Information TechnologyFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about HAVI and role. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: description (maybe About the role). Responsibilities listed. Requirements listed. Benefits described. Pay: Starting Salary $85,000-$98,000 with a 5% targeted bonus. Schedule: hybrid role based at address, must reside in Chicago metro area, relocation assistance not offered. That's schedule info? It mentions hybrid work model. So we can include Schedule section with hybrid work model and location. Also maybe Qualifications? The requirements already cover qualifications; we could combine but we need separate sections only if content. We have Requirements (education, experience). Could also have Skills (technical skills). The posting includes many skill items: SQL, Excel, Power BI, etc. Could put under Skills. Qualifications maybe duplicate. Let's decide: Use sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Avoid Qualifications if redundant. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, recruiting agencies, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "For more information, please visit HAVI.com." That's maybe okay but it's not substantive? It's generic; could be omitted. Keep substantive info: company description maybe part of About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, schedule. Let's extract: About the role: The paragraph: "HAVI is a global, privately owned company focused on innovating, optimizing and managing the supply chains of leading brands. Offering services in marketing analytics, packaging, supply chain management and logistics, HAVI partners with companies to address challenges big and small across the supply chain, from commodity to customer. Founded in 1974, HAVI employs more than 10,000 people and serves customers in more than 100 countries. For more information, please visit HAVI.com." Then role description: "The Advanced Planning System Specialist is responsible for supporting forecasting, replenishment, and planning operations by maintaining planning system configurations, reviewing the integrity of planning data, and executing planning processes that enable accurate and reliable supply chain outcomes. This role partners closely with Planning, Product, Tech, and customer-facing teams to support demand planning, inventory availability, replenishment performance, and continuous improvement initiatives. This is a hybrid role based at 345 N Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60607. Candidates must reside in the Chicago metropolitan area. Relocation assistance is not offered at this time." We could split: About the role includes company overview and role description. But schedule details (hybrid, location) maybe go to Schedule section. However the instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can put hybrid location in Schedule. The About the role could be just company overview and role purpose without location. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can still include location in Schedule. Thus About the role: company overview + role purpose (supporting forecasting etc). We'll keep the sentences about supporting forecasting etc. Might also include partnership with teams. We'll keep that. Responsibilities: list as given. Requirements: list as given (education, years experience, etc). We'll keep bullet points. Skills: we can extract technical skills: Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, Intermediate SQL skills, Experience utilizing SQL queries to investigate databases independently and pull data into Excel for analysis, Experience with data visualization and reporting tools such as Power BI or Tableau preferred, Basic knowledge of Python, R, or other analytical tools preferred, Experience creating SOPs and leading training sessions preferred, Experience working with data analysis, reporting, system support, or process improvement initiatives, Proven ability to transform disparate data into actionable, impactful recommendations for system or process improvement, Experience operating in a fast-paced environment with multiple priorities and customer service expectations, Understanding of forecasting, replenishment, inventory management, and supply chain planning concepts, Knowledge of data quality management, root cause analysis, and systems testing practices. Also maybe experience supporting supply chain planning systems such as Kinaxis, SAP, Blue Yonder (JDA), Logility, or similar platforms preferred. That's more like experience but could be skills. We'll put those under Skills. Benefits: The total rewards section includes many items: Inclusive employee resource groups, Generous Medical, Dental, Vision And Other Great Benefits, Paid parental and medical leave programs, 401(k) with a company match component and profit sharing, 15 days of paid time off plus company holidays, Hybrid work model with flexibility, Tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment assistance. Also mention total rewards philosophy etc. We'll keep those as list. Pay: Starting Salary is $85,000-$98,000 with a 5% targeted bonus. Schedule: Hybrid role based at 345 N Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60607. Candidates must reside in the Chicago metropolitan area. Relocation assistance is not offered at this time. Also mention hybrid work model flexibility (already in benefits). We'll include location and residency requirement. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, recruiting agencies, application instructions, etc. Also remove "Are you a good match for this Job? Please submit an online application with your salary expectations and an indication of your earliest starting date." Remove that. Now produce HTML fragment: use

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's craft. About the role: combine company overview and role purpose (excluding location/hybrid). Let's write:

    HAVI is a global, privately owned company focused on innovating, optimizing and managing the supply chains of leading brands. Offering services in marketing analytics, packaging, supply chain management and logistics, HAVI partners with companies to address challenges big and small across the supply chain, from commodity to customer. Founded in 1974, HAVI employs more than 10,000 people and serves customers in more than 100 countries.

    The Advanced Planning System Specialist is responsible for supporting forecasting, replenishment, and planning operations by maintaining planning system configurations, reviewing the integrity of planning data, and executing planning processes that enable accurate and reliable supply chain outcomes. This role partners closely with Planning, Product, Tech, and customer-facing teams to support demand planning, inventory availability, replenishment performance, and continuous improvement initiatives.

    That's fine. Responsibilities: list each bullet as
  • . We'll copy the responsibilities exactly as given, but maybe split into separate items. The responsibilities block includes several sentences each starting with a verb. We'll make each sentence a bullet. Responsibilities text: - Ensure the accuracy and consistency of planning inputs and outputs, including menu item forecasts, replenishment recommendations, by conducting daily, weekly, and monthly reviews of all planning inputs and parameters. - Support the execution of daily, weekly, and promotional planning cycles to ensure forecasts, replenishment plans, and planning outputs are completed accurately and on time. - Monitor forecast performance, planning exceptions, and replenishment outcomes, proactively identifying and resolving issues that may impact service levels, inventory availability, or customer requirements. - Support promotional, seasonal, and event-based planning activities by ensuring planning requirements are accurately reflected in planning systems and processes. - Configure, maintain, and optimize planning system settings, parameters, business rules, and system inputs to improve forecasting and replenishment performance. - Support planning applications through system configuration, troubleshooting, testing, and user support activities. - Monitor and validate forecasting and supply chain planning inputs to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and integrity. - Investigate and resolve data quality, system, and process issues that impact planning performance. - Generate reports, perform ad-hoc data extractions, and conduct analyses to support planning operations, customer deliverables, performance monitoring, and issue resolution. - Analyze planning results, identify trends and root causes, and provide recommendations to improve forecast accuracy, inventory management, and operational performance. - Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and support the development of reporting and insights that drive business decisions. - Respond to and resolve requests from internal stakeholders and external customers related to forecasting, replenishment, planning systems, reporting, and supply chain planning processes. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to investigate issues, communicate resolutions, and ensure service-level expectations are met. - Serve as a backup for team members and support business continuity across planning operations. - Act as SME for planning systems and contribute to documentation improvement and the creation of SOPs for end users. - Support automation, process improvement, and system enhancement initiatives through analysis, testing, documentation, and implementation activities. - Contribute to projects that improve planning capabilities, customer service, and overall supply chain performance through collaboration with Analytics, Product, and Tech teams. We'll keep as list. Requirements: list bullet points: - Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, operations management, engineering, information systems, data analytics, or a related field. - 3 years experience in demand planning, supply planning, inventory planning, replenishment, or supply chain operations. - Experience supporting supply chain planning systems such as Kinaxis, SAP, Blue Yonder (JDA), Logility, or similar platforms preferred. - Experience creating SOPs and leading training sessions preferred. - Experience working with data analysis, reporting, system support, or process improvement initiatives. - Proven ability to transform disparate data into actionable, impactful, recommendations for system or process improvement. - Experience utilizing SQL queries to investigate databases independently and pull data into Excel for analysis. - Experience operating in a fast-paced environment with multiple priorities and customer service expectations. - Advanced Microsoft Excel skills. - Intermediate SQL skills. - Experience with data visualization and reporting tools such as Power BI or Tableau preferred. - Basic knowledge of Python, R, or other analytical tools preferred. - Understanding of forecasting, replenishment, inventory management, and supply chain planning concepts. - Knowledge of data quality management, root cause analysis, and systems testing practices. We could also include "Experience supporting supply chain planning systems such as..." as a requirement. Skills: we could separate technical skills from requirements but there is overlap. To avoid duplication, maybe we put all technical skills under Skills and keep requirements more about education/experience. However the instructions: we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can duplicate? It says do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplicating is okay as long as we preserve. But better to avoid redundancy but not required. However we might split: Requirements: education, years experience, experience with planning systems, experience creating SOPs, experience working with data analysis/reporting/system support/process improvement, proven ability to transform data, experience utilizing SQL queries, experience operating fast-paced. Skills: Advanced Microsoft Excel, Intermediate SQL, experience with data visualization tools (Power BI/Tableau), basic knowledge of Python/R, understanding of forecasting etc, knowledge of data quality management etc. That seems reasonable. Let's craft Requirements list with those items. Skills list with the technical skills. Benefits list: items from total rewards: - Inclusive employee resource groups - Generous Medical, Dental, Vision And Other Great Benefits - Paid parental and medical leave programs - 401(k) with a company match component and profit sharing - 15 days of paid time off plus company holidays - Hybrid work model with flexibility - Tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment assistance We could also mention "Our total rewards philosophy integrates programs for compensation, benefits, recognition, learning and development, corporate culture, corporate citizenship and work-life balance." but that's somewhat generic; we could include as prose. Pay:

    Starting Salary is $85,000-$98,000 with a 5% targeted bonus.

    Schedule:

    This is a hybrid role based at 345 N Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60607. Candidates must reside in the
