We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also we must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. However Pay section: posting includes compensation: "Competitive base salary commensurate with experience: $93,400-$139,700 (subject to change dependent on physical location)". That's specific numbers, so we can include Pay section with that range. Benefits: "A comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, 401(k), disability, life insurance, employee stock purchase plan, paid time off and voluntary benefits." That's specific, include Benefits. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit Schedule. Skills: maybe we can infer from qualifications? But we should only include if posting has real specific content. There's a "Competencies Values: Integrity, Accountability, Inclusion, Innovation, Teamwork". That's more values than skills. There's also "Proficient in MS office: advanced practice of Excel and Power point is a must." etc. Could treat as Skills section. However guidelines: Use headings for Skills if there is content. We have qualifications and requirements sections. Might combine? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role (Job Overview), Responsibilities (maybe from Job Requirements and typical day), Qualifications (education, experience), Skills (maybe from competencies and technical skills), Benefits, Pay. Let's extract.
About the role: The first paragraph: "At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. Job Overview Strategic Sourcing Analyst This position will support the development and execution of the Equipment, Engineering Services and Equipment Components commodity strategies, including capital equipment, automation, tooling, test equipment and related services for the TE Internal for North America region and support teammates in the creation of a best-in-class Procurement team. The qualified individual will drive the commodities to meet the key year-over-year performance indicators focusing on productivity, delivery, and quality with superior customer service to the Business Unit stakeholders. The role also requires driving leading indicators such as savings pipeline and supplier reduction, while managing commercial risk and supporting complex, cross-functional manufacturing investments."
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. So we can put that as About the role.
Responsibilities: The bullet list from "The Sourcing Analyst Will Be Expected To ..." and the "As a member of a Procurement Team..." and "As a Strategic Sourcing Analyst, a Typical Day Includes ..." plus many items. We'll combine into a
- list.
Qualifications: Education, experience, etc. The "Qualifications What your background should look like" section.
Skills: Could include "Proficient in MS office: advanced practice of Excel and Power point is a must. Proven contract management experience (writing, redlining, & detailed negotiation).

Experience with third party procurement bidding and analysis tools such as Jaggaer is a plus. Business planning and forecasting Excellent communication skills. English language skills in speech and writing. Ability to speak persuasively in front of a large audience may include everything from management to the executive level. Self-motivated individual with a positive attitude, able to work well with international teams and individuals, not afraid to push for change, but humble in approach." Also "Knowledge of Production Machines and Equipment Commodities is required." etc. Also "Experience partnering with Engineering, Operations, Finance and Legal in a matrixed, international manufacturing environment. Experience with ERP and e-sourcing systems, including SAP, is preferred." Also "Competencies Values: Integrity, Accountability, Inclusion, Innovation, Teamwork". We'll put these as Skills.

Pay: compensation range.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, fraud notice, etc.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll start with maybe not required; just headings and content.
We'll use
for each section heading. We'll put
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we must not lose details.
Let's extract About the role paragraph exactly as given but we can trim redundant? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the sentences but can we combine? It's okay to keep as is.
Let's copy:

We need to avoid duplication; some items repeat earlier points. We'll keep unique items but preserve all substantive info; duplication may be okay but we can deduplicate to avoid redundancy. The instruction: "do NOT repeat the job title as a heading" and "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." It didn't say to deduplicate content, but we should preserve ALL substantive information; duplicating is still preserving but could be considered redundant. Safer to keep as is but maybe we can combine similar points. However risk of losing detail if we deduplicate incorrectly. Safer to keep all bullet points as they appear, even if some overlap. We'll create a
- with each bullet as
- . We'll need to ensure we don't miss any. Let's list them in order as they appear in the text. I'll copy sections: From "The Sourcing Analyst Will Be Expected To": 1. Manage stakeholder relationships, through procurement expertise, responsiveness and business understanding (General Global Market / Industry and TE Internal requirements). 2.
