We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule if present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove repeated paragraphs (the posting appears duplicated). Need to extract core content. Let's parse the posting: - Intro: "Ro 3 days ago Full-time On-site Romeoville, IL $187,400 - $220,500 USD yearly Non-clinical Ro is a direct-to-patient healthcare company..." This includes location, schedule (Full-time On-site), salary range. - Then description about Ro. - Then role description: "As the Director of Automation, you will lead the strategy, design, and implementation of automation solutions across Ro's pharmacy fulfillment, compounding, warehouse, and distribution operations. Reporting to the Vice President of Pharmacy Operations, you will partner closely with Operations, Pharmacy, Supply Chain, Technology, Facilities, Finance, Quality, and external equipment manufacturers to build scalable, efficient, and compliant pharmacy operations. This role is ideal for a strategic leader who thrives on solving complex operational challenges, driving continuous improvement, and delivering innovative automation solutions that support Ro's continued growth. This position is based in Romeoville, IL and requires approximately 10–15% travel to support other pharmacy locations." - Then "What You’ll Do:" list of duties. - Then "What You’ll Bring To The Team:" list of required qualifications. - Then "Preferred Qualifications:" list. - Then "We’ve Got You Covered:" benefits list. - Then salary note: "The target base salary for this position ranges from $187,400-$220,500, in addition to a competitive equity and benefits package (as applicable). When determining compensation, we analyze and carefully consider several factors, including location, job-related knowledge, skills and experience. These considerations may cause your compensation to vary." - Then "Ro recognizes the power of in-person collaboration, while supporting the flexibility to work anywhere in the United States. For our Ro’ers in the tri-state (NY) area, you will join us at HQ on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For those outside of the tri-state area, you will be able to join in-person collaborations throughout the year (i.e., during team on-sites)." This is schedule info. - Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove. We need sections: About the role (maybe intro about company and role?), Responsibilities (What You’ll Do), Requirements (What You’ll Bring To The Team), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Benefits (We’ve Got You Covered), Pay (salary range), Schedule (in-person collaboration details). Must only include sections if real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for "Director of Automation". Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. About the role: Could include company description and role overview (the paragraph after intro). Could also include location and travel? But location and schedule maybe go to Schedule section. However About the role could contain summary of role and company. Responsibilities: the bullet list under "What You’ll Do". Requirements: the bullet list under "What You’ll Bring To The Team" (required qualifications). Qualifications: the bullet list under "Preferred Qualifications". Benefits: the list under "We’ve Got You Covered". Pay: the salary range info (including note about equity and benefits). Should we include the sentence about compensation varying? It's substantive. Yes. Schedule: the paragraph about in-person collaboration (tri-state NY area Tues/Thurs, others travel for team on-sites). Also mention Full-time On-site? The intro says Full-time On-site Romeoville, IL. That's schedule info. Could include that. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, privacy policy, apply now, duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points exactly as given (maybe rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not omit details, but we can reformat into HTML lists. We should keep the wording as is, but we can split into list items. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated content (the posting appears twice). We'll only include once. Now craft HTML. We'll start with maybe not required; just headings and content. We'll use

for each section heading. Inside each section, we will put

for prose,

  • for lists. We must not include or . Let's extract the exact text. Company description paragraph: "Ro is a direct-to-patient healthcare company with a mission of helping patients achieve their health goals by delivering the easiest, most effective care possible. Ro is the only company to offer nationwide telehealth, labs, and pharmacy services. This is enabled by Ro's vertically integrated platform that helps patients achieve their goals through a convenient, end-to-end healthcare experience spanning from diagnosis, to delivery of medication, to ongoing care. Since 2017, Ro has helped millions of patients in nearly every single county in the United States, including 99% of primary care deserts. Ro is consistently recognized as a top workplace in Health Care, in New York, and for Women and Parents—earning more than 20 honors from Fortune, Great Place to Work, and PEOPLE since 2021. In 2025 alone, we ranked top 5 among medium workplaces in Health Care and New York, and top 50 nationwide." Then role overview: "As the Director of Automation, you will lead the strategy, design, and implementation of automation solutions across Ro's pharmacy fulfillment, compounding, warehouse, and distribution operations. Reporting to the Vice President of Pharmacy Operations, you will partner closely with Operations, Pharmacy, Supply Chain, Technology, Facilities, Finance, Quality, and external equipment manufacturers to build scalable, efficient, and compliant pharmacy operations. This role is ideal for a strategic leader who thrives on solving complex operational challenges, driving continuous improvement, and delivering innovative automation solutions that support Ro's continued growth. This position is based in Romeoville, IL and requires approximately 10–15% travel to support other pharmacy locations." We could combine company description and role overview under About the role. Now Responsibilities list: The bullet points after "What You’ll Do:" each starts with a verb. Need to capture each line. List: - Lead the development and execution of Ro's automation strategy across pharmacy fulfillment, compounding, warehouse, packaging, and shipping operations - Identify, evaluate, and implement automation technologies that improve safety, quality, throughput, and operational scalability - Partner with Pharmacy Operations, Supply Chain, Technology, Finance, Facilities, and Quality teams to design future-state workflows and optimize operational performance - Lead capital automation projects from concept through implementation, including business case development, equipment selection, vendor management, installation, commissioning, and operational readiness - Collaborate with architects, engineers, facility managers, and contractors to support new pharmacy builds, expansions, and facility renovations - Establish operational performance metrics and dashboards to monitor productivity, equipment utilization, fulfillment accuracy, inventory performance, and return on investment - Drive Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement initiatives that reduce waste, improve efficiency, and standardize best practices across multiple pharmacy sites - Ensure automation solutions meet FDA, USP, OSHA, state Board of Pharmacy, and internal quality requirements while supporting a culture of safety, compliance, and operational excellence - Develop, document, and maintain SOPs, standardized workflows, and operational best practices for automation systems, ensuring consistent, safe, compliant, and efficient utilization across all pharmacy sites Now Requirements list (What You’ll Bring To The Team): - 8+ years of experience leading automation, industrial engineering, manufacturing, fulfillment, warehouse, or pharmacy operations initiatives - Demonstrated success managing large-scale automation or capital projects from concept through implementation - Experience with automated material handling systems, robotics, warehouse automation, packaging equipment, or pharmaceutical manufacturing technologies - Strong knowledge of operational excellence methodologies, including Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, value stream mapping, and process optimization - Experience developing capital budgets, business cases, and ROI analyses for operational investments - Excellent cross-functional leadership, stakeholder management, and executive communication skills - Proven ability to influence teams and lead organizational change in fast-paced, high-growth environments - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, or a related technical field Now Preferred Qualifications: - Experience supporting pharmacy fulfillment, sterile or non-sterile compounding, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or healthcare distribution operations - Experience with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), ERP platforms, manufacturing execution systems (MES), or industrial automation software - Lean Six Sigma Black Belt or Green Belt certification - PMP certification - Master's degree in Engineering, Operations Management, or Business Administration Now Benefits list (We’ve Got You Covered): - Full medical, dental, and vision insurance + OneMedical membership - Healthcare and Dependent Care FSA - 401(k) with company match - Flexible PTO - Wellbeing stipend - Paid parental leave + Fertility benefits - Pet insurance - Student loan refinancing - Virtual resources for mindfulness, counseling, and fitness Now Pay: The target base salary for this position ranges from $187,400-$220,500, in addition to a competitive equity and benefits package (as applicable). When determining compensation, we analyze and carefully consider several factors, including location, job-related knowledge, skills and experience. These considerations may cause your compensation to vary. We could also include the earlier salary range from intro: "$187,400 - $220,500 USD yearly". But we should not duplicate. We'll include the Pay section with that info. Now Schedule: The intro says "Full-time On-site Romeoville, IL". Also later: "Ro recognizes the power of in-person collaboration, while supporting the flexibility to work anywhere in the United States. For our Ro’ers in the tri-state (NY) area, you will join us at HQ on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For those outside of the tri-state area, you will be able to join in-person collaborations throughout the year (i.e., during team on-sites)." We should include both. Thus Schedule section could have a paragraph: "Full-time On-site position based in Romeoville, IL." Then another paragraph about in-person collaboration details. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Now produce HTML. We'll wrap each section in maybe but not required. Just headings and content. Let's craft:
