Also remove "The application deadline for this position is stated on this posting." etc. We need to keep substantive info: description about role, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred experience, required skills, benefits, salary range, travel %, etc. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: The initial paragraph: "Grow and accelerate your career with our Oncology Sales organization and join a team that’s driven to make an impact on cancer patients! We take a customer-centric approach by leveraging emerging digital technologies and data analytics to better understand our patients' needs. Developing your career with us will allow you to join a group of passionate professionals, driven by purpose and determined to help save and improve lives. Help us continue to grow and define the oncology market of today and tomorrow with a driven, customer-focused, and collaborative team." That's suitable for About the role. - Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Key Responsibilities Include And May Not Be Limited To". We need to extract each responsibility as list items. List: - Working with the other team members in the territory, attain or exceed the assigned sales goals for the geography. - In collaboration with territory counterparts, ensure customers have a seamless experience with our company's Oncology, meet with key stakeholders to understand practice structure, business model, and key influencers, while building business relationships and trust to uncover and comprehend their needs. - In customer engagements, employ approved resources and messaging to communicate a compelling, patient-centered rationale for our company's Oncology products in their indicated uses. - Possess knowledge of the workings of the extended care team/multidisciplinary team, cancer staging, possible treatment options, pathways, and guidelines associated with different tumors/diseases, recognizing the impact of those options on patients. - Analyze and identify trends in a complex buying environment, including multiple channels of drug distribution (Oncology group purchasing organizations, wholesalers, and specialty pharmacies). - Review and evaluate patterns for products purchased and prescribed (outpatient vs in-patient infusion, as part of hospital or GPO contract, etc.) - Comprehend complex accounts and local market interdependencies to proactively develop and execute short- and long-term plans in collaboration with the local team and district manager (known as the Oncology Customer Team Leader). - Ask insightful questions to understand customer priorities and needs to support engaging and relevant conversations about the product portfolio. - Ensure a consistent customer experience across our Company’s division and functional areas and share key learnings to support customer needs by effectively communicating and collaborating with the in-scope customer team: Customer Team Leader, Key Account Manager, Nurse Educator, Field Reimbursement Associate, Medicare Account Executive, and more. We need to keep these as list items. - Qualifications: Minimum Requirements: Bachelor’s degree with at least 6 years of sales experience or a minimum of high school diploma with at least 8 years of equivalent experience. Equivalent experience can be professional sales experience, work experience in the healthcare/scientific field with oncology experience being strongly preferred (including pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical devices) that is not sales related, professional marketing experience, or military experience. Valid driver’s license and able to drive a vehicle. Travel the amount of time the role requires, including overnight travel 10 - 15%. Reside in or within a reasonable distance to the district. We also have Preferred Experience And Skills: 2+ years of oncology field-based experience selling an oncology therapeutic to oncology customers. Oncology field sales or clinical oncology experience. Documented history of strong performance in a sales/marketing or oncology clinical role. We also have Required Skills list: many items: Account Management, Account Management (duplicate), Adaptability, Business Decisions, Business Models, Business Sales, Client Advisory, Competency Management, Customer Communications, Customer Engagement, Customer-Focused, Customer Management, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Customer Service, Customer Support, Data Analysis, Financial Goal Setting, Interpersonal Relationships, Lead Generation, Market Analysis, Oncology Sales, Order Processing, Outside Sales, Product Knowledge, Relationship Building {+ 10 more}. This is a list of skills. We also have Preferred Skills: Current Employees apply HERE etc (but that's application instruction). Actually "Preferred Skills" heading then list of skills? The text: "Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". That seems misplaced; maybe the preferred skills list got lost. Actually after "Preferred Experience And Skills" there is a list: "2+ years of oncology field-based experience selling an oncology therapeutic to oncology customers. Oncology field sales or clinical oncology experience. Documented history of strong performance in a sales/marketing or oncology clinical role." Then "#oncologysales #eligibleforerp". Then "Required Skills Account Management, Account Management, Adaptability, Business Decisions, Business Models, Business Sales, Client Advisory, Competency Management, Customer Communications, Customer Engagement, Customer-Focused, Customer Management, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Customer Service, Customer Support, Data Analysis, Financial Goal Setting, Interpersonal Relationships, Lead Generation, Market Analysis, Oncology Sales, Order Processing, Outside Sales, Product Knowledge, Relationship Building {+ 10 more}". Then "Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". That seems like the preferred skills section got replaced by application instructions. So we may ignore that as boilerplate. Thus we have Skills section: we can list the required skills (maybe deduplicate). We'll include them as

• items. We have Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits. Available benefits include medical, dental, vision healthcare and other insurance benefits (for employee and family), retirement benefits, including 401(k), paid holidays, vacation, and compassionate and sick days. More information about benefits is available at https://jobs.merck.com/us/en/compensation-and-benefits." We have Pay: "The salary range for this role is $142,400.00 - $224,100.00 This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. An employee’s position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, government requirements, and business or organizational needs. The successful candidate will be eligible for annual bonus and long-term incentive, if applicable." We have Schedule/Travel: Travel requirements: "Travel (%) and overnight requirements vary based on candidate location." Also earlier: "Travel the amount of time the role requires, including overnight travel 10 - 15%." Also later: "Travel Requirements 25% Flexible Work Arrangements Remote Shift Not Indicated". There's some inconsistency. We need to include only if posting actually states them. The posting says: "Travel (%) and overnight requirements vary based on candidate location." Also "Travel the amount of time the role requires, including overnight travel 10 - 15%." Also later "Travel Requirements 25% Flexible Work Arrangements Remote Shift Not Indicated". That seems like metadata from some system. We should include travel info as Schedule section? The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have a Schedule section if there is real specific content. We have travel percentage info: "Travel the amount of time the role requires, including overnight travel 10 - 15%." Also "Travel (%) and overnight requirements vary based on candidate location." That's somewhat vague but still specific: overnight travel 10-15%. We can include that. We should not include "Flexible Work Arrangements Remote Shift Not Indicated" as it's not specific. Thus Schedule section: include travel expectations. Now we need to avoid duplicating content. Also we need to remove duplicated lines like "Account Management, Account Management". We'll deduplicate. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should not omit details, but we can reformat. However we can combine similar items? Might be considered summarizing. Safer to keep each bullet as is, but we can deduplicate exact duplicates. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's craft:
