Associate Director, Marketing -Thought Leader Marketing Liaison

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: 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 remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The first paragraph(s) after "About the Role". Content: "Our US Immunology team is committed to transforming the lives of patients living with Inflammatory Bowl Disease (IBD). We aspire to achieve this through relentless commitment to patients, innovation, ensuring access to life-changing therapies, and collaborating with healthcare systems, governments, and payers to make treatments available to those who need them most. Our focus is on the patients, scientific rigor and flawless execution—bringing breakthrough therapies to patients who need them. Thought Leader Marketing Liaison (TLML) (Associate Director) is a key member of the Immunology brand marketing organization reporting directly to the Director, Thought Leader Liaison Team Leader. This position is responsible for ensuring that advocacy development, platform and product positioning, speaker program preparation and management, and congress engagement are strategically aligned with brand objectives and executed in a compliant manner. This will help create a strong and sustained our company presence across local, regional, and national IBD communities. Additionally, this role is critical to ensure that key scientific leader insights directly inform brand and go-to-market strategies. Openings: 5 positions available across 5 Regions (Northeast, Southeast, Great Lakes/Ohio Valley, Central, West) Role Details & Regional Focus Available Territories: Northeast | Southeast | Great Lakes/Ohio Valley | Central | West Position Type: Remote/Field Based (Requires 60%-70% regional and national travel) Candidates must reside within major metro areas in or near their assigned region near a major airport." We need to preserve all substantive info. Should we include the openings and territories? Yes. We should not include "Openings: 5 positions available across 5 Regions (Northeast, Southeast, Great Lakes/Ohio Valley, Central, West) Role Details & Regional Focus Available Territories: ..." as a heading; just include as paragraph. But we need to avoid duplication. Also note "Role Details & Regional Focus" maybe not needed as heading. We'll produce a

with that content. Next section: Primary Responsibilities. We have bullet list under "Primary Responsibilities". Let's extract each bullet: - Advocacy Development: Assist in identification and mapping of national and regional scientific leaders (SLs), clinical leaders, and emerging experts across the US IBD landscape. Develop and assess advocacy of key opinion leaders around the scientific messages, product positioning, and medical education content. - SL/KOL Engagement Execution Execute engagements with SLs, including congress participation, site visits, and HQ-approved activities (e.g., advisory boards, customer strategy sessions). Gather actionable insights from SLs to inform marketing strategies and brand planning. Provide real-time insights from KOL’s on approved key business questions / topics. Execute engagement plans with key thought leaders throughout the US and support development of approved educational content based on KOL and faculty input. - Congress Participation and Engagement: Collaborate with marketing team to determine participation and level of support in key IBD conferences. Secure key engagement meetings and congress execution between HQ employees and KOLs - Speaker Bureau Development & Readiness: Help identify and manage a US IBD Speaker Bureau, including faculty identification, onboarding, and training as appropriate to approved content. Ensure speaker advocacy aligns to our scientific platform key messages and supports speaker readiness for educational speaker engagements including congress product theatres. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with field facing roles according to our company's Policy to ensure alignment on SL needs and account dynamics - Compliance & Governance: Ensure strict adherence to compliance regulations, internal policies, and industry standards in all engagement activities We need to format as

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a
  with each bullet as
  • . Could also group sub-bullets but not required; we can flatten. We'll produce a
    with each duty as
    • . Ensure we keep the content. Next: Qualifications. There's a "Qualifications" heading later: "Qualifications Required: Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree (MBA, MS, PharmD, or equivalent) preferred. Minimum 5-8 years in pharmaceutical sales, marketing, or field medical engagement or KOL management roles. At least 2 years of IBD experience strongly preferred with existing Key KOL networks in IBD. Demonstrated success in building and maintaining scientific relationships with KOLs, speakers, or professional societies in a highly regulated environment. Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills. Proven ability to synthesize insights into strategic recommendations. Ability to influence and collaborate across a matrixed environment without direct authority. Travel up to 60% (including weekends and evenings for congresses and advisory meetings). Valid driver’s license. Candidates must live in or near geographical area and should reside near a major US airport to fulfill travel requirements for this role." We'll put that in a
      or

      ? Since it's a list of qualifications, we can use

      • . Each sentence as
      • . Next: Required Skills: list of many skills separated by commas. We'll treat as list. We have "Required Skills Adaptability, Adaptability, Brand Management, Brand Marketing, Brand Strategy, Content Creation, Creativity, Cross-Functional Leadership, Customer Experience Strategy, Customer Insights, Customer Strategy, Digital Consumer Engagement, Digital Marketing, Direct Marketing, Go-to-Market Strategies, Marketing, Marketing Management, Market Research, Market Segmentation, Multidisciplinary Collaboration, Omnichannel Marketing, Pharmaceutical Sales, Product Launches, Product Management, Product Marketing {+ 2 more}". There's duplication of Adaptability. We'll keep as is but maybe remove duplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate is part of original; we should keep it? It says preserve ALL substantive information; duplicate is not substantive? It's just a repeat; but we could keep it as is; but better to keep as appears. We'll keep duplicate. We'll output as
        • each skill. Next: Preferred Skills: "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". That seems like application instructions, not preferred skills. Actually after "Required Skills" there is "Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". That seems misplaced; maybe the preferred skills list is missing; but we have no explicit preferred skills list. So we should not create a Preferred Skills section unless there is real specific content. There's none. So skip. Later there is "Requirements" heading (maybe duplicate of Qualifications). Actually after the skills list there is "Requirements As an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer..." That's EEO boilerplate; we must remove. Then later: "The salary range for this role is $142,400.00 - $224,100.00 This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. An employee’s position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, government requirements, and business or organizational needs. The successful candidate will be eligible for annual bonus and long-term incentive, if applicable. 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 Pay section: we have salary range. So we create

          Pay

          with

          containing that sentence(s). Also we might include bonus and long-term incentive info. Benefits section: we have benefits description. So

          Benefits

          with

          containing that. Schedule: we have travel requirements: "Position Type: Remote/Field Based (Requires 60%-70% regional and national travel)" and "Travel up to 60% (including weekends and evenings for congresses and advisory meetings)." Also "Candidates must reside within major metro areas in or near their assigned region near a major airport." Also "Valid driver’s license." Also "Relocation: No relocation VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 25% Flexible Work Arrangements Remote Shift Not Indicated". There's a lot of metadata near the end. We need to include schedule info if present. The posting includes travel requirements and remote/field based. So we can create Schedule section with that info. We must not include sections like "Pay" if not specific; we have salary range, so include. We must not include "Schedule" if not specific; we have travel and remote info, so include. We must not include "Benefits" if not specific; we have benefits description, so include. We must not include "Qualifications" if not specific; we have qualifications, so include. We must not include "Skills" if not specific; we have required skills list, so include. We must not include "Responsibilities" if not specific; we have responsibilities, so include. We must not include "About the role" if not specific; we have, so include. Now we need to strip out boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, application instructions, search firm, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". Also remove "Requirements As an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "You can apply for this role through ...". Also remove "The application deadline for this position is stated on this posting." etc. Also remove "San Francisco Residents Only..." etc. Also remove "Search Firm Representatives Please Read Carefully ...". Also remove "Employee Status Regular Relocation: No relocation VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 25% Flexible Work Arrangements Remote Shift Not Indicated Valid Driving License Yes Hazardous Material(s) N/A Job Posting End Date 10/9/2026 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:R409905". All that is boilerplate or metadata; we should drop. We need to keep substantive info: travel requirements, remote/field based, valid driver's license, reside near major airport, etc. Those are in Schedule. Now let's craft HTML. We'll start with

          About the role

          then

          with the paragraph. We need to ensure we don't include any heading that duplicates job title. Good. Now produce HTML. Let's write the About the role paragraph: "Our US Immunology team is committed to transforming the lives of patients living with Inflammatory Bowl Disease (IBD). We aspire to achieve this through relentless commitment to patients, innovation, ensuring access to life-changing therapies, and collaborating with healthcare systems, governments, and payers to make treatments available to those who need them most.
