missing punctuation but we keep as is. Now Requirements (minimum qualifications): list each bullet. From "Minimum Qualifications" we have: - Comfortable with frequent change of direction, dynamic work environment, and passion to perform under pressure - 1 year of related experience and/or training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience - Experience managing Supplier relationships, inventory management, and understanding of basic principles of procurement practices - Microsoft suite experience- outlook, teams, word, excel, PowerPoint, etc. - Strong communication and presentation skills - Strong background in problem-solving and leadership - Demonstrated understanding of an ERP system. Experience with Epicor, SAP, Plex, or Oracle will prepare for success. - Strong ability to perform both as a part of a team and to perform as an individual We need to keep each as
  • . Note some have periods inside; keep. Now Qualifications (above and beyond): list: - Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, business, operations, engineering, manufacturing, or a related field. - Plex ERP Experience - Internship, co-op, project, coursework, or other hands-on experience related to procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, or operations. - Exposure to rapid manufacturing growth and preferably startup experience Now Skills: maybe we could extract from the minimum qualifications the skill items: Microsoft suite experience, strong communication and presentation skills, strong background in problem-solving and leadership, demonstrated understanding of an ERP system (experience with Epicor, SAP, Plex, or Oracle). But those are already in Requirements. However we could still have a Skills section for those specific skillsets. But we risk duplication. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have both minimum and preferred qualifications; we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills could be omitted if we already covered. However we have a separate Skills section in allowed list; we could include if we have distinct skill content not covered elsewhere. The minimum qualifications already include communication, problem-solving, leadership, ERP understanding, Microsoft suite. Those are skills. So we could put those under Skills and keep Requirements for experience/education. Let's think. We have: - Experience: 1 year related experience, managing supplier relationships, inventory management. - Education: not in minimum; but in above and beyond we have degree. Thus we could have: Requirements: experience and maybe core competencies (managing supplier relationships, inventory management, understanding procurement practices). Skills: Microsoft suite, communication, presentation, problem-solving, leadership, ERP understanding. Qualifications: degree, Plex ERP experience, internship/co-op, startup exposure. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide to have three sections: Requirements (experience), Skills (technical/soft skills), Qualifications (education & preferred). That seems reasonable. Let's extract: Requirements (experience-based): - 1 year of related experience and/or training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience - Experience managing Supplier relationships, inventory management, and understanding of basic principles of procurement practices Maybe also "Comfortable with frequent change of direction, dynamic work environment, and passion to perform under pressure" could be a skill or requirement; it's more of a trait. Could go under Skills as "Adaptable to frequent change and dynamic work environment". But we can keep under Requirements as a trait. Better
