Executive Medical Director - Physician -Early Clinical Development, Immunology

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when content present. Must include headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, accommodation request, etc). Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must only include sections where posting has real specific content. We have content: About the role (the introductory paragraphs about Lilly and position summary). Responsibilities (Primary Responsibilities with subpoints). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (Key Competencies). Benefits (maybe mention comprehensive benefit program). Pay (anticipated wage range). Schedule (maybe not present; there is travel percentage but not schedule like full-time/part-time). There's mention of "Full-time equivalent employees also will be eligible for a company bonus". That indicates full-time. Could we create Schedule section? The posting does not explicitly state schedule like "Full-time" but mentions full-time equivalent employees. Might be considered schedule info. However rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state "Full-time equivalent employees also will be eligible for a company bonus". That implies full-time schedule. Could we include Schedule with "Full-time"? Might be okay. But we need to ensure we don't invent. The phrase "Full-time equivalent employees" indicates schedule is full-time. So we can include Schedule section with that. Benefits: "In addition, Lilly offers a comprehensive benefit program to eligible employees". That's benefits content. So we can include Benefits. Pay: "Actual compensation will depend on a candidate’s education, experience, skills, and geographic location. The anticipated wage for this position is $265,500 - $389,400". So Pay section. Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO, accommodation request, ERGs list, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like repeated Lilly mission statements. Keep substantive info. We need to preserve all substantive info: The introductory paragraphs about Lilly, position summary, responsibilities list, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, key competencies, additional info (travel, location, reporting, matrix relationships, opportunity). Also mention travel 25-40% domestic and international required. Location: Boston, San Diego, San Francisco, Indianapolis. Reports to: head of Early Clinical Development, Immunology Discovery. Matrix relationships: extensive collaboration across ... Opportunity to play a foundational leadership role... We should incorporate those into appropriate sections: maybe About the role includes location, travel, reporting? Could create separate sections? The instruction says use headings for those specific categories; we can put location/travel/reporting under About the role or maybe under Additional Information but we don't have a heading for that. We could include them in About the role paragraph. We must not create sections with filler. So we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to format lists with

• . For responsibilities, we have sub-bullets under each heading. We'll need to flatten? Probably we can keep nested lists? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have top-level
    with each responsibility as
    • . If there are sub-bullets, we could nest another
      • inside. That's okay. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

        for the title. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft content. About the role: combine the introductory paragraphs and position summary, plus location, travel, reporting, matrix relationships, opportunity. We need to avoid duplication: The posting repeats "At Lilly, the work is demanding..." and later "At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery..." We'll combine unique info. Write:

        At Lilly, the work is demanding because patients are waiting. We unite caring with discovery to help make life better for people around the world, knowing that every decision, every detail, and every day matters. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, our over 50,000 employees around the globe take on complex challenges to discover and deliver life-changing medicines, strengthen how health is understood and managed, and support the communities we serve. This is hard, urgent, selfless work—but it’s work worth doing. If you’re driven by purpose and ready to bring your best to work that truly matters for patients, we invite you to join us.

        We are seeking a high-impact physician scientist and emerging industry leader to join our Immunology team as Executive Medical Director, Early Clinical Development.
