We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, accommodation, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to parse the job description.
Let's extract content:
Role Summary paragraph: "The Associate Director, US Marketing Engagement - HIV Prep will serve as a strategic analytics and insights partner to US HIV Prep Marketing. The role will translate complex patient, prescriber, market, access, and performance data into clear business insights that strengthen brand strategy, launch readiness, execution, and measurement. The successful candidate will combine strong healthcare data fluency, cross-functional leadership, and an understanding of HIV Prep dynamics."
That's about the role.
Primary Responsibilities: list bullet points.
We need to put under
Responsibilities
with- each.
Responsibilities list:
- Partner with US HIV Prep Marketing leaders to define key business questions, analytical priorities, success measures, and an integrated insights plan aligned with brand and portfolio objectives.
- Lead patient journey, market map, Prep dynamics, source-of-business, switching, adherence, persistence, HCP/account opportunity, segmentation, and early-adopter analyses.
- Develop launch and in-market KPI frameworks, tracking plans, dashboards, and decision-focused readouts that connect execution to business outcomes.
- Integrate patient, HCP, account, payer, geography, and performance data into a coherent fact base, clearly communicating assumptions and limitations.
- Collaborate with Marketing, Market Research, Forecasting, Market Access, Data Strategy, Advanced Analytics, Finance, field-facing partners, and global teams.
- Translate analytical findings into concise executive narratives, recommendations, and actions; guide internal and external analytics partners and assure quality.
Data And Database Experience: This seems like part of qualifications/skills. It lists relevant experience includes several of the following: IQVIA eLAAD..., Komodo..., IQVIA Xponent..., APLD..., Data integration..., SQL and large relational..., proficiency with Python, R, SAS, Databricks, Snowflake, Power BI, or Tableau is strongly valued.
HIV Prep Analytics Focus: bullet points.
Required Qualifications: bullet list.
Preferred Qualifications: bullet list.
Leadership Capabilities: bullet list.
Measures Of Success: bullet list.
Required Skills: list of many skills (looks like a long list). Preferred Skills: includes "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only" etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove.
Also there is salary range: "The salary range for this role is $156,900.00 - $247,000.00". That's Pay.
Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits. Available benefits include medical, dental, vision healthcare and other insurance benefits (for employee and family), retirement benefits, including 401(k), paid holidays, vacation, and compassionate and sick days. More information about benefits is available at https://jobs.merck.com/us/en/compensation-and-benefits."
We need to include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does, so include.
Schedule: Not indicated? There's "Travel Requirements 10% Flexible Work Arrangements Hybrid Shift Not Indicated". That's schedule info? It mentions flexible work arrangements hybrid, travel 10%. Could be considered schedule. The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state flexible work arrangements hybrid, travel 10%, shift not indicated. So we can include Schedule with that info.
Pay: include salary range.
Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (like "Analytical Reports, Analytical Reports," appears twice). We need to preserve all substantive info; but we can deduplicate within Required Skills list? The list includes "Analytical Reports, Analytical Reports, Base SAS, Business Alignment, Business Analysis, Business Decisions, Business Intelligence (BI), Dashboard Development, Data Analysis, Database Design, Database Queries, Data Engineering, Data Modeling, Data Science, Data Visualization, Executive Leadership, Machine Learning (ML), Partner Relationship Management (PRM), Performance Dashboards, Problem Identification, Report Analysis, Software Development, Stakeholder Management, Stakeholder Relationship Management, Strategic Analysis {+ 4 more}". We should keep the list but maybe remove duplicate "Analytical Reports". Keep one.
Preferred Skills: "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only" is boilerplate; also maybe other preferred skills like "Master's degree or PhD...". Actually that is under Preferred Qualifications. Preferred Skills section after that seems to be just those lines; we should discard because they are not substantive skills. The Preferred Skills list after that is just those lines; we can omit Preferred Skills section entirely if no real content. However there might be other preferred skills earlier? The text shows "Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". That's it. So we should not create a Preferred Skills section because it's just boilerplate.
Now Required Skills: we need to include as a section if there is real specific content. Yes there is a list of skills. We'll include.
Now we need to decide headings: About the role (role summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements, Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications. Or combine? The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. Thus: - About the role: role summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: list. - Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Skills: Required Skills list (maybe also include Data And Database Experience and HIV Prep Analytics Focus? Those could be part of Skills or Requirements? But they are substantive content about experience and focus. Could be placed under Skills or maybe under Requirements? The instruction says we should preserve all substantive information. We need to decide where to put them. Could create a separate section like "Experience" but not in allowed headings. We could incorporate them into Skills or Requirements. Since they are about experience and focus, maybe they belong under Skills (technical skills) or Requirements (experience). However we already have Required Qualifications (education, years). The Data And Database Experience and HIV Prep Analytics Focus are more about specific experience areas; could be placed under Skills as well. But we also have a Skills section for technical skills list. Might be better to create a section "Experience" but not allowed. We could put them under Requirements as bullet points (experience requirements). However the Required Qualifications already includes education and years; we could add extra bullet points for experience specifics. That would preserve info. Similarly HIV Prep Analytics Focus could be under Requirements as well. Alternatively we could create a section "Qualifications" for both required and preferred? But we already have separate. Let's think: The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should not create many sections with little content. We have many sections already: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 8 sections. Might be okay if each has substantive content. We need to ensure each section has real specific content, not filler. Let's allocate: - About the role: role summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of 6 bullets. - Requirements: combine Required Qualifications + Data And Database Experience + HIV Prep Analytics Focus? Might be too much but still substantive. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Skills: Required Skills list (deduplicated) plus maybe proficiency with tools etc? But those are already in Data And Database Experience. Could move those to Skills. - Benefits: benefits paragraph. - Pay: salary range sentence. - Schedule: flexible work arrangements, travel 10%, hybrid, shift not indicated. We need to avoid duplication: Data And Database Experience includes proficiency with Python, R, SAS, Databricks, Snowflake, Power BI, or Tableau. That's similar to skills list. We'll keep skills list as is (maybe we can incorporate those tools there). To avoid duplication, we could omit the tools from Skills list if they appear elsewhere, but we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep them in either place but not duplicate exactly same phrase. The skills list includes many items but not those specific tools. It includes Base SAS, etc. It does not include Python, R, Databricks, Snowflake, Power BI, Tableau explicitly. So we can keep them separate. Thus Skills list will be the long list (deduplicated). We'll also include maybe "Base SAS" etc. Now we need to strip out boilerplate like "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". Also remove accommodation lines, EEO, etc. Also remove "Search Firm Representatives Please Read Carefully ..." lines. Also remove "Employee Status Regular Relocation: Domestic VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 10% Flexible Work Arrangements Hybrid Shift Not Indicated Valid Driving License No Hazardous Material(s) n/a Job Posting End Date 10/12/2026 A job posting is effective until 11:59:59PM on the day BEFORE the listed job posting end date. Please ensure you apply to a job posting no later than the day BEFORE the job posting end date. Requisition ID:R418880". We'll keep only the schedule info (10% travel, flexible work arrangements hybrid). The rest is boilerplate. Now we need to format as HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, About the role:
