We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. First, there is a description about MERGE, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content accordingly. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's extract: - About the role: The posting includes description of role: "As our Qualitative Insight Director, you will…" then bullet-like paragraphs describing responsibilities. Also earlier: "Our Strategists are the achievers of insight..." etc. So we can put that under About the role or Responsibilities. The instruction says we can have multiple sections; we need to decide. Better to have:

About the role

with description of MERGE and role overview.

Responsibilities

with bullet list of duties.

Requirements

with qualifications: "5+ years experience moderating and delivering excellent client deliverables in a market research or agency setting", "Aligns with, Models, and Coaches our values: People, Commitment, Aspiration, Trustworthiness & Impact", "Willingness to travel and be flexible in scheduling to accommodate project needs", "Compliance in time-tracking", "Adhere with all Merge and client required training and guidelines for market research and healthcare industry regulations and laws. Specifically (but not limited to) Pharmacovigilance (PV) and Healthcare Providers (HCPs) processes and reporting, Ethics, Confidentiality, Data Privacy / Security and Harassment". Also maybe "Ability. Mastering our craft Agility. Delivering with a growth mindset Humility. Collaborating for shared success" but that's values.

Qualifications

maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can combine. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they gave separate possible headings. We need to decide based on content. We have: - Experience: 5+ years moderating and delivering excellent client deliverables in market research or agency setting. - Values alignment. - Travel willingness. - Time-tracking compliance. - Adherence to training and guidelines (PV, HCPs, ethics, confidentiality, data privacy/security, harassment). - Also maybe "Ability. Mastering our craft Agility. Delivering with a growth mindset Humility. Collaborating for shared success" is values again. - Also earlier: "They are able to make 99% of decisions related to design, execution, analysis and deliverables on their projects." That's more responsibility. - "They have developed expertise in translating research findings into strategy..." - "They are developing a repertoire of frameworks, constructs, tools, and approaches to deepen their strategic expertise." These could be under Responsibilities or Qualifications. Better to have:

About the role

: description of MERGE and role overview.

Responsibilities

: bullet list of duties (project management, study design, moderation, analysis, reporting, client relationships, leadership).

Requirements & Qualifications

: maybe combine into one section titled "Requirements". But we need to follow headings list; we could use

Requirements

and include both experience and qualifications.

Benefits

: The posting mentions benefits: "MERGE is proud to invest in benefits that include meaningful Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, 401K, Lifestyle Spending Account, Employer Paid Life & Disability Insurance, Flexible Time off & Holidays plus many other benefits and rewards."

Pay

: salary range $114,400 - $167,800.

Schedule

: Not explicitly mentioned; there is mention of willingness to travel and be flexible in scheduling, but no specific schedule. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state specific schedule (like full-time, hours). So omit Schedule. Also need to include maybe "About the company" but we used About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, visa sponsorship line, etc. Also remove "Applicants for employment in the US must have work authorization that does not now or in the future require sponsorship of a visa for employment authorization in the United States." That's boilerplate (visa). Remove. Also remove "MERGE is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. Also remove "And here’s how we live our values at MERGE Ability. Mastering our craftAgility. Delivering with a growth mindsetHumility. Collaborating for shared success" maybe that's values but could be part of Requirements? It's a bit redundant with values. Might keep as part of Requirements. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can include values as part of Requirements. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

But we need to avoid duplication; the "As our Qualitative Insight Director, you will…" leads into responsibilities. Maybe we keep that as part of About the role intro.
