We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes overview. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections with real content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract content:
Intro paragraph: "Do you love snacks? Are you looking to join an ever evolving and rapidly growing team? PIM Brands might just be exactly what you’re looking for! At PIM, We Make The Brands You Love®. Our portfolio of products, from Welch’s® Fruit Snacks to Sun-Maid® Chocolate Raisins and Sour Jacks® Sour Candies are enjoyed by millions of consumers every day.

We are looking for a SAP Finance IT Lead interested in a career with a top ranked and growing snack company, to join our IT department at PIM’s Headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey. This position will report to our Senior Director, SAP Center of Excellence."
That's overview. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Job Overview". Use heading "About the role". Provide paragraph.
Then "Job Overview" section: "This experienced SAP COE Finance Lead will support and optimize our SAP S/4HANA environment. This role will be responsible for the stabilization, enhancement, and governance of finance-related SAP capabilities including Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling (CO), SAP Ariba Procure-to-Pay processes, and financial integrations with SAP SuccessFactors. The Finance Lead will serve as the primary liaison between Finance, Procurement, HR, and IT, ensuring SAP solutions support financial reporting, compliance, and operational efficiency across the enterprise."
Could be part of About the role or separate. We'll combine.
Then Responsibilities: list bullet points.
Responsibilities sections: Finance Application Stabilization, Finance Functional Leadership, Ariba Financial Process Ownership, SuccessFactors Financial Integration, Continuous Improvement & Enhancements, Governance & Change Management, Stakeholder Engagement, Team Leadership & Knowledge Transfer.
We need to put each as
- items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a single list of responsibilities with each bullet as a duty. Could also separate subheadings? But we only have heading for Responsibilities; inside we can have paragraphs? Probably better to have each duty as
- . We'll include the detailed description inside each li.
Then Qualifications: list bullet points.
Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or related field; 8–12+ years of SAP experience with deep expertise in FICO; Experience supporting SAP S/4HANA finance environments; Experience working with SAP Ariba Procure-to-Pay solutions; Understanding of HR/Payroll financial integrations with SAP SuccessFactors; Strong knowledge of end-to-end finance and procurement processes; Experience operating in an SAP COE or post-go-live support model; Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills; Travel 25% to our Somerset, NJ manufacturing factory location.
Preferred Qualifications: separate? Could be under Qualifications or separate "Preferred Qualifications". But we only have headings: Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Preferred could go under Qualifications as additional bullet points maybe with note "Preferred". Or we could create a separate section "Preferred Qualifications" but not in allowed headings. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive. Could we add "Preferred Qualifications"? Might be okay but better to stick to given list. We'll include preferred qualifications within Qualifications section, maybe as a sub-list or note.
Skills: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications: communication, leadership, stakeholder management, etc. But we already have them. Could create Skills section listing: SAP S/4HANA Finance, SAP Ariba Procure-to-Pay, SAP SuccessFactors integration, etc. But we must not invent. We'll pull from qualifications: deep expertise in FICO, SAP S/4HANA finance, SAP Ariba Procure-to-Pay, HR/Payroll integrations, end-to-end finance and procurement processes, SAP COE/post-go-live support, communication, leadership, stakeholder management. We'll put those as Skills.
Benefits: from "We Are Proud To Offer The pay range..." Actually benefits: Comprehensive benefits package - EFFECTIVE DAY 1, Including medical, dental, vision, disability, insurance plans and much more; Total compensation package including bonus, 401(k) plan match and other incentives; Diverse range of benefit choices; Personal time off, vacation time, floating days and observed holidays; Business casual dress; Entrepreneurial and innovative culture offering the opportunity for internal career advancement; Professional development and training opportunities; Awards & Accolades list (maybe not benefits). We'll include benefits as list.
Pay: The pay range: $140,000.00 - $150,000. Also note that compensation decisions consider many factors. We'll include Pay section with that range.
Schedule: Worksite: Monday thru Friday on-site; Work remotely once per month on a Friday; Summer Fridays between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. So schedule: On-site Monday-Friday, remote one Friday per month, Summer Fridays (Memorial Day to Labor Day) remote? We'll put schedule details.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, e-Verify, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. Also remove "Awards & Accolades" maybe not needed but could be considered benefits? It's not a benefit per se but could be included under Benefits? Might be considered extra info but not required. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep awards & accolades as they are substantive. Could be placed under a section like "About the company" but not in headings list. Could we add a section "Company Overview"? Not in allowed headings but maybe okay as "About the role" includes company description. Awards could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section "Company Highlights". But to stay safe, we could include them under About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not.
We'll output HTML fragment only.
Let's craft:
