We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove things like "Current Employees apply HERE", "Current Contingent Workers apply HERE", "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only", etc. Also remove EEO statements, accommodation, etc. Remove "Search Firm Representatives Please Read Carefully" etc. Remove "Employee Status Regular Relocation: No relocation VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 50% Flexible Work Arrangements Remote Shift Not Indicated Valid Driving License Yes Hazardous Material(s) n/a Job Posting End Date ..." etc. Also remove "A job posting is effective until ..." etc. We need to keep substantive info: description of role, responsibilities (Scientific Exchange, Research, Scientific Congress Support, Scientific Insights, Inclusive Mindset and Behavior), Required Location, travel up to 50%, Required Qualifications, Skills, & Experience list, Preferred Field-based medical experience (GYN Oncology experience strongly preferred), Research Experienced, Demonstrated record of scientific/medical publication, Required Skills list, Preferred Skills list (Current Employees apply HERE etc - but those are application instructions, remove). Also "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only" maybe location restriction? Actually location is MD, WV, VA, NC, Washington DC. The "US And Puerto Rico Residents Only" is a boilerplate; we should remove. Also "San Francisco Residents Only:" etc remove. Also "Los Angeles Residents Only:" remove. Also "Search Firm Representatives Please Read Carefully" remove. Also "Employee Status Regular Relocation: No relocation VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 50% Flexible Work Arrangements Remote Shift Not Indicated Valid Driving License Yes Hazardous Material(s) n/a Job Posting End Date 10/3/2026" - we may keep travel requirement (50%) but that's already in Required Location bullet. The rest is boilerplate. Pay: salary range $210,400.00 - $331,100.00, plus eligibility for annual bonus and long-term incentive. Benefits: comprehensive package: medical, dental, vision healthcare and other insurance (employee and family), retirement benefits including 401(k), paid holidays, vacation, compassionate and sick days. Also link to benefits page but we can keep description. Schedule: maybe not explicit; there is "Flexible Work Arrangements" but that's not schedule. There's "Travel Requirements 50%" but that's travel. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time. So we may not include Schedule section if no specific content. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated, Benefits stated, Schedule not stated (no mention of work hours, shift). So we omit Schedule. We need sections: About the role (maybe from first paragraph), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe location and travel?), Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Also maybe "Qualifications" separate from "Skills"? The posting has "Required Qualifications, Skills, & Experience" and then "Preferred Field-based medical experience..." and "Required Skills" and "Preferred Skills". We need to split into Qualifications and Skills sections. Use

for each. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we start with

About the role

then paragraph(s). Then

Responsibilities

with
  • for each duty. Then

    Requirements

    maybe location and travel? Could also include "Required Location: This role covers the US states of MD, WV, VA, NC, Washington DC Candidates must reside within the territory. Ability for travel up to 50% within the territory". That's a requirement. Then

    Qualifications

    with list of required qualifications (PhD, PharmD, DNP, DO, or MD; 3 years experience; ability to conduct doctoral-level discussions; dedication to scientific excellence; stakeholder management; comprehension of FDA etc; ability to organize; strong working knowledge of MS Office; familiarity with virtual meeting platforms; desire to contribute to inclusive environment; etc). Then

    Skills

    with required skills list and preferred skills list? Could separate required vs preferred but we can combine? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have required skills as list, preferred skills as list maybe under same heading? Could have two lists under Skills: Required Skills and Preferred Skills as subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond the allowed? The instruction only says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but better to stick to those. We could embed required and preferred skills as separate
        with preceding

        indicating required vs preferred. That's okay. Benefits: list of benefits. Pay: salary range and bonus eligibility. We must not include boilerplate like "Current Employees apply HERE", etc. We must preserve all substantive info: ensure we don't lose any detail like "Inclusive Mindset and Behavior Demonstrates eagerness to contribute to an environment of belonging and empowerment Leads by example and serves as a role model for creating, leading, and retaining workforce". That's part of responsibilities. Also "Required Location: This role covers the US states of MD, WV, VA, NC, Washington DCCandidates must reside within the territory.Ability for travel up to 50% within the territory". Need to format nicely. Also "Preferred Field-based medical experience (GYN Oncology experience strongly preferred)" and "Research Experienced Demonstrated record of scientific/medical publication #eligibleforERP". The "#eligibleforERP" maybe a tag; we can keep as part of text? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a tag indicating eligibility for employee referral program; maybe keep as part of qualifications? It's substantive? Might be considered metadata; but it's not boilerplate; it's a note about eligibility. I'd keep it as part of qualifications or skills? Probably part of qualifications: "Demonstrated record of scientific/medical publication #eligibleforERP". We'll keep the text. Also "Required Skills Gynecologic Oncology, Medical Affairs, Medical Knowledge, Oncology, Pharmaceutical Medical Affairs, Professional Networking, Scientific Communications, Scientific Research, Stakeholder Engagement". That's a list. Also "Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only". That's mostly application instructions and location boilerplate; we should remove. Actually "Preferred Skills" line seems misplaced; maybe they intended to list preferred skills but then inserted apply links. We'll ignore that line as it's mostly boilerplate. There's no actual preferred skills listed besides maybe "Field-based medical experience (GYN Oncology experience strongly preferred)" and "Research Experienced". Those are under qualifications. So we can ignore the Preferred Skills line. Thus Skills section will contain required skills list. Now let's craft HTML. We need to ensure no stray text outside tags. Output only HTML fragment. Let's draft:
