Senior Director, Cell Therapy Product Leader
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro paragraph about BMS purpose, etc). Responsibilities: there is a "Key Responsibilities" list. Requirements/Qualifications: there is "Qualifications & Experience". Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications but we can combine? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including experience), Benefits, Pay. Schedule not mentioned, so omit. Skills maybe not separate; we could embed within Qualifications. But we need to follow headings list; we can omit Skills if no specific content. Benefits: there is a Benefits section. Pay: there is Compensation Overview with ranges. So include Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the intro paragraph about BMS purpose, the role description, responsibilities list, qualifications list, benefits description, pay ranges.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to ensure we don't include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine the introductory paragraphs up to "This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it." plus maybe the description of role purpose? Actually the role description starts after that: "The Senior Director, Cell Therapy Product Leader (CTPL) serves as the single point of accountability..." That could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. But we have a separate Responsibilities section later with "Key Responsibilities". So About the role could be the introductory paragraph about BMS and the role overview before responsibilities. Let's extract:
"At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it."
Then maybe also include a brief summary of the role: "The Senior Director, Cell Therapy Product Leader (CTPL) serves as the single point of accountability for product strategy across the Cell Therapy portfolio, establishing key product performance measures, setting long-range supply, network, and technology strategies, and ensuring execution across CT Operations functions. The role serves as a strategic partner to Cell Therapy Franchise, Development, Commercial, Clinical, and Global Supply Chain leaders to align strategic aspirations and deliver sustainable product and portfolio performance." That seems like role overview; could be part of About the role. But we might also put that in Responsibilities. However the Responsibilities section already has a list; we could keep the overview in About the role and then list responsibilities.
Thus About the role: two paragraphs: first about BMS culture, second about role overview.
Responsibilities: list from "Key Responsibilities" bullet points. We'll convert each line starting with a verb into
- . Ensure we keep all.
Qualifications & Experience: list of qualifications. We'll put under
Qualifications
maybe also include Experience. We'll use - .
Benefits: the Benefits paragraph. We'll put under
Benefits
with .
Pay: Compensation Overview with ranges. We'll put under
Pay
with containing the ranges.
We must not include Schedule.
We must not include any boilerplate like "BMSCART", "We hire for skills and capabilities..." maybe that's part of Qualifications? It's a statement encouraging apply; could be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? It's more of a note. Might be considered generic; but we can keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "BMSCART We hire for skills and capabilities..." is not exactly boilerplate but it's a note encouraging apply; could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but encourages. Safer to remove? It's not essential info about role. I'd remove it.
Also remove "Compensation Overview Devens - MA - US: $236,220 - $286,247 Madison - Giralda - NJ - US: $220,770 - $267,522 Princeton - NJ - US: $220,770 - $267,522 Seattle - WA: $242,850 - $294,281 The starting pay range(s) listed above is for full-time employees (FTE). You may also be eligible for additional discretionary incentive cash and stock opportunities. We determine starting pay thoughtfully – carefully considering the nature of the role, required skills, work location, schedule and the knowledge and experience you bring. Final compensation is guided by pay equity principles and applicable employment laws. Compensation programs are reviewed on an ongoing basis and may be adjusted over time to reflect evolving market factors, and individual, team or Company performance."
We need to keep the ranges and maybe note about FTE and discretionary incentive. That's substantive. We'll keep that.
Benefits: keep the paragraph about benefits, FTO, holidays, etc.
Now construct HTML.
