We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Company Description, Job Description, Key Responsibilities, Qualifications, Additional Information (benefits, pay range). We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out the company description? The instruction says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". The job title is "Lead Director, Sales Planning & IC". We should not repeat that as heading. The company description maybe considered part of "About the role"? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have an "About the role" section containing the job description paragraph(s). The "Company Description" about AbbVie maybe could be considered part of "About the role"? But it's more about company. However we can include it under About the role as it's substantive. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we include company description text. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for the title. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's map: - About the role: includes company description and job description paragraph (the first paragraph after Job Description). That seems substantive. - Responsibilities: we have "Key Responsibilities" with bullet-like sentences. We'll put those in
  • . - Requirements: we have "Qualifications" section with bullet-like sentences. That could be Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. The posting has "Qualifications" heading. We'll use

    Qualifications

    and put the list there. Possibly also Requirements? But we can treat Qualifications as Requirements. To avoid duplication, we can just use Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could skip if no specific skills list. The qualifications include skills like "Ability to lead without authority", "Sophisticated skills for coaching...". Those could be considered skills. But we already have Qualifications. We could add a Skills section if we want to separate, but risk duplication. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine skills into Qualifications. - Benefits: Additional Information includes benefits description: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick), medical/dental/vision insurance and 401(k) to eligible employees. This job is eligible to participate in our long-term incentive programs." Also mention compensation range? Actually there is a pay range described in Additional Information: "Applicable only to applicants applying to a position in any location with pay disclosure requirements under state or local law: The compensation range described below is the range of possible base pay compensation...". Then later: "Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages...". So there is pay info. We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them. It does state a compensation range description but not actual numbers. It says "The compensation range described below is the range of possible base pay compensation that the Company believes in good faith it will pay for this role at the time of this posting based on the job grade for this position." However no actual numbers are given. The instruction says: 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. Since the posting does not give actual numbers, but does describe that there is a range described below (but not provided). This is ambiguous. It says "The compensation range described below is the range of possible base pay compensation..." but then no numbers follow. That could be considered placeholder. Safer to not include Pay section because no actual numbers. However we could include Pay section with the description that they will disclose range per local law but not provided. That might be considered filler. I'd skip Pay. - Benefits: we have actual benefits description (PTO, insurance, 401k, long-term incentive). That's substantive, so include Benefits. - Schedule: not mentioned, skip. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. We need to use

    for each section heading. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

      for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy the text exactly (maybe minor formatting). Remove boilerplate: EEO statements, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Additional Information" heading? We'll incorporate its content into Benefits and maybe Pay (but we skip Pay). Also remove "Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages..." etc. That's legal boilerplate; remove. Also remove "Applicable only to applicants applying to a position in any location with pay disclosure requirements under state or local law:" etc. That's part of pay description; we might keep if we include Pay, but we skip. We need to remove duplicated lines. Ensure we don't include the "Company Description About AbbVie" heading as a heading; we just include the paragraph(s) as prose under About the role. Let's extract the substantive text: Company Description About AbbVie: "AbbVie's mission is to discover and deliver innovative medicines and solutions that solve serious health issues today and address the medical challenges of tomorrow. We strive to have a remarkable impact on people's lives across several key therapeutic areas including immunology, oncology and neuroscience - and products and services in our Allergan Aesthetics portfolio. For more information about AbbVie, please visit us at www.abbvie.com. Follow @abbvie on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube." Job Description paragraph after "Job Description": "The Analytics & Performance Analytics (APEX) function supports AbbVie’s US organization and is comprised of highly respected researchers, analysts, data scientists and strategists who are committed to being best-in-class within the biopharmaceutical industry. We serve as strategic in-house counsel, ensuring that all decisions leverage the key insights that we develop. We continue to build new capabilities and skill sets, encouraging our team members to pull up a chair, be themselves, be creative, speak their minds, and do good work. We are a passionate, diverse, flexible, and inclusive organization with a culture that supports the best ideas, wherever they originate. We are smart, fun, quirky, and innovative – and we’d love for you to join us." Then the next paragraph: "The Lead Director, Sales Planning & IC leads enterprise-wide analytical innovation across field planning, Incentive Compensation (IC), business rules, call planning, targeting, and technology-enabled decision support for field-based teams. Drawing on deep marketplace insight, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and robust data sets, this leader advances Future-Fit solutions that balance strategic design with operational practicality—equipping teams to engage patients, payers, and healthcare providers with greater impact. This leader brings proven Sales Force Effectiveness (SFE) expertise, including a strong understanding of the distinct dynamics across pharma and sales. They challenge conventional approaches and identify forward-looking solutions that position the business for future success. As an inspirational people leader, they create differentiated development opportunities that strengthen both technical and leadership capabilities across the team." We can combine these into About the role prose. Now Responsibilities: The bullet points under "Key Responsibilities". They are sentences separated by periods but no explicit bullet markers. We need to turn each duty into

    • . The text: "Capability Strategy & Delivery Lead AbbVie’s enterprise-wide Incentive Compensation strategy, philosophy, and governance; guide franchise-specific plan design; and represent AbbVie in industry benchmarking forums and peer roundtables. Provide strategic leadership and accountability for next-generation CRM capabilities supporting Call Planning and Incentive Compensation. Lead Incentive Compensation execution through a cross-functional operating model spanning multiple functions and more than 10 teams, enabling agile reporting, strengthening data integrity, and reducing errors across brand performance reporting, Incentive Compensation, and sales planning. Shape and align leadership around next-generation call planning and targeting solutions that use real-time insights, artificial intelligence, and robust data to enhance field effectiveness and decision-making. Leadership & Collaboration Lead the Incentive Compensation and Sales Planning teams, ensuring alignment with enterprise strategy, business priorities, and delivery standards. Lead, mentor, and develop Incentive Compensation and Sales Planning leaders and their teams through coaching, performance guidance, succession planning, and career development support. Facilitate collaboration between senior business leaders and cross-functional teams to secure input, feedback, and alignment on Incentive Compensation and Sales Planning priorities.

Governance & Compliance Establish and enforce governance frameworks to ensure Incentive Compensation and Sales Planning initiatives comply with applicable regulatory, privacy, data, and enterprise requirements. Manage execution risks and cross-functional dependencies, making risk-informed decisions that minimize disruption and maintain momentum. Ensure strategic decisions, process documentation, business rules, and operational practices align with enterprise standards and governance protocols" We need to split into items. Each line seems a separate duty. Some lines have multiple sentences separated by periods but we can keep as one
    • . We'll treat each line as an item. Now Qualifications: The bullet points under "Qualifications". They are sentences: "Bachelor’s Degree required, and 10+ years of relevant experience across field leadership, marketing, and analytics. Prior 3-5 years’ experience in field or functional leadership and/or business management or consulting. Experience with AI-enabled and business intelligence capabilities, data analytics, and digital customer engagement is highly desirable. Previous experience leading broad organizational change initiatives, navigating new ways of working, building positive, accountable, and highly engaged team culture. Knowledge and deep understanding of overall business operations in pharma/biotech and healthcare industry. Strong understanding of industry legal, analytical and compliance landscape and ability to apply to diverse situations to keenly evaluate risk and develop appropriate risk mitigation strategies. Demonstrated leadership ability to develop and drive an organizational strategy in a very complex matrix internal and external environment. Ability to lead without authority, driving through execution across multiple functionally diverse stakeholders. Sophisticated skills for coaching, training, and/or mentoring peers or others as assigned; helping such others to better meet or exceed their goals and achieve their full potential in role." We'll put each as
    • . Now Benefits: from Additional Information: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick), medical/dental/vision insurance and 401(k) to eligible employees. This job is eligible to participate in our long-term incentive programs." We could also include the note about compensation range? But we decided to skip Pay. However the benefits section could also mention "This job is eligible to participate in our long-term incentive programs." That's a benefit. We'll put that as
      • maybe as a single
      • containing both sentences, or split into two
      • . Since it's a list of benefits, we can split: paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, 401(k), long-term incentive programs. But the text lumps them. Safer to keep as a single
      • with the sentence(s). However instruction: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
            with
