Product Manager/Associate Director, Disease Biology and PharmTox Product Line – Multimodal Integration and Biomarker Discovery

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real content. We need to parse the job description. First, location: "Boston/Cambridge ,NJ, PA" (maybe multiple locations). Should be included as metadata in a short

or drop it. Probably include a short paragraph with location. Job title is not to be repeated as heading. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should strip out things like "Current Employees apply HERE", "Current Contingent Workers apply HERE", "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only: ...", "As An Equal Employment Opportunity Employer...", "As a Federal Contractor...", "For More Information About Personal Rights...", "We are proud to be a company...", "Learn more about your rights...", "The fastest way to breakthrough innovation...", "Search Firm Representatives Please Read Carefully Merck & Co., Inc...." etc. Also remove salary range? Actually salary is Pay section; we should include Pay if posting states it. It does: "The salary range for this role is $142,400.00 - $224,100.00". So we need a Pay section with that info. 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." So we need Benefits section. Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule. About the role: The initial paragraphs describing the team, mission, etc. That is about the role. We'll put that in About the role section. Responsibilities: The "Primary Responsibilities:" bullet list. We'll put that in Responsibilities section with

• . Requirements: Might be skill sets? The posting has "Skill Sets:" and "Education Minimum Requirement:" and "Preferred Experience And Skills:" and "Required Skills:" and "Preferred Skills:" etc. We need to decide what goes into Requirements vs Qualifications vs 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. We have: - Skill Sets: list of experience and abilities (5+ years experience, strong understanding, proven experience, etc.) This could go under Requirements or Qualifications. - Education Minimum Requirement: M.A./M.S. with 3+ years, or B.A./B.S. with 5+ years of experience in a scientific or technical discipline such as biology, pharmaceutical sciences, bioinformatics, computer science, biostatistics, biomedical engineering, or chemistry. That's qualifications. - Preferred Experience And Skills: list of preferred experience. - Required Skills: list like Asset Management, Benefits Management, Management System Development, Product Management, Requirements Management, Stakeholder Relationship Management, Strategic Planning, System Designs. - Preferred Skills: "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE" but that's boilerplate; after that maybe nothing else? Actually after "Preferred Skills:" there is "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE". That seems like application instruction, not a skill. So we can ignore. Thus we need to decide sections: Could have Requirements (education + required skills), Qualifications (skill sets?), Skills (maybe preferred skills?). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into Requirements (education + required skills) and Qualifications (skill sets + preferred experience). Or we could have Requirements (education), Qualifications (skill sets), Skills (required/preferred skills). But we need to avoid filler. Given the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (combining education, required skills, skill sets), Benefits, Pay. That's 5 sections. But we also have "Preferred Experience And Skills" which could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll incorporate into Requirements. Thus sections: - About the role: description of team and mission. - Responsibilities: list of primary responsibilities. - Requirements: includes education minimum, skill sets, required skills, preferred experience and skills (maybe as bullet list). We'll need to preserve all substantive info. - Benefits: benefits description. - Pay: salary range. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include location as heading; we can put location in a short

  before sections or within About the role? Probably a short

  at top. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, location paragraph:

  Location: Boston/Cambridge, NJ, PA

  (note there is a stray space before NJ; we can clean). Then About the role:

  About the role

  then

  with the prose. We need to preserve all substantive information from the description about the role: The first paragraph after location: "Job Description: The Research and Development Sciences (RaDS) value team in our Company's R&D IT brings together product management, engineering, and data science expertise. We enable data, technology, and services that accelerate our scientists’ ability to discover and develop innovative medicines that change the course of human health. In the RaDS value team, the Product organization is responsible for implementing capabilities and associated services to advance the drug discovery and development pipeline. Our IT team operates as a business partner, proposing ideas and innovative solutions that enable new organizational capabilities. We collaborate internationally to deliver the services and solutions that help everyone to be more productive and enable innovation. We are seeking a Product Manager to join the RaDS Digital Solutions organization, reporting to the Lead of the Disease Biology & PharmTox Product Line. The successful candidate will partner closely with scientific stakeholders, product managers, engineers, data scientists, and cross-functional IT teams to define and deliver high-impact digital solutions that accelerate preclinical research and drug discovery. This role will drive product strategy, roadmap development, and execution across a portfolio of platforms that support experimental modalities, including high-content imaging, proteomics, genomics, spatial omics, phenotypic screening, and digital pathology. The product ecosystem is focused on enabling researchers to generate deeper biological insights, evaluate therapeutic candidates more effectively, and leverage scalable FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data and AI-ready capabilities across imaging, pathology, and multi-omics workflows. By delivering integrated digital solutions and scientific workflows, this team helps reduce time-to-insight, advance predictive and data-driven approaches to research, and streamline discovery and preclinical processes. These capabilities play a critical role in enabling faster, more informed decision-making and ultimately supporting the development of safer and more effective medicines." We need to keep that as prose. Possibly break into multiple

  but okay. Then Responsibilities:
