We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only if content exists. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Sections: - Summary: This is an executive technology leader accountable for Pharming’s enterprise application strategy, governance, performance, and value realization across the company. The role ensures that Pharming’s core business applications enable scalable growth, operational excellence, regulatory compliance, data-driven decision-making, and business transformation. Acting as a strategic partner to the Executive leader of Digital Transformation & IT, Executive Committee, and senior business leaders, the person in this position translates business priorities into enterprise-wide application capabilities and ensures that technology investments deliver measurable business value. This role is responsible for shaping the future application landscape, simplifying complexity, strengthening operational resilience, and ensuring that critical platforms are secure, compliant, integrated, and fit for purpose in a global biopharmaceutical environment. This position is based in our Warren, NJ office with a hybrid schedule of 2-3 in office days per week. Thus we have About the role (summary). Also schedule info: hybrid schedule 2-3 in office days per week. So we can have a Schedule section. Responsibilities: list bullet points under headings: Enterprise applications strategy and governance, Business partnership, delivery and transformation, Compliance, risk, security, and resilience, Vendor, partner, and commercial management, Service excellence and continuous improvement, Leadership and capability development. We need to preserve all details. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each bullet under responsibilities should be
  • . Should we group by subheadings? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So only those top-level headings. Within Responsibilities we can have paragraphs or lists; we can include subheadings as plain text? Probably not as

    because they'd be extra headings not in allowed list. But we could still include them as or just plain text within

    . However we need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep the subheadings as part of

    text. Thus for Responsibilities we can have a

    intro then

      with each bullet as a line. But the bullet lines are long sentences; we can keep them as
    • items. Similarly Requirements: maybe not separate; they have Qualifications section. The posting includes Qualifications (bullet-like list). Also there is a "Who we are", "What it’s like to work here", "Salary range", "Compensation & benefits". So we need sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills? Not explicitly separate; qualifications include skills. Could combine skills into Qualifications. But we can still have Skills section if there is explicit skill list; but we can omit if not. We must not create sections with filler. So we will include only those with real content. Let's extract: About the role: the summary paragraph(s). Also mention location and hybrid schedule? Actually schedule is separate; we can keep location in About the role. Responsibilities: list of bullet points under each subheading. We'll capture each bullet as
    • . Might need to preserve the subheading text as part of the
    • or preceding

      . To preserve all info, we could include subheading as inside

    • . Eg:
    • Enterprise applications strategy and governance: Define and execute ...
    • . That preserves. Similarly for each. Qualifications: list of bullet points (some are sentences). We'll do similar. Benefits: list from "Compensation & benefits". Items: Flexible hybrid work schedule..., Competitive compensation..., Long-term incentive..., 401(k) plan..., Paid Time Off..., 13 Company Holidays..., Excellent benefit plans..., Flexible spending accounts..., Company-provided life insurance..., Optional accident..., Tuition reimbursement..., Health and wellness program..., Choice of company provided mobile phone... Pay: Salary range: base salary range $240,000 to $300,000 per year. Schedule: hybrid schedule of 2-3 in office days per week. We also have location: Warren, NJ office. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not include any boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting didn't have explicit EEO but there is "Who we are" etc which we should keep as part of About the role? Actually "Who we are" and "What it’s like to work here" are descriptive about company; could be included in About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the company". But allowed headings only include those listed; we could put that info under About the role as extra paragraphs. It's substantive; we should preserve. Thus About the role will include summary + Who we are + What it’s like to work here. Let's craft HTML:
