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 must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, AI recruitment, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Keep substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about Quotient Sciences (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role? The posting includes "The Role" paragraph. Also "Why Join Us". Could be "About the role" maybe includes company overview and why join? But we need to follow instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create sections: About the role (maybe includes company overview and why join?), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Skills And Experience Required essential criteria?), Qualifications (maybe desirable criteria?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits (maybe not present?), Pay (none), Schedule (maybe travel up to 50%?). The posting mentions "Remote, United States | Up to 50% travel | Full-time, exempt". That's schedule info (remote, travel, full-time). So we can include Schedule section with that. Pay: not mentioned, so omit. Benefits: not mentioned explicitly; there is "Learning opportunities You Will Have The Opportunity To ..." maybe could be considered benefits? But it's more about learning opportunities. Could be considered Benefits? The instruction: only include section if posting has real, specific content for it. Learning opportunities could be considered benefits but not explicit benefits like health, 401k. Might be okay to include as Benefits? But safer to omit Benefits if not explicit. However "Learning opportunities" could be considered a benefit. But the instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state learning opportunities, which is a benefit. So we could include Benefits with that content. But we also have "Why Join Us" which is more about culture. Could be part of About the role. Let's extract: About the role: company description and why join? The "Why Join Us" paragraph: "Because every day counts when bringing new medicines to patients. Our 1,000+ experts across the US, UK, and beyond are united by science, agility, and a culture that turns ideas into impact—fast." That's about company culture. Could be placed under About the role. Responsibilities: list under "Key Responsibilities". That's a bullet list (though not formatted as bullet but sentences separated by periods). We need to convert to
  • . We'll extract each responsibility sentence. Responsibilities list: - Develop and execute a sales and territory strategy aligned with company revenue and growth objectives. - Identify, qualify and secure new business opportunities across drug product development and manufacturing services. - Build and maintain senior-level relationships with pharmaceutical and biotech clients. - Manage the complete sales process, from initial engagement and opportunity qualification through proposal, negotiation and contract execution. - Achieve agreed sales, revenue and territory objectives while maintaining commercially appropriate project margins. - Work with technical and operational teams to develop solutions that meet client requirements and can be delivered successfully. - Lead the preparation, review and presentation of proposals, work orders, change controls and commercial amendments. - Establish appropriate pricing, billing milestones and invoicing arrangements in partnership with Finance. - Manage and grow existing client relationships, identifying opportunities to expand into additional services and programs. - Maintain accurate opportunity, account and pipeline information within Salesforce or an equivalent CRM platform. - Partner with Marketing to support campaigns, events, conferences and other business development activities. - Coordinate the commercial handover and project kickoff process, ensuring client expectations, project scope and delivery timelines are clearly communicated. - Support project teams in delivering a positive and responsive client experience. - Remain informed about pharmaceutical industry developments, competitor activity and emerging market opportunities. - Represent Quotient Sciences at client meetings, trade shows and industry events. - Operate in accordance with applicable GMP requirements, company procedures and relevant federal and state regulations. That's many. Requirements: maybe "Skills And Experience Required Essential criteria" and "Desirable criteria". Could split: Requirements = essential criteria; Qualifications = desirable criteria? Or Requirements = essential criteria, Qualifications = desirable criteria. We'll follow that. Essential criteria list: - Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, business or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience. - Significant relevant experience in business development, sales or commercial account management. - Experience working within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, CDMO or contract pharmaceutical services industry. - Demonstrated success generating new business, developing sales pipelines and securing complex client programs. - Strong understanding of the pharmaceutical drug development lifecycle and drug product services. - Experience developing proposals, negotiating commercial terms and managing opportunities through to contract execution. - Ability to interpret technical and commercial information, including requests for proposals, analytical methods, formulation reports and statements of work. - Strong commercial judgment, including the ability to evaluate pricing, margins, billing milestones and project requirements. - Excellent written, presentation, influencing and relationship-management skills. - Ability to work effectively with clients, technical specialists, operational leaders and senior stakeholders. - Experience using Salesforce or a comparable CRM system. - Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy, responsiveness and attention to detail. - Ability and willingness to travel up to 50%. Desirable criteria list: - Established relationships within the US pharmaceutical or biotechnology market. - Experience selling formulation development, clinical manufacturing or commercial manufacturing services. - Experience managing complex, long-term CDMO client relationships. - Knowledge of GMP requirements and applicable FDA, EPA, OSHA or DEA regulations. - Experience collaborating with laboratory, formulation, manufacturing and project management teams. We could put essential under Requirements, desirable under Qualifications. Skills: maybe combine some skill statements? But we already have skills in essential criteria. Could create a Skills section summarizing skill-based items: e.g., "Strong commercial judgment, excellent written/presentation/influencing/relationship-management skills, ability to interpret technical/commercial info, ability to work effectively with stakeholders, ability to manage multiple priorities." But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we create a Skills section, we need to include the skill statements exactly as they appear, not summarizing. Could extract skill-specific sentences from essential criteria: "Strong commercial judgment, including the ability to evaluate pricing, margins, billing milestones and project requirements." "Excellent written, presentation, influencing and relationship-management skills." "Ability to interpret technical and commercial information, including requests for proposals, analytical methods, formulation reports and statements of work." "Ability to work effectively with clients, technical specialists, operational leaders and senior stakeholders." "Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy, responsiveness and attention to detail." Those are skill-like. We could put them in Skills section. But we must not duplicate content; if we put them also in Requirements, that would duplicate. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid duplication? It says preserve all substantive information; we could include them in both sections but that would be duplication but still preserving. However better to split: Requirements = education and experience; Qualifications = desirable; Skills = skill statements. That way we keep all info. Let's extract skill statements exactly: - Strong commercial judgment, including the ability to evaluate pricing, margins, billing milestones and project requirements. - Excellent written, presentation, influencing and relationship-management skills. - Ability to interpret technical and commercial information, including requests for proposals, analytical methods, formulation reports and statements of work. - Ability to work effectively with clients, technical specialists, operational leaders and senior stakeholders. - Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy, responsiveness and attention to detail. Also maybe "Ability and willingness to travel up to 50%" is more of a requirement (travel). Could be in Requirements. Now Benefits: we have "Learning opportunities You Will Have The Opportunity To ..." list: - Broaden your knowledge of integrated drug development and manufacturing services. - Work directly with senior scientific, operational and commercial leaders. - Develop your expertise in complex CDMO sales and strategic account growth. - Strengthen your commercial leadership, negotiation and territory-planning capabilities. - Build your profile across the US pharmaceutical and biotechnology market. - Influence long-term client partnerships and the future growth of Quotient Sciences’ drug product services. We'll put those under Benefits. Schedule: we have "Remote, United States | Up to 50% travel | Full-time, exempt". So schedule: Remote position, up to 50% travel, full-time exempt. We'll put that under Schedule. Now About the role: combine company description and why join us. Company description: "Quotient Sciences is a leading drug development and manufacturing accelerator, helping biotech and pharma companies bring new medicines to patients faster. With over 35 years of experience and a track record of success, we provide Drug Product (CDMO) and Clinical (CRO) services across the entire development pathway, including formulation development, clinical pharmacology, clinical trials, and commercial product manufacturing. Our proprietary and disruptive platform – “Translational Pharmaceutics®” – integrates Drug Product Manufacturing and Clinical Testing to eliminate silos in the drug development process. This in turn reduces costs, improves outcomes, and significantly accelerates drug development times." Why Join Us: "Because every day counts when bringing new medicines to patients. Our 1,000+ experts across the US, UK, and beyond are united by science, agility, and a culture that turns ideas into impact—fast." We'll combine into About the role section as paragraphs. Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, AI recruitment, application requirements, diversity, etc. So we omit those. Now produce HTML fragment with

    headings and appropriate

    or

    • . We need to ensure we don't include empty sections. Let's craft:
