We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Role Summary" and "Primary Responsibilities" etc. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, cookie/navigation, duplicated lines. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe from Role Summary). Responsibilities (Primary Responsibilities). Requirements (Basic Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills maybe not separate; could combine with Requirements? But we can include Skills if present. Benefits: there is benefits description. Pay: salary range and bonus etc. Schedule: travel expectations 50% of the time, ability to operate a Pfizer company car maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule but could be under Schedule? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include those headings if content exists. We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range, so Pay section is valid. Schedule: travel expectations 50% of the time, ability to operate a Pfizer company car. That's schedule/travel info. So we can include Schedule. Benefits: description of benefits. Skills: maybe not explicit separate list; but we could infer from qualifications? However we should not invent. Better to omit Skills if no explicit list. We need to preserve all substantive info: So include details from Role Summary, Primary Responsibilities (State Policy Responsibilities and State Government Relations Responsibilities), Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Other Job Details (Last Date to Apply, Locations, Travel expectations, Ability to operate a Pfizer company car, Salary, Bonus, LTIP, Benefits, etc). Also note relocation not eligible, etc. Also note work visa sponsorship not available. Also note Sunshine Act etc. Those might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The Sunshine Act paragraph is legal/transparency; might be considered legal boilerplate. Should we remove? It's about reporting payments; could be considered legal. Probably remove. Also EEO paragraph remove. Also accessibility statement remove. Also AI-use guidelines remove. Also "Public Affairs & Communication" at end maybe part of boilerplate? Remove. We need to keep substantive info: Role Summary, Primary Responsibilities, Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Other Job Details (Last Date to Apply, Locations, Travel expectations, Ability to operate a Pfizer company car, Salary, Bonus, LTIP, Benefits, Relocation not eligible, work visa sponsorship not available). Also maybe note "This role is posted in multiple locations..." that's about pay transparency; could be considered part of Pay section? Might keep as note. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Director, State Policy & Government Relations. We'll output HTML fragment with sections:

Also include Other Job Details like Last Date to Apply, Locations, Relocation not eligible, work visa sponsorship not available. Where to put? Could be under About the role as a paragraph, or maybe a separate section like "Details". But we only allowed headings from list; we could embed in About the role or Responsibilities? Better to add a paragraph under About the role after summary. We must not invent sections like "Details". So we can incorporate those details into About the role paragraph. Let's craft. First, extract Role Summary text: "Role Summary The Director, State Policy & Government Relations, reports to the State Policy Team lead and is responsible for leading a defined portfolio of state policy priorities and government relations responsibilities in Iowa, Minnesota, and any other states identified by SPGR leadership. The state policy responsibilities include developing and supporting implementation of coordinated national policy positions and strategies that align with business and enterprise-wide objectives; act as a single point of accountability and enterprise-wide subject matter expert (SME) for a portfolio of state policy issues; responsible for developing policy platforms on priority policy issues, including collateral for external facing colleagues such as policy principles, legislative language, backgrounders, talking points, research summaries, comments letters, and testimony; responsible for analyzing, forecasting, and communicating the short- and long-term implications of changes in the state legislative and regulatory landscape to internal stakeholders, including business units, enabling functions, and senior leaders; develop and implement strategies to generate new policy evidence through contracted resources, including consulting firms and academics, to support Pfizer’s priority policy issues; participate in key trade association work groups; and represent Pfizer externally with multi-stakeholder policy coalitions, in forums related to key policy issues, and at legislative hearings.

We'll keep that as paragraph. Now Primary Responsibilities: It has two sub-sections with percentages. We can list bullet points: - Serve as the enterprise-wide subject matter expert and point of accountability for a designated portfolio of state policy issues. - Develop and support implementation of coordinated state policy positions and strategies that align with business and enterprise objectives. - Analyze, forecast, and communicate the short- and long-term implications of legislative and regulatory developments impacting Pfizer, patients, providers, and the healthcare policy environment. - Develop policy principles, legislative language, backgrounders, research summaries, comment letters, testimony drafts, and talking points to support internal decision-making and field government relations needs. - Coordinate across Business Units, Legal, Public Affairs, Federal Policy, Market Access, and other functions to ensure enterprise alignment on assigned policy priorities. - Identify opportunities to generate policy evidence and support development of research and analysis that informs enterprise policy objectives. - Lead or support participation in policy-focused trade association workgroups and policy development initiatives related to assigned issue areas. - Responsible for the overall monitoring of state government legislation and regulations that impact Pfizer policy priorities in assigned geography, which includes Iowa and Minnesota and possible other states as determined by USPGR leadership. - Identify and analyze emerging political and policy issues in assigned geography. - Develop, implement, and execute lobbying strategies tailored to support Pfizer’s policy priorities. - Collaborate with all relevant Pfizer colleagues, contract lobbyists, and third-party stakeholders to implement a sustained course of action to achieve legislation and regulatory objectives. - Supervise all outreach and communication directed at state and local policymakers. - Supervise Pfizer grassroots and political action programs designed to influence the public policy environment in assigned geography. - Maximize impact of Pfizer’s grassroots capabilities and PAC activities in assigned geography. - Maximize impact of advocacy and public affairs efforts in assigned states by working with Advocacy and Public Affairs colleagues and other internal and external groups. - Plan and manage a budget while operating within established guidelines.
