Director, Scientific Communications and Strategic Advancement - Immunology and Immunotherapy
for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings
5. Preserve ALL substantive information
6. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it
8. Never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
9. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
The posting has:
- Description (overview of the role)
- Responsibilities (with sub-sections: Strategic Communications and Mount Sinai Visibility, Thought Leadership and Opportunity Building, Grants, Initiatives, and Strategic Proposals, Presentation and Advancement Materials, Philanthropy, External Engagement, and Communications Infrastructure)
- Qualifications And Attributes (with Measures of Success)
- Qualifications (education and experience requirements)
- Preferred Skills
- Employer Description (about Mount Sinai Health System)
- Compensation (salary range)
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. The rules say to use specific heading names: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Looking at the content:
- "Description" maps to "About the role"
- "Responsibilities" maps to "Responsibilities"
- "Qualifications And Attributes" and "Qualifications" and "Preferred Skills" map to "Qualifications" and/or "Requirements"
- "Compensation" maps to "Pay"
- "Employer Description" is boilerplate about the organization - should I include it? The rules say to remove boilerplate, but this is substantive info about the employer. However, it's quite long and generic. The rules say "Preserve ALL substantive information" but also "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". The employer description is marketing boilerplate. I think I should include a brief mention but not the full text. Actually, the rules say "do NOT invent or summarize away detail" but also "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The employer description is not really about the role itself. I'll include a short paragraph about the employer in an "About the role" section or separate section.
Wait, the rules say "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So I should use these exact headings where appropriate.
Let me map:
- About the role: The description paragraph
- Responsibilities: The responsibilities section with its sub-items
- Requirements: The qualifications (education, experience)
- Qualifications: The attributes, measures of success
- Skills: Preferred skills
- Pay: Compensation section
- Benefits: Not mentioned specifically, so omit
- Schedule: Not mentioned, omit
The "Employer Description" is about Mount Sinai Health System. This could go in "About the role" as context.
The "Qualifications And Attributes" section includes both qualifications and measures of success. The "Qualifications" section later has specific degree and experience requirements. The "Preferred Skills" is separate.
I need to be careful not to duplicate. The posting has two "Qualifications" sections - one labeled "Qualifications And Attributes" and another labeled "Qualifications". And "Preferred Skills". I'll combine them logically.
Also note: The "Qualifications" section says "Bachelors Degree required, Masters degree preferred5-7 years minimum of experience in health care finance or administration; experience in strategic planning and execution, formulating policy, building and developing financial plans, managing resources and leading successful teams". This seems odd for a communications role - "health care finance or administration"? Might be a copy-paste error in the source. But I must preserve substantive information as-is.
The "Preferred Skills" says "Bachelor's Degree required, Master's degree or PhD preferred." This duplicates but with PhD.
I'll structure as:

Responsibilities
- Strategic Communications and Mount Sinai Visibility: ...
- Thought Leadership and Opportunity Building: ...
- Grants, Initiatives, and Strategic Proposals: ...
- Presentation and Advancement Materials: ...
- Philanthropy, External Engagement, and Communications Infrastructure: ...
But the responsibilities have detailed bullet points under each. I should include those details. The rules say "Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So I can have nested lists or just include the details in the li.
Better to have each responsibility area as an li with sub-points as nested ul or just prose. Since the rules say "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." I can use
for the detailed descriptions under each responsibility heading.
Actually, the responsibilities are described in prose paragraphs. I'll keep them as paragraphs under each responsibility heading, but the heading says to use
- for lists. The responsibilities are not a simple list; they are categorized with descriptions. I'll use
for sub-headings? But the rules only mention for section headings. It doesn't forbid . But to be safe, I'll use or just include the sub-heading in the li.
Let me re-read: "Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." So for responsibilities, I can have a
with each major responsibility as an - , and within each
- , use
for the prose description.
Similarly for qualifications.
Now, the "Measures of Success" is part of "Qualifications And Attributes". I'll include that in Qualifications section.
The "Compensation" section has salary range: $140,000 - $230,000 annually. That goes in Pay section.
No benefits or schedule mentioned, so omit those sections.
Now, I need to remove EEO boilerplate. The posting has "Equal Opportunity Employer" paragraph - that's boilerplate, remove.
Also "Strength through Unity and Inclusion" is part of employer description, but it's DEI boilerplate. The rules say remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So I should remove that paragraph.
The employer description has rankings and stats - that's substantive marketing info. I'll include a condensed version.
Let me draft the HTML.
First, About the role: combine the initial description and a brief employer note.
The initial description: "The Icahn Genomics Institute and the Mount Sinai Colton Center for Autoimmunity seek a Scientific Director of Communications and Strategic Advancement to lead communications, visibility, and strategic advancement across major Mount Sinai initiatives spanning genomics, autoimmunity, cancer, and immunotherapy. Together, these programs bring together genomics, immunology, cancer biology, data science, human disease biology, translational research, clinical partnerships, and therapeutic innovation to advance precision approaches to immune-mediated, malignant, and complex human disease. This is a high-impact, institution-facing role for an energetic scientific communicator who can help define a clear public voice, media presence, donor narrative, and strategic platform for these interconnected areas. The Director will work closely with institute and center leadership, Mount Sinai faculty, institutional communications, development teams, clinical partners, and external stakeholders to communicate scientific and clinical impact across Mount Sinai and beyond. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker, exceptional writer, and proactive builder who can translate complex biomedical research into compelling narratives for academic, philanthropic, media, policy, industry, patient, and public audiences."
That's all prose, good for
.
Then employer: "Mount Sinai Health System is one of the largest academic medical systems in the New York metro area, with more than 48,000 employees working across eight hospitals, more than 400 outpatient practices, more than 300 labs, a school of nursing, and a leading school of medicine and graduate education." I'll include that.
Now Responsibilities: five areas. I'll make a
with five - s, each containing the sub-heading and description.
For example:
- Strategic Communications and Mount Sinai Visibility: Develop and execute a cohesive communications strategy that advances the reputation and identity of the Icahn Genomics Institute, the Mount Sinai Colton Center for Autoimmunity, and aligned efforts in cancer and immunotherapy. Shape core messaging for websites, reports, proposals, presentations, press materials, communications and social media. Partner with Mount Sinai central Marketing and Communications teams to appropriately collaborate on Marketing and Communication tactics (e.g. identify media opportunities, draft press materials, social media). Develop faculty profiles, and position leadership as trusted voices in genomics, immunology, autoimmunity, cancer, immunotherapy, precision medicine, translational research, and therapeutic innovation.
Similarly for others.
Qualifications And Attributes: This includes the ideal candidate description and measures of success. I'll put in Qualifications section.
The "Qualifications" section (the second one) has specific degree and experience requirements. That goes in Requirements.
Preferred Skills goes in Skills.
But the rules list "Requirements" and "Qualifications" as separate possible headings. I'll use "Requirements" for the hard requirements (degree, years experience) and "Qualifications" for the attributes and measures of success.
The "Preferred Skills" is separate, so I'll use "Skills" heading.
Now, the "Qualifications And Attributes" section says: "The ideal candidate will have strong experience in scientific, medical, or academic communications; excellent writing and editing skills; and the ability to communicate complex biomedical ideas clearly to multiple audiences. Experience with large grants, strategic proposals, philanthropic materials, media strategy, social media, and presentation development is strongly preferred. Familiarity with genomics, immunology, oncology, autoimmunity, immunotherapy, or precision medicine is highly desirable. The successful candidate should be entrepreneurial, self-directed, highly organized, and comfortable building new programs within a fast-moving academic medical center. They should bring energy, urgency, follow-through, strong editorial judgment, and the ability to work closely with senior faculty, institutional leaders, communications teams, development officers, clinicians, scientists, and external partners."
Then "Measures of Success": "Success will be measured by increased visibility for the Icahn Genomics Institute, the Mount Sinai Colton Center for Autoimmunity, and Mount Sinai’s broader genomics, immunology, cancer, immunotherapy, and precision medicine enterprise; clear and recognizable public narratives; high-quality grants, proposals, presentations, and strategic materials; expanded media and thought leadership presence; stronger donor and partner engagement; and a durable infrastructure for communicating scientific and clinical impact."
I'll put all that under Qualifications.
The "Qualifications" section (second) says: "Bachelors Degree required, Masters degree preferred5-7 years minimum of experience in health care finance or administration; experience in strategic planning and execution, formulating policy, building and developing financial plans, managing resources and leading successful teams"
That seems mismatched but I'll include as is.
"Preferred Skills": "Bachelor’s Degree required, Master’s degree or PhD preferred."
I'll include that in Skills.
Now, Pay: "The Mount Sinai Health System (MSHS) provides salary ranges that comply with the New York City Law on Salary Transparency in Job Advertisements. The salary range for the role is $140000 - $230000 Annually
