We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary range, benefits description, travel requirements, flexible work arrangements, relocation, visa sponsorship, shift, etc. So we have Pay (salary range), Benefits (list), Schedule (maybe shift, travel, flexible work). Also maybe "Relocation: No relocation", "VISA Sponsorship No", "Travel Requirements 10%", "Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable", "Shift 1st - Day". Those are schedule-related.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe qualifications? The posting has "Qualifications Required:" and also "Required Skills & Experience". Could combine? But we need separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly.
We have:
- About the role: The first paragraph describing department and role purpose.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "In This Role, The Principal Medical Writer Is recognized as ..." etc. Those are responsibilities.
- Requirements: Possibly the "Qualifications Required:" (Bachelor’s degree or higher preferably... 5+ years...). Also maybe "Required Skills & Experience" list.
- Qualifications: Could be the "Preferred Skills & Experience" maybe? But we need differentiate. The posting has "Qualifications Required:" then "Required Skills & Experience". Then "Preferred Skills & Experience". Then "Clinical and Regulatory Medical Writer (MW): Experience independently preparing a various set of clinical regulatory documents..." then "Required Skills" list (Adaptability, Clinical Studies...). Then "Preferred Skills" list (Clinical Trials, Leadership...). This is messy.
We need to preserve all substantive info. We can combine similar items but must not lose detail. Perhaps we can have:
- Requirements: Bachelor’s degree or higher preferably in a health, scientific, or relevant discipline; 5+ years of relevant medical writing or industry experience.
- Qualifications: Experience managing complex writing projects in a deadline-driven environment and leading teams of medical writers and/or cross-functional team members; Ability to critically evaluate and interpret clinical data... etc. That seems like required skills/experience.
- Skills: Technical expertise in commonly used office applications... willingness to learn... plus the list of Required Skills (Adaptability, Clinical Studies...). Also Preferred Skills list.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's extract all distinct statements.
First, parse the posting:
Job Description paragraph: "The Clinical and Regulatory Strategic Communications (CRSC) department within Global Clinical Trial Operations (GCTO) creates and delivers high-quality regulated content in support of our development pipeline and enables data sharing for our customers. We are a strategic partner that ensures excellence and compliance with applicable laws while incorporating health literacy principles in the development of public-facing materials. The Principal Medical Writer, in partnership with a project lead, leverages strategic and scientific expertise to develop, author, edit, and lead the review of accurate, clear, and compliant clinical, regulatory, and/or public‑facing documents, across multiple programs and therapeutic areas, in support of the company portfolio."
Then "In This Role, The Principal Medical Writer Is recognized as a subject matter expert in the design, planning, authoring, editing, and review of accurate, clear, high-quality documents that reflect applicable medical writing best practices (e.g., lean writing, health literacy) and evolving regulatory requirements"
Then list of responsibilities (each starts with "Is recognized as a strong scientific contributor..." etc). Actually each bullet begins with a phrase: "Is recognized as a strong scientific contributor and collaborator on cross-functional teams and demonstrates an understanding of team and project leadership responsibilities", "Applies critical thinking, problem solving, and negotiation skills to implement innovative solutions to complex challenges across the medical writing scope of work (e.g., documents, content, processes, timelines, tools) while navigating project team dynamics", "Provides program oversight by keeping project leads and/or management informed and escalates, as needed, issues that could impact timelines, quality, or compliance", "Demonstrates expertise in medical writing-specific tools and technology platforms", "Leads initiatives to improve medical writing processes and standards; may serve as a resource for this work internally and externally, as appropriate", "Applies in-depth knowledge of clinical development, relevant regulations, disease areas, and company products. Demonstrates a developing understanding of the pharmaceutical industry beyond clinical research", "Provides scientific and operational mentorship, coaching and/or project oversight to support other medical writers", "May manage direct reports including workload, professional development, and performance management"
These are responsibilities.
Then "Qualifications Required: Bachelor’s degree or higher preferably in a health, scientific, or relevant discipline (e.g., life sciences, pharmacy, medicine, public health) 5+ years of relevant medical writing or industry experience"
Then "Required Skills & Experience Experience managing complex writing projects in a deadline-driven environment and leading teams of medical writers and/or cross-functional team membersAbility to critically evaluate and interpret clinical data clearly, objectively, and in accordance with regulatory requirements and industry guidelinesDemonstrated critical thinking and problem-solving capabilities, with an ability to innovate, influence, and drive changeDemonstrated effective leadership across organizational levels, including conflict resolution, negotiation, navigating teams through ambiguity, and decision makingExcellent oral and written communication and presentation skillsTechnical expertise in commonly used office applications (e.g., Microsoft Office Suite) shared document systems (e.g., SharePoint) and willingness to learn and adapt to emerging technology"
Note there is no punctuation between items; but we can split.
Then "Preferred Skills & Experience Clinical and Regulatory Medical Writer (MW): Experience independently preparing a various set of clinical regulatory documents (e.g., protocols, clinical study reports, clinical submission documents) in accordance with regulatory requirements and industry guidelines."
Then "clinicaltrialjobs" (maybe a tag, ignore).
Then "Required Skills Adaptability, Clinical Studies, Clinical Trials Operations, Data Analysis, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Health Literacy, Medical Writing, Project Management, Regulatory Compliance, Stakeholder Alignment, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), Strategic Thinking"
Then "Preferred Skills Clinical Trials, Leadership, Regulatory Submissions, Technical Knowledge"
Then "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE" (application instructions, remove).
Then "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only" (maybe location restriction, but we can drop as boilerplate? It's location-specific but not salary/benefits. Might be considered metadata; but we can drop as it's not substantive about role? Might be considered location requirement. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Location restriction maybe not boilerplate but could be considered metadata. However we are told to preserve ALL substantive information. Location restriction is substantive for eligibility. But we might keep as a short paragraph under maybe "Requirements"? But we have no heading for location. Could incorporate into a short p under maybe "Requirements" or "About the role". However the instruction says do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location restriction could be considered minor metadata. Might drop? But it's substantive for US and Puerto Rico residents only. Might be considered eligibility. I'd keep it as a short p under maybe "Requirements" or a separate "Eligibility" but not a heading. Since we only have allowed headings list, we could add a p under "Requirements" or "About the role". I'd add a p under "Requirements" after the qualifications.
Then "Our company is committed to inclusion..." that's EEO boilerplate, remove.
Then "As an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer..." remove.
Then "As a federal contractor..." remove.
Then "For more information about personal rights..." remove.
Then "We are proud to be a company..." remove.
Then "Learn more about your rights..." remove.
Then "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 offer a comprehensive package of benefits.

More information about benefits is available at https://jobs.merck.com/us/en/compensation-and-benefits."
Then "You can apply for this role through https://jobs.merck.com/us/en (or via the Workday Jobs Hub if you are a current employee). The application deadline for this position is stated on this posting." Remove application instructions.
Then location-specific statements: "San Francisco Residents Only: We will consider qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records for employment in compliance with the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance Los Angeles Residents Only: We will consider for employment all qualified applicants, including those with criminal histories, in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable state and local laws, including the City of Los Angeles’ Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance Search Firm Representatives Please Read Carefully Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA, also known as Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, Rahway, NJ, USA, does not accept unsolicited assistance from search firms for employment opportunities.

Employee Status Regular Relocation: No relocation VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 10% Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable Shift 1st - Day Valid Driving License No Hazardous Material(s) N/A Job Posting End Date 09/26/2026 A job posting is effective until 11:59:59PM on the day BEFORE the listed job posting end date. Please ensure you apply to a job posting no later than the day BEFORE the job posting end date. Requisition ID:R418208"
We need to keep substantive info: Relocation, Visa sponsorship, Travel requirements, Flexible work arrangements, Shift, maybe job posting end date? That's metadata but could be considered schedule? The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. For Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections, only if posting actually states them. So we have Pay (salary range). Benefits (list). Schedule (shift, travel, flexible work, relocation, visa). We can include those details under Schedule heading as a list.
We should not include job posting end date or requisition ID as headings; we can drop them or fold into a short p. Probably drop as minor metadata.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
About the role: first paragraph(s) describing department and role purpose.
Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties (the "In This Role..." list). We'll output
