We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Integrative Sciences" and "Position Summary". We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. So we can include a short

for location, travel, etc. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: About the role (maybe from Position Summary), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements/Qualifications (Qualifications), Benefits, Pay (Compensation Overview). Possibly Schedule? Not given. Travel is mentioned but not schedule; we could include Schedule if we have info? Not explicit schedule like full-time, etc. Could omit Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam warning, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Thus we need to extract relevant content. Let's parse: - Intro paragraph about BMS purpose-driven culture etc. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually it's generic company description. Could be part of About the role? But we need to preserve substantive info; maybe include as part of About the role? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have About the role section containing description of role and company context. We have "About Integrative Sciences" describing group. That could be part of About the role. We have "Position Summary" describing Executive Director role. We have "Key Responsibilities" with bullet-like paragraphs. We have "Qualifications" with Required and Preferred. We have "Compensation Overview" with pay range. We have "Benefits" paragraph. We have "How We Work" about work models; could be Schedule? Not exactly schedule but work model. Might be considered Schedule? Probably not; we can omit Schedule as not explicit. We have "Supporting People With Disabilities", "Candidate Rights", "Data Protection", etc. Those are boilerplate to remove. We have "We hire for skills and capabilities..." that's part of Qualifications maybe. We have "Compensation Overview" includes pay range and note about discretionary incentive cash and stock. We have "Benefits" includes details. Thus produce HTML:

About the role

At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it.

About Integrative Sciences: Integrative Sciences is the external innovation engine of BMS Research. The group identifies and shapes collaborations with biotech, academic, platform, and venture partners that complement internal Discovery and Early Development priorities. Integrative Sciences connects Research strategy with external opportunity flow, working closely with Business Development, Global Alliance Management, Thematic Research Centers, and Therapeutic Area leadership to convert promising science into decision-ready, industry-workable collaborations. The group is expected to source strategically, triage rigorously, shape executable collaboration plans, manage scientific relationships effectively, and ensure external innovation strengthens the BMS pipeline and the broader Research operating system.

Position Summary: The Executive Director is a senior leader within Integrative Sciences focused on immunology external innovation, and serves as a key interface across Global Research, Early Development, Business Development, Alliance Management, and external collaboration partners. The role is responsible for identifying, evaluating, and advancing high-value external scientific opportunities, collaborations, and assets in immune-mediated diseases across rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology, and other immunology-driven conditions. Where appropriate the Executive Director will participate in Site Leadership teams. Where appropriate, the Executive Director may serve as a Board Observer, or in other relevant governance roles, for external immunology companies on behalf of BMS. This position sits within the BMS Research organization and reports to the U.S. Head of Integrative Sciences. Travel is approximately 30%, domestic and international. The preferred location is Cambridge, MA (CMX); remote arrangements will be considered on a case‑by‑case basis.

Then Responsibilities:

Responsibilities

  • Strategy and Opportunity Triage: Communicate internal Immunology Research pipeline priorities to the Integrative Sciences group, and align external search, evaluation, and triage activities with BMS Research principles and the Enterprise Immunology Therapeutic Area strategy.
  • Lead the Immunology triage process within Integrative Sciences, ensuring disciplined, criteria-driven evaluation of external opportunities.
  • Identify, evaluate, and bring forward immunology opportunities — academic collaborations, biotech partnerships, platform technologies, and pre-IND or IND-stage assets — that add to or complement the internal pipeline.
  • Form and lead cross-functional diligence teams for the evaluation of Integrative Sciences collaboration opportunities, and provide expert scientific opinion during Business Development reviews and due diligence.
  • Partner with Search & Evaluation and Business Development transaction leads to advance prioritized opportunities on disciplined, accelerated timelines.
  • Work with Research Finance to ensure activities are aligned, captured, and approved within Research budgets.
  • Collaboration Design and Execution: Contribute to the design and execution of a blended external innovation strategy spanning corporate and academic collaborations.
  • Shape opportunities into practical collaboration plans with clear scientific objectives, work plans, milestones, governance structures, decision points, and success measures.
  • Advise on collaboration structures and contract development as the scientific lead, working closely with Business Development, transaction leads, Legal, and IP.
  • Governance, Representation, and Communication: Serve on joint governance committees and oversight bodies established to coordinate agreed research plans with academic and industry partners, ensuring collaborations remain scientifically focused and operationally accountable.
  • Represent Integrative Sciences, as appropriate, to other BMS organizations, regulatory agencies, investors, partners, and the broader scientific community.
  • Communicate regularly to internal client and partner groups — and their leadership — on external research activities and progress.
  • Compose progress reports and decision documentation for senior management, and deliver presentations and briefings on the scientific and organizational activities within the area of responsibility.
  • Leadership: Model scientific leadership, collaborative behavior, and an enterprise mindset across Research and Integrative Sciences, consistent with BMS values.
Qualifications/Requirements: We have Required and Preferred. Could combine into Requirements section? The instruction lists Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. We could use Qualifications for required and preferred. Or Requirements for required, Qualifications for preferred? Usually they'd be similar. We'll follow:

Requirements

for required qualifications, and

Qualifications

for preferred? But they said "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We'll put Required under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. Thus:

Requirements

  • PhD or equivalent advanced scientific training in immunology, inflammation biology, or a related discipline relevant to immune-mediated diseases.
  • 10+ years of drug discovery and/or early development experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry, with deep, hands‑on expertise in immunology.
  • Strong understanding of immune‑mediated disease biology across rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology, or related indications, with the ability to assess external opportunities against BMS Research priorities.
  • Demonstrated ability to evaluate external scientific opportunities, including academic collaborations, biotech partnerships, platform technologies, and pre‑IND or IND‑stage assets.
  • Experience shaping external collaboration plans — scientific objectives, work plans, milestones, governance structures, decision points, and success measures — and negotiating them with external partners.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to represent Immunology external innovation and the broader Integrative Sciences mission to internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • Track record of advancing therapeutic programs toward IND stage or beyond, with knowledge of the scientific, translational, and operational requirements for decision‑ready programs.
  • Experience working across Research, Early Development, Business Development, Alliance Management, Legal, IP, Finance, Thematic Research Centers, and Therapeutic Area leadership — or equivalent cross‑functional structures — to support disciplined opportunity triage and execution.
  • Strong capability in building productive relationships, setting clear expectations, and keeping collaboration structures scientifically focused and operationally accountable.
  • Understanding of the financial, legal, contractual, and geographic considerations that affect external research collaborations, including non‑U.S. partnerships.
  • We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway.

Schedule: Not provided; we should not create a Schedule section. We must not include any boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. We removed those. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Make sure we preserve all substantive info: we included intro, About Integrative Sciences, Position Summary, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, benefits, pay. We omitted "How We Work" (work models) which is substantive but not fitting into given headings; maybe could be placed under Schedule? But schedule is about work schedule, not work model. Could we add a Section "How We Work"? Not in
