HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. Must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need sections: About the role? The posting includes "Who We Are" (company description) and "The Role". Could treat "Who We Are" as About the company? But headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
We have: Who We Are (company overview) - could be placed under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role description. But we have "The Role" paragraph describing role. Could use "About the role" heading for that paragraph.
Responsibilities: list bullet points under Responsibilities.
Qualifications: list bullet points.
Skills: maybe combine with Qualifications? But we have qualifications list includes education, experience, writing skills, etc. Could separate Skills? The instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have qualifications content; we could put under "Qualifications". Skills maybe not separate if overlapping.
Benefits: we have benefits description under "Our Offer To You". That includes benefits. So we can have Benefits heading.
Pay: we have Salary Range $135,000 to $160,000 USD Target Bonus: 15% Exact compensation will vary based on skills, experience, and location. So we can have Pay heading with that info.
Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
We also have Locations info (Waltham, MA; Boulder, CO). Could be part of About the role? Might be separate but no heading for Locations. Could include in About the role paragraph or maybe under Benefits? Better to include in About the role as location info.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Remove that.
We must preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose details like "Assist in creating and maintaining a corporate calendar across functions", etc.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

About the company
? The instruction says usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not create other headings. We could incorporate company info into About the role paragraph as a brief intro. That would preserve it. Thus modify About the role paragraph to include company description. Let's craft:

That preserves company info. Now ensure we didn't miss any responsibilities: we captured all. Check responsibilities list: we have bullet for "Internal and External Communications: Partner with the Head of IR to develop and maintain the company's core messaging framework, ensuring consistency across external materials and internal stakeholders". The original had "Partner with the Head of IR to develop and maintain the company's core messaging framework, ensuring consistency across external materials and internal stakeholdersAssist in creating and maintaining a corporate calendar across functions". Actually the original had two sentences combined? We split. We also have "Assist in creating and maintaining a corporate calendar across functions" separate bullet. "Assist in drafting press releases across all corporate announcement types —, clinical data, regulatory updates, milestones, partnerships, and executive news—for Head of IR and legal review" we captured. "Maintain a library of clinical data communications precedents, peer company disclosure benchmarks, and key message archives" captured. "Support internal communications with direction from People Team" captured. Social media & digital communications: we have two bullets: execute day-to-day social media presence; monitor channels; prepare periodic reports. Investor Relations: we have three bullets: coordinate logistics and support preparation of materials for key IR activities; support digital IR strategy; coordinate investor inquiries and maintain investor contact databases, and other IR records. Check we didn't miss "Support digital IR strategy, including maintenance of the IR website, investor-facing social media channels, and online financial data accuracy" we have that. All good. Qualifications: we captured all bullet points. Check we missed "Experience working with legal and medical/regulatory review processes for external communications content" we included in writing skills bullet. Check we missed "Experience with IR analytics platforms (e.g., Nasdaq IR Insight, FactSet/Irwin, AlphaSense, etc.)" included.
