We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description: "Cohesity is a leader...". We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse content: - Intro about company: maybe "About the role" or "About the company"? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (How You'll Spend Your Time), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (What We're Looking For), Benefits (benefits framework), Pay (Pay Range), Schedule (In-Office Expectations). Also maybe "Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration" is part of responsibilities. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Data Privacy Notice, EEO statement, etc. Also remove "LI-NK1 Disclosure" maybe not needed. Also remove "Data Privacy Notice for Job Candidates", "Equal Employment Opportunity Employer (EEOE)", etc. Also remove "In-Office Expectations" maybe we keep as Schedule? Actually schedule is about in-office expectations. So we can put that under Schedule section. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract substantive content: Company description: "Cohesity is a leader in AI-powered data security and management. Aided by an extensive ecosystem of partners, Cohesity makes it easy to secure, protect, manage, and get value from data — across the data center, edge, and cloud. Cohesity helps organizations defend against cybersecurity threats with comprehensive data security and management capabilities, including immutable backup snapshots, AI-based threat detection, monitoring for malicious behavior, and rapid recovery at scale. We’ve been named a Leader by multiple analyst firms and have been globally recognized for Innovation, Product Strength, and Simplicity in Design. Join us on our mission to shape the future of our industry." That's about the company, could go under About the role? Actually About the role could include company overview and role purpose. We'll put that as About the role. Role description: "Cohesity is seeking a Vice President of Supply Chain, Manufacturing Operations and Service Logistics to lead the end-to-end operational backbone that gets our data security and management appliances built, shipped, and supported around the world. This leader owns supply chain planning, contract manufacturing and quality/test operations, and global service logistics — including RMA fulfillment, spares management, and field service dispatch — ensuring Cohesity can scale reliably while delivering an exceptional customer experience. This is a highly cross-functional, senior leadership role reporting into Global Operations, with direct influence on product availability, cost, quality, and customer satisfaction." That's also part of About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role includes overview. Then responsibilities: "How You'll Spend Your Time" with subsections: Supply Chain Strategy & Planning, Manufacturing Operations, Service Logistics & Global Support Operations, Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration. We'll turn those into bullet lists under Responsibilities. We need to preserve all substantive info, not summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet point as
  • preserving the text. Let's extract bullet points: Under Supply Chain Strategy & Planning: - Own end-to-end supply chain strategy across demand planning, S&OP, procurement, and inventory management for Cohesity's hardware appliance portfolio. - Executive level vendor engagement and management focused on technology alignment, pricing optimization, and supply assurance. - Balance inventory investment against service levels and lead times, driving continuous improvement in forecast accuracy and working capital efficiency. - Build resilience into the supply base through dual-sourcing, risk assessment, and proactive component/EOL management. Manufacturing Operations: - Direct contract manufacturing (CM) partners and internal manufacturing operations, including production planning, test/quality processes, and manufacturing systems (e.g., test data and reporting). - Drive first-pass yield, throughput, and quality metrics across CM sites; own root-cause and corrective action processes for manufacturing defects and field failures. - Own NPI (new product introduction) operations readiness in partnership with Engineering and Product Management. Service Logistics & Global Support Operations: - Set strategic direction for global RMA and spares logistics — including parts dispatch, depot repair, advance replacement programs, and field engineer coverage — while empowering functional leaders to own day-to-day execution. - Define SLA targets and service-level tiers for parts delivery and technician dispatch (e.g., 4-hour/next-business-day commitments), and hold the organization accountable to RMA cycle time and SLA-attainment goals. - Shape the long-term network strategy for third-party logistics, depot repair, and field service partners, ensuring global coverage, scalability, and cost efficiency as the business grows. Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration: - Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing global team across supply chain, manufacturing operations, and service logistics functions. - Partner closely with Sales, Customer Support, Product Engineering, Finance, and Legal to align operational capacity with business growth and customer commitments (SLAs, entitlements, contracts). - Own and report key operating metrics (e.g., on-time delivery, inventory turns, RMA cycle time, cost per repair) to executive leadership. Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What We're Looking For" includes: - 12+ years of progressive supply chain, manufacturing, and/or service logistics leadership experience, including 5+ years in a senior leadership role, ideally in enterprise hardware/technology or data infrastructure. - Proven track record managing contract manufacturers, global logistics networks, and service/RMA operations at scale. - Strong analytical and systems background (ERP/NetSuite, Salesforce Field Service or similar, manufacturing test/quality systems) with the ability to translate data into operational decisions. - Experience building and leading global, cross-functional teams, with excellent executive communication and stakeholder management skills. - Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, or related field; MBA or advanced degree a plus. We could split into Requirements (experience), Qualifications (education), Skills (analytical, systems, leadership). But we can just put all under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: use headings as appropriate. We'll create sections: Requirements (experience), Qualifications (education), Skills (systems background, communication). But we need to ensure we don't create thin sections with placeholder. We have real content for each. Let's decide: - Requirements: 12+ years experience, 5+ years senior leadership, proven track record managing CM, global logistics, service/RMA at scale. - Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, or related field; MBA or advanced degree a plus. - Skills: Strong analytical and systems background (ERP/NetSuite, Salesforce Field Service or similar, manufacturing test/quality systems) with ability to translate data into operational decisions; experience building and leading global cross-functional teams; excellent executive communication and stakeholder management skills. We could also combine Skills and Qualifications but okay. Benefits: "Additionally, full-time employees are eligible to participate in our comprehensive benefits framework, including health and wellness benefits, vacation, paid holidays and refresh days, 401(k) retirement plan, life and disability insurance coverages, and other benefits the Company may offer from time to time." Also earlier: "This position may also be eligible for bonus compensation, commission (if in a sales function), and/or equity grants." That's compensation but not benefits. We'll include under Benefits maybe also mention bonus, equity. Pay: "Pay Range : $306,000.00-$340,000.00" and note about compensation based on annualized hourly rate. Also mention starting pay range etc. We'll include Pay section with that range. Schedule: "In-Office Expectations Cohesity employees who are within a reasonable commute (e.g. within a forty-five (45) minute average travel time) work out of our core offices 2-3 days a week of their choosing. We strongly prefer candidates who are currently located in or near the designated job location. Candidates outside the area should apply only if they are committed to relocating prior to their start date and have the legal right to work in the job location." We'll put that under Schedule. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, Data Privacy Notice, LI-NK1 Disclosure, etc. Also remove "Disclosure Pursuant to Applicable State Equal Pay Transparency Laws - This position has a starting pay range as listed below. Actual salary depends upon many factors..." That's actually part of Pay info; we need to keep the pay range but we can discard the explanatory text? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The explanatory text about actual salary depends on factors is substantive? It's about pay determination. Might be considered substantive. However, we already have Pay Range. The text says: "This position may also be eligible for bonus compensation, commission (if in a sales function), and/or equity grants." That's also substantive. We'll keep that. We need to remove "Disclosure Pursuant to Applicable State Equal Pay Transparency Laws - This position has a starting pay range as listed below." That's basically intro to pay range; we can keep the pay range and maybe the bonus eligibility line. We'll keep the pay range and bonus eligibility. We must not include application instructions like "If you are an individual with a disability..." that's EEO/accommodation; remove. Now produce HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    ... company description + role overview ...

    Responsibilities

    • ... (maybe group under subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings besides h3. We could embed subheadings as strong text inside li? Not specified. Probably just list all responsibilities as li. Could also include subheadings as inside li. That's okay. We'll list each bullet as li. We need to preserve the subheadings? Could include them as part of li text: e.g., "Supply Chain Strategy & Planning: Own end-to-end..." but that changes formatting. Might be okay. But we can just list each bullet as separate li without subheading; still preserve content. Better to keep subheadings as part of li for clarity. Let's do:
    • Supply Chain Strategy & Planning: Own end-to-end supply chain strategy across demand planning, S&OP, procurement, and inventory management for Cohesity's hardware appliance portfolio.
    • Supply Chain Strategy & Planning: Executive level vendor engagement and management focused on technology alignment, pricing optimization, and supply assurance.
    • ... etc. But that repeats the subheading many times. Could instead group under a subheading inside li? Not ideal. Alternative: we could create nested
        but not required. Given instruction: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can just list each duty as li, preserving the text exactly as in posting (including the subheading phrase). The original bullet points start with a bolded heading? In the posting they are like: **Supply Chain Strategy & Planning** Own end-to-end supply chain strategy... So we can keep that as two separate lines? Actually the posting shows heading then description. We could treat heading as part of the duty text: "Supply Chain Strategy & Planning: Own end-to-end supply chain strategy..." That's preserving. Thus each li will be like: "Supply Chain Strategy & Planning: Own end-to-end supply chain strategy across demand planning, S&OP, procurement, and inventory management for Cohesity's hardware appliance portfolio." Similarly for others. Let's extract each duty exactly as in posting: Supply Chain Strategy & Planning: - Own end-to-end supply chain strategy across demand planning, S&OP
