Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of company and role. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections with real content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Keep substantive info. We need to parse content: Company description: "Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. Viatris is a global healthcare company..." This is about the company/role. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put company description under About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties after "Key responsibilities for this role include:" then bullet-like sentences separated by periods. Need to extract each responsibility as list items. Responsibilities list: - Provide technical support of tech transfer activities for existing products. - Review proposals/timelines, protocols, manufacturing documents, test results and reports for tech transfer projects. - Track project progress and provide timely updates to key stakeholders. - Manufacture experimental batches in support of tech transfer activities and provide support during the manufacture of tech transfer qualification batches. - Troubleshoot any problems that occur during tech transfer activities. - Prepare and review technical regulatory documents in support of tech transfer submissions. - Design formulations and processes for new products and manufacture development, optimization and scale-up batches for new products. - Keep current with all Federal guidelines, compendial requirements, technical innovations, and topics of current interest pertaining to projects. - Attend training sessions in order to maintain and increase skills and knowledge of cGMP’s and safety awareness. That's responsibilities. Requirements: The posting says "The minimum qualifications for this role are:" then a paragraph. Might be considered Requirements. Then later "Must possess strong writing..." etc. Those could be Skills. Also "Experience with generic drug development desirable." etc. We need to separate Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Typically: Requirements = minimum qualifications (education/experience). Qualifications = preferred qualifications (degrees, experience). Skills = abilities, technical skills. Let's parse: Minimum qualifications paragraph: "Minimum of a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) and 2-4 years of experience. A Bachelor's degree and 7 years of experience, a Master’s degree with 5 years of experience or a doctorate with 0-2 years’ experience preferably in the pharmaceutical industry or related scientific field is preferred. Degrees in Pharmaceutics, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry or related scientific fields are preferred. However, a combination of experience and/or education will be taken into consideration. Experience with generic drug development desirable. Demonstrates comprehensive understanding of solid oral dosage form development, process optimization and scale-up. Must understand the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Must have working knowledge of cGMPs, Standard Operating Procedures, FDA regulations and safety." That seems like a mix of minimum and preferred. Could treat as Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). But we have both. Then after that: "Must possess strong writing, communication, comprehension, interpretation, problem solving, team, critical thinking, and organization skills. Must possess the ability to use creativity to solve formulation problems and make sound decisions in manufacturing situations. Must possess excellent technical computer skills including MS Office Suite. Ability to read and interpret complex business and/or technical documents. Ability to write comprehensive reports and detailed business correspondence. Ability to work with managers or directors and communicate ambiguous concepts. Ability to present to groups across the organization. Ability to add, subtract, multiply, divide and perform statistical computations. Advanced mathematical skills preferred. Familiarity using formulas in Microsoft Excel preferred. Ability to solve problems with a variety of concrete variables through semi-standardized solutions that require some ingenuity and analysis. Ability to draw inferences and follow prescribed and detailed procedures to solve moderately complex problems." These are skills/abilities. Then physical requirements: "May be required to stand; walk; stoop; bend; kneel; and climb steps. May require use of hands and use of arms to lift and scoop. May be required to lift or maneuver boxes or containers using lifting equipment, as well as physically pushing, rolling or lifting. May be required to wear personal protective equipment including but not limited to: respiratory protection, safety glasses, hearing protection, safety shoes and protective clothing. Light to medium lifting requirements. Travel is required as needed. Laboratory, pilot and production plant, and office environments. Working alone or closely with others. The work environments can be described as laboratory to light manufacturing/pilot plant. Part of the work day may be spent in a typical office environment." These could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like Work Environment, but not in allowed headings. Could fold into Requirements or maybe Skills? Probably include under Requirements as they are job requirements. Benefits: At end: "At Viatris, we offer competitive salaries, benefits and an inclusive environment where you can use your experiences, perspectives and skills to help make an impact on the lives of others." That's benefits statement but vague. It mentions competitive salaries, benefits, inclusive environment. No specific details like health insurance, 401k. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "competitive salaries, benefits and an inclusive environment". That's somewhat vague but still states benefits. We could include a Benefits section with that sentence. However we must avoid filler like "competitive salaries" is okay? It's not placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's a statement. So we can include Benefits. Pay: Not specified specific numbers. The posting does not give pay range. So we should not create Pay section. Schedule: Not specified. So no Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We need to decide what goes into Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. Let's define: Requirements: Minimum qualifications (education/experience) and maybe physical requirements? But we can keep physical under Requirements as they are job requirements. Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (degrees, experience, generic drug development desirable, understanding of solid oral dosage form, pharmacokinetics, cGMP knowledge). Actually those are also in the minimum qualifications paragraph. Might be overlapping. Better: Use Requirements for the bullet list of minimum education/experience (Bachelor's + 2-4 years, etc). Qualifications for preferred qualifications (Bachelor's + 7 years, Master's +5 years, Doctorate 0-2 years, degrees in specific fields, experience with generic drug development desirable, understanding of solid oral dosage form, pharmacokinetics, cGMPs, SOPs, FDA regulations, safety). Skills for the abilities list (writing, communication, problem solving, technical computer skills, etc). Physical requirements and work environment could be under Requirements as well. Let's extract: Minimum qualifications bullet: "Minimum of a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) and 2-4 years of experience." That's a requirement. Preferred qualifications: "A Bachelor's degree and 7 years of experience, a Master’s degree with 5 years of experience or a doctorate with 0-2 years’ experience preferably in the pharmaceutical industry or related scientific field is preferred." That's preferred. "Degrees in Pharmaceutics, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry or related scientific fields are preferred." Preferred. "However, a combination of experience and/or education will be taken into consideration." Could be note. "Experience with generic drug development desirable." Preferred. "Demonstrates comprehensive understanding of solid oral dosage form development, process optimization and scale-up." Could be skill/qualification. "Must understand the pharmacokinetics of drugs." Skill/qualification. "Must have working knowledge of cGMPs, Standard Operating Procedures, FDA regulations and safety." Skill/qualification. Thus we can put those under Qualifications. Skills: the list of abilities (writing, communication, problem solving, technical computer skills, ability to read/interpret documents, write reports, work with managers, present, math skills, Excel formulas, solve problems, draw inferences, follow procedures). Also maybe "Must possess strong writing, communication, comprehension, interpretation, problem solving, team, critical thinking, and organization skills." etc. Physical requirements and work environment: Could be under Requirements as they are job requirements. Or we could add a separate section but not allowed. We'll include under Requirements as a bullet list. Benefits: sentence about competitive salaries, benefits, inclusive environment. Now craft HTML. We need

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We must not repeat job title. No extra. Let's construct. About the role: combine company description and maybe role impact sentence: "Every day, we rise to the challenge to make a difference and here’s how the Senior Formulation Scientist will make an impact:" That's prose. Could be included. Thus About the role

    containing that description. Responsibilities:

    • each. Requirements: We'll have

      for minimum education/experience note, then maybe

        for physical requirements and work environment. Qualifications:
          for preferred qualifications. Skills:
            for abilities. Benefits:

            for benefits statement. Make sure to preserve all substantive information. Do not omit any. Let's list all responsibilities items exactly as in text. Responsibilities items: 1. Provide technical support of tech transfer activities for existing products. 2. Review proposals/timelines, protocols, manufacturing documents, test results and reports for tech transfer projects. 3. Track project progress and provide timely updates to key stakeholders. 4. Manufacture experimental batches in support of tech transfer activities and provide support during the manufacture of tech transfer qualification batches. 5. Troubleshoot any problems that occur during tech transfer activities. 6. Prepare and review technical regulatory documents in support of tech transfer submissions. 7. Design formulations and processes for new products and manufacture development, optimization and scale-up batches for new products. 8. Keep current with all Federal guidelines, compendial requirements, technical innovations, and topics of current interest pertaining to projects. 9. Attend training sessions in order to maintain and increase skills and knowledge of cGMP’s and safety awareness. Check punctuation: some have periods at end; we can keep as is. Now Requirements: Minimum qualifications: "Minimum of a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) and 2-4 years of experience." Also maybe include "A Bachelor's degree and 7 years of experience, a Master’s degree with 5 years of experience or a doctorate with 0-2 years’ experience preferably in the pharmaceutical industry or related scientific field is preferred." That's actually preferred, but we already have Qualifications. We'll keep Requirements as the minimum: Bachelor's + 2-4 years. Also include "Experience with generic drug development desirable." That's preferred. But we might put that under Qualifications. Physical requirements and work environment: list items: - May be required to stand; walk; stoop; bend; kneel; and climb steps. - May require use of hands and use of arms to lift and scoop. - May be required to lift or maneuver boxes or containers using lifting equipment, as well as physically pushing, rolling or lifting. - May be required to wear personal protective equipment including but not limited to: respiratory protection, safety glasses, hearing protection, safety shoes and protective clothing. - Light to medium lifting requirements. - Travel is required as needed. - Laboratory, pilot and production plant, and office environments. - Working alone or closely with others. - The work environments can be described as laboratory to light manufacturing/pilot plant. - Part of the work day may be spent in a typical office environment. We'll put these as

            • under Requirements. Now Qualifications: list: - A Bachelor's degree and 7 years of experience, a Master’s degree with 5 years of experience or a doctorate with 0-2 years’ experience preferably in the pharmaceutical industry or related scientific field. - Degrees in Pharmaceutics, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry or related scientific fields are preferred. - Experience with generic drug development desirable. - Demonstrates comprehensive understanding of solid oral dosage form development, process optimization and scale-up.
