VP, Mergers & Acquisitions
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodations line? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The accommodations line is likely part of application instructions? It says "If you require any accommodations..." that's likely application instruction; we should remove it. Also remove "At Iterative Health, we’re actively working towards creating an environment..." that's EEO/diversity statement; remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting.
First paragraph: "Iterative Health is a healthcare technology and services company powering the acceleration of clinical research to transform patient outcomes.We built a leading performance-driven network of 100+ sites across the US, Europe, India, and Australia, conducting research directly in the communities where care is delivered across gastrointestinal, hepatology, obesity, and cardiology. By combining deep clinical trial expertise with cutting-edge AI, we connect sponsors' scientific ambitions with high-performing research teams that expedite and expand access to novel therapeutics for patients in need. Today, Iterative Health is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and New York City with 250+ employees world-wide."
That's about the company; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role description. But we have a description of the company; maybe we treat as "About the role" or "About the company"? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content accordingly.
We have: "The Vice President, M&A at Iterative Health will lead the evaluation, structuring, negotiation, and execution of strategic acquisitions and other inorganic growth opportunities. Partnering closely with the Chief Development Officer, executive leadership, and cross-functional teams, this leader will own the end-to-end transaction lifecycle, from market mapping and partial target sourcing through due diligence, closing, and post-acquisition integration. This individual will also help establish a disciplined, scalable M&A function that supports the company's long-term strategic and financial objectives, including opportunities to expand our clinical research site network through acquisitions and de novo development."
That's responsibilities.
Then "Where You’ll Drive Impact" with subheadings: M&A Strategy & Sourcing, Transaction Execution & Due Diligence, Site Expansion & Integration, Leadership & Executive Communication. Those are responsibilities/duties.
Then "What You Bring to the Team" with bullet-like paragraphs: Deep M&A expertise..., 8-10+ years..., Significant experience..., Demonstrated experience..., Strong understanding..., Deep knowledge..., Exceptional financial modeling..., Experience presenting..., Strong negotiation skills..., Results-oriented individual..., An engaging..., High-energy..., An individual whose honesty..., Proven ability..., Bachelor's degree required; MBA or other advanced degree preferred.
That's qualifications/requirements/skills.
Then "How We Work" describing culture: Collaborative and low-ego team environment, High ownership..., Fast-paced..., Open communication..., Mission-driven..., Comfortable navigating evolving business priorities... This could be part of "About the role" or maybe separate but not a standard heading; we could incorporate into a paragraph under "About the role" or maybe a separate section like "Culture". But only allowed headings list; we could put under "About the role" or maybe not create a new heading. Probably include as part of "About the role" description.
Then "Benefits That Support You" with list of benefits. That's Benefits section.
Then diversity statement and accommodations line to remove.
No explicit Pay or Schedule mentioned. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (maybe include company overview and How We Work), Responsibilities (maybe combine Where You’ll Drive Impact subpoints), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine What You Bring to the Team). Benefits.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to ensure we keep all details from the posting, except removed boilerplate.
Let's extract details precisely.
Company overview paragraph: "Iterative Health is a healthcare technology and services company powering the acceleration of clinical research to transform patient outcomes.We built a leading performance-driven network of 100+ sites across the US, Europe, India, and Australia, conducting research directly in the communities where care is delivered across gastrointestinal, hepatology, obesity, and cardiology. By combining deep clinical trial expertise with cutting-edge AI, we connect sponsors' scientific ambitions with high-performing research teams that expedite and expand access to novel therapeutics for patients in need. Today, Iterative Health is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and New York City with 250+ employees world-wide."
Note missing space after period before "We". We'll keep as is but maybe add space for readability? Should we preserve exactly? Probably keep as is but we can add a space for readability; but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; adding a space is not substantive; but we can keep original text; but it's okay to fix minor formatting? Safer to keep as is but maybe add a space after period to avoid run-on. However that changes text slightly. Might be okay but better to keep exactly. I'll keep as is but maybe add a space after each period for readability; but that is altering. I'd rather keep original but it's ugly. I think it's fine to add a space; it's not substantive. I'll add a space.
Now responsibilities: The paragraph after company overview: "The Vice President, M&A at Iterative Health will lead the evaluation, structuring, negotiation, and execution of strategic acquisitions and other inorganic growth opportunities. Partnering closely with the Chief Development Officer, executive leadership, and cross-functional teams, this leader will own the end-to-end transaction lifecycle, from market mapping and partial target sourcing through due diligence, closing, and post-acquisition integration. This individual will also help establish a disciplined, scalable M&A function that supports the company's long-term strategic and financial objectives, including opportunities to expand our clinical research site network through acquisitions and de novo development."
Then "Where You’ll Drive Impact" with subheadings and bullet-like paragraphs.
We need to turn those into a list under Responsibilities.
Let's extract each bullet:

Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
