Senior Manager, Research, SOM/Pediatrics

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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: maybe from Advertising Summary? The posting includes "Advertising Summary: Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine is a premier academic medical center located in the heart of Richmond. Accounting for almost half of VCU’s sponsored research, the School of Medicine is internationally recognized for patient care and education. Unit: School Of Medicine MBU Department: Pediatrics". That's about the role/unit. Could be "About the role". We'll include that. - Responsibilities: The "Duties & Responsibilities" and "Position Summary" and "Core Responsibilities". We'll combine into Responsibilities section. - Requirements/Qualifications: There's "Qualifications" with Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We'll put under Qualifications. - Skills: Might be extracted from qualifications: strong communication, organizational, project management, quantitative data management, proficient with MS Access, Excel, PowerPoint, financial record keeping, etc. Could be separate Skills section. But we can also include under Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for sections like Skills if there is content. We have skill-related info. Could create Skills section. - Benefits: There's a Benefits paragraph: "All full-time university staff are eligible for VCU’s robust benefits package that includes comprehensive health benefits, paid annual and holiday leave, generous tuition benefits, retirement planning and savings options, tax-deferred annuity and cash match programs, employee discounts, well-being resources, abundant opportunities for career development and advancement, and more." That's specific. So include Benefits. - Pay: Salary Range: "Commensurate with Experience ($100,000–$110,000)". That's specific numbers, though includes phrase "Commensurate with Experience". It's still specific range. According to rule: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state a range. So include Pay. - Schedule: There's "FLSA Exemption Status: Exempt Hours per Week: 40 Restricted Position: Yes ORP Eligible: Yes Flexible Work Arrangement: Hybrid". That's schedule info: hours per week 40, flexible work arrangement hybrid. So include Schedule. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience" as placeholder? Actually they said never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Pay, they gave a range with "Commensurate with Experience ($100,000–$110,000)". That's not just filler; it's a range. So okay. For Schedule, we have hours per week 40, flexible work arrangement hybrid. That's specific. Now we must not include duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide what to put as lists vs prose. Responsibilities: many sentences; could be a list of duties. We'll make

  • each duty. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; could be list. Skills: maybe list. Benefits: list of benefits. Pay: maybe a

    with the salary range. Schedule: maybe a

    with hours and flexible work arrangement. About the role: prose

    . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract details. About the role: "Advertising Summary: Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine is a premier academic medical center located in the heart of Richmond. Accounting for almost half of VCU’s sponsored research, the School of Medicine is internationally recognized for patient care and education. Unit: School Of Medicine MBU Department: Pediatrics". We'll turn into a paragraph. Responsibilities: Let's list each distinct duty from the "Position Summary" paragraph and "Core Responsibilities". We'll need to avoid duplication. Position Summary sentences: - The Research Manager provides strategic and operational leadership for the development and implementation of an interdepartmental pediatric genetic therapies clinical research program. - This position is responsible for establishing and optimizing research infrastructure across multiple pediatric departments and locations and for ensuring the effective, compliant, and financially sustainable conduct of a complex portfolio of clinical trials. - The Research Manager provides leadership and oversight to multidisciplinary clinical research staff, including Advanced Practice Providers, nurses, Clinical Research Coordinators, and Clinical Research Assistants, as applicable. - The position is responsible for developing staffing models, supporting recruitment and onboarding, establishing operational workflows, and providing supervision and performance management for assigned research staff. - The Research Manager oversees the day-to-day operational management of clinical trials, including study startup, activation, recruitment, enrollment, study conduct, closeout, sponsor reporting, data quality, and regulatory compliance. - The position will support international participant recruitment and coordinate patient and family navigation within the greater Richmond area. - In collaboration with the Executive Director of CHRI, the Research Manager will develop and implement a patient-family concierge service, initially piloted within the genetics program. - The position serves as a key operational partner to Principal Investigators throughout the study lifecycle, providing guidance and direct support related to study startup, staffing, regulatory requirements, operational workflows, financial feasibility, sponsor requirements, and study performance. - The Research Manager will regularly meet with Principal Investigators and study leadership to assess study progress, enrollment, staffing, financial performance, regulatory compliance, and operational needs. - The Research Manager is responsible for overseeing the financial and operational performance of the clinical trial portfolio.
