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 need to parse the job description. The description includes: - Intro: "Sr Site Contracts Specialist assigned to client (remote in USA) Syneos Health® is a leading fully-integrated life sciences services organization..." This is about the company, maybe "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading and include description of role/company. - Job Responsibilities: a long list. So we need a

Responsibilities

with
  • items for each responsibility bullet. - Qualifications: includes BA/BS degree etc. Also "Advanced degree preferred", "Moderate contracts management experience...", etc. This is qualifications. - Skills: maybe separate from qualifications? The list includes many skill items: "Strong knowledge of the clinical development process...", "Strong computer skills...", etc. Could be under Skills heading. However the instruction says we can have Qualifications and Skills separate. We need to decide what belongs where. The posting includes a "Qualifications" paragraph that lists education, experience, etc. Then later there is a list of skill-like items: "Strong knowledge of the clinical development process and legal and contracting parameters", "Strong computer skills in Microsoft Office Suite", etc. Those could be considered Skills. We'll separate. - Benefits: The posting includes a paragraph: "At Syneos Health, we believe in providing an environment and culture... The benefits for this position may include a company car or car allowance, Health benefits to include Medical, Dental and Vision, Company match 401k, eligibility to participate in Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Eligibility to earn commissions/bonus based on company and individual performance, and flexible paid time off (PTO) and sick time. Because certain states and municipalities have regulated paid sick time requirements, eligibility for paid sick time may vary depending on where you work. Syneos complies with all applicable federal, state, and municipal paid sick time requirements." Thus we have benefits content. - Pay: The posting includes "Salary Range: $56,400.00 - $95,900.00 The base salary range represents the anticipated low and high of the Syneos Health range for this position. Actual salary will vary based on various factors such as the candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role." Thus we have Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's no schedule info (e.g., full-time, part-time, shift). So we should NOT include Schedule section. - Also there is additional boilerplate about EEO etc which we must remove. - Also there is "Additional Information" etc which we should drop. - Also there is "Summary Roles within the Site Start-Up/Site ID job family..." which seems like generic description maybe not specific to this role; but it's still part of posting. However it's somewhat generic; but we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. However we should avoid filler/placeholder text. This summary seems like generic description of the job family; might be considered substantive? It describes responsibilities of the role family. Could be included under About the role or Responsibilities? But it's somewhat redundant with responsibilities already listed. However we must not omit substantive info. We could incorporate it into About the role or Responsibilities. But we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep it, but we can rephrase? No, we must not summarize away detail; we should keep the text as is. However we can include it as a paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Additional Details". But we only allowed headings from the list; we could add it under About the role as prose. We need to avoid repeating the job title as a heading. The job title is "Sr Site Contracts Specialist". We should not put that as heading. We also need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; there aren't any. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Thus we will produce HTML with sections:

    But note that the "Why Syneos Health" paragraph is duplicated? Actually the text includes "Why Syneos Health" then a paragraph about developing people etc. We'll keep it. Then Responsibilities: we need to list each responsibility bullet. The responsibilities block is a long paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We need to split into list items. We'll extract each sentence that starts with a capital letter and ends with a period, but we need to preserve all detail. We'll create
    • for each responsibility. Let's parse the responsibilities block: "May lead multi-country projects including negotiating and preparing contracts, budgets, and related documents for participation in industry-sponsored clinical trials. Produces site-specific contracts from country clinical trial agreement (CTA) template. Reviews and owns site-specific contracts from country template.

We'll turn each line into
    • . Now Qualifications: The qualifications block: "BA/BS degree in Business Administration, Public Administration, Public Health, related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience. Advanced degree preferredModerate contracts management experience that includes experience in a contract research organization or pharmaceutical industryManagement experience preferredStrong knowledge of the clinical development process and legal and contracting parametersStrong computer skills in Microsoft Office SuiteCustomer focused and ability to manage challenging priorities and to remain flexible and adaptable in stressful situationsExcellent understanding of clinical trial process across Phases II-IV and ICH GCPGood understanding clinical protocols and associated study specificationsExcellent understanding of clinical trial start-up processesProject management experience in a fast-paced environmentGood vendor management skills Strong organizational skills with proven ability to handle multiple projectsExcellent communication, presentation and interpersonal skillsQuality-driven in all managed activitiesStrong negotiating skillsStrong problem-solving skillsAbility to mentor and motivate more junior staffDemonstrate an ability to provide quality feedback and guidance to peersContribute to a training and Quality assurance plan within SSU and update SOPs/WI" Note there is missing punctuation; but we need to preserve as is. We'll split into sentences? It's a run-on. We could keep as a paragraph

      with the text as is. But we might want to break into

      • for each qualification? The instruction: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is a list of requirements, so we should use
          • . So we need to split into items. However the text lacks clear delimiters. We could split by periods where present. There are some periods: after "experience." then "Advanced degree preferred" no period after? Actually "Advanced degree preferredModerate contracts management experience..." missing space and period. We'll need to infer items. Better to keep as a paragraph

            for qualifications? But instruction says use

            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is a list of requirements, so we should use list. However if the source doesn't have clear separation, we could still make each sentence as an item by adding periods where missing? But we must not invent detail. We could keep as a paragraph

              and still comply? The instruction: "Use

              • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". If we don't use list, we might violate. Safer to make a list by splitting on capital letters after a period? Might be messy. Alternative: treat the qualifications block as a paragraph

                and still satisfy? The instruction says "Use

                • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". If we don't, we might be considered not following instruction. However the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
