We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: Brief Description (maybe not needed as heading? Could be part of About the role). The posting includes "Brief Description Responsibilities: Innovation Pipeline Development & Technology Platform Support ..." Actually the text starts: "Brief Description Responsibilities: Innovation Pipeline Development & Technology Platform Support Support the development and execution of Inolex’s innovation pipeline, technology platforms, and scientific roadmap to deliver differentiated ingredient technologies and business growth. Coordinate research priorities, technology roadmaps, stage-gate activities, technical milestones, and commercialization plans to advance innovation from concept through launch.

Then "Physical Requirements Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. This position requires on-site presence at an Inolex facility in Philadelphia, PA at least four days per week to support cross-functional collaboration and engagement with R&D, operations, technical service, and product commercialization teams. Occasional travel approximately 20–30% is required for internal meetings, customer engagements, industry conferences, and global collaboration as needed. Work is primarily performed in an office and laboratory environment; must be able to sit for extended periods, work at a computer, and participate in laboratory or formulation activities as required." Then "This company is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer (EOE/including disability/vets)." (boilerplate to remove) Then "Summary The Manager, RD&C - Innovation and Commercialization supports the development and commercialization readiness of Inolex's innovation portfolio. This role helps translate customer needs, market opportunities, and emerging science into differentiated ingredient technologies, technical development plans, scalable solutions, and commercially ready product platforms. This role applies scientific and technical expertise to advance ingredient innovation from concept through scale-up by supporting feasibility assessment, technical experimentation, product differentiation, documentation, and cross-functional commercialization activities. Market-facing teams identify customer needs, growth priorities, and commercial opportunities. This role partners with those teams to define technical priorities, assess feasibility, coordinate development work, and support the scale-up pathway required for successful commercialization. The Manager is expected to improve the speed, quality, and discipline of RD&C innovation by coordinating technical workstreams, strengthening IP strategy, improving project execution to deliver commercially meaningful innovation." We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe from Brief Description and Summary?), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for Responsibilities (the bullet points under "Brief Description Responsibilities: ..." and also the sections "Commercialization Readiness & Launch Support", "Project Leadership & Team Collaboration"). We have Requirements (the "Required Skills/Abilities:" list). Also Education And Experience could be Qualifications. Skills could be the abilities list? Might need to separate. We have Physical Requirements (on-site presence, travel) which could be Schedule? Actually schedule is about work hours; we have on-site presence four days per week, travel 20-30%. That could be Schedule (or maybe Benefits? Not). There's no explicit Pay or Benefits. So we should not include Pay or Benefits sections because no specific content. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have:

About the role

(maybe combine Brief Description and Summary). Provide prose.

Responsibilities

with
  • items.

    Requirements

    with
    • items (skills/abilities).

      Qualifications

      with
      • items (education and experience).

        Skills

        maybe redundant with Requirements; but we could treat Requirements as skills/abilities, and Qualifications as education/experience. The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We have content for Skills? The "Required Skills/Abilities:" is basically skills. Could put under Skills heading. But we also have Requirements heading; maybe we should put the skills under Skills, and the experience/education under Qualifications. However the posting lumps them as "Requirements Required Skills/Abilities:" and then "Education And Experience". So we can map: - Skills: the list under Required Skills/Abilities. - Qualifications: Education And Experience. But we also have a heading "Requirements" in the list of allowed headings. The instruction says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Requirements as a heading if we have content. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can put the skills list under Requirements, and the education/experience under Qualifications. That seems logical: Requirements heading contains the skills/abilities; Qualifications heading contains education and experience. Thus we will not have a separate Skills heading. Now we need to extract the content into list items. Responsibilities: we have multiple paragraphs: - Support the development and execution of Inolex’s innovation pipeline, technology platforms, and scientific roadmap to deliver differentiated ingredient technologies and business growth. - Coordinate research priorities, technology roadmaps, stage-gate activities, technical milestones, and commercialization plans to advance innovation from concept through launch. - Identify and evaluate internal and external technologies, emerging trends, competitive opportunities, and potential partnerships to strengthen portfolio differentiation and innovation growth. - Conduct technology assessment through competitive intelligence, patent landscape review, scientific literature analysis, benchmarking, and data-driven experimentation to guide technical and business decisions. - Apply expertise in chemistry, formulation science, structure-property relationships, and mechanisms of action to support ingredient design, performance optimization, intellectual property generation, technical differentiation, and commercialization readiness. - Enable customer-facing teams through technical training, scientific storytelling, product knowledge, launch support materials, and commercialization guidance. - Represent Inolex in selected customer, industry, technical, and strategic partnership engagements where innovation or commercialization expertise is required. - Lead assigned RD&C innovation projects and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver innovation excellence, technical rigor, and commercialization success. - Establish clear project expectations, accountability, project management discipline, and standards for scientific execution and documentation. - Build and strengthen capabilities in innovation, formulation science, technical documentation, knowledge management, and commercialization execution. - Foster a culture of innovation, ownership, collaboration, continuous learning, and scientific excellence across project teams. We can turn each sentence into
      • . Requirements (skills/abilities): list: - Deep expertise in chemistry, chemical engineering, physical chemistry, material science, formulation science, or related specialty chemical domains. - Strong understanding of ingredient functionality, formulation interactions, structure-property relationships, mechanisms of action, application behavior, and performance characterization. - Proven ability to support new ingredient or technology development, technical assessment, project execution, and commercialization readiness activities. - Experience with IP strategy, prior art analysis, competitive intelligence, technical documentation, claims support, and patent development support. - Ability to translate scientific innovation and technical data into accurate value propositions, customer benefits, technical narratives, and launch support materials. - Strong project management, portfolio discipline, scientific judgment, cross-functional leadership, and ability to drive execution across multiple technical priorities. - Excellent communication, presentation, stakeholder engagement, technical writing, and scientific storytelling abilities. - Demonstrated collaboration, influence, project leadership, and ability to work effectively across cross-functional technical and commercial teams. Qualifications (education and experience): - Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, Formulation Science, or related field required; M.S. or Ph.D. preferred. - Minimum 10+ years with a B.S., 8+ years with an M.S., or 6+ years with a Ph.D. of relevant industry experience preferred for this manager-level innovation and commercialization scope. - Experience in personal care, specialty chemicals, biotechnology, or related innovation-driven industries preferred; cosmetics or personal care industry experience strongly preferred. - Experience supporting technical teams, innovation programs, formulation science, technical documentation, and commercialization readiness initiatives preferred. Physical Requirements (maybe schedule): we have on-site presence at least four days per week, occasional travel 20-30%, work primarily office/lab, must be able to sit extended periods, work at computer, participate in lab/formulation activities. We could put under Schedule heading: maybe "On-site presence required at least four days per week; occasional travel approximately 20–30%; work primarily in office and laboratory environment; must be able to sit for extended periods, work at a computer, and participate in laboratory or formulation activities as required." But the instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state on-site presence and travel. So we can include Schedule. We should not include Benefits or Pay as no specifics. Now About the role: combine Brief Description and Summary? The brief description is essentially the responsibilities; but we already used that for Responsibilities. The About the role could be a short paragraph summarizing the role: maybe from the Summary paragraph: "The Manager, RD&C - Innovation and Commercialization supports the development and commercialization readiness of Inolex's innovation portfolio. This role helps translate customer needs, market opportunities, and emerging science into differentiated ingredient technologies, technical development plans, scalable solutions, and commercially ready product platforms.
