We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe "About The Job" is the description). The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About The Job (description) – we can treat as "About the role". Should include the paragraphs about Sanofi, mission, etc. - Main Responsibilities – list of bullet points. - Innovation Incubation & Testing Use Cases – also bullet points. - GBU & Cross-Functional Partnership – bullet points. - Governance & Compliance – bullet points. - About You – qualifications and requirements (experience, degree, etc.) – can be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Could split into Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education). But we can combine into one "Requirements" section. - Leadership & Skills – maybe "Skills". - Executive Competencies – maybe also part of Skills or separate? Could be "Skills" as well. - Travel Requirements – mention travel 20-25% – could be a short paragraph under maybe "Travel" but not a separate section unless we have content. The instruction: only include section if posting has real specific content. Travel Requirements is specific: "This global role requires approximately 20–25% travel". That's substantive. Could include as a short

under maybe a "Travel" heading? But headings list includes Schedule, Benefits, Pay. Travel not listed but we could still use

for Travel? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. Probably we should stick to those headings. Travel could be placed under "Schedule"? Not exactly. Could be a short paragraph within "About the role" or separate but not a heading. Safer to embed travel info in a paragraph within "About the role" or maybe under a "Responsibilities"? Not ideal. Could create a "Travel" heading but not in list; risk of violating instruction? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we could still use Travel heading. But to be safe, we could incorporate travel into a paragraph under "About the role" or maybe under a separate short paragraph without heading. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine travel into "About the role". That seems fine. - Why Choose Us – benefits description: includes rewards package, health and wellbeing benefits, parental leave, etc. This is substantive benefits. So we should include a Benefits section. - Compensation line: "All compensation will be determined commensurate with demonstrated experience." That's placeholder; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. So omit Pay. - Also there is EEO boilerplate at end – remove. - Also there are hashtags #GD-SG #vhd – remove. - Also "Employees may be eligible to participate in Company employee benefit programs, and additional benefits information can be found here." That's generic; we can ignore. Thus sections:

About the role

– include the descriptive paragraphs from "About The Job At Sanofi, we chase..." up to maybe before "Main Responsibilities". Also include travel? We'll embed travel sentence there.

Responsibilities

– combine the bullet points from Main Responsibilities, Innovation Incubation & Testing Use Cases, GBU & Cross-Functional Partnership, Governance & Compliance. Could be one big list. But we might want to keep them separate? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine all duty bullets into one Responsibilities section.

Requirements

– include About You (experience, degree, etc.) plus maybe Leadership & Skills and Executive Competencies? Those are more skills/competencies. Could be separate Skills section. Let's split: Requirements for experience/education; Skills for leadership & skills and executive competencies. Thus:

Requirements

– experience 10+ years, advanced scientific degree preferred, experience with AI-powered content platforms, immersive tech, omnichannel medical communications, proven track record managing complex multi-stakeholder platform innovation projects, familiarity with GenAI, AR/VR, medical education platforms, strong communication skills.

Skills

– Visionary platform strategist, deep expertise in scientific communication, medical education technology, digital content innovation; strong understanding of GenAI applications, immersive tech; ability to bridge medical/scientific expertise with technology platform design; track record leading platform/product innovation initiatives from concept to scale; excellence in cross-functional collaboration; Executive Competencies: Platform Vision, Scientific Credibility, Innovation Incubation, Omnichannel Thinking, Regulatory Acumen. We could list these as bullet points.

Benefits

– from Why Choose Us: thoughtful rewards package, opportunities to grow talent, health and wellbeing benefits including high-quality healthcare, prevention and wellness programs, at least 14 weeks gender-neutral parental leave, pioneering biopharma company engaging patients early, improving lives, working at forefront of drug discovery harnessing cutting-edge AI, data, digital platforms. We should not include generic statements like "Employees may be eligible..." etc. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details.
