Information Technology$101k–$121k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview (maybe as

Overview?), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay (if present). The posting includes: Overview paragraph after first line? Actually first paragraph: "An extraordinarily talented group..." then "Overview The Network and Capacity Planner is responsible..." So we can treat Overview as a heading. Responsibilities: there is a "Responsibilities" heading with bullet points. Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications" heading with subheadings Required Qualifications, Experience, Technical Skills, Preferred Qualifications. We need to preserve all substantive info. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

    . We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove immigration sponsorship line? That's substantive? It says immigration sponsorship not available. That's info about visa sponsorship; maybe keep? It's not boilerplate? It's a specific statement about sponsorship. Probably keep as part of Qualifications? It's a note. Could be placed in a

    under Qualifications. Pay: The posting includes salary range: "For US candidates, we anticipate paying $101,000 - $121,000 annually." Also note about compensation range estimate. So we should include Pay section with that info. Benefits: "TNS offers a competitive benefits package, including medical and dental coverage, life insurance, paid holidays and vacations, and a 401(k) plan with company match." So Benefits section. Schedule: Not mentioned, so omit. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we capture all substantive info. Structure:

    Overview

    ... (the overview paragraph)

    Responsibilities

    • ... each bullet

    Qualifications

    Maybe we can break into Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as subheadings? But instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid subheadings, but we should use

    for sections. Could have

    Required Qualifications

    and

    Preferred Qualifications

    as sub-sections under Qualifications? But they'd be headings too. Might be okay to have multiple

    sections. However they said "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So they expect those as possible headings. We can still use

    for Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as they are sub-sections of Qualifications. But maybe better to keep a single Qualifications section with paragraphs and lists. We need to preserve all details: Required Qualifications: Experience, Strong communication..., Knowledge..., Experience with one or more of the following disciplines... Technical Skills: Ability to analyze..., Ability to conceptualize..., Ability to coordinate... Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree..., Project or program management experience..., Experience managing contracts..., Experience interacting with Nlyte..., Immigration sponsorship note. We can format Required Qualifications as
    • ... each bullet
    . Similarly Technical Skills as list. Preferred Qualifications as list. We need to avoid repeating "Experience" heading inside Qualifications? The posting has "Required Qualifications Experience Experience in the IT industry..." Actually it's weird: "Required Qualifications Experience Experience in the IT industry..." Probably a duplication. We'll capture the content: "Experience in the IT industry supporting data center design, data center operations, capacity management, or in a delivery project management role." Then "Strong communication, documentation, organization, and stakeholder management skills." Then "Knowledge of telecommunications network design principles, IP network design concepts, traffic engineering, and equipment capacity planning." Then "Experience with one or more of the following disciplines: data center design, power delivery systems, and capacity management." Technical Skills: list three abilities. Preferred Qualifications: list four items plus immigration sponsorship note. We'll also include a note about immigration sponsorship as a

    maybe. Now Benefits: list items. Pay: include the range and note about estimate. We must not include boilerplate like "TNS is an equal opportunity employer." etc. Remove that. Also remove "Waypoint Trading Solutions, a TNS business, provides global financial institutions..." maybe that's substantive? It's description of company; could keep as part of Overview? It's after the qualifications. Might be considered boilerplate? It's describing the business; maybe keep as part of Overview or a separate "About the company" but not requested. Could include as a paragraph under Overview? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that description. It's after the qualifications and before EEO. So we can add a paragraph after Qualifications maybe as part of Overview or a separate "About the company" but we don't have a heading for that. Could just add a

    after Qualifications before Benefits. Let's capture that sentence: "Waypoint Trading Solutions, a TNS business, provides global financial institutions with fast, reliable access to the destinations and data they need, helping firms navigate complexity with transparency." Also there is a motivational paragraph: "If you are passionate about technology, love personal growth and opportunity, come see what TNS is all about!" That's also substantive; keep. Thus after Qualifications we can have a

    with that motivational line and the Waypoint description. Now Benefits and Pay. Let's craft HTML. We'll start with Overview heading. Overview paragraph: "An extraordinarily talented group of individuals work together every day to drive TNS' success, from both professional and personal perspectives. Come join the excellence! The Network and Capacity Planner is responsible for supporting infrastructure growth, capacity management, colocation coordination, rack procurement, vendor engagement, and operational workflow execution across the Waypoint Trading Solutions infrastructure environment. This role combines network and capacity planning disciplines with hands-on program coordination to ensure space, power, rack, PDU, switch port, and colocation resources are planned, tracked, and delivered in alignment with business demand. The position serves as a primary coordinator for Waypoint growth initiatives and related integration activities, working closely with Engineering, Operations, Sales, Product, Procurement, Finance, Legal, vendors, and colocation providers to support infrastructure readiness, contract execution, and project tracking." We need to keep the exclamation etc. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet. We need to extract bullet points from the responsibilities section. Responsibilities block: "Key Responsibilities Capacity Planning Management Assist senior planning resources in developing and maintaining Capacity Management Plans for data center power and space, and network switch port availability for Waypoint products and services.Build, maintain, and enhance reporting used to support capacity management, infrastructure forecasting, utilization tracking, and leadership review.Analyze demand trends, sales pipelines, and infrastructure utilization to forecast capacity exhaustion and recommend proactive augmentations. Lifecycle & Inventory Management Manage inventory tracking for data center hardware, with a focus on network switching infrastructure availability and lead times.Monitor warehouse min/max levels for BAU parts and collaborate on reporting improvements.Work with the Facilities team to ensure contract inventories, renewal schedules, and vendor records are documented and managed appropriately.Support analysis and activities regarding service contract renewals and EOL milestones for network switching infrastructure. Infrastructure Deployment Management Support Waypoint growth initiatives and network expansion activities, including vendor deliverables and overall physical site readiness.Partner with Legal, Procurement, Finance, Product, Engineering, Operations, and Sales throughout procurement and infrastructure deployment activities.Track infrastructure expansion projects, rack acquisition, network switch allocations, deployment milestones, migration dependencies, and escalation items. Streamline Hosting Onboarding Activities Manage Waypoint-related Nlyte and Salesforce work order activities, ensuring all changes are accurately documented, completed, and escalated as needed.Identify opportunities to improve workflows, reporting, documentation quality, automation, and reduce operational handoffs.Provide regular updates, capacity summaries, risks, issues, and recommendations to leadership and stakeholders." We need to split into sensible bullet points. Could group by sections: Capacity Planning Management, Lifecycle & Inventory Management, Infrastructure Deployment Management, Streamline Hosting Onboarding Activities. We'll create bullet points for each major responsibility. Let's craft: - Assist senior planning resources in developing and maintaining Capacity Management Plans for data center power and space, and network switch port availability for Waypoint products and services; build, maintain, and enhance reporting used to support capacity management, infrastructure forecasting, utilization tracking, and leadership review; analyze demand trends, sales pipelines, and infrastructure utilization to forecast capacity exhaustion and recommend proactive augmentations. - Manage inventory tracking for data center hardware, focusing on network switching infrastructure availability and lead times; monitor warehouse min/max levels for BAU parts and collaborate on reporting improvements; work with Facilities to ensure contract inventories, renewal schedules, and vendor records are documented and managed appropriately; support analysis and activities regarding service contract renewals and EOL milestones for network switching infrastructure. - Support Waypoint growth initiatives and network expansion activities, including vendor deliverables and overall physical site readiness; partner with Legal, Procurement, Finance, Product, Engineering, Operations, and Sales throughout procurement and infrastructure deployment activities; track infrastructure expansion projects, rack acquisition, network switch allocations, deployment milestones, migration dependencies, and escalation items. - Manage Waypoint-related Nlyte and Salesforce work order activities, ensuring all changes are accurately documented, completed, and escalated as needed; identify opportunities to improve workflows, reporting, documentation quality, automation, and reduce operational handoffs; provide regular updates, capacity summaries, risks, issues, and recommendations to leadership and stakeholders. That seems good. Now Qualifications section. We'll have

    Qualifications

    then maybe sub-sections? But we can just have paragraphs and lists. We'll do:

    Required Qualifications

    • Experience in the IT industry supporting data center design, data center operations, capacity management, or in a delivery project management role.
    • Strong communication, documentation, organization, and stakeholder management skills.
    • Knowledge of telecommunications network design principles, IP network design concepts, traffic engineering, and equipment capacity planning.
    • Experience with one or more of the following disciplines: data center design, power delivery systems, and capacity management.

    Technical Skills

    • Ability to analyze utilization data, business demand trends, sales pipelines, and infrastructure constraints.
    • Ability to conceptualize and build reports, and document requirements for new reports or enhancements.
    • Ability to coordinate multiple workstreams, vendors, internal teams, and business expansion priorities in a fast-paced environment.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Telecommunications, Information Technology, Engineering, Project Management, or a related field, or equivalent certifications, education, or demonstrated work experience.
    • Project or program management experience supporting cross-functional technical initiatives within the financial trading community.
    • Experience managing contracts, vendor relationships, colocation providers, or infrastructure procurement activities.
    • Experience interacting with Nlyte or an equivalent DCIM tool, Salesforce, project management tools, and inventory management systems.

    Immigration sponsorship (i.e., H-1B visa, F-1 visa (OPT), TN visa, or any other non-immigrant status) is not currently available for this position.

    Now after that we have the Waypoint description and motivational line. We'll add a

    with both sentences: "Waypoint Trading Solutions, a TNS business, provides global financial institutions with fast, reliable access to the destinations and data they need, helping firms navigate complexity with transparency. If you are passionate about technology, love personal growth and opportunity, come see what TNS is all about!" Now Benefits section:
