But we need to avoid repeating content. However instructions: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all info, but we can organize into sections without duplication? It says 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 doesn't forbid repeating content across sections, but better to avoid duplication. However preserving all info means we cannot omit any detail. If we put some details in Requirements and also in Skills, that's duplication but still preserving. Might be okay but could be considered redundant. Ideally we categorize: Requirements = mandatory experience/education; Qualifications = preferred qualifications; Skills = abilities/knowledge. Let's extract mandatory requirements: 3-5 years IT experience preferably 1-2 years in IT Vendor Management and/or IT Sourcing; Understanding IT products & services from a contract and vendor management perspective; Understanding commercial [pricing services] with contracting and negotiation aspect; Ability to determine contractual/financial exposure/ negotiate contracts; Knowledge of contracting trends, licensing models; Deep market knowledge of IT vendor (Application Svcs, SaaS, Consulting); Strong project and process management skills, with the ability to handle multiple vendors and multiple contracts, as well as a wide range of tasks; Knowledge of best practices for IT contract negotiation tactics and strategies; Where applicable, understanding of government and industry regulations that will influence contracting approach and vendor behavior (for example, SOX, SECURITY); Experience drafting IT Statement of Work/SLA, change order or amendment; Customer-focused approach to delivering contract management services to internal IT Supplier agreements: knowledge of legal terminology related to supplier agreements; Proven negotiation and contracting skills; Project management skills; Ability to think strategically; Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced complex environment; Knowledge of Procurement Processes and Tools; Proficient in the use of MS Excel, Word and PowerPoint, Sharepoint; Excellent communication skills both written and verbal; Education Bachelor’s degree required. Advanced degree preferred. 10+ years relevant professional experience; 7-8 years’ experience in Indirect Sourcing categories required (Project Application Development, SaaS, Maintenance Support).

Familiarity with Tools such as Archer, a plus. Strong analytical skills. Strong IT background having managed vendor as Project Manager or IT Account Manager who has delivered services to client is a plus. But note Strong analytical skills and Strong IT background already appear in requirements; but they are also listed as preferred. We'll keep them.
