for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details like: role description, responsibilities bullet points, day in the life, about the team, benefits summary, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, skills (maybe from responsibilities), pay ranges, schedule (travel, office, relocation).
We need to avoid duplication. Ensure we don't repeat same sentences.
Let's extract content.
Introductory description (first paragraph): "Are you a strategic, relationship-driven leader who wants to shape how Amazon partners with its most critical vendors across a world-class fulfillment network? Do you thrive at the intersection of supply chain strategy, vendor performance management, and workforce development? Does the challenge of building portfolio-wide vendor accountability frameworks that drive measurable improvement across hundreds of projects appeal to you? If you are looking for a high-impact role where you will influence sourcing decisions, develop contingent workforce pathways, and drive systemic improvements across a portfolio of 450+ projects valued at $5B+. Amazon Global Engineering Services (GES) is searching for an innovative and solutions-oriented Sr. Supply Chain Manager to serve as the Vendor Process Lead within our NA Startup Support organization. This role operates horizontally across the full vendor portfolio, rather than owning specific vendor relationships vertically, you will own the strategy, standards, and performance frameworks that make the entire vendor ecosystem stronger every year. You will be responsible for developing scorecards and performance frameworks, influencing Amazon's vendor sourcing strategy in partnership with Global Procurement Operations, building structured development pathways for contingent workers, and maintaining the analytical tools and dashboards that give leadership visibility into vendor portfolio health.

This role requires up to 25% regional travel and availability to work from a corporate office when not traveling. Candidates should either live near or be willing to relocate within a reasonable commuting distance of the office. Relocation assistance may be provided."
That's a lot; could be split into About the role (overview) and maybe Schedule (travel). We'll put travel in Schedule.

"A day in the life" paragraph: "Global Engineering Services (GES) NA Startup Support operates at the intersection of strategic vendor management and engineering execution across North America. A day in the life may involve reviewing vendor scorecard data to identify systemic performance patterns, conducting a strategic planning session with your IAS/TVM counterpart on sourcing alignment, facilitating a vendor executive business review, or presenting portfolio risk assessments to GES leadership. You will engage with vendor executives, coordinate with GPO on sourcing decisions, align with execution teams on field performance, and drive cross-portfolio intelligence that no single project team can see. The Vendor Management function is highly collaborative, working daily to make vendor performance consequential, vendor relationships strategic, and Amazon's supply base stronger every year."
"About The Team" paragraph: "The Vendor Management function within NA Startup Support is a strategy-focused team that manages Amazon's vendor relationships across the full portfolio, from qualification through active project execution, performance accountability, and continuous improvement.

We build strategic relationships that unlock decisions site-level teams cannot reach, see patterns across the portfolio that no single project can see, and act on them before they repeat. We partner closely with IAS/TVM (technical vendor strategy), execution teams, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure that vendor management is both technically sound and strategically managed."
