Sr. Global Sourcing Specialist (Promotional / Hardgoods)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to keep substantive info: location, work schedule, job summary, experience requirements, job skills and traits, duties & responsibilities, additional details (travel, financial responsibility, strategic planning, direct reports), why this role, why BDA? core values, salary range, benefits description. We need to map to sections. Possible sections: - About the role (maybe job summary) - Responsibilities (duties & responsibilities) - Requirements (experience requirements) - Qualifications (maybe education + experience) - Skills (job skills and traits) - Benefits (benefits description) - Pay (salary range) - Schedule (location and remote/hybrid schedule) We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include location and schedule info: "Location: This role is based in Woodinville, WA and requires you to work onsite 4 days per week, with 1 day remote. We will also consider the following office locations: Troy, MI or Atlanta, GA or Dallas, TX or Austin, TX or New York, NY or Indianapolis, IN To be considered, you must live within commuting distance, as regular in-person collaboration is a key part of the role." That's schedule/location info. Could be under Schedule section. Pay: salary range $100,000 to $125,000 plus description. Benefits: robust PTO; vacation, a paid volunteer day, holidays and summer Fridays, Benefits; medical, dental, vision, life, and AD&D insurance, 401k; tuition reimbursement, mental health and financial wellness programs and professional development opportunities including tuition reimbursement. Certain revenue-generating positions may be eligible for incentive compensation. Also maybe mention "Why BDA?" core values could be part of About the role or separate but we only have limited headings. Could incorporate into About the role. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. We need to include all duties, experience requirements, skills, etc. Let's extract details.
