Owens & Minor · Richmond, VA · 3 wk ago
Purchasing$100k–$130k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a summary and description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We have: - About the role: Could be the summary paragraph(s) describing role. The posting includes "Summary The Procurement Agility Consultant serves as a senior individual contributor..." That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with

containing that summary. - Responsibilities: There's a list of core responsibilities broken into subheadings: Procurement Program & Project Management, Procurement Operations & Agility, Strategic Portfolio Management, Governance & Reporting, Change Management & Stakeholder Engagement. Those are responsibilities. So we can make a

  • for each bullet? The content includes paragraphs under each subheading. We need to preserve all substantive info. Could combine into list items each containing the subheading bold? But we must use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can treat each responsibility area as a list item, with the description inside. - Requirements: There's "Education & Experience" section. That includes bachelor's degree required, preferred degrees, certifications, years experience, etc. That's requirements/qualifications. Could split into Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (certifications) but we can combine. The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. The posting has "Education & Experience" and "Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities". Also "Additional Requirements". So we can map: - Requirements: Education & Experience (including degree, years experience). Could also include "Additional Requirements" (inside working conditions). That's minor. - Qualifications: Certifications preferred (PMP, Lean Six Sigma, etc.) maybe also preferred degree fields. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities list. - Benefits: Already listed. - Pay: The anticipated salary $100k to 130k. - Schedule: Not mentioned; we should not include Schedule section. We must not include headings with filler text. So we include only those with content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. The posting includes "If you feel this opportunity could be the next step in your career, we encourage you to apply. This position will accept applications on an ongoing basis. Owens & Minor is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." That's boilerplate; remove. Also remove "Global Reach with a Local Touch" bullet list at start? That's company overview; maybe part of About the role? It's not about the role specifically but company description. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company overview is substantive but not about the role. Should we include it? The sections we can use: About the role could include company overview? The heading About the role is for role description; but we could also include a brief company overview as part of About the role? Might be okay. However the instruction: "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use About the role heading for role summary; we could also include company overview there if relevant. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can include the company overview as a paragraph under About the role before the summary. That preserves info. Thus:

      About the role

      Owens & Minor is a global healthcare solutions company ... (the paragraph about company). Then the summary paragraph. Then Responsibilities:

                The anticipated salary for this position will be $100k to 130k based on applicable experience and education.

                Schedule: not present, omit. We must not include any extra sections like "Additional Requirements". Could fold into Requirements. We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Let's extract text. Company overview paragraph: "Owens & Minor is a global healthcare solutions company providing essential products, services and technology solutions that support care delivery in leading hospitals, health systems and research centers around the world. For over 140 years, Owens & Minor has delivered comfort and confidence behind the scenes, so healthcare stays at the forefront, helping to make each day better for the hospitals, healthcare partners, and communities we serve.

Then Summary: "The Procurement Agility Consultant serves as a senior individual contributor responsible for enabling procurement excellence, accelerating sourcing initiatives, driving process improvements, improving organizational effectiveness, and supporting strategic project delivery across the Indirect Procurement function. This role acts as a central coordinator and change agent, partnering closely with Category Managers, Procurement Leadership, Procurement Operations/COE, Finance, Legal, Operations, and business stakeholders to improve procurement agility, governance, reporting, pipeline visibility, and project execution.

The Agility Manager is expected to operate independently across multiple workstreams, provide leadership for cross-functional initiatives, and serve as a procurement process and project management expert.

Experience supporting procurement technologies, workflow tools, dashboards, automation, or digital transformation initiatives preferred." Additional Requirements: "Inside working conditions. No environmental hazards are indicated for this classification" We can include that as a bullet maybe. Now Qualifications: Could be the preferred certifications and degree fields?
