Strategic Sourcing Lead (Technology)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if content present. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting: - Title: "Do your Best Work in Mooresville" (but we should not repeat job title as heading). The page already shows it, so we don't output heading for title. - Content: Paragraph: "This position is based at our headquarters in Mooresville, North Carolina. Our corporate office is a space where you can collaborate and do your best work. Take a walk, grab a bite (or a cup of coffee), work out or get a check-up – we invest in you so you can find your inspiration." That's about location and environment. Could be part of "About the role" or maybe "About the company". We'll treat as "About the role" maybe. Next: "Your Impact The primary purpose of this role is to partner with key areas of the Enterprise Strategic Sourcing team to execute sourcing projects that accomplish the goals of both the organization and the business units they support. This position works closely with the sourcing manager and category manager to executive a variety of sourcing techniques that include data and baseline analysis, RFx development and contract execution. Other key components of the role include contributing to continuous improvement activities, building relationships with the business and support teams, and supporting key initiatives for the organization." That's impact description. Next: "What You Will Do Develops and executes RFPs, RFQs and RFIs, etc. as needed to support the business needsDevelops baseline analysis and current conditions for sourcing events. Consolidates vendor bid sheets. Completes initial bid analysis for sourcing events. Initiates vendor outreach and develops vendor list for sourcing events. Sets up sourcing events using appropriate E-Sourcing tools and processes. Owns and updates ESS and business partners on sourcing project updates and status of initiatives. Negotiates, processes and executes vendor NDA's and Master Agreements, while adhering to financial policies and compliance requirements. Drafts and develops Statement of Work (SOWs) with the outline of technical requirements for sourcing projects and RFX events. Coordinates necessary documentation and process for vendor on-boarding. Expected to interface frequently with customers regarding project updates and status. Builds and maintains effective customer relationships." That's responsibilities. Next: "Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree Business, Engineering, Science, or related field or equivalent years of experience in lieu of education requirement, if applicable3 years Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience in lieu of a bachelor's degree. 2+ years sourcing, market intelligence or vendor management experience. Experience in procurement, Supply Chain, Sales, Finance or similar work with an emphasis on sourcing, negotiations, and contracting3+ years business experienceKnowledge and experience using E-sourcing toolsFinancial and business acumenExperience with financial data analysis, strong PowerPoint and Excel skills" This is messy due to missing spaces. We need to parse into bullet list. Let's rewrite clearly: Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Science, or related field or equivalent years of experience in lieu of education requirement. - 3 years (maybe they meant 3 years? Actually line: "Bachelor’s degree Business, Engineering, Science, or related field or equivalent years of experience in lieu of education requirement, if applicable3 years Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience in lieu of a bachelor's degree." This seems duplicated. Let's interpret: They require Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Science, or related field OR equivalent experience. Also they require 3 years? Actually they say "3 years Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience in lieu of a bachelor's degree." Might be a mistake. We'll capture both: Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Science, or related field OR equivalent experience; plus 3 years of experience? Let's extract distinct items: - Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Science, or related field (or equivalent experience). - 3 years of experience (maybe in business?). - 2+ years sourcing, market intelligence or vendor management experience. - Experience in procurement, Supply Chain, Sales, Finance or similar work with emphasis on sourcing, negotiations, and contracting. - 3+ years business experience. - Knowledge and experience using E-sourcing tools. - Financial and business acumen. - Experience with financial data analysis, strong PowerPoint and Excel skills. We need to avoid duplication: "3+ years business experience" and "2+ years sourcing..." etc. We'll list them as bullet points. Next: "Preferred Skills/Education Master’s degree Business, Engineering, Science, or related field MBA, JD, MS, ME Project management skillsNegotiation experience" Preferred: - Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, Science, or related field (MBA, JD, MS, ME). - Project management skills. - Negotiation experience. Next: "About Lowe’s Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) is a FORTUNE® 100 home improvement company with total fiscal year 2025 sales of more than $86 billion. Lowe’s employs approximately 300,000 associates and operates over 1,750 home improvement stores, 540 branches and 120 distribution centers. Lowe’s is a core value S&P 500 equity stock and a dividend aristocrat. Based in Mooresville, N.C., Lowe’s supports the communities it serves through programs focused on creating safe, affordable housing, improving community spaces, helping to develop the next generation of skilled trade experts and providing disaster relief to communities in need. For more information, visit Lowes.com." That's company description; could be part of "About the role" or separate "About the company". Since we have only sections defined, we could put under "About the role" or maybe we can create a section "About Lowe’s" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should incorporate company info into About the role. Next: "Lowe’s is an equal opportunity employer ..." that's boilerplate EEO, remove. Next: "Starting rate of pay may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience. For information regarding our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." This mentions pay may vary and benefits link. No specific pay or benefits details, so we should NOT create Pay or Benefits sections because they are not stated concretely. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." So we omit Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: location description, impact, maybe company overview. - Responsibilities: the "What You Will Do" list. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? But we also have Qualifications and Skills sections separate. The allowed headings include Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to differentiate. Typically: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred? Or maybe Requirements = mandatory, Qualifications = preferred, Skills = preferred skills. But we have both Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Skills/Education. We'll map: - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (mandatory). - Qualifications: Preferred Skills/Education (preferred education/qualifications). - Skills: maybe we could separate technical skills? But we already have skills in preferred. Could also put "Skills" as a separate section for skills like negotiation, project management, etc. However we have limited content. Better: Use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred education, Skills for preferred skills (project management, negotiation). But the preferred section includes both education and skills. We could split: Qualifications = preferred education (Master’s degree), Skills = preferred skills (project management, negotiation). That seems reasonable. Thus: - About the role: location, impact, company overview. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. - Requirements: bullet list of minimum qualifications. - Qualifications: bullet list of preferred education (Master’s degree). - Skills: bullet list of preferred skills (project management skills, negotiation experience). We must not repeat job title heading. We must not include boilerplate. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's craft HTML. We'll use

for each section heading. Inside each section, we can have

for prose and

• for lists. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's draft About the role: Paragraph: "This position is based at our headquarters in Mooresville, North Carolina.

Take a walk, grab a bite (or a cup of coffee), work out or get a check-up – we invest in you so you can find your inspiration."

  . Now Responsibilities: list each duty. We need to extract from "What You Will Do" text. Original: "Develops and executes RFPs, RFQs and RFIs, etc. as needed to support the business needsDevelops baseline analysis and current conditions for sourcing events.
