Associate Director, CMC Project Management
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse content:
Company description: Vir Biotechnology, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company ... (first paragraph). This is about company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the job. Could use "About the role" for the opportunity description. But we also have "What You'll Do" (responsibilities). "Who You Are And What You Bring" (requirements/qualifications/skills). "Who We Are And What We Offer" (benefits, pay). Also location and schedule: based in San Francisco office with expectation to be onsite three days per week. That's schedule info.
Salary range: expected Salary range for this position is $162,500 to $227,500 per year. Actual pay will be determined based on experience, qualifications, geographic location, and other job-related factors. Also mention compensation and benefits aligned with market, commensurate with experience. All full-time employees receive a package that includes compensation, bonus and equity as well as many other Vir Biotechnology benefits and perks such as health and welfare benefit plans, non-accrual paid time off, company shut down for holidays, commuter benefits, 401K match and lunch each day in the office.
Thus we have Pay section (salary range). Benefits section (list of benefits). Schedule section (onsite three days per week). Also location could be part of schedule or separate but we don't have a heading for location; we could include location in Schedule or maybe in About the role. But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So we must not create a Pay section if the content is just "commensurate with experience". However we have actual salary range numbers, so we can include Pay. Benefits: we have specific benefits list, so we can include Benefits. Schedule: we have onsite three days per week, so we can include Schedule.
Now we need to structure:
- About the role
: maybe include company description and opportunity summary? The "THE OPPORTUNITY" paragraph describes the role: seeking experienced project manager to lead... This is about the role. So we can put that in About the role.
- Responsibilities
: from "What You'll Do" bullet list (though not bullet but sentences). We'll convert each sentence to
- .
-
- . Now Requirements: education and experience. Education: BS or MS in Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline; advanced degrees or certifications (PhD, MBA, PMP, PMI) are preferred. Experience: 10+ years of experience in CMC Development, CMC Regulatory Affairs, Quality, Technical Operations, or related biotechnology/pharmaceutical functions, including at least 5 years of project or program management experience supporting drug development programs. We could bullet them. Now Skills: the rest. - Proven experience leading complex, cross-functional CMC programs and managing timelines,
Requirements
orQualifications
orSkills
. The "Who You Are And What You Bring" includes education, experience, skills. We could split into Requirements (education + experience) and Skills (specific abilities). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one section "Qualifications". But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We could use "Qualifications" for education/experience and "Skills" for abilities. However we must ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract: Education: BS or MS in Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline; advanced degrees or certifications (PhD, MBA, PMP, PMI) are preferred. Experience: 10+ years of experience in CMC Development, CMC Regulatory Affairs, Quality, Technical Operations, or related biotech/pharma functions, including at least 5 years of project or program management experience supporting drug development programs. Proven experience leading complex, cross-functional CMC programs and managing timelines, budgets, resources, and priorities across multiple stakeholders and development stages. Strong understanding of CMC development activities, cGMP requirements, and quality management systems, with the ability to identify risks, develop mitigation strategies, and drive program execution. Excellent communication, meeting facilitation, and presentation skills, with the ability to influence across teams and drive alignment in a fast-paced, evolving environment. Demonstrated ability to manage multiple programs simultaneously, navigate ambiguity, solve complex problems, and support informed decision-making. Experience working with external partners, CMOs, suppliers, strategic alliances, and remote or global teams is preferred. We could treat education+experience as Requirements, and the rest as Skills. Or we could put all under Qualifications. Since we have both headings allowed, we can split. Let's do:Requirements
: education and experience (bullet list).Skills
: the abilities (communication, leadership, etc.) (bullet list). Now Benefits: list of benefits: health and welfare benefit plans, non-accrual paid time off, company shut down for holidays, commuter benefits, 401K match and lunch each day in the office. Also compensation, bonus and equity (but that's compensation). We'll include benefits list. Pay: salary range $162,500 to $227,500 per year. Also note actual pay determined based on experience etc. We can include that as prose. Schedule: based in San Francisco, California office with expectation to be onsite three days per week. We also have location: San Francisco. Could be part of Schedule. Now we must remove boilerplate: The paragraphs about visa sponsorship, EEO, etc. Must be removed. Also remove "Applicants must currently be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time." etc. Also remove "All employment decisions..." etc. Also remove "Vir Biotechnology Human Resources leads recruitment..." etc. Also remove "Unsolicited resumes..." etc. Also remove "For hires based in the United States, Vir Biotechnology, participates in E-Verify." etc. Also remove "Candidate Privacy Notice". Also remove the initial company description? Actually that is substantive about the company; we can keep as part of About the role maybe. But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine company description and opportunity into About the role. Now produce HTML fragment:About the role
Vir Biotechnology, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on powering the immune system to transform lives by discovering and developing medicines for serious infectious diseases and cancer. Its clinical-stage portfolio includes programs for chronic hepatitis delta and multiple PRO-XTEN® dual-masked T-cell engagers across validated targets in solid tumor indications. Vir Biotechnology also has a preclinical portfolio of programs across a range of infectious diseases and oncologic malignancies. Vir Biotechnology has exclusive rights to the universal PRO-XTEN® masking platform for oncology and infectious disease. PRO-XTEN® is a trademark of Amunix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Sanofi company. We believe the success of our colleagues drives the success of our mission. We are committed to creating a company where everyone feels supported and encouraged to give their best. THE OPPORTUNITY Vir Biotechnology is seeking an experienced project manager to lead, coordinate, and drive cross-functional CMC activities supporting early-stage development programs. This individual will partner closely with technical and functional teams across Process Development, Analytical Development, Quality, Regulatory, and Supply Chain to ensure successful execution of program goals. In addition to supporting development programs, this role will help drive continuous improvement initiatives across CMC business processes, portfolio management, operational excellence, and budgeting activities. The position reports to the Vice President of CMC Strategy and Operations. This role is based in our San Francisco, California office with the expectation to be onsite three days per week.
But note we already have Schedule section for onsite three days per week; we might duplicate location. Better to keep location in About the role and schedule separate. However the About the role paragraph includes location and schedule; we could keep it there and then Schedule section just reiterates? Might be duplication. To avoid duplication, we could move location and schedule to Schedule section, and keep About the role to company description and opportunity (excluding location/schedule). Let's parse: About the role: company description + opportunity (the seeking experienced project manager...). Then Schedule: based in San Francisco office with expectation to be onsite three days per week. Thus we need to split the paragraph. Let's craft: About the role:Vir Biotechnology, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on powering the immune system to transform lives by discovering and developing medicines for serious infectious diseases and cancer.
