Associate Director, HEOR, Canada
for sections like 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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- The Role (intro paragraph)
- Here’s What You’ll Do (list of duties)
- Here’s What You’ll Need (Minimum Qualifications) (list)
- Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications) (list)
- Pay & Benefits (some prose about benefits)
- About Moderna (company description)
- Possibly other sections like "The Role" could be considered "About the role". The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map:
- About the role: The Role paragraph (intro)
- Responsibilities: Here’s What You’ll Do (list)
- Requirements: Here’s What You’ll Need (Minimum Qualifications) (list)
- Qualifications: Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications) (list) maybe treat as Qualifications or Skills? Could be "Qualifications" for minimum, "Preferred Qualifications" maybe also Qualifications? But we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. Or we could combine. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum), Preferred Qualifications (maybe as Qualifications), Benefits (Pay & Benefits), About Moderna (maybe as About the company). However they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have:
About the role
(intro)
Responsibilities
(list)
Requirements
(minimum qualifications)
Qualifications
(preferred qualifications)
Benefits
(Pay & Benefits)
About Moderna
(company description)
We should not include Pay or Schedule separate if not specified. Benefits section can include the prose about benefits.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove "This posting is for an existing vacancy. Moderna uses artificial intelligence to screen, assess, or select applicants for this role." That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered metadata; but it's not a heading; we can keep as a short paragraph? It's not substantive? Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short
or drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. This line is minor metadata; we could drop it. Also "Please note that this information is provided for transparency and compliance purposes..." is part of Pay & Benefits; we might keep but it's somewhat boilerplate; but it's part of benefits description. Might keep.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the responsibilities list, qualifications lists, benefits description, about Moderna.
We must output ONLY the HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
**The Role** paragraph:
"The Role In this role, you will support the local generation and adaptation of data, evidence and key HEOR deliverables for Moderna products supporting pricing and reimbursement, vaccine recommendations, tender and contracting and institutional customer engagement in Canada. This role leads local HEOR evidence generation and adaptation activities in Canada and provides strategic oversight of external research partners supporting economic modelling, evidence synthesis, value assessment, vaccine recommendation, and pricing activities.

We need to output as

**Here’s What You’ll Do** list items (each sentence seems a bullet). Let's extract each bullet:

**Pay & Benefits** section:
We need to extract substantive content. The paragraph:
"Pay & Benefits At Moderna, we believe that when you feel your best, you can do your best work. That’s why our global benefits and well-being resources are designed to support you—at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Competitive healthcare, plus voluntary benefit programs to support your unique needs A holistic approach to well-being with access to fitness, mindfulness, and mental health support Family building benefits, including fertility, adoption, and surrogacy support Generous paid time off, including vacation, bank holidays, volunteer days, sabbatical, global recharge days, and a discretionary year-end shutdown Savingsandinvestments to help you plan for the future Location-specific perks and extras The benefits offered may vary depending on the nature of your employment with Moderna and the country where you work. We regularly review pay ranges and individual compensation to ensure competitiveness with the external market and to maintain internal equity in alignment with our company’s compensation and pay-transparency principles. The successful candidate may be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus, other incentive compensation, or an equity award, subject to applicable plan eligibility criteria and individual performance. Please note that this information is provided for transparency and compliance purposes. It does not constitute a contractual commitment or guarantee of a specific rate of pay."
We need to keep all that as prose under Benefits heading. Possibly we could break into
paragraphs but it's okay as one
. However there are some run-on sentences missing punctuation; we should keep as is.
**About Moderna** section:
"About Moderna Since our founding in 2010, we have aspired to build the leading mRNA technology platform, the infrastructure to reimagine how medicines are created and delivered, and a world-class team. We believe in giving our people a platform to change medicine and an opportunity to change the world.

Moderna is a place where everyone can grow. If you meet the Basic Qualifications for the role and you would be excited to contribute to our mission every day, please apply!"
We need to keep that as prose under About Moderna heading. Remove the EEO etc after that. The rest after that is EEO boilerplate; we should drop.
We also need to remove duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. The "Please apply!" is part of About Moderna; we can keep.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
and content.
We should not include any extra headings like "Pay" separate; we have Benefits.
We should not include Schedule.
We should not include Skills separate; we could incorporate skills into Qualifications but we already have Qualifications (preferred). Could also have Skills but we don't have explicit skills list; we could skip.
Thus final HTML:
