Principal, Medical Writer
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to map content to appropriate headings. The posting includes: Who We Are (company overview) maybe "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is company description, not role. Could be "About the role" but we have summary description. We could use "About the role" heading for summary description? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should create sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for: Summary description (could be About the role). Responsibilities (clear). Experience (could be Requirements/Qualifications). Education (Qualifications). Workstyle (maybe Schedule? Actually workstyle about remote/hybrid). Could be Schedule? Not exactly. Could be Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. So we should include sections: About the role (summary description), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Experience and Education?), Qualifications (maybe separate). But we must not create thin sections. Let's think: The posting has distinct sections: Who We Are (company overview) - maybe not needed as role-specific; but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about the position, not company. The posting includes "SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:" which describes the role purpose. That fits "About the role". Then "RESPONSIBILITIES:" fits Responsibilities. Then "EXPERIENCE:" fits Requirements/Qualifications. Then "EDUCATION:" could be Qualifications. Then "WORKSTYLE:" could be Schedule (remote/hybrid). There's no Benefits or Pay. So we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Schedule. Ensure we only include sections with real content.
We need to use for each heading. Then content: For About the role, we put the summary description paragraph(s). For Responsibilities, we need - for each bullet. The responsibilities list is a paragraph with sentences separated by line breaks? We'll split each sentence into li. Must preserve all substantive info. We'll extract each duty.
Let's list responsibilities from text:
- Oversight responsibilities for Medical Writing staff
- Works with the Head of Medical Writing to establish and maintain timelines for program planning.
- Drafts and edits documents used in conducting and reporting the results of clinical studies, including protocols, protocol amendments, informed consent forms, and clinical study reports
- Drafts and edits documents used in reporting aggregate safety and efficacy information for a molecule, such as investigator’s brochures and periodic safety reports (e.g. PBRERs, DSURs)
- Drafts and edits documents used in the preparation of regulatory filings (e.g. briefing books, CTD Module 2/Module 5 clinical or integrated summaries).
- Manages study team participation in the preparation of such documents, including scheduling and chairing meetings, developing and managing timelines, and managing the document review and comment adjudication processes
- Represents CMW at cross-functional team meetings (e.g. study team, development team, other sub-teams).
- Provides peer review and editing support for other regulatory documents, such as statistical analysis plans, CRFs, and other study materials
- Adheres to departmental procedures and practices and technical and industry standards during all aspects of work.
- Assists in developing and reviewing standard processes and templates within Clinical Medical Writing, and may also review/consult on the development of standard processes and templates in other departments
- Works effectively with cross-functional groups within BioMarin
- Other tasks as assigned.
We'll make each as
- .
Experience section: It's a long block with many sub-bullets. We'll need to parse into list items. Could group under Requirements. We'll output
- each distinct requirement sentence. However many are long sentences with semicolons. We'll split by periods? Better to keep each bullet as a separate line as they appear in original after "EXPERIENCE:" The text after EXPERIENCE: includes paragraphs with headings like Clinical Studies, Management Experience, Medical Writing, Regulatory, Project Management, Program Management, Communication. We could treat each heading as a subheading? But instruction only allows
for section headings; we could embed ? Not allowed. Better to just make a list of items, preserving the content. Could keep paragraphs as
for each subsection? The rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So for experience, which is a list of requirements, we should use
- . We'll break each distinct requirement into its own
- . Might be many but okay.
Let's extract each requirement sentence/experience bullet:
From text after EXPERIENCE::

Capable of comprehending complex scientific concepts and translating them into clear, concise, appropriately referenced text that meets regulatory requirements.

We'll turn each line after a colon or bullet into
- . Might be many but okay.
Education section: "Masters (MS) or higher degree preferred; scientific focus desirable. Evidence of medical writing career development desirable, e.g. European/American Medical Writers Association certificate, Editor in Life Sciences certificate, or relevant training through Drug Information Association."
We'll make
maybe? It's not a list but could be
. However instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Education is not a list but could be prose. We'll use
.
Workstyle: "Role may be conducted remotely unless you live within 100 miles of our Headquarters in San Rafael, California or 2nd site in Novato, California. If you do then role reverts to hybrid requiring an onsite presence 2x weekly. Note: This description is not intended to be all-inclusive, or a limitation of the duties of the position. It is intended to describe the general nature of the job that may include other duties as assumed or assigned."
We'll make
for that. Could be considered Schedule? But we can treat as Schedule section? The instruction says use
for section headings like Schedule. We have content about remote/hybrid, which is schedule/workstyle. We'll make heading Schedule and put that paragraph.
Now we need to omit boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove.
