Executive Medical Director - Physician -Early Clinical Development, Immunology

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, accommodation request, etc). Must not include duplicated lines. Must not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes: "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 Full-time equivalent employees also will be eligible for a company bonus (depending, in part, on company and individual performance). In addition, Lilly offers a comprehensive benefit program to eligible employees," It cuts off but indicates benefits exist. So we have Pay and Benefits content. Schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule section. We need sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (Primary Responsibilities bullet list), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (Key Competencies), Benefits (benefit program mention), Pay (compensation range and bonus). Possibly also "Additional Information And Expectations" includes travel, location, reporting, matrix relationships. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Additional Information". But only allowed headings are the listed ones. We could incorporate travel/location etc into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role can include location, travel, reporting. The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have those headings. We must not create others. So we need to fit all info into those sections. Thus: - About the role: include position summary, location, travel, reporting, matrix relationships, opportunity. - Responsibilities: list primary responsibilities bullet points (maybe grouped under subheadings? but we just need

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a single
  with all responsibilities items. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Skills: Key Competencies bullet list (maybe grouped under subcategories but still list items). - Benefits: mention comprehensive benefit program (maybe also mention bonus? but bonus is part of Pay). So Benefits: Lilly offers a comprehensive benefit program to eligible employees (maybe also mention other benefits? Not detailed). We'll just include that. - Pay: compensation range and bonus eligibility. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Ensure we don't miss any details from the posting. Let's extract substantive content: From the posting: - At Lilly, the work is demanding because patients are waiting... (mission statement). This is substantive? It's about company mission.
