Sr. Manager- Strategic Sourcing MRO

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Company Description, Job Description (Essential duties), Qualifications, Skills, Additional Information (EEO etc) which we should remove. Also Compensation & Benefits Details includes salary range and benefits details. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Company Description: description of WD. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes company description and overview. We'll put company description under "About the role". - Job Description: Essential duties and responsibilities: list of duties. We'll put under "Responsibilities" as

• . - Qualifications: Required: Bachelor's degree with 10+ years experience etc. Also MBA or JD preferred. We'll put under "Qualifications". Possibly also "Requirements"? The spec includes both Requirements and Qualifications headings. We need to decide which to use. Usually "Requirements" for required qualifications, "Qualifications" for preferred? But we have both required and preferred. We could put required under "Requirements" and preferred under "Qualifications". However spec says use headings as given; we can include both if content exists. Let's include "Requirements" for required qualifications (Bachelor's degree with 10+ years experience, etc.) and "Qualifications" for preferred (MBA or JD preferred). Also there is "Skills" section: list of skills. - Compensation & Benefits Details: includes salary range and benefits description. So we need "Pay" section for salary range, and "Benefits" section for benefits list. - Schedule: Not mentioned; no schedule info. So we should not include Schedule. - Additional Information includes EEO etc which we remove. - Also there is "Full-timeJob Type (exemption status): Exempt position - Please see related compensation & benefits details below". That's metadata; we can fold into a short

  maybe under About the role? But spec says do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph with "Full-time, Exempt position." but not as heading. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract content. Company Description: "WD is building the infrastructure behind the AI-driven data economy. As AI scales, so does data. Every interaction, every model, every system generates data that must be stored, managed, and made accessible over time. That’s where we come in. We combine deep engineering expertise with global-scale manufacturing to deliver the storage systems that make AI possible, powering hyperscale data centers, cloud platforms, and enterprise infrastructure worldwide. This isn’t theoretical work. It’s real systems, at real scale, people solving some of the hardest challenges in technology today. We’re looking for people who want to build, solve, and operate at that level. Join us and let’s shape the future of data." We'll put that under About the role. Job Description: "ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:" then a paragraph with many duties separated by periods. We need to convert to list items. Let's parse: - Hire, train, develop and lead a team of sourcing professionals for the Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) commodity. - Develops and support the overall vision, strategy and execution plan for the MRO Sourcing function. - Achieving deeper alignment with stakeholders to pursue business strategies in innovation, agility and supply reliability. - Conduct RFP and lead cross functional teams through the selection process of preferred suppliers with effective scoring criteria to critically evaluate supplier proposals in accordance with company policies - Collaborate with Operations/Legal stakeholders to assess, understand, and prioritize business needs to optimize value with WD’s supply base - Conduct spend/contract/proposal analysis for MRO Services, and present recommendation’s to Sourcing and MRO leadership team - Lead negotiations on commercial procurement agreements, including, but not limited to, Master Agreements (MSA’s), Statements of Work (SOW’s), Change Orders (CO’s) balancing business deliverables, legal interests and pricing - Analyze total costs, assist business functions with ROI analysis, price and rate benchmarking and negotiate favorable business terms to leverage Western Digital purchasing power - Research market intelligence to understand cost drivers and market trends - Category Management Develop, refine and implement category strategies and tactics that enable the procurement of technology products and services at the highest value benefit to the company - Cultivate, enhance, and deepen cross functional stakeholder relationships at all levels serving as the subject matter expert on behalf of the procurement organization - Actively monitor internal/external trends, synthesize and distill the business intelligence into actionable opportunities and pipeline projects that can and will be delivered Western Digital’s bottom line on an ongoing basis - Supplier Management Manage supplier relationships with a focus on supply/contract and cost management - Lead supplier performance business reviews on a quarterly basis to enhance performance delivery from strategic partners - Mediate supplier issues and resolve supplier contract disputes as needed - Develop supplier rationalization entitlements for each category - Contract Management Evaluate processes and recommend improvements to standardize lifecycle contract and sourcing processes and systems - Ensure pricing & deliverables as negotiated are included in the contract; coordinate comparison of proposals and final contract terms - Act as liaison between Legal and the business We need to split into separate list items. Some sentences are long but we can keep as is. Qualifications: "REQUIRED: Bachelor’s degree with 10+ years of experience in indirect strategic sourcing with a multi-national organization with an emphasis in MROMBA or JD preferredExtensive experience leading sourcing initiatives of all kinds (e.g., rapid sourcing, targeted negotiations, complex category strategies, supplier relationship management, outsourcing)Contract Negotiation / Vendor Mgmt. / Influencing skills requiredExperience and expertise with sourcing & contracting ERP tools (SAP and/or Oracle)". This is messy due to missing spaces. We need to parse. Let's rewrite clearly: Required: - Bachelor’s degree with 10+ years of experience in indirect strategic sourcing with a multi-national organization with an emphasis in MRO - MBA or JD preferred - Extensive experience leading sourcing initiatives of all kinds (e.g., rapid sourcing, targeted negotiations, complex category strategies, supplier relationship management, outsourcing) - Contract Negotiation / Vendor Mgmt. / Influencing skills required - Experience and expertise with sourcing & contracting ERP tools (SAP and/or Oracle) We'll put these under Requirements heading. Qualifications (preferred): maybe just "MBA or JD preferred" but we already included as preferred under Required? Actually we could treat MBA/JD as preferred qualification. We'll put under Qualifications heading: "MBA or JD preferred". But we already listed it under Required? Better to separate: Required: Bachelor’s degree + 10+ years experience etc. Preferred: MBA or JD. However the text says "MBA or JD preferred" after the degree line. We'll treat as preferred qualification. Thus: Requirements: - Bachelor’s degree with 10+ years of experience in indirect strategic sourcing with a multi-national organization with an emphasis in MRO - Extensive experience leading sourcing initiatives of all kinds (e.g., rapid sourcing, targeted negotiations, complex category strategies, supplier relationship management, outsourcing) - Contract Negotiation / Vendor Mgmt. / Influencing skills required - Experience and expertise with sourcing & contracting ERP tools (SAP and/or Oracle) Qualifications: - MBA or JD preferred Skills: list: - Self-motivated, flexible, and creative leader, able to prioritize, multi-task, and work in a fast-paced and demanding environment. - Skilled negotiator with experience developing and executing complex negotiation strategies. - Strong leadership presence with ability to garner respect through sound technical analysis, business judgment and clear decision-making. - Excellent interpersonal skills with ability to lead, interact with, influence, resolve conflict and drive decisions among individuals from a variety of cultures and disciplines. - Excellent analytical, interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills. - Proficient with Microsoft Office applications: Excel, Word, PowerPoint We'll put under Skills heading as

  • . Pay: Salary Range: 151,700.00-202,200.00. Also mention exempt position etc. We'll put Pay section with that range. Benefits: from Compensation & Benefits Details: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid vacation time; paid sick leave; medical/dental/vision insurance; life, accident and disability insurance; tax-advantaged flexible spending and health savings accounts; employee assistance program; other voluntary benefit programs such as supplemental life and AD&D, legal plan, pet insurance, critical illness, accident and hospital indemnity; tuition reimbursement; transit; the Applause Program; employee stock purchase plan; and the WD Savings 401(k) Plan." We'll put that as list items. We should also include note about bonus eligibility etc? That is also part of Compensation & Benefits Details: includes bonuses, LTI, etc. That is substantive; we should include under Benefits or maybe separate? The spec says Benefits section for benefits. The bonus info is compensation; but we already have Pay section for salary range. Could include bonus info under Benefits as part of compensation details. However spec says only create Benefits section if posting actually states them. It does state benefits; we can include bonus info there as part of benefits. But we might also include a separate "Pay" for salary range and maybe "Benefits" for benefits and bonus info. We'll include bonus and LTI info under Benefits as part of compensation details. Let's extract bonus/LTI info: - You will be eligible to be considered for bonuses under either WD’s Short Term Incentive Plan (“STI Plan”) or the Sales Incentive Plan (“SIP”) which provides incentive awards based on Company and individual performance, depending on your role and your performance. - You may be eligible to participate in our annual Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program, which consists of restricted stock units (RSUs) or cash equivalents, pursuant to the terms of the LTI plan. Please note that not all roles are eligible to participate in the LTI program, and not all roles are eligible for equity under the LTI plan. RSU awards are also available to eligible new hires, subject to WD's Standard Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Unit Awards. We'll include these as list items under Benefits. Also note about shift differential etc: "If your position is non-exempt, you are eligible for overtime pay pursuant to company policy and applicable laws. You may also be eligible for shift differential pay, depending on the shift to which you are assigned." Since position is exempt, but still mention. Might be considered part of Pay? Could include but it's conditional. We'll include maybe as a note under Pay. We must not include boilerplate like accommodation request, EEO, privacy notice, etc. Now construct HTML. We'll start with a

    for metadata: "Full-time, Exempt position." maybe. Then sections:
