We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include sections only if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Job title: "Build a Career That Builds Your Future — with PulteGroup!" but we must not repeat job title as heading.
We need sections:
- About the role: likely the introductory paragraph(s) describing company and role. The posting includes a welcome paragraph, mission, etc. That's about the role/company. We'll put that under

- . - Requirements: maybe includes Career Level, Organizational Impact, etc. Could be considered Requirements. Also includes Minimum high school diploma, etc. We'll put under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe includes Required Skills? Actually they have "Required Skills" separate. Could treat Skills as Skills section. Qualifications could be education/experience. We'll decide. - Skills: list of required skills. - Benefits: they have General Description Of Benefits. - Pay: they have Pay Information $87,000 - $100,000 Annually plus bonus. - Schedule: they have "This position requires onsite attendance 5 days per week at our Division Office located in Bridgewater Township, NJ." That's schedule info. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must cut out the equal opportunity employer paragraph, e-Verify, California Privacy Policy, etc. Also remove the part about recruiters unsolicited resumes. Also remove the "Apply now and discover a career..." maybe that's application instruction? It says "Apply now and discover a career where your contributions are valued..." That's basically a call to action; we should remove application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should cut that sentence. Also remove "Job Summary" heading? It's not a heading we need to keep; we can incorporate its content into About the role or Responsibilities. The "Job Summary" line: "The Procurement Agent manages procurement and community setup, combining sourcing and operational strategies to ensure efficient and effective execution." That's part of About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph before Job Summary: "Build a Career That Builds Your Future — with PulteGroup!

If you're looking for work that moves you, a team that values your ideas, and a company that brings you pride, you’ve come to the right place.

Then after that: "Apply now and discover a career where your contributions are valued, your growth is supported, and your work makes a lasting impact" - this is application instruction, remove. Then "Job Summary The Procurement Agent manages procurement and community setup, combining sourcing and operational strategies to ensure efficient and effective execution. This role includes managing supplier relationships, sourcing initiatives and community-specific procurement needs. The Procurement Agent aligns procurement strategies with construction and operational goals while maintaining compliance, process accuracy, and budget efficiencies. This position requires onsite attendance 5 days per week at our Division Office located in Bridgewater Township, NJ." We'll incorporate the Job Summary into About the role (maybe after intro). The schedule info (onsite attendance 5 days per week) goes to Schedule section. Now "Primary Job Responsibilities" list: we need to capture each bullet. List: - Manage procurement processes for assigned categories, including sourcing strategy, contract execution, and supplier performance, to ensure alignment with cost, quality, and service goals. - Oversee community setup strategy, including category data entry, pricing validation, and procurement policy and procedures required for new communities. - Strategize with internal leadership, including construction, sales, and design, to ensure procurement and community-specific needs are met. - Lead category management strategies such as cost analysis, negotiation preparation, and implementation of contracts for communities. - Facilitate trade partner strategy and communication, to align with cost efficiencies, performance goals and legal requirements. - Provide input into and analysis of procurement and community-specific reports to provide actionable insights and ensure operational accuracy. - Manage supplier and trade partner relationships to address compliance, risk management, and ongoing performance improvements. - Monitor and improve procurement processes, and support initiatives for cost containment, value engineering, and operational efficiency. - Supervise and evaluate trade partner performance and inform hiring and termination decisions. - Contribute to cross-functional team efforts to resolve procurement and community challenges and drive continuous improvement. - Performs other duties as assigned. Now "Career Level (P2)" details: Organizational Impact: Works to achieve day-to-day objectives with moderate impact on the area. Works independently on larger, moderately complex projects/assignments. Sets objectives for own area to meet the objectives or goals of projects and assignments. May assist other professionals with tasks and assignments. Leadership & Talent Management: May provide guidance and assistance to entry level professionals and/or support employees. Knowledge & Experience: Requires practical knowledge of area typically obtained through advanced education combined with experience. Minimum high school diploma or equivalent (GED) required. Typically requires a University degree or equivalent experience and minimum 2-4 years of prior relevant experience. We can put these under Requirements or Qualifications. Let's decide: Requirements could be the mandatory qualifications (education, experience). Qualifications could be the career level description? But we have separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to use them only if there is real specific content. We have: - Required Skills list (under "Required Skills"). - Required Licensing, Registration And/or Certifications: "ISCM (Certified Procurement) or equivalent accreditation a plus". That's a qualification/skill? Could be under Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat as Skills maybe. - Physical Requirements: Not applicable (we should not create a section for that because it's not substantive? It says "Not applicable". According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "Not applicable" is like N/A, so we should not create a Physical Requirements section. So we skip. - Pay Information: $87,000 - $100,000 Annually plus bonus. That's substantive, so we create Pay section. - Benefits: General Description Of Benefits paragraph with details. So Benefits section. - Schedule: onsite attendance 5 days per week at Division Office in Bridgewater Township, NJ. That's schedule. Now we need to decide what goes into each heading. About the role: include the introductory paragraph about PulteGroup, plus Job Summary (excluding schedule maybe). We'll include the Job Summary sentences about managing procurement, aligning strategies, etc. We'll exclude the schedule sentence (onsite attendance) because that goes to Schedule. Thus About the role content: "Welcome to PulteGroup where we believe in building more than just homes—we believe in building inspired employees, meaningful careers, and a legacy of excellence. If you're looking for work that moves you, a team that values your ideas, and a company that brings you pride, you’ve come to the right place.

The Procurement Agent aligns procurement strategies with construction and operational goals while maintaining compliance, process accuracy, and budget efficiencies." Now Responsibilities: list as above. Now Requirements: maybe include the Career Level details (Organizational Impact, Leadership & Talent Management, Knowledge & Experience) plus Minimum high school diploma, etc. But we also have Qualifications maybe for education/experience. Let's split: - Requirements: could be the mandatory requirements: Minimum high school diploma or equivalent (GED) required. Typically requires a University degree or equivalent experience and minimum 2-4 years of prior relevant experience. Also maybe the Career Level details? But those are more about role level. - Qualifications: could be the Career Level description (Organizational Impact, Leadership & Talent Management, Knowledge & Experience). However the Knowledge & Experience part overlaps with requirements. Might be better to put all under Requirements and skip Qualifications if redundant. But we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we must use headings only if there is real specific content. We could have Requirements (including education/experience) and Skills (including required skills and licensing). Qualifications maybe not needed. Let's see if we have distinct content for Qualifications beyond Requirements. The posting has "Career Level (P2)" with subpoints Organizational Impact, Leadership & Talent Management, Knowledge & Experience. That seems like a description of the role level, which could be considered Qualifications (i.e., what qualifies you for this level). Meanwhile the "Minimum high school diploma..." is more like Requirements. So we can have: - Requirements: Minimum high school diploma or equivalent (GED) required. Typically requires a University degree or equivalent experience and minimum 2-4 years of prior relevant experience. - Qualifications: Career Level (P2) details: Organizational Impact..., Leadership & Talent Management..., Knowledge & Experience... (which includes practical knowledge, advanced education combined with experience). However Knowledge & Experience repeats some of the requirement; but we can keep as is. - Skills: Required Skills list plus Licensing (ISCM certification a plus). Now Benefits: as described. Pay: $87,000 - $100,000 Annually plus bonus. Schedule: onsite attendance 5 days per week at Division Office located in Bridgewater Township, NJ. Now we must ensure we
