for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove relocation benefits line? It says "Relocation benefits are not available for this job posting" - that's a minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop it. Probably drop.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse content:

You will work in close partnership with Lead/Principal FAS colleagues on complex account rollouts, while independently managing standard assay implementations, customer training, regulatory compliance support, and advanced technical troubleshooting."
Then bullet list of duties: "As a Field Applications Specialist, you will:" then list items each preceded by bold headings? Actually they are sentences with colon headings: "Post-Sales Technical Implementation: Lead and assist with the technical onboarding, setup, and assay implementation of cobas i601 systems in customer laboratories.

Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove.
We need sections: About the role (intro about Roche culture?), Responsibilities (the duties list), Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (preferred qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits (the benefits paragraph), Pay (salary range), Schedule (travel >50% and company vehicle). Also maybe "Who You Are" is requirements; "Preferred Qualifications" is qualifications; "Strong technical communication skills" etc could be skills.

About the role
At Roche you can show up as yourself, embraced for the unique qualities you bring. Our culture encourages personal expression, open dialogue, and genuine connections, where you are valued, accepted and respected for who you are, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.
Maybe also include the "The Opportunity" paragraph as part of About the role? Could be separate but we can incorporate.
Better: About the role includes the introductory culture and the opportunity description.
Let's include after the intro paragraph a p with the opportunity description: "As a Field Applications Specialist – Mass Spectrometry, you will be a key operational member of our Customer Support team, delivering high-touch technical and scientific execution for Roche’s automated mass spectrometry platform, the cobas i601, across customer laboratories in the region. In this role, you will focus on post-sales technical success—bringing new i601 placements from installation through validation and full go-live status. You will work in close partnership with Lead/Principal FAS colleagues on complex account rollouts, while independently managing standard assay implementations, customer training, regulatory compliance support, and advanced technical troubleshooting."
Then Responsibilities: list the duties bullet points.
We need to extract each duty as list items. The duties are:
- Post-Sales Technical Implementation: Lead and assist with the technical onboarding, setup, and assay implementation of cobas i601 systems in customer laboratories. Ensure the platform and automated sample handling meet strict technical and performance specifications
- Account Collaboration: Partner closely with Advanced Applications Specialist team members on large or complex customer accounts—executing on account strategies, assisting in comprehensive workflow builds, and providing reliable scientific support
- Method Validation & Compliance Execution: Guide laboratory personnel through day-to-day assay validation and verification protocols (CLSI, CAP, CLIA). Assist customers in generating data packages required to meet regulatory compliance standards
- On-Site Analytical & Technical Troubleshooting: Serve as a dedicated on-site resource for resolving operational, software, and assay performance issues. Conduct root-cause analysis on analytical anomalies (e.g., peak resolution, matrix interference, calibration drift) to minimize system downtime
- Routine Account Management: Maintain strong working relationships with bench technologists, supervisors, and lab managers to drive consistent system utilization and high customer satisfaction throughout the product lifecycle
- Voice of Customer Escalations: Document product performance issues, user experience feedback, and workflow pain points, escalating trends to leads, technical support, and commercial teams
- Operational Excellence: Maintain accurate CRM records of all customer interactions, service activities, and technical cases. Complete administrative tasks (travel, expense reporting) in accordance with Roche guidelines
We'll put each as - .
Then Requirements: "Who You Are Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Chemistry, Cell Biology or Biochemistry, or Bachelor’s degree in Medical Technology, and/or relevant experience 3 years of previous experience in a clinical laboratory or IT in a clinical lab environment"
We can make a paragraph.
Then Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): list items:
- 2+ years of practical experience operating, maintaining, or troubleshooting LC-MS/MS platforms within a clinical, diagnostic, or analytical laboratory environment
- Solid baseline understanding of mass spectrometry fundamentals (LC-MS/MS, ionization, chromatographic separation, sample preparation, and basic quantitation)
- Strong technical communication skills with the ability to instruct lab staff clearly on complex analytical workflows
- Certifications / Degrees: Medical Laboratory Scientist/Technologist (ASCP/AMT), or Master’s degree in a relevant scientific field
- Regulatory Understanding: Familiarity with clinical laboratory regulatory requirements (CLIA, CAP, CLSI guidelines) as applied to assay verification and validation
- Automation Experience: Hands-on experience with automated liquid handling systems, integrated sample prep, or automated clinical chemistry/immunoassay analyzers
- Collaborative Mindset: Proven track record of working effectively in a team environment, partnering with senior team members, and taking direction on strategic account plans
- Problem-Solving Skills: Strong analytical approach to resolving instrument and assay issues efficiently
We could put as
- .
Then Skills: maybe combine some of the above? But we already have skills in qualifications. Could create a Skills section for "Strong technical communication skills", "Collaborative Mindset", "Problem-Solving Skills". But we might avoid duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called "Qualifications & Skills". But headings list includes Skills separate. We could still include Skills but ensure not thin. We'll include Skills with the communication, collaborative, problem-solving items.
Better: Qualifications section for education/experience and certifications; Skills section for technical communication, collaborative, problem-solving.
Let's decide:
- Requirements: education + 3 years experience.
- Qualifications: preferred qualifications (2+ years LC-MS/MS, understanding fundamentals, certifications, regulatory understanding, automation experience).
- Skills: strong technical communication skills, collaborative mindset, problem-solving skills.
That seems reasonable.
Then Benefits: we have a paragraph about benefits (the "Who we are" paragraph). Actually the
for prose. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove relocation benefits line? It says "Relocation benefits are not available for this job posting" - that's a minor metadata; we can fold into a short
