We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We 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.
Content:
Intro: "A Place Where People Matter. Start your career journey with Univar Solutions! Here you can make an impact on the world around you and accelerate your career in areas that energize and excite you."
Then: "Under the direction of the Sales Director, Health and Nutrition Americas, the Nutra Account Manager wins and scales Nutraceutical business across the Southeastern United States territory by solving customer problems and focusing on high-value, repeatable use cases. The role sells a science-led, clinically backed portfolios: spanning probiotics, actives, amino acids, creatine, botanicals, vitamins, lipids, and cellular health ingredients into nutraceutical manufacturers, brand owners, contract manufacturers, and private-label producers. The Account Manager works in close partnership with the Global Nutra Core team (technical PhDs, quality and regulatory, and technical marketing) to convert customer trials into commercial revenue, and is accountable for delivered gross profit, margin, win rate, and account and SKU expansion within the territory. The Southeast territory forms part of a North America base of approximately 337 active Nutra accounts within a U.S. market estimated at ~$189B (2024), the largest Nutra region globally."
Then "What you´ll do:" list of responsibilities.
Then "What you´ll need:" list of requirements.
Then "Where you´ll work:" Work-from-home role when not visiting customers. Travel requirements up to 75%. Overnight travel. Opportunity for candidates based in or willing to relocate to the US Southeastern region. Florida is a preferred location.
Then description of company: "Univar Solutions is a leading, global distributor..." etc. This is about company, maybe "About the company" but not requested heading. Could be part of "About the role"? Might be considered "About the company" but not in list. We could include as a paragraph under maybe "About the role" or separate "About Univar Solutions"? Not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include only those that have content. Likely we need About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (What you'll do), Requirements (What you'll need), maybe Skills (some overlapping), Benefits (maybe from Total Rewards package), Pay (not specified), Schedule (travel). The posting mentions travel requirements up to 75% overnight, work-from-home when not visiting customers. That's schedule info. Benefits: "We offer a Total Rewards package that includes market aligned pay and incentives as well as a diverse benefits offering to support our employees’ physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing." That's benefits. Pay: not specific numbers, just "market aligned pay". The instruction says: 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. For Pay, they say "market aligned pay and incentives". That is somewhat vague but still states something about pay. It's not a specific number but it's a statement. Is that considered filler? It's not "not specified" but it's vague. The rule says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "market aligned pay" is not exactly those. Might be acceptable to include Pay section with that statement. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Benefits and Pay maybe? But they are separate headings allowed. We could include Benefits section with the Total Rewards description. Pay section could be omitted if we consider it too vague. But they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state "market aligned pay and incentives". That's a statement about pay, albeit vague. I'd include Pay section with that sentence.
Schedule: travel requirements up to 75% overnight, work-from-home when not visiting customers. That's specific enough.
Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills? The posting includes skills within requirements; we could not separate.
We must not repeat job title. Use

Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills? The posting includes skills within requirements; we could not separate.
We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like territory, market size, etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation, recruiter policy, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal. Also remove repeated lines.
We need to keep the company description? It's substantive but not under any heading; maybe we can include as part of About the role? The intro already includes some company marketing. The later paragraph about Univar Solutions being a leading global distributor etc. Could be considered "About the company". Not in allowed headings, but we could incorporate into About the role as additional prose. However we must not invent headings not allowed. So we can just add that as a
after the intro under About the role.
Thus About the role section will contain multiple paragraphs: the initial marketing sentences, the role description under direction, territory details, and the company overview.
Now Responsibilities: list from "What you´ll do:" bullet points. Need to capture each line as
- . Ensure we keep all details.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Deliver territory DGP and margin targets versus AOP, and grow the Nutra book of business through both new customer acquisition and expansion within existing accounts.
- Qualify Nutra opportunities against the platform strategy. prioritizing high-value, repeatable use cases and applications where Univar Solutions holds advantaged or exclusive supplier access.
- Lead customer trials with technical support: coordinate formulation work, sampling, and scale-up with the technical team, and drive trial-to-commercialization conversion.
- Close and expand wins: add new SKUs to existing Nutra customers and convert single-product relationships into multi-product, solution-led partnerships.
- Build and maintain a healthy, converted pipeline with accurate forecasting and CRM discipline; maintain pipeline coverage consistent with regional targets.
- Sell the existing differentiated supplier portfolio and new offerings as these authorizations come online.
- Negotiate pricing, terms, and supply agreements that protect margin while creating durable customer value; defend value against commodity-based competition.
- Feed market needs, competitive intelligence, and unmet application demand back to the Global Nutra Core to shape portfolio, formulation, and supplier priorities.
- Partner with technical marketing to deploy application stories, claims, and playbooks in customer conversations, ensuring all claims used are regulatory-approved.
- Maintain deep knowledge of territory customers, including manufacturers, private-label producers, and brand owners, and build relationships from R&D and procurement through to executive sponsors.
- Cover the Southeastern U.S. – including the Florida, Georgia, Carolinas, Tennessee, and Gulf sub-regions, with a strong concentration of contract manufacturers and private-label supplement producers.
- Support North America M&A and supplier development activity by identifying territory customers and prospects relevant to bolt-on targets and new authorizations.
Note some lines have punctuation issues; we keep as is.
Now Requirements: from "What you´ll need:" bullet points.
- At least a bachelor’s degree in business, science, food science, nutrition, chemistry, or a related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of successful business-to-business sales experience, preferably in nutraceutical, dietary supplement, functional food and beverage, specialty ingredient, or pharmaceutical ingredient distribution.
- Demonstrated ability to sell technical, solution-led value rather than price, and to work alongside technical and regulatory colleagues throughout the sales cycle.
- Working knowledge of nutraceutical applications and formulation concepts sufficient to hold credible conversations with customer R&D and product development teams.
- Proven pipeline management discipline: prospecting, qualification, forecasting, and CRM hygiene, with a track record of converting trials into commercial revenue.
- Strong negotiation skills with the ability to establish strong working relationships, persuade and influence others, and defend pricing and contract terms professionally.
- Business acumen: understands margin, working capital, and the economics of distribution; makes decisions that are beneficial to the business as a whole.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills; projects a professional and positive image both inside and outside the company.
- Ability to travel extensively within the Southeastern United States; based in or willing to relocate to the territory.
Now Benefits: from "We offer a Total Rewards package that includes market aligned pay and incentives as well as a diverse benefits offering to support our employees’ physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing." Also maybe mention sustainable solutions etc. But that's more company mission. We'll keep the benefits sentence.
Pay: from same sentence: "market aligned pay and incentives". Could separate but we already used that in Benefits. Might be redundant. Better to have Benefits section include the Total Rewards package description, and Pay section could be omitted or we could extract "market aligned pay and incentives" as Pay. But that would duplicate. Perhaps we combine Benefits and Pay into one Benefits section that includes both pay and benefits. However the instruction says we can have separate sections if content exists. To avoid duplication, we could put the pay statement in Pay section and benefits statement in Benefits section. But the original sentence lumps them together. We could split: Pay: "market aligned pay and incentives". Benefits: "diverse benefits offering to support our employees’ physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing." Also maybe mention sustainable solutions etc. That seems acceptable.
Schedule: from "Where you´ll work:" bullet: Work-from-home role when not visiting customers. Travel requirements up to 75%. Overnight travel. Opportunity for candidates based in or willing to relocate to the US Southeastern region. Florida is a preferred location.
We'll put that as schedule.
Now we must not include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Ensure we removed those.

Paragraph 3: maybe include company description: "Univar Solutions is a leading, global distributor of chemicals and ingredients essential to the safety, health, and wellbeing of our daily lives from life-saving medicines and vitamins to hand sanitizers and industrial materials used for cleaning, construction, and more.
