Director, IT Solution Owner, QARA
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. Preserve all substantive info. 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. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". So we need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- Working Location: Pennsylvania, Center Valley; Massachusetts, Westborough
- Workplace Flexibility: Hybrid
- About the role: The description after "Job Description" maybe. The paragraph: "The Director, IT Solution Owner – QA/RA is accountable for the global strategy, governance, and end-to-end ownership of digital solutions supporting Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, including eQMS, Regulatory Information Management (RIM), post-market surveillance, and compliance capabilities. This role ensures QA/RA solutions support regulatory compliance, audit readiness, product quality, and patient safety while integrating with PLM, Manufacturing, and ERP to enable closed-loop quality and the digital thread. The Director partners with Quality, Regulatory, R&D, Manufacturing, and IT leaders to establish multi-year roadmaps, harmonize global processes, and respond to evolving regulatory requirements. The role is ultimately accountable for solution integrity, validation, compliance, lifecycle performance, and business value across the QA/RA solution domain. All activities are performed in accordance with Olympus Core Values: agility, empathy, long-term view, unity, and integrity."
That's about the role.
- Job Duties: list of duties broken into subheadings: Solution Ownership & Strategy, Leadership & Delivery, Governance, Risk & Compliance, Stakeholder & Service Management, Continuous Improvement & AI. Each has bullet points (some are sentences). We need to output a list of duties/requirements/benefits using
- . Should we separate by subheadings? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe as About the role
), Responsibilities (maybe as Responsibilities
), Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: we have description.
- Responsibilities: we have job duties (list). Could be under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: we have Job Qualifications (Required and Preferred). Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use. Probably combine Required and Preferred under Qualifications.
- Benefits: we have "Why join Olympus?" with list of benefits.
- Pay: we have anticipated base pay range.
- Schedule: we have Workplace Flexibility: Hybrid (maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule but could be considered schedule? The instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It mentions Workplace Flexibility: Hybrid. That's about schedule flexibility. Could be considered Schedule. We'll include a Schedule section with that.
- Skills: maybe not explicit separate list; but we could infer from qualifications. But better not to create a Skills section unless explicit. The posting does not have a separate Skills heading. So we skip.
- Also we have Working Location info. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in the list of allowed headings. Could embed in About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove boilerplate: the long EEO statement, "You Belong at Olympus", "Applicants Requesting Accommodations", etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "For more than 100 years, Olympus has focused..." appears twice; we need to keep only one instance? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we need to keep the content but not duplicate. There's a duplicated paragraph about Olympus history etc. We'll keep one.
Also remove navigation/cookie/legal etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's construct:

Schedule
Workplace flexibility: Hybrid.
Also include location? Could embed in About the role paragraph: "Working Location: Pennsylvania, Center Valley; Massachusetts, Westborough". We could add a short p after About the role or maybe include in About the role paragraph. Let's add a sentence: "The role is based in Pennsylvania (Center Valley) and Massachusetts (Westborough) with hybrid workplace flexibility."
But we already have Schedule section for hybrid. Location maybe separate? Not required heading. Could add to About the role paragraph.
Let's craft About the role paragraph to include location and flexibility.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. The About the role paragraph originally didn't include location; we can add it.
Let's write:

Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Learn more about Life at Olympus: https://...". Remove that.
Also remove "For more than 100 years, Olympus has focused on making people’s lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling." That's duplicated; we might keep one instance? Actually we removed that entirely from About the role? The original About the role paragraph didn't include that; it's in the intro before Job Description. We removed it. That's fine; we are not losing substantive info about the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does that include the company overview? It might be considered substantive but not directly about the role.
