Principal Program Manager – Demand Planning
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay range, etc.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide headings: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Required Qualifications (maybe "Requirements"). Preferred Qualifications (maybe "Qualifications" or "Preferred Qualifications"). Benefits (list). Pay (maybe "Pay" with range). Schedule? Not mentioned; no schedule info, so omit.
We also have "Qualifications Disclaimer" about immunization etc. That's minor metadata; we can fold into a short p under Requirements or drop? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short p after Required Qualifications maybe.
Also there is "Range and benefit information provided in this posting are specific to the stated locations only US: Hiring Range in USD from: $90,100 - $209,500 per year. May be eligible for bonus and equity." That's Pay.
Benefits list is long; we need to output as
- items.
We must not include the EEO boilerplate etc.
Let's extract sections:
Intro paragraph: "We are seeking a Principal Demand Planner to lead forecasting and decision-making through rigorous modeling, business intelligence, and market analysis. The ideal candidate has deep experience consolidating large, complex data sets; identifying meaningful patterns, inconsistencies, and unexplained outliers; and translating detailed findings into clear, actionable recommendations. This role requires exceptional attention to detail, strong cross-functional coordination, and the ability to continuously improve the inputs, assumptions, and methods used for strategic demand forecasting."
That's About the role.
Responsibilities: bullet list (each sentence starts with a verb). We'll convert each to
- .
Required Qualifications: list of bullet points? It's a paragraph with semicolons? Actually it's a list separated by periods. We'll treat each sentence as a bullet.
Preferred Qualifications: similarly.
Benefits: list after "Oracle US offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes the following:" then items separated by commas and line breaks. We'll split into items.
Pay: "Range and benefit information provided in this posting are specific to the stated locations only US: Hiring Range in USD from: $90,100 - $209,500 per year. May be eligible for bonus and equity." Also note about Oracle maintains broad salary ranges etc. That's also part of Pay description. We'll include that as prose under Pay heading.
Schedule: none.
We also have "The role will generally accept applications for at least three calendar days from the posting date or as long as the job remains posted." That's application instruction; we should remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So drop that.
Also "As part of Oracle's onboarding process..." about biometric info; that's maybe legal/boilerplate; remove.
Also "About Us" section: we could treat as part of About the role? But it's company description; maybe we can include as a short p under About the role? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine About the role and About Us into one section? But we already have About the role intro; we could append the About Us paragraph as additional prose under same heading. However the instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have About the role heading and include both the role description and company description. That's fine.
We must not repeat job title as heading.

About the role
We are seeking a Principal Demand Planner to lead forecasting and decision-making through rigorous modeling, business intelligence, and market analysis. The ideal candidate has deep experience consolidating large, complex data sets; identifying meaningful patterns, inconsistencies, and unexplained outliers; and translating detailed findings into clear, actionable recommendations. This role requires exceptional attention to detail, strong cross-functional coordination, and the ability to continuously improve the inputs, assumptions, and methods used for strategic demand forecasting.
Only Oracle brings together the data, infrastructure, applications, and expertise to power everything from industry innovations to life-saving care. And with AI embedded across our products and services, we help customers turn that promise into a better future for all. Discover your potential at a company leading the way in AI and cloud solutions that impact billions of lives. True innovation starts when everyone is empowered to contribute. That’s why we’re committed to growing a workforce that promotes opportunities for all with competitive benefits that support our people with flexible medical, life insurance, and retirement options. We also encourage employees to give back to their communities through our volunteer programs. We’re committed to including people with disabilities at all stages of the employment process. If you require accessibility assistance or accommodation for a disability at any point, let us know by emailing accommodation-request_mb@oracle.com or by calling 1-888-404-2494 in the United States.
But note: the accommodation request line might be considered EEO/boilerplate? It's about accommodation for disability; could be considered EEO-related. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation request line is likely part of EEO. Safer to drop that line. Also the sentence about "We’re committed to including people with disabilities..." is also EEO. So we should remove those sentences. Keep only the generic company description about Oracle's mission, AI, etc. That's not EEO. So we keep: "Only Oracle brings together the data, infrastructure, applications, and expertise to power everything from industry innovations to life-saving care. And with AI embedded across our products and services, we help customers turn that promise into a better future for all. Discover your potential at a company leading the way in AI and cloud solutions that impact billions of lives. True innovation starts when everyone is empowered to contribute.
