Supply Chain Subcontracts Specialist – Level 4 or 5
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have content: Description (intro) maybe "About the role". Then Responsibilities (list). Then Basic Qualifications (Level 4 and Level 5) - these are qualifications. Also Preferred Qualifications. Also Salary range (Pay). Also Benefits (they mention benefits). Also Travel: Yes, 10% of the Time (maybe schedule? Actually travel is not schedule but could be included under Schedule? The instruction: Use headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Travel is not schedule but maybe we can include under Schedule? But schedule refers to work schedule; travel percentage maybe not schedule. Could include under Responsibilities? Not needed. Probably we can include a "Travel" note under Responsibilities or as a separate paragraph. But we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states schedule (like shift, hours). It does not. So we omit Schedule.
We have Pay: they give Primary Level Salary Range and Secondary Level Salary Range. So we include Pay section.
Benefits: they mention variety of benefits including health insurance, life and disability insurance, savings plan, company paid holidays and PTO. So we include Benefits.
Qualifications: we have Basic Qualifications for Level 4 and Level 5, and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements/Qualifications. Use heading "Qualifications". Could also have "Requirements". The instruction: use headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications? Might be redundant. Better to pick one that fits. The posting has "Basic Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". So we can use "Qualifications" heading and include both basic and preferred as lists. Or we could split: Requirements for basic, Qualifications for preferred. But we need to avoid thin sections. Probably combine into Qualifications.
Also we might have Skills: they mention proficiency with Microsoft Office, etc. Could be under Skills. But we could also include under Qualifications. Since we have Qualifications already, we could add Skills separate if there is specific skill content. The posting mentions "Proficiency with Microsoft Office including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel" and also "Experience with SAP, Costpoint or related business application software", "Experience with Subcontract negotiations", etc. Those could be skills. But we can keep them under Qualifications.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location list, travel statement, remote work not available, etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application period, etc. Remove those.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must output only HTML fragment.
