Associate Director, WW Medical Skills
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content.
We need to parse the posting: It includes description includes purpose, etc. There's no explicit "About the role" heading but we can create one with description about role? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we can create sections based on content.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Let's identify content:
- Intro paragraph about BMS purpose, culture, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But we can put under "About the role" a summary of role purpose? The instruction says we can use About the role heading. We'll include description of role purpose and context.
- "What We Are Looking For" includes description of role: Associate Director, WW Medical Skills. We'll include that under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Actually responsibilities are listed later under "Primary Responsibilities". So we can separate.
Thus:
Section: About the role (maybe include the introductory paragraphs about BMS and the role description). We'll include the purpose-driven culture paragraph and the "What We Are Looking For" paragraph describing the role.
Section: Responsibilities: include the bullet list under "Primary Responsibilities" (multiple sub-sections: Medical Skills Strategy & Leadership, Skills Frameworks & Curriculum Pathways, Learning Execution & Delivery, Learning Partner Lead, WWCL and LEAP Model). We'll need to convert each bullet into - . The content includes paragraphs; we can keep them as
inside li? Probably each bullet is a paragraph. We'll wrap each bullet's text in
...
Pay
Princeton - NJ - US: $172,550 - $209,090 ...
plus maybe note about discretionary incentive cash and stock. We'll keep that.
Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph. We'll include Benefits heading.
Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule.
Skills: Not explicitly separate; qualifications include skills. Could combine under Qualifications. We'll not create separate Skills unless there is explicit skills list. There's mention of "Skills development, field medical, Medical Affairs, or home office Medical training experience highly preferred" etc. That's within qualifications. So we can keep Qualifications.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "We hire for skills and capabilities..." maybe keep as part of Qualifications? It's a statement encouraging apply; could be considered boilerplate but it's not EEO etc. Might keep as part of Qualifications? It's a generic statement. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed to remove. Safer to keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That statement is not exactly those; it's encouraging to apply. Might be considered application instruction? It's not instructions to apply, just encouragement. I'd keep it.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details from the posting, but we can format.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have heading "Associate Director, WW Medical Skills". We'll embed that in About the role.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay and Benefits are present, so include.
Now produce HTML fragment.

Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases.

The Worldwide Commercialization Learning (WWCL) Centre of Excellence is seeking an experienced learning leader to serve as Associate Director, WW Medical Skills. This role is the single point of accountability within the WWCL CoE for the functional and behavioral skills learning strategy across the full Medical Organization, field and home office. This includes the functional skills, coaching capability, and ways of working that sit alongside, and are built on top of, deep therapy area and disease knowledge. Where the Director, Medical Science, Disease & Product (MSDP) owns scientific and disease knowledge content for Medical learners, this role owns how Medical colleagues are equipped to apply that knowledge: field colleagues engaging credibly with Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and coaching teams to essential BMS competencies, and home office colleagues (e.g., Medical Affairs, Medical Lead, Medical Science Liaison leadership) building the functional and cross-functional skills needed to operate effectively within the New Commercialization Model and beyond. Within the WWCL operating model the role acts as Learning Partner Lead for the Medical skills portfolio, spanning field and home office, with no direct line management responsibility but access to an allocated pool of Senior Managers within the CoE.
