We need to output only HTML fragment, using for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about ACS, BrightEdge, mission. Could be "About the role" maybe includes description of role and organization.
- The Venture Fellow supports BrightEdge’s investment and innovation activities by conducting diligence on prospective portfolio companies and contributing to informed investment decisions. Fellows are responsible for developing landscape analyses, evaluating scientific and clinical data, assessing intellectual property and competitive positioning, and building market insights to support opportunity evaluation. The role may include identifying and engaging with subject matter experts, clinicians, researchers, and key opinion leaders to inform both diligence and strategic perspectives. The Venture Fellow will be responsible for synthesizing findings into clear, concise materials and presenting recommendations to the BrightEdge team. In addition to investment-related work, Fellows will support the execution of BrightEdge innovation programming, including preparation of materials, coordination of activities, and engagement with founders and external stakeholders. Outside of project-specific work, Fellows will participate in regular diligence discussions, pipeline reviews, and investment meetings, gaining exposure to venture decision-making processes and building familiarity with emerging startups across life sciences and healthcare.
- Strong analytical skills, clear communication, and the ability to translate complex scientific and market insights into actionable recommendations are essential for success in this role.
- This role will require 10 hours per week.
- ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: bullet points with percentages.
- EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS: Minimum Degree Required: Bachelor's Degree Preferred Degree: Choose an item. Actively pursuing an advanced degree (Master’s, PhD or MD or equivalent) in an oncology-related field or equivalent experience.
- KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITY: Deep technical background in life sciences and/or healthcare technologies with strong understanding of cancer biology. Business experience is a plus in startup or innovation setting (venture capital, business development, technology transfer, licensing, finance, operations, consulting). Self-starter and able to drive programming without much oversight. Flexible, comfortable with change and ambiguity; team player with low ego. Entrepreneurial drive and passion for biomedical innovation and its commercialization. Eager to learn—new topics, methods/approaches, and tools through self-learning, observation, resources, discussion with colleagues. Strong oral and written communication skills—reports and summaries; creating presentations. Analytical/evaluative thinker and excellent attention to detail.
- TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS: Minimal travel will be required (less than 5%)
- The starting rate is $35 to $40/hour. The final candidate's relevant experience/skills will be considered before an offer is extended. Actual starting pay will vary based on non-discriminatory factors including, but not limited to, geographic location, experience, skills, specialty, and education.
- ACS provides staff a generous paid time off policy; medical, dental, retirement benefits, wellness programs, and professional development programs to enhance staff skills. Further details on our benefits can be found on our careers site at: jobs.cancer.org/benefits.
- We are a proud equal opportunity employer. (remove EEO)
We need to produce sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must include only sections with real specific content.
Let's map:
- About the role: Could include description of organization, mission, role purpose. We have intro paragraphs about ACS, BrightEdge, mission, and role description. That seems appropriate.
- Responsibilities: Could be the essential functions bullet list (the 4 items with percentages). Also maybe the earlier description of duties (developing landscape analyses, etc.) but those are also responsibilities. We'll combine.
- Requirements: Might include travel requirement? Or maybe "Experience/Qualifications" is qualifications. Requirements could be things like "Minimum Degree Required: Bachelor's Degree" etc. But we have separate Qualifications and Skills sections. The instruction says use headings for: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to split content accordingly.
We need to decide what goes where.
Typically:
- About the role: overview of the role and organization.
- Responsibilities: duties and essential functions.
- Requirements: maybe minimum qualifications like degree, experience, etc.
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications, advanced degree, etc.
- Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Benefits: benefits description.
- Pay: salary/hourly rate.
- Schedule: hours per week, travel requirement maybe.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So if we have content for each, we include.
Let's extract:
About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing ACS, BrightEdge, mission, and the role purpose. Could be: "At the American Cancer Society, we're working to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Our employees and 1.3 million volunteers are raising the bar every single day. We are a culture comprised of diverse backgrounds and experience, to better serve our communities. The people who work at the American Cancer Society focus their diverse talents on our lifesaving mission. It is a calling. And the people who answer it are fulfilled. BrightEdge is the innovation, impact investment and venture capital arm of the American Cancer Society. We invest in for-profit, early-stage companies developing cutting-edge, cancer-focused therapeutics, diagnostics, devices, and technologies to fuel and accelerate ACS’s mission of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone. The Venture Fellow supports BrightEdge’s investment and innovation activities by conducting diligence on prospective portfolio companies and contributing to informed investment decisions."
That seems good.
Responsibilities: The essential functions bullet list (with percentages) plus maybe the earlier description of duties (developing landscape analyses, evaluating scientific and clinical data, assessing IP, building market insights, identifying and engaging with SMEs, synthesizing findings, presenting recommendations, supporting innovation programming, participating in diligence discussions, pipeline reviews, investment meetings). We'll combine into a

We'll combine into a - list.
Requirements: Minimum Degree Required: Bachelor's Degree. Also maybe "Actively pursuing an advanced degree (Master’s, PhD or MD or equivalent) in an oncology-related field or equivalent experience." That could be qualification though. But we can treat as requirement? The posting says "Minimum Degree Required: Bachelor's Degree Preferred Degree: Choose an item. Actively pursuing an advanced degree (Master’s, PhD or MD or equivalent) in an oncology-related field or equivalent experience." So we could put Bachelor's as requirement, advanced degree as qualification (preferred). We'll follow that.
Qualifications: Preferred degree (advanced degree) and maybe "Business experience is a plus in startup or innovation setting (venture capital, business development, technology transfer, licensing, finance, operations, consulting)." That seems more like skill/experience. But we can put under Qualifications.
Skills: The knowledge, skills, ability list: Deep technical background in life sciences and/or healthcare technologies with strong understanding of cancer biology. Business experience is a plus... Self-starter... Flexible... Entrepreneurial drive... Eager to learn... Strong oral and written communication skills... Analytical/evaluative thinker and excellent attention to detail.

Schedule: This role will require 10 hours per week. TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS: Minimal travel will be required (less than 5%). So schedule includes hours per week and travel.
