On Premise Distribution Manager
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Need to include only sections with real content. The posting includes description of role (About the role), responsibilities (many bullet points), requirements (education, experience), qualifications (maybe same as requirements), skills (list of knowledge/expertise), benefits, pay (salary range). No schedule mentioned. So we include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). Also remove duplicated lines. Need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting and extract sections.

We need to separate requirements vs qualifications vs skills. The posting lumps many items. We'll interpret:
Requirements: Bachelor's degree required, 5+ years sales experience in CPG/FMCG/foodservice (beverage preferred), Distributor/Supplier/Broadline distributor experience preferred.
Qualifications: Demonstrated ability to teach, develop, manage distributors; cross functional work and change management experience a plus; strong On Premise industry knowledge/experience; entrepreneurial, solution-oriented, strategic mindset; strong analytical and financial acumen; 4+ years experience displaying dynamic leadership skills to manage and motivate third party sales teams preferred; demonstrates excellence in sales with ability to teach, develop, coach others on selling skills; excellent negotiation and influencer skills; ability to influence without authority; clear and proven ability to develop and implement successful sales and trade marketing strategies; excellent communicator, including presentation skills and training ability; must be extremely proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint; employees may be required to lift/move up to 25 pounds; valid driver's license; fluent in English, additional language skills an advantage; position open to US citizens, permanent residents, or authorized to work.
Skills: maybe the list of knowledge/expertise under "Your areas of knowledge and expertise that matter most for this role:" which is basically same as qualifications. But we can treat that as Skills.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
- Requirements: education base, years experience, distributor experience.
- Qualifications: the bullet list of abilities (teach, develop, manage, cross functional, On Premise knowledge, entrepreneurial mindset, analytical/financial acumen, leadership experience, sales excellence, negotiation/influencer, ability to influence without authority, develop/implement strategies, communication/presentation/training, Excel/PowerPoint proficiency, lifting, driver's license, English fluency, language advantage, work authorization).
- Skills: maybe we can combine with qualifications; but we need a Skills section if there is distinct content. The "Your areas of knowledge and expertise that matter most for this role:" repeats many of those. Could treat that as Skills.
But to avoid duplication, we could put the list under Skills and keep Qualifications short (maybe just education and experience). However the instructions: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have all those sections. We need to decide what goes where.
