Manager, Food Safety

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Why Work for KeHE?" then pay range, shift days/time, benefits on day 1 list, overview, primary responsibilities, essential functions (duties), minimum requirements, qualifications, additional skills, aptitude (skills, knowledge, abilities), education and experience, physical requirements. Also there is an Equal Employer Opportunity Statement which is boilerplate to remove. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have real content. We have Pay Range: $80,500.00/Yr. - $128,800.00/Yr. So we can have Pay section. Shift Days: , Shift Time: (empty) - no content, so we should not create Schedule section because no specific content. Benefits: list provided: Health/Rx, Dental, Vision, Flexible and health spending accounts (FSA/HSA), Supplemental life insurance, 401(k), Paid time off, Paid sick time, Short term & long term disability coverage (STD/LTD), Employee stock ownership (ESOP), Holiday pay for company designated holidays. So Benefits section. Overview: paragraph about KeHE. Primary Responsibilities: list of duties? Actually "Primary Responsibilities" heading then a paragraph describing role. Then "Essential Functions DUTIES, TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:" then a long list of duties. We can combine into Responsibilities section with

• for each duty. Also maybe separate "Responsibilities" and "Duties"? But we should prefer few substantive sections. Could have Responsibilities section covering both the paragraph and the list. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has "Minimum Requirements, Qualifications, Additional Skills, Aptitude" then subheadings: SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES; EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE; PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS. We can map to sections: Requirements (maybe combine minimum requirements), Qualifications (education/experience), Skills (skills, knowledge, abilities). Physical requirements maybe could be part of Requirements or separate? But we have no specific heading for Physical Requirements in allowed list; we could put under Requirements or maybe omit if not needed? But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include Physical Requirements under a section like "Requirements" or maybe create a separate section not in allowed list? The instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate; we can also use other headings? It says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should restrict to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings. Thus we can have:

  About the role

  (overview paragraph)

  Responsibilities

  (list of duties)

  Requirements

  (maybe physical requirements? but also maybe minimum requirements? Actually "Minimum Requirements, Qualifications, Additional Skills, Aptitude" includes many items. We could split: Requirements = physical requirements? But we also have Qualifications = education/experience. Skills = skills, knowledge, abilities. Thus:

  Requirements

  -> physical requirements (lifting, standing, etc.)

  Qualifications

  -> education and experience (minimum five years experience, associate's degree, etc.)

  Skills

  -> skills, knowledge and abilities list. We also need Benefits and Pay sections. We should not include Schedule because no specifics. We should remove boilerplate: Equal Employer Opportunity Statement. Also remove "Why Work for KeHE?" maybe that's part of About the role? We'll keep overview. We need to preserve all substantive information: pay range, benefits list, overview paragraph, responsibilities paragraph and duty list, skills list, education/experience list, physical requirements. Let's extract details. Overview paragraph: "Good people, working with good people, for our common good. Sound good? KeHE-a natural, organic, specialty and fresh food distributor-is all about "good" and is growing, so there's never been a more exciting time to join our team. If you're enthusiastic about working in an environment with a people-first culture and an organization committed to good living, good food and good service, we'd love to talk to you!" We'll put that in

  . Responsibilities: There's a paragraph: "The Manager, Food Safety and Quality Assurance develops and maintains a strong food safety and quality culture throughout the Distribution Center. The Manager develops initiatives to implement, track, and deliver on KeHE food safety and quality measures with a continuous improvement mindset. The Manager collaborates with the operations teams to ensure best-in-class food safety and quality at all times. As with all positions at KeHE Distributors, we expect that all actions will be consistent with KeHE’s Mission, Vision, and Values." Then after "Essential Functions DUTIES, TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:" we have a list of duties (each sentence ends with period). We'll turn each into
