HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when there is real content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting: It includes company description, then "About The Role", then responsibilities, required skills, preferred qualifications, physical & mental requirements, benefits.
We need headings: for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: content after "About The Role". Should be a section heading "About the role". Use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: content after "About The Role". Should be a section heading "About the role". Use About the role
then paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: there is a "Key Responsibilities" section with bullet points. Should be a section heading "Responsibilities". Use - for each bullet.
- Requirements: there is "Required Skills And Experience". Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
We have "Required Skills And Experience" (education, years, etc). Also "Preferred Qualifications". Also "Physical & Mental Requirements". Also "Benefits We Offer". Also maybe "Pay" not present (no salary). So we should not include Pay or Schedule unless present. No schedule info given. So omit Pay and Schedule.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (maybe combine required skills and experience)
- Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications)
- Benefits
But we need to avoid duplication. Could treat "Required Skills And Experience" as "Requirements". "Preferred Qualifications" as "Qualifications". "Physical & Mental Requirements" maybe also part of Requirements? Could be separate but we could include under Requirements as a subsection? However instruction: use headings for section headings; we can have multiple sections. We could have:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
...
Requirements
... required skills and experience ...
... physical & mental requirements ...
Qualifications
... preferred qualifications ...
Benefits
...
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must preserve all substantive information. Need to extract details.
Let's extract About the role content:
"Azurity Pharmaceuticals is a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company focused on innovative products that meet the needs of underserved patients. Within the Surgical Business Unit — our hospital-focused, targeted-delivery specialty business — we are preparing to launch D-PLEX100, a locally administered, extended-release surgical anti-infective for the prevention of surgical site infection. We are seeking a Head of Marketing (Senior Director) to own US brand strategy and launch for D-PLEX100. Reporting to the VP, NA Commercial Brand Executive for Oncology, this individual is the US marketing lead for the asset — responsible for brand strategy, positioning, launch planning and readiness, and in-line execution across the hospital and surgical setting. D-PLEX100 is an inpatient, DRG-reimbursed product whose adoption is governed at the account level by institutional Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) committees; success depends on winning formulary approval and building protocol-level demand, not on individual prescribing alone. The role leads a small brand team, directs external agencies, and partners closely with Market Access/HEOR, Medical Affairs, Sales, Regulatory, and Program Management to bring a differentiated, reimbursement-dependent hospital product to market. This role has two direct reports — a Director, Brand Marketing (primarily, but not limited to, in-line HCP marketing execution and campaign/agency management) and a Senior Manager, Brand Marketing – Institutional (primarily, but not limited to, institutional and account-facing materials, congress and KOL logistics) The ideal candidate brings a minimum of 12 years in pharmaceutical or biotech, including at least 6 years of US marketing experience working with DRG-reimbursed hospital, surgical, and/or anti-infective products, and prior people-management experience. This is a US-focused role in a fast-paced, launch-stage environment that rewards a hands-on, collaborative leader."
We should keep that as paragraph(s). Could split into multiple but okay.
Responsibilities: list under "Key Responsibilities". Subheadings: Brand Strategy & Execution, Institutional Access & P&T Strategy, Launch Planning & Readiness, Portfolio & Lifecycle Management, Team Leadership, Stakeholder & Team Collaboration, Measures of Success.
We need to output
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each bullet under responsibilities should be
- . Should we keep subheadings inside li? Probably we can include the subheading as part of li text (bold?). But we just need to output plain text; we can include the subheading as part of li.
Thus each main bullet: e.g., "Brand Strategy & Execution: Own US brand strategy for D-PLEX100 — positioning, value proposition, messaging, and the integrated marketing plan — aligned to corporate and commercial objectives and to the DRG/NTAP reimbursement pathway. Develop and execute the launch and in-line marketing plan for the hospital and surgical setting, ensuring timely development, medical/legal/regulatory review, production, and deployment of campaigns and materials. Monitor brand performance, KPIs, and market dynamics — including P&T and formulary access, protocol adoption, and account-level uptake — to optimize strategy and inform tactical pivots. Commission and interpret primary and secondary market research to build surgeon, pharmacy, and institutional insight and to inform brand strategy."
Similarly for others.
We need to ensure we don't lose any content.

**Team Leadership**
Hire, develop, and lead two direct reports (Director, Brand Marketing; Senior Manager, Brand Marketing – Institutional), setting objectives, allocating work across the brand plan, and building marketing capability on the franchise.
