We need to output only HTML fragment, using items.
- Working Conditions: Work Schedule/Hours: occasional nonstandard work hours; Business Travel: moderate overnight/weekend travel up to 20%; This position has no direct reports and does not perform supervisory tasks. This could go under Schedule? Actually schedule/hours and travel maybe under Working Conditions but we only have headings: Schedule, Benefits, Pay, etc. There's no explicit "Working Conditions" heading allowed. We could put schedule info under Schedule heading, and maybe travel under Benefits? Not appropriate. The instruction: Use headings only from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have "What you should have:" which includes qualifications: advanced degree required, experience preferred, etc. That's Requirements/Qualifications/Skills.
We have "Core Competencies" which could be Skills.
We have "Pay Range:" which is Pay.
We have benefits description: "Real Chemistry offers a comprehensive benefit program..." That's Benefits.
We have schedule/hours and travel info: could go under Schedule (work schedule/hours) and maybe also under Benefits? Travel is not a benefit but maybe schedule. We'll put schedule info under Schedule heading.
We also have "Interview Process" etc - that's application instructions? Should be removed per instruction: remove application instructions. So we drop Interview Process.
Also "Real Chemistry is proud to be Great Place to Work® certified..." that's maybe benefits? Could be part of Benefits but it's more about culture. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's still promotional. Might be okay to keep as part of Benefits? But it's not a benefit per se. Might be considered fluff. Safer to drop? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly those. It's a statement about Great Place to Work certification. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep? It's substantive about benefits/culture. Could be included under Benefits as a note. But we already have benefits description. Might be okay to include.
We also have "Real Chemistry offers a comprehensive benefit program and perks, tailored to your region..." That's benefits.
We also have "At Real Chemistry, we believe we're at our best when we're connected..." That's about hybrid work arrangements. Could be under Schedule? It's about work arrangements. Might be considered schedule/flexibility. Could be included under Schedule.
We also have "Real Chemistry is an Equal Opportunity employer..." That's EEO boilerplate, must remove.
We have scam warning: must remove.
We have "Notice: Real Chemistry and its affiliates' names are being misused..." scam warning, remove.
We have "For employees located within a one-hour commute..." that's about work arrangement, could be schedule.
We have "While these guidelines reflect our current workplace model..." also schedule.
We have "If you require additional flexibility..." also schedule.
Thus we can consolidate schedule info under Schedule heading.
Now we need to decide which headings to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We may not need all; we can combine similar. For example, Requirements and Qualifications may overlap. We could put qualifications under Requirements, and skills under Skills. Or we could have Requirements (experience, education) and Skills (core competencies). Let's map:
- About the role: Position summary and intro about Real Chemistry.
- Responsibilities: What You'll Do list.
- Requirements: Education and experience requirements (advanced degree required, 3-5 years experience preferred, or 2-3 years experience required, etc). Also maybe "Experience with medical, legal, and regulatory reviews preferred". That's a requirement.
- Qualifications: Could be similar to Requirements; maybe we can skip Qualifications if we put everything under Requirements. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one heading? But headings are fixed list; we can choose to include only those with content. Could include Requirements and skip Qualifications if we think it's redundant. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can put qualifications under Requirements.
- Skills: Core Competencies list.
- Benefits: Benefits description.
- Pay: Pay range.
- Schedule: Work schedule/hours, travel, hybrid/remote expectations.
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID.
Now produce HTML fragment: use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About the role: The initial paragraph about Real Chemistry and the position summary? The "Position Summary" is basically about the role. So we can put that under About the role. - Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" bullet list (though it's a paragraph with many items separated by line breaks? Actually it's a long paragraph with multiple responsibilities separated by spaces? It seems like a run-on list. We need to extract each duty as list items. The text: "Develop core deliverables (eg, PowerPoint slides, manuscripts, video scripts, executive summaries) and ancillary materials (eg, participant handouts, moderator guides) for medical communication projects, including promotional/medical presentations, advisory board meetings, product theaters as well as various educational videos and digital solutions Perform and analyze literature searches and scientific research regarding clinical data and key scientific information for content development projects to meet client needs for relevant, up-to-date, evidenced-based, and accurate medical communication content Collaborate with the Medical Director, in partnership with Creative and Client Services, on medical storytelling, drawing upon client insights, landscape intelligence, and relevant evidence-based medical literature to provide informed and relevant strategic recommendations Partner with Presentation and Graphic Designers on various illustrations, animations, and creative applications of medical and scientific information As assigned, develop relationships and collaborate closely with clients and key opinion leaders to develop scientific content and execute medical communication strategy to communicate complex scientific information to medical professionals Conduct quality checks on all content-related materials, including annotated deliverables, to ensure scientific integrity and accuracy, and support Veeva submissions of all medical communication deliverables for client medical/legal/regulatory reviews by highlighting all relevant references and creating detailed reference notes Support project management within the cross-functional team by effectively communicating and aligning with Account and Project Managers, and actively participating in all internal and client meetings Train and mentor more junior medical writers under the guidance of the Medical Director Maintain full compliance with legal, regulatory, and corporate requirements as well as all applicable US laws and regulations Perform any other duties as reasonably assigned; duties and responsibilities may be removed, modified, or added by leadership at any time as business or operations warrant" We can split into separate
for each section heading, then content:
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About the role: Combine the initial paragraphs up to "Position Summary". Actually the posting starts with: "At Real Chemistry, making the world a healthier place isn’t just an aspiration—it’s our everyday reality.

This role requires working eastern US hours."
We need to keep all that. Note there is a stray "Experience ." maybe a typo; we keep as is.
We'll put that in
under About the role. Responsibilities: list each duty as
- . Let's break down the long paragraph into sensible items:
1. Develop core deliverables (e.g., PowerPoint slides, manuscripts, video scripts, executive summaries) and ancillary materials (e.g., participant handouts, moderator guides) for medical communication projects, including promotional/medical presentations, advisory board meetings, product theaters as well as various educational videos and digital solutions.
2. Perform and analyze literature searches and scientific research regarding clinical data and key scientific information for content development projects to meet client needs for relevant, up-to-date, evidence-based, and accurate medical communication content.

5. As assigned, develop relationships and collaborate closely with clients and key opinion leaders to develop scientific content and execute medical communication strategy to communicate complex scientific information to medical professionals.

9. Maintain full compliance with legal, regulatory, and corporate requirements as well as all applicable US laws and regulations.
10. Perform any other duties as reasonably assigned; duties and responsibilities may be removed, modified, or added by leadership at any time as business or operations warrant.
That seems comprehensive.
Now Requirements: Education and experience.
From "What you should have:":
- Advanced degree (e.g., MD, PhD, PharmD, MPH, MS) in a healthcare-related field required.
- Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in medical education, scientific research, or clinical practice/insights preferred, or 2-3 years of experience in medical education in a pharmaceutical company or medical communications agency required, with experience in promotional/medical communication to healthcare professionals preferred.
- Experience with medical, legal, and regulatory reviews preferred.
We could also include "Expert verbal and written communication skills in the field of medical science" maybe skill. But we can put under Skills.
We'll put Requirements as
- for each bullet. Now Skills: Core Competencies list. From "Core Competencies" paragraph: It's a paragraph describing competencies. We can break into bullet points: - Model corporate values—Best Together, Impact-Obsessed, Excellence Expected, Evolve Always, and Accountability With an “I”—in interactions with colleagues, clients, vendors, and HCPs as well as exercise impeccable professionalism and sound judgement when representing the agency. - Demonstrate strong work efficiency by managing time, meeting deadlines, and achieving billability expectations. - Display excellent interpersonal and communication skills as well as a high level
