Sourcing Coordinator

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate. So we can have: - About the role (position summary) - Responsibilities - Minimum Qualifications (maybe "Qualifications") - Preferred Qualifications (maybe "Preferred Qualifications" but not in list; could be under Qualifications? But we can still use "Preferred Qualifications" as heading if content exists. The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. Safer to stick to examples: we could combine Minimum and Preferred under "Qualifications" with subheadings? But they said use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "Qualifications" heading and inside we can have both minimum and preferred as paragraphs or lists. However they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine. But we also have "Education & Experience" which could be part of Qualifications. We have "Relevant Working Conditions & Physical Demands" which could be under "Requirements"? Not exactly. Could be "Requirements". The list includes "Requirements" as example. So we could put working conditions under Requirements. Schedule: we have hybrid schedule info -> Schedule section. Thus we can have sections: - About the role (position summary) - Responsibilities - Qualifications (includes Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Education & Experience) - Requirements (includes Working Conditions & Physical Demands) - Schedule We must not include Benefits, Pay unless present. Now we need to extract content. Let's gather prose: Company description: "Implus Footcare, LLC is an industry-leading global consumer packaged goods company with 16 brands in fitness and athletic performance, movement and flexibility, lifestyle hosiery and footwear accessories, and outdoor. Our product categories are sold in over 80,000 retail locations worldwide. Implus is headquartered in Research Triangle Park in Durham, NC with locations in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, South Africa, and Japan. Our brand family includes SKLZ, Perfect, Balega, TriggerPoint, Harbinger, RockTape, Sport-Brella, Yaktrax, DryGuy, Little Hotties, Sof Sole, Spenco, Airplus, SofComfort, ForceField, and Sneaker Balls. At Implus we are committed to creating and sustaining an inclusive culture. We encourage & value different perspectives and are seeking a Sourcing Coordinator who shares our commitment to inclusivity and enjoys working collaboratively with colleagues from diverse backgrounds." Position Summary: "Position Summary As a Sourcing Coordinator you will play a vital role in our Hosiery (Socks) and Soft Accessories team success. Reporting to the Sourcing Director, this execution- focused role will coordinate private label programs during the production phase, serving as a key liaison between customers, vendors, and internal teams." We could combine company description and position summary under About the role? Probably better to have About the role include both company overview and position summary. But the instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings. It didn't forbid including company description. So we can put all that prose under About the role. Now Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Essential Job Function" and following sentences. Let's extract each bullet: - Primary lead for communication and requirements between Implus and Private Label customers during the production phase. - Manage customer requests related to vendor sustainability and environmental certifications, partnering with factories to gather, validate, and submit accurate information. - Provide status updates on sample progress, including Pre Production (PP) and Top Of Production (TOP) submissions, ensuring visibility while protecting production timelines. - Own end-to-end tracking for designated products from Buy Ready approval through bulk shipping (XF), partnering closely with Merchandising, Product Development, and Sourcing. - Manage product approval processes, communicate customer requirements to factories, and address vendor questions promptly. - Communicate approval timelines and proactively follow up with customers to keep programs on schedule. - Maintain organized, accurate, and accessible documentation to support issue resolution and provide historical program visibility. - Manage Implus and customer portals, including Inspectorio and D365 PO activities, ensuring all data is uploaded accurately and on time. - Support new vendor onboarding under the guidance of the Sourcing Director, coordinating required documentation. - Monitor vendor audit and corrective action (CAP) progress, partnering with the Sourcing Director and Asia-based SRG teams to ensure timely completion. - Request and track additional bulk samples from TOP stage as needed by the Merchandising team. - Maintain internal system’s costing accuracy and goods in transit (GIT) invoices to avoid import delays. That's the responsibilities. Now Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications list: - Knowledge/Skills/Abilities - Intermediate Excel skills for reporting and processing data. - Strong cross-functional coordination with a team mindset and an ability to work independently. - Detailed with exceptional follow-up, timeline management, and a proactive mindset. - Experience working in cloud-based tools such as share-point and D365 - 1-3 years of relevant work experience, references upon request. But the formatting is weird: "Experience working in cloud-based tools such as share-point and D3651-3 years of relevant work experience, references upon request." Probably missing space. We'll treat as two items: Experience working in cloud-based tools such as share-point and D365; 1-3 years of relevant work experience, references upon request. Preferred Qualifications: - Preferred experience in apparel or accessories with basic knowledge of knit materials. - Supply chain or production background. - Knowledgeable or interested in geopolitical regulations in reference to global manufacturing. Education & Experience: - A bachelor's degree in a related field of study OR a combination of education & experience will be considered. Now Requirements (Working Conditions & Physical Demands): List: - Observe/Identify: The ability to observe details at close range (within a few feet of the observer). - Hearing: Ability to effectively communicate with co-workers, customers and vendors. - Operate: Write, type and use the telephone, copier, and computer systems. - Stationary position: Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50- 75% of the time. - Mobility: Occasionally move about inside the office to access file cabinets, office machinery, attend meetings, etc. - Communicate: Ability to communicate information and ideas so others will understand. Must be able to exchange accurate information in these situations. - Move/Transport: Ability to occasionally move boxes weighing up to 25 lbs. across office for various needs with or without accommodations - Exposed: Standard climate-controlled office setting Occasional exposure to open air, warehouse setting We can format as list items. Schedule: - This hybrid role requires 1-2 days per week in the Durham, NC office, or as business needs require. Now we need to output HTML fragment with h3 headings and appropriate ul/li or p. We must not include any extra text outside HTML. Let's craft:
