Staff Strategic Sourcing Manager - Mechanical Assembly & Materials
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content.
We need to parse the job posting.
First, we need to identify sections:
- About the role: The posting includes description of Dexcom, team, role overview. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role" is not explicitly present but we can create a section summarizing the role description. However we must only include sections when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting includes "Meet The Team", "Where You Come In", "What Makes You Successful", "Preferred Qualifications", "Leadership Impact", "What You’ll Get", "Travel Required", "Education And Experience". So we can map these to headings.
We need to use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings if appropriate. It doesn't say we must use exactly those; we can use those headings if they match content. Probably we should use those headings where applicable.
Thus we need to map content to these headings:
- About the role: could include company description, team, role overview. The posting includes company description, team description, role overview. So we can put that under About the role.
- Responsibilities: likely "Where You Come In" bullet points (develop and execute..., own..., lead..., build strategies..., partner..., develop..., use..., position...). Those are responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe "What Makes You Successful" (proven strategic sourcing...). Those are requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications". Also "Education And Experience" could be qualifications. But we need to decide.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; but we could include skills from "What Makes You Successful" (negotiation, contracting, etc.) but those are more requirements. Could combine.
- Benefits: "What You’ll Get" includes benefits: front row seat, comprehensive benefits program, growth opportunities, career development, etc. Also maybe travel required? Travel is separate.
- Pay: Salary range given: $116,600.00 - $194,400.00.
- Schedule: Not given explicitly; travel required 15-25% maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule. Could be omitted.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So if schedule not present, omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:

We need to ensure we include all substantive info. Let's extract content. Company description paragraph: "The Company Dexcom Corporation (NASDAQ DXCM) is a pioneer and global leader in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Dexcom began as a small company with a big dream: To forever change how diabetes is managed. To unlock information and insights that drive better health outcomes. Here we are 25 years later, having pioneered an industry. And we're just getting started. We are broadening our vision beyond diabetes to empower people to take control of health. That means personalized, actionable insights aimed at solving important health challenges. To continue what we've started: Improving human health. We are driven by thousands of ambitious, passionate people worldwide who are willing to fight like warriors to earn the trust of our customers by listening, serving with integrity, thinking big, and being dependable. We've already changed millions of lives and we're ready to change millions more. Our future ambition is to become a leading consumer health technology company while continuing to develop solutions for serious health conditions. We'll get there by constantly reinventing unique biosensing-technology experiences. Though we've come a long way from our small company days, our dreams are bigger than ever. The opportunity to improve health on a global scale stands before us." Then "Meet The Team The Direct Materials Sourcing team is a group of category experts responsible for building resilient supply networks, securing capacity, managing total cost, enabling new product introduction, and reducing supply risk. As the Staff Strategic Sourcing Manager, you will lead sourcing strategy across Mechanical Assembly and key material categories, partnering closely with Engineering, Operations, Quality, Finance, Legal, and external suppliers to deliver business results." That could be part of About the role. Now responsibilities: "Where You Come In Develop and execute short- and long-term category strategies for mechanical assemblies, molding, metal stamping, needle manufacturing, converting, adhesives, and resins.Own the supplier relationship for assigned categories and serve as the primary commercial leader across Tier 1 suppliers and critical sub-tier suppliers.Lead supplier selection, sourcing events, negotiations, contracting, cost improvement, capacity planning, and business continuity initiatives.Build strategies that extend through the full value chain, including raw materials, tooling, manufacturing processes, contract manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, and sub-tiers.Partner with R&D, Sustaining Engineering, Operations, Quality, and NPI teams to ensure supplier readiness, manufacturability, continuity of supply, and successful product launches.Develop supplier relationship management plans, assess commercial and operational risk, and implement practical mitigation and second-source strategies.Use market intelligence, should-cost analysis, total cost of ownership, and fact-based business cases to influence decisions and secure leadership alignment.Position Strategic Sourcing as a competitive advantage for Dexcom by bringing external innovation, supplier capabilities, cost leadership, resiliency, and speed to the business." We need to split into list items. Each sentence seems a responsibility. Now requirements: "What Makes You Successful Proven strategic sourcing or category management experience supporting mechanical assemblies and related direct materials in a regulated manufacturing environment.Working knowledge of molding, metal stamping, needle manufacturing, converting, adhesives, and resins, including key manufacturing processes, cost drivers, capacity constraints, and supply market dynamics.Demonstrated ability to manage Tier 1 and sub-tier supplier relationships, including performance, commercial strategy, risk, capacity, quality, and continuity of supply.Strong negotiation, contracting, supplier relationship management, and stakeholder influence skills.Credible, engaging, and knowledgeable communication style, with the ability to build trust across technical, operational, and executive stakeholders.Ability to become a trusted business advisor for assigned categories by translating market, supplier, technical, and financial insights into clear recommendations.Ability to develop quantitative and qualitative business cases, communicate tradeoffs, and gain support from senior leadership.Proven record of delivering results in a matrix organization while leading cross-functional initiatives with clear ownership and follow-through.Strong financial analysis, market analysis, strategic planning, project management, and problem-solving capabilities.High proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint, with the ability to extract insights from complex data and communicate them with executive-level clarity." These are requirements. Preferred qualifications: "Preferred Qualifications Experience in medical device, life sciences, or another highly regulated manufacturing industry.Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, value engineering, should-cost, and total cost of ownership principles.Experience supporting new product introduction, supplier transitions, tooling, capacity expansion, and business continuity planning.Practical knowledge of eProcurement, spend analytics, supplier performance, and contract lifecycle management systems." Leadership Impact: "Leadership Impact Success in this role means creating category strategies that the business trusts, suppliers understand, and cross-functional teams can execute. The Staff Strategic Sourcing Manager is expected to bring informed judgment, strong commercial leadership, and a collaborative presence that elevates supplier relationships and positions Strategic Sourcing as a source of competitive advantage for Dexcom." That could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section but we don't have a heading for Leadership Impact; we could incorporate into Requirements or maybe Qualifications. But we should not create extra headings not in list unless we have content. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying we should use those headings for sections. It also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Leadership Impact into Requirements or Qualifications.
What You’ll Get: benefits.
Travel Required: 15-25% - maybe we could put under Benefits or a separate section? Not in list; but we could include under Benefits as a bullet.
Education And Experience: "Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 8-12 years of related experience. At this level a graduate degree may be desirable with 4 years of related experience." This is qualifications.
Thus we need to map:
- About the role: company description + team description + role overview (maybe first two paragraphs).
- Responsibilities: Where You Come In bullet points.
- Requirements: What Makes You Successful (core requirements) + Leadership Impact maybe.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications + Education And Experience.
- Skills: maybe not needed; we could omit if no specific skills section.
- Benefits: What You’ll Get + Travel Required.
- Pay: Salary range.
- Schedule: not present, omit.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce HTML:
