Associate Director, Biostatistics
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph about BMS culture, purpose, etc. That's "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the position summary and culture description. We'll treat that as About the role.
- Position Summary: "The Associate Director of Biostatistics is a member of cross-functional Development teams and contributes to trial design, protocol development, analysis planning, interpretation of results, and preparation of regulatory submissions. With appropriate experience, the Associate Director of Biostatistics can have responsibilities for supporting a particular indication of an asset. These individuals develop collaborative relationships and work effectively with the Biostatistics indication/asset Lead, and other cross functional team members."
- Key Responsibilities: list of bullet points (each line starts with a verb). We'll put those under Responsibilities.
- Qualifications & Experience: list of bullet points (PhD..., Proficiency..., Great interpersonal..., Expertise..., Good understanding..., Demonstrate collaboration..., Demonstrate ability..., People manager experience is preferred...). We'll put under Qualifications (or Requirements?). The instructions say we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have qualifications and experience; we could put under Qualifications. Also maybe Skills: we have proficiency in SAS/R/Python, interpersonal, communication, writing, organizational skills, etc. Could be Skills. But we can combine qualifications and skills into Qualifications section if we want fewer sections. However we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including experience and skills), Benefits, Pay. Possibly Schedule not present (no schedule info). So we omit Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Why You Should Apply" maybe considered fluff but it's substantive? It includes culture, benefits, encouragement to apply. Might be considered part of About the role or Benefits? It includes "We offer a wide variety of competitive benefits..." which is benefits. Also "We hire for skills and capabilities..." is generic. We'll keep the part about benefits and maybe incorporate into Benefits section. The "Why You Should Apply" also includes mission statement; could be part of About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: compensation ranges for Madison - Giralda - NJ - US and Princeton - NJ - US: $189,670 - $229,834. Also note about discretionary incentive cash and stock opportunities. Also mention that starting pay range is for full-time employees. Also mention compensation programs reviewed etc.
Benefits: detailed description: comprehensive benefit plans – wellbeing support, retirement and financial protection benefits, insurance offerings (medical, dental, vision, life and disability). U.S.-based exempt employees eligible for Flexible Time Off (FTO) with paid time off without set accrual limit, manager approval, plus 11 paid company holidays each year. Non-exempt employees, RayzeBio employees, and employees located in Puerto Rico receive 160 hours of paid vacation annually for new hires (subject to manager approval), 11 paid company holidays, and 3 optional holidays. Depending on eligibility, employees may also have access to additional time-off benefits, including paid sick leave, up to two paid volunteer days per year, summer hours flexibility, and leaves of absence for medical, personal, parental, caregiver, bereavement, or military needs. Eligible employees also enjoy an annual Global Shutdown between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. U.S.-based job seekers can explore full benefit offerings at https://careers.bms.com/benefits
We need to keep that.
Also "How We Work" about work models: site-essential, site-by-design, field-based and remote-by-design. The model assigned to this role is based on its core responsibilities. Learn more at https://careers.bms.com/ways-of-working. This could be considered Schedule? Not exactly schedule but work model. Could be considered under "How We Work" but not a standard heading. Since we only have allowed headings, we could put this under About the role or maybe under Benefits? Not appropriate. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can create a section "How We Work" but not allowed headings. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "e.g." meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It might imply we should use those headings when appropriate, but we could also use other headings? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are the expected headings. It also says "Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should stick to those headings. The "How We Work" content could be placed under About the role or maybe under Benefits? Not ideal but we can incorporate into About the role as part of description of work environment. That would preserve the info.
Also "Supporting People With Disabilities", "Candidate Rights", "Data Protection" are legal/EEO boilerplate; we should remove.
Also "R1606554 : Associate Director, Biostatistics" at end is job ID; we should drop or fold into short
. Probably drop.
