Procurement Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of institution, duties, qualifications, salary, benefits, etc. We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: login instructions, application instructions, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info: institution description, duties, qualifications (minimum, preferred), knowledge/skills/abilities, salary, benefits, maybe schedule? Not given schedule. Benefits: "Benefits Eligible Yes" plus description of benefits package earlier: university contributions to health, dental, life and disability insurance, tuition waivers, 12 official holidays, immediate leave accrual, choice of retirement programs with contributions 5-10%. Also "Benefits Eligible Yes". So we can include Benefits section. Pay: Salary Information: $61,735 - $69,000 Commensurate with Education and Experience. Since "Commensurate with Education and Experience" is placeholder? It's a phrase but still part of salary range. The rule: do NOT include a section if content is filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. But here we have actual range plus phrase. The phrase is not filler; it's part of description. We can include Pay section with the salary range. Schedule: Not provided, so omit. Skills: Could be Knowledge, Skills & Abilities section. Could map to Skills heading. Requirements: Minimum qualifications. Qualifications: Could be Preferred qualifications? But we already have Requirements (minimum) and maybe Qualifications (preferred). However the instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. We have: About the role (institution description and summary). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills (knowledge, skills & abilities). Benefits. Pay. We must not create sections with filler. All have content. We must not include repeated lines like "All Job Postings will close at 12:01 a.m. CT on the specified Closing Date (if designated)." That's boilerplate? It's about closing date; maybe we can keep Closing Date? Not a heading; we could fold into a short p under About the role? But the instruction: Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Closing date is minor metadata; we could include in a p under About the role or maybe not include at all? It's substantive? It's a date; but it's not a heading. We could include as a short p: "Closing Date: 09/24/2026". However the instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a p with that. Also Type Of Position Procurement Workstudy Position No Job Type Regular Work Shift Sponsorship Available: No Institution Name ... That's metadata; we can fold into p. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the institution description, duties, qualifications, etc. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So remove the login instructions, "If you have a disability..." etc? That's EEO/accommodation; that's boilerplate? It's about disability accommodation; might be considered EEO/legal. Probably remove. Also remove "All application information is subject to public disclosure..." etc. Remove "Constant Physical Activity ..." lines. We need to keep benefits description earlier: "The benefits package includes university contributions to health, dental, life and disability insurance, tuition waivers for employees and their families, 12 official holidays, immediate leave accrual, and a choice of retirement programs with university contributions ranging from 5 to 10% of employee salary." Also "Benefits Eligible Yes". Keep that. We need to keep salary range. We need to keep "Required Documents To Apply Cover Letter/Letter of Application, List of three Professional References (name, email, business title), Resume Optional Documents Proof of Veteran Status". That's application instructions? It's about required documents; maybe considered application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove that. Also "Recruitment Contact Information" etc. Remove. We need to keep "Pre-employment Screening Requirements: Criminal Background Check, Financial Credit Check, Sex Offender Registry". That's maybe legal/boilerplate? Might be considered part of job posting but could be considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is about background checks; might be considered legal. I'd remove it to be safe. We need to keep "Department Strategic Procurement Department's Website". That's maybe minor metadata; could fold into p. We need to keep "Summary of Job Duties:" etc. Let's craft HTML. Structure:

We must not include sections with filler. All good. Now extract details. Institution description: "Founded in 1871, the University of Arkansas is a land grant institution, classified by the Carnegie Foundation among the nation’s top 2 percent of universities with the highest level of research activity.

under About the role. Responsibilities: The "Summary of Job Duties:" paragraph. Need to break into list items. Let's extract sentences: - The Procurement Manager is responsible for overseeing procurement staff and operations, setting goals, managing issues, promoting a collaborative environment, and providing backup support for staff. - The position requires leadership in staff growth, training, and development with a focus on enhancing team engagement, guidance, advice, and problem-solving as required to facilitate and support procurement operations including the purchasing of commodities and services on behalf of campus. - Adherence to procurement laws, regulations, and internal controls is crucial, and collaboration with various campus units is required. - The Procurement Manager will participate in collaborative efforts related to Workday processes ensuring adherence to procurement policies, and ensure that proper support is provided to university personnel, suppliers, and other entities regarding state procurement laws and regulations, state and departmental procurement policies, procedures, and contract terms, in addition to available contracts as established at the state level via Office of State Procurement, and professional vendor associations via cooperative consortia. - The position will maintain efficient procurement records ensuring completeness, compliance, and sufficient public access. - Additionally, the position involves collaborating with the Director in establishing internal procedures, making leadership decisions, and staying abreast of policies and regulations. - Other duties as assigned. - Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others. We'll put each as

At least two years supervisory experience in purchasing or a related areaExperience with WorkdayAt least five years of experience and knowledge of the State of Arkansas procurement laws, rules, policies and procedures sufficient to interpret, apply and communicate to internal and external customersWork experience in a higher education institution" We need to split into sensible items.

The text seems to blend. Let's parse: Preferred Qualifications: - At least six years of relevant procurement experience managing procurement categories or procurement related functions with an emphasis in Information Technology services - At least five years of progressive procurement supervisory experience - At least two years of advanced functionality in Microsoft Office (e.g. Word, Excel, Outlook) - Demonstrated attention to detail and customer service orientation as evidenced by application materials - Experience leading change initiatives with a strong ability to analyze and understand business requirements Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: - Knowledge of specifications, vendor and customer requirements, and contracts - Knowledge of supplier sources and market prices - Time management skills to meet deadlines and handle multiple tasks simultaneously - Strong interpersonal skills and ability to communicate verbally and in writing on a professional level to vendors and cross-functional stakeholder groups - Excellent critical thinking and problem-solving skills - Ability to provide vision and leadership to the procurement staff and campus community - Ability to resolve problems between departments and vendors - Ability to self-initiate, organize, prioritize, analyze, support and streamline day-to-day procurement activities - Ability to formulate and interpret policies and procedures relating to procurement Thus we can have Qualifications section for
