Prin. Vascular Clinical Specialist - Northern Indiana / South Metro Chicago
or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." The application window close date is metadata; we can include in a short p maybe. Also "Careers that change lives start here." is tagline; we can include in intro. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Vascular Clinical Specialist (implied). We should not add heading for it. We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: About the role? Could be "About the role" summarizing role description. Could also have "Responsibilities" (the POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES list). "Requirements" maybe combine Required and Preferred? Could have "Qualifications" section with required and preferred. "Physical Job Requirements" could be part of Responsibilities or separate? It's specific; we could include under "Physical Requirements". "Benefits" and "Compensation" we have details; we can include a Benefits section (since they list benefits). Pay: they gave salary range; we can include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule specifics; we should not create Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range: "Salary ranges for U.S (excl. PR) locations (USD):100000-105000". So we can include Pay section with that. Benefits: they list many benefits; we can include Benefits section. We need to remove EEO etc. Also remove "Recruitment Fraud Alert" (scam-warning) - remove. Remove "U.S. Work Authorization & Sponsorship"? That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered legal? It's about work authorization; might be considered relevant but maybe we can keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Work authorization is legal but maybe not boilerplate? It's specific to role; but could be considered legal. However it's substantive info about sponsorship. Might be okay to keep? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate; but this is about work authorization sponsorship; it's not boilerplate but specific policy. I'd keep it as a short note maybe under a section like "Work Authorization". But we need to decide if we want a section. Could fold into a short p under "About the role" or "Qualifications". Safer to drop it? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate; but this is not boilerplate; it's a policy. I'd keep it as a short paragraph maybe under a section "Work Authorization". However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine into "About the role" or "Qualifications". I'd include a short p about work authorization within the "About the role" paragraph. We also need to remove duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract substantive content: - Application window close: 25 Sep 2026 (metadata) - Intro: Medtronic is a global leader... mission, employees, patients. - "A Day in the Life": description of role: support cutting-edge therapies, provide clinical expertise, support complex procedures, help expand access, etc. - Role description: Vascular Clinical Specialist provides detailed technical support for vascular products and procedures to clinical professionals; supports sales reps with coverage for critical cases; must work/travel outside standard business hours; territory Northern Indiana / South Metro Chicago; must reside within territory and travel up to 50%; valid driver's license, active insurance, driving record meeting standards. - POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES: bullet list (many). - Required Qualifications: HS Diploma + 11 years OR associate's + 9 years OR Bachelor's + 7 years of work experience in healthcare, field sales, or work experience utilizing complex mathematics, mechanical concepts, science or computing. - Preferred Qualifications: thorough working knowledge of medical terminology, procedures, device industry; strong project management skills; ability to coordinate/participate in numerous tasks/projects fast-paced organized; For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside US, a degree that satisfies 8 C.F.R. 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) required. - Physical Job Requirements: frequent two-handed lifting up to 40 lbs., sitting, standing, walking 8+ hours per day, regularly bending, stooping, squatting, maintaining balance. Work in clinical environments with exposure to eye protection, infectious disease, radiation, while wearing 7-9 lbs of lead for extended periods, using computers/mobile devices, maintaining vision capabilities. - Performs other duties as assigned. - U.S. Work Authorization & Sponsorship: description about sponsorship only for Principal-level and above; below Principal require unrestricted US work authorization. - Benefits & Compensation: Salary range $100,000-$105,000; base salary range applicable across US excl PR and specific CA locations; may vary based on experience etc. Eligible for Sales Incentive Plan (SIP).

Regular employees definition. Note about temporary employees. We must not include EEO etc. We need to output HTML fragment with headings
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Physical Requirements? Maybe combine Physical Requirements into Responsibilities? But it's distinct; we could have a section "Physical Requirements". The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Physical Requirements into Responsibilities as part of role description? But they are separate bullet list; we could keep them under Responsibilities as part of responsibilities. However the responsibilities list already includes many items; physical demands are separate but could be considered part of responsibilities. I'd create a section "Physical Requirements". That's okay.
We also need a section for "Work Authorization"? Could fold into About the role as a short p.
We must not include headings with empty content.
