Sourcing Manager

We need to output 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 as heading. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - About the role: The first paragraph: "The Sourcing Manager, Indirect Sourcing Supply Chain (Contract) will lead strategic initiatives to evaluate, source, and recommend a future-state warehouse and distribution network for a long-established firm based in downtown Seattle, WA. This 9month contract role, with potential for extension, focuses on developing and executing a comprehensive sourcing strategy, leading competitive RFP processes, evaluating thirdparty logistics (3PL) and warehousing partners, conducting commercial negotiations, and delivering executivelevel recommendations." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: The list after "Responsibilities". Many bullet points (though not bullet but sentences). We need to extract each duty as list items. - Essential Skills: list of skills. - Additional Skills & Qualifications: maybe combine with Qualifications? Could be Qualifications section. - Work Environment: includes schedule, location, hybrid model, etc. Could be Schedule and maybe Work Environment but we only have headings for Schedule, Benefits, Pay, etc. The schedule is described: "The schedule is Monday through Friday, with remote work on Mondays and Fridays and onsite work from Tuesday through Thursday, typically from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m." Also location: downtown Seattle, WA hybrid. - Pay And Benefits: includes pay range $55.00 - $65.00/hr and benefits list. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Possibly "Qualifications": could be Bachelor's degree etc. We need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Essential Skills, Additional Skills & Qualifications (maybe Qualifications), Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We might also include location/hybrid but maybe not needed as separate heading; could be part of About the role or Schedule. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. We have schedule content, so include Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info; we must not lose details.

This 9month contract role, with potential for extension, focuses on developing and executing a comprehensive sourcing strategy, leading competitive RFP processes, evaluating thirdparty logistics (3PL) and warehousing partners, conducting commercial negotiations, and delivering executivelevel recommendations." We should keep that exactly (maybe fix spacing: "9month" maybe should be "9‑month"? but we must preserve as given. We'll keep as is. Responsibilities: The block after "Responsibilities". It's a long paragraph with sentences separated by periods but no bullet. We need to split into list items. We'll treat each sentence as a list item. Let's extract sentences: 1.
