We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
First part: "HAVERHILL is a fine jewelry brand..." This is about the company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be description of role. The posting includes "The role Own the truth of our inventory..." etc. So we can put that under "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". Let's decide.
We need sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe skills), Qualifications (maybe experience), Skills (maybe specific), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to extract content.
Let's extract:
Company description: "HAVERHILL is a fine jewelry brand that celebrates life’s most meaningful moments through personalized, solid gold designs. Our brand is rooted in craftsmanship, sentiment, and timeless design — and our visual language reflects the same care, restraint, and attention to detail. Based in Rhode Island, our vertically integrated team brings together design, production, and digital expertise to deliver highly personal jewelry at scale. We operate in a fast-growing environment with high standards, where collaboration, accountability, and shared success matter. We look for people who take pride in their work, thrive in momentum and change, and understand that the strongest results come from teams aligned around a common goal."
That's about the company; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes role description. But we can put company overview under "About the role" or maybe not needed. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include About the role as a heading with description of role (maybe includes company context). We'll include the company description as part of About the role.
Then "The role Own the truth of our inventory from purchase order to balance sheet..." This is responsibilities. We'll list bullet points.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet list:
- Own the truth of our inventory from purchase order to balance sheet.
- Ensure correct quantities, correct values, correct cost of goods, correct vendor payments, recorded in the system the day they happen.
- Be the person the CEO, VP Production and Head of Finance turn to when they ask what we have, what it is worth, what we paid for it and what we should buy next.
- Hands-on seat inside the factory: on the floor, in the vault, in the receiving area and in Cin7 every day.
- Present the numbers at the leadership meeting every week.
- Inventory control: cycle count program, month-end and year-end physical counts, discrepancy root cause and resolution, shrink tracking, and the scrap-to-refiner loop from bench to refiner credit.
- Inventory accounting: balance sheet inventory valuation, cost of goods accuracy, subledger to general ledger reconciliation, work in process, marketing samples and make-and-hold on the books, and inventory reporting for lenders.
- Purchasing control: material purchase forecast against the sales plan, purchase order discipline, receiving, and vendor reconciliation for precious metal and component suppliers: invoices matched to POs and receipts, credits and returns captured, defective material charged back, payments accurate.
- ERP System of Record (currently Cin7): process owner and super user for inventory, production and purchasing transactions; backup to the Systems Lead.
- Bill of materials maintenance including sub-assemblies, returns and quarantine flow, and a workaround register where every open item has an owner and a date.
- Controls and audit readiness: count documentation, segregation of duties inside the plant, collateral-grade inventory reporting, and the operating discipline that lets an outside lender or accountant rely on our inventory numbers.
- Cash forecast inputs: timing, quantity and terms of inventory purchases, delivered to the Head of Finance for the cash forecast.
Also "What the role does not own" list: Company close, tax, banking and forecast model (Head of Finance). Production scheduling and labor (Production Manager). Demand planning and pricing (VP Commerce). People operations (People Ops Manager). This could be under Responsibilities as "Does not own" maybe not needed but could be included as note. Probably we can include under Responsibilities as "Does not own" but maybe better to keep responsibilities only what they own. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include the "What the role does not own" as part of responsibilities (maybe as a note). Could be a bullet list under Responsibilities.
Now skills and mindset: "Someone who has run inventory control or plant accounting in a manufacturer, ideally with precious metal or high-value components, and has turned physical counts into balance sheet numbers under audit. Strong in Excel and Power Query or equivalent, comfortable learning a new ERP fast, and used to combining data from systems that do not talk to each other. Direct approach & early communication, especially around the challenging topic of inventory discrepancies. Comfortable in a factory with a bilingual workforce. Desire and ability to build a function rather than inherit one."
That's qualifications/skills. We can split: Qualifications (experience), Skills (technical), maybe Requirements (maybe same). We'll decide.
We have "Compensation & Benefits" section: "This is a full-time, salaried, exempt position budgeted at $105,000–$135,000 annually, commensurate with experience. The position also qualifies for an annual performance-based bonus of up to 15% of base salary." Then benefits list.
We need Pay section: include salary range and bonus.
Benefits section: list benefits.
Location & Schedule: "This is an on-site role based at HAVERHILL's production facility in Warren, Rhode Island. This is not a remote or hybrid position; the work depends on being present with both the office team and the floor." Physical Requirements list.
We need Schedule section: maybe include on-site, not remote/hybrid. Could also include physical requirements? The instruction: schedule heading for schedule info. We'll put location and schedule under Schedule? Actually there is separate Location & Schedule heading in posting. We'll treat that as Schedule section (maybe include location). We'll include location and schedule details.
Physical Requirements maybe could be part of Schedule? But we can include under Schedule as note. Or we could create a separate section? Not in allowed headings. We'll include physical requirements under Schedule as part of description.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. So we must cut that out.
Now produce HTML fragment with headings
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include About the role as a heading with description of role (maybe includes company context). We'll include the company description as part of About the role.
Then "The role Own the truth of our inventory from purchase order to balance sheet..." This is responsibilities. We'll list bullet points.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet list:
- Own the truth of our inventory from purchase order to balance sheet.

That's qualifications/skills. We can split: Qualifications (experience), Skills (technical), maybe Requirements (maybe same). We'll decide.

Benefits section: list benefits.
Location & Schedule: "This is an on-site role based at HAVERHILL's production facility in Warren, Rhode Island. This is not a remote or hybrid position; the work depends on being present with both the office team and the floor." Physical Requirements list.
We need Schedule section: maybe include on-site, not remote/hybrid. Could also include physical requirements? The instruction: schedule heading for schedule info. We'll put location and schedule under Schedule? Actually there is separate Location & Schedule heading in posting. We'll treat that as Schedule section (maybe include location). We'll include location and schedule details.
Physical Requirements maybe could be part of Schedule? But we can include under Schedule as note. Or we could create a separate section? Not in allowed headings. We'll include physical requirements under Schedule as part of description.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. So we must cut that out.
Now produce HTML fragment with headings and content.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must only include sections that have real specific content. We'll include all.
Now craft content.
About the role: include company description and role overview maybe.
Let's write:
About the role
About the role
HAVERHILL is a fine jewelry brand that celebrates life’s most meaningful moments through personalized, solid gold designs. Our brand is rooted in craftsmanship, sentiment, and timeless design — and our visual language reflects the same care, restraint, and attention to detail. Based in Rhode Island, our vertically integrated team brings together design, production, and digital expertise to deliver highly personal jewelry at scale. We operate in a fast-growing environment with high standards, where collaboration, accountability, and shared success matter. We look for people who take pride in their work, thrive in momentum and change, and understand that the strongest results come from teams aligned around a common goal. In this role you will own the truth of our inventory from purchase order to balance sheet, ensuring correct quantities, values, cost of goods, and vendor payments are recorded daily, and serve as the go-to person for leadership on inventory status and purchasing decisions.
That seems good. Responsibilities: list bullet points. We'll include both what they own and what they do not own. Let's create- items. We'll break into logical groups. Responsibilities: - Own the truth of inventory from purchase order to balance sheet: ensure correct quantities, values, cost of goods, and vendor payments are recorded in the system the day they happen. - Serve as the primary point of contact for the CEO, VP Production, and Head of Finance regarding inventory status, valuation, and purchasing recommendations. - Work hands‑on on the factory floor, in the vault, receiving area, and in Cin7 daily. - Present inventory numbers at the weekly leadership meeting. - Inventory control: manage cycle count program, month‑end and year‑end physical counts, investigate discrepancies, track shrink, and oversee the scrap‑to‑refiner loop. - Inventory accounting: maintain balance‑sheet inventory valuation, ensure cost‑of‑goods accuracy, reconcile subledger to general ledger, account for work‑in‑process, marketing samples, and make‑and‑hold items; produce inventory reports for lenders. - Purchasing control: forecast material purchases against the sales plan, enforce purchase‑order discipline, oversee receiving, and reconcile vendor invoices, receipts, credits, returns, and defective material charge‑backs; ensure accurate payments. - ERP system ownership: act as process owner and super user for inventory, production, and purchasing transactions in Cin7; back up the Systems Lead. - Bill of materials maintenance: maintain sub‑assemblies, returns, quarantine flow, and a workaround register assigning an owner and date to every open item. - Controls and audit readiness: maintain count documentation, enforce segregation of duties, produce collateral‑grade inventory reporting, and uphold operating discipline that external auditors or lenders can rely on. - Cash forecast inputs: provide timing, quantity, and terms of inventory purchases to the Head of Finance for cash forecasting. - What the role does **not** own: company close, tax, banking, and forecast model (Handled by Head of Finance); production scheduling and labor (Production Manager); demand planning and pricing (VP Commerce); people operations (People Ops Manager). Now Requirements: maybe we can include "Full-time, salaried, exempt position" etc? Actually that's compensation. Requirements could be about eligibility: maybe "Full-time employees, defined as 30 or more hours per week, are eligible for benefits". But that's benefits. Requirements could be about location: on-site, physical requirements. But we have Schedule for location. We'll treat Requirements as maybe "Must be able to work on-site in Warren, RI; must be comfortable moving throughout office and production floor; able to sit/stand for extended periods; occasional bending, reaching, light lifting up to ~25 lbs; manual dexterity for computer use; visual acuity for reviewing records; clear communication in English and Spanish; occasional exposure to typical manufacturing-floor conditions." That seems like requirements. But we also have qualifications/experience. Let's assign: Qualifications: experience running inventory control or plant accounting in a manufacturer, preferably with precious metal or high-value components; ability to turn physical counts into balance sheet numbers under audit. Skills: strong in Excel and Power Query or equivalent; comfortable learning a new ERP fast; used to combining data from disparate systems; direct approach and early communication, especially around inventory discrepancies; comfortable in a bilingual factory workforce; desire and ability to build a function rather than inherit one. We could also include "Comfortable learning a new ERP fast" as skill. Now Benefits: list as per posting. Benefits list: - Medical coverage through UnitedHealthcare, multiple plan options, preventive care covered at 100% in network - Dental coverage through Delta Dental of Rhode Island - Vision coverage through VSP - 401(k) through Guideline, with employer matching - Employer-paid term life, AD&D, and long‑term disability insurance through Unum - Confidential Employee Assistance Program through Unum (mental health, financial, legal support) - 50% employee discount on HAVERHILL jewelry, with payroll deduction available - Optional voluntary coverage through Colonial Life and Pet Discount Plus at group rates We should not include
