We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: Job Overview (we can treat as About the role). Responsibilities: there is a list of responsibilities. Requirements: includes Education/Certifications, Experience, Preferred Experience, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities. Could split into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
We have Education/Certifications, Experience, Preferred Experience, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities. Could combine into Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (preferred experience) and Skills (knowledge/skills/abilities). Or we could just have Requirements covering all. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for those categories if content present.
We have content for:
- About the role (Job Overview)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (Education/Certifications, Experience)
- Qualifications (Preferred Experience)
- Skills (Knowledge/Skills/Abilities)
- Benefits (Benefits section)
- Pay (Compensation section) - there is compensation description but not specific numbers. It says "UNFI anticipates paying the above-referenced pay rate (or within the above-referenced pay range)". No actual numbers. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". This is vague but still mentions pay rate but not specific. It might be considered placeholder? It says "UNFI anticipates paying the above-referenced pay rate (or within the above-referenced pay range)". There's no actual number. This is ambiguous. Probably we should omit Pay section because no concrete pay info.
- Schedule: Work Environment mentions Remote Role, but not schedule like full-time, hours. Could treat as Schedule? Not explicit. Probably omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use

We need to extract details.
About the role: The Job Overview paragraph(s). We'll combine into a
.
Responsibilities: list of bullet points from "Job Responsibilities Core Responsibilities" and subsequent sentences. We'll extract each bullet as
- . Need to ensure we capture all responsibilities.
Let's list responsibilities from text:

That's all.

Experience: 8+ years of progressive IT experience with responsibility for enterprise business applications, technology delivery, and business engagement. 3+ years of people leadership experience managing teams, vendors, and cross-functional initiatives. Demonstrated experience supporting Safety, Food Safety, Quality, Compliance, Regulatory Affairs, Risk Management, or related business functions. Experience implementing, supporting, or managing enterprise technology solutions that enable product recall management, food traceability, quality management, regulatory compliance, supplier quality, audit management, or incident management. Experience partnering with business leaders to define strategy, prioritize investments, and deliver measurable business outcomes. Strong understanding of application delivery, systems integration, technology governance, and vendor management.
We can make a list for each? Could combine into one list but better to separate? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a list for requirements items.
Qualifications: Preferred Experience: Experience with commercial Food Safety, Recall Management, Traceability, Quality Management, or EHS platforms. Experience supporting Asset Protection, Loss Prevention, Physical Security, Investigations, Fraud Prevention, or related business functions. Experience working in retail, healthcare, food and beverage, consumer products, manufacturing, distribution, or other highly regulated industries.
Skills: Knowledge/Skills/Abilities: Deep knowledge in implementing, enhanced, or supported technology platforms that enable product recall management, food traceability, quality management, and regulatory compliance. Leadership skills that include guiding and coaching direct and indirect team members. Communication skills that include senior leadership audiences, influence and negotiation. Knowledge in best practice in managing technology platforms and portfolio. Must have strong computer skills and be proficient in the use of Microsoft Office applications. Ability to create process and process design where none or little exists. Good judgment is required for this position as there may be times when direct supervision may not be immediately available.
Benefits: Benefits section: For Washington positions (or positions that may be performed remotely from Washington), link for Washington-specific paid time off details. Candidates hired into this position will also be eligible to participate in the following benefits programs: Paid Time Off; Sick Time; paid holidays and parental leave; 401K Program; medical, dental, vision, life, and accidental death/dismemberment insurance; short-term and long-term disability insurance program, Flexible Spending Account and/or Health Savings Account, subject to meeting the eligibility requirements and the terms and conditions of these programs, and subject to any requirements under applicable collective bargaining agreements. UNFI’s compensation, benefits, and paid time off policies are subject to change in the Company’s sole discretion, consistent with applicable law. This job posting should not be construed as an offer of employment with certain terms, nor should it be construed as a guaranteed minimum. Qualified applications with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance and the California Fair Chance Act.
We need to preserve all substantive information. The link is a URL; we can keep as plain text.
We should not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The benefits section includes some EEO? Actually the last part about arrest or conviction records is not EEO but maybe considered legal; but it's part of benefits? It's more about hiring practices. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The arrest/conviction records line is legal/EEO? It's about fair chance. Might be considered legal boilerplate; better to remove. Also the line about UNFI’s compensation, benefits, and paid time off policies are subject to change... could be considered legal boilerplate; maybe remove. The line about job posting not construed as an offer... also legal. So we should keep only substantive benefits: the Washington link and list of benefits programs.
Thus Benefits section:
For Washington positions (or positions that may be performed remotely from Washington), Washington-specific paid time off details. Candidates hired into this position will also be eligible to participate in the following benefits programs:
then - Paid Time Off
- Sick Time
- paid holidays and parental leave
- 401K Program
- medical, dental, vision, life, and accidental death/dismemberment insurance
- short-term and long-term disability insurance program
- Flexible Spending Account and/or Health Savings Account
We need to keep the phrase "subject to meeting the eligibility requirements and the terms and conditions of these programs, and subject to any requirements under applicable collective bargaining agreements." That's substantive? It's a condition; maybe keep as part of description after list? Could add a after list: "Eligibility subject to meeting the requirements and terms of these programs and any applicable collective bargaining agreements." That's not boilerplate; it's a condition. Keep.
Now Pay: we decided to omit because no concrete numbers.
Schedule: we have Remote Role description under Work Environment. Could treat as Schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe we can include a section "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings. The instruction only allows those headings; we could put remote info under Benefits? No. Better to omit Schedule as no explicit schedule.
