then paragraph.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES -> Responsibilities
then maybe subheadings? But we only allowed for section headings; we could still use for sub-sections? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those. We can keep responsibilities as a single section with - for list items. However the duties are long paragraphs with bullet-like sentences. We could break into

We must remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove "WHY MSC?" etc? That's not boilerplate but it's promotional; we need to keep substantive info about benefits and culture. The "WHY MSC?" section includes some fluff but also mentions benefits. We'll extract benefits from that and OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU. We'll discard generic fluff like "People. Collaboration. Insight." but keep benefit specifics.
We must not include duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.
Brief Position Summary paragraph: "The Manager, Supplier Enablement independently leads the end-to-end Joint Business Planning (JBP) and Quarterly Business Review (QBR) cycle for an assigned portfolio of strategic suppliers within the MRO Business Unit. In partnership with Category leadership, the Manager translates MRO and category strategy into focused, measurable supplier growth plans that align MSC and supplier priorities, investments, capabilities, and resources around the highest-value opportunities. The role strengthens strategic supplier advantage by converting supplier innovation, customer and market insights, commercial opportunities, and go-to-market priorities into committed objectives, owners, measures, actions, and timelines, then driving disciplined cross-functional execution and accountability through the QBR operating rhythm. By consistently delivering agreed commitments and measurable outcomes, the Manager helps deepen supplier relationships, strengthen supplier confidence in MSC, and create greater access to investment, innovation, product-launch opportunities, promotions, and differentiated programs that drive joint growth and customer value."
We'll put that as .
Duties and Responsibilities: The posting has sections with headings: PORTFOLIO STRATEGY, PERFORMANCE & ACCOUNTABILITY; JBP & QBR PLANNING AND LEADERSHIP; GO-TO-MARKET ACTIVATION & SUPPLIER FUNDING; OPERATING MODEL, PROCESS IMPROVEMENT & DIGITAL ENABLEMENT; CULTURE & ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES.
We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll convert each bullet point under those headings into list items. However the text is paragraph style with sentences separated by periods. We could split by sentences but that may be too granular. Better to keep each duty as a list item summarizing the bullet points. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve detail; we can keep each sentence as a list item, preserving the exact wording. That would be a lot but okay.
