Manager, Technical Program Management
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
Thus we need to parse the posting and extract sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay (salary range). Possibly also "Skills"? The posting includes qualifications list, responsibilities list, benefits list, salary range. Also there is mention of "Position Summary" etc. We'll treat that as part of About the role.
We need to remove boilerplate: lines about "We are committed to creating an inclusive employee experience..." is part of benefits? Actually it's a statement about inclusive experience; could be part of About the role or maybe we keep as prose. It's not boilerplate? It's a DEI statement; but it's not explicitly listed as EEO boilerplate? It says "We are committed to creating an inclusive employee experience for you to thrive as part of Sony’s purpose..." This is not exactly EEO but could be considered boilerplate. However it's not a legal disclaimer; it's a value statement. Might keep as part of About the role.
Also lines about "All qualified applicants will receive consideration..." is EEO boilerplate; remove.
Lines about "Disability Accommodation for Applicants to Sony Corporation of America..." is accommodation info; could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about accommodation; maybe keep? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Disability accommodation is not EEO but it's related to accommodation; might be considered boilerplate? Safer to remove? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Disability accommodation is legal; could be considered legal boilerplate. I'd remove it.
Also lines about "We are aware that unauthorized individuals..." is scam-warning boilerplate; remove.
Lines about "Right to Work (English/Spanish) E-Verify Participation (English/Spanish)" - remove.
Also "To learn more visit: www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/technology/stories/entries/sep_introduction/" - that's a link; maybe keep as part of About the role? It's a reference; could be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop as it's not substantive.
Now we need to structure.
We'll have sections:
About the role
Join the Sony Engagement Platform Services (SEPS) Team, where innovation meets collaboration in the dynamic world of digital engagement. At SEPS, we are building the next-generation platform that powers how fans connect with the content—and the creators—they love. Our mission is to unlock meaningful, data-driven engagement across Sony’s entertainment ecosystem, from games and anime to music, film, and live experiences—empowering both internal teams and external partners to build at scale. Our mission is to create a world-class engagement platform that not only enhances existing revenue streams but also drives new opportunities through a robust ecosystem of partners and creators. By decoupling application development from platform services, we empower our teams to deliver exceptional solutions with agility and efficiency. If you are passionate about shaping the future of digital engagement and want to be part of a vibrant community that values creativity and collaboration, we invite you to explore the exciting opportunities within our team. Together, we will shape the future of fan experiences and define the foundation for what’s possible in the realm of engagement.
Maybe also include the Position Summary paragraph: "Reporting to the Director of Technical Program Management, the Manager, Technical Program Management will lead a high-performing team of Technical Program Managers responsible for driving Engineering Programs. The Manager, Technical Program Management will oversee end-to-end program execution, fostering a productive and collaborative environment that scales team capabilities and drives operational excellence. This role plays a key part in ensuring seamless platform integration across Sony operating companies, while partnering closely with executive leadership on planning, strategic initiatives, and communications. The position requires close collaboration with global stakeholders, including business users, product managers, and cross-functional technical teams."
We can incorporate that into About the role as well.
Now Responsibilities: list bullet points.
We need to extract responsibilities:

- Drive successful execution of complex, cross-platform programs through effective planning, risk management, and stakeholder alignment across global business units and product teams.
- Execute and iterate on the team's vision, strategy, and roadmap, keeping initiatives focused, achievable, and value-driven.
- Champion continuous improvement in program management processes, tools, and delivery outcomes while fostering an inclusive, accountable, and collaborative culture.
- Operate with autonomy and ownership in a large, distributed environment, consistently delivering results amid complexity and ambiguity.
- Honesty, trustworthiness and ethical conduct are material requirements for the responsibilities outlined above
The last bullet is more of a requirement; but it's under responsibilities. We'll keep as bullet.
Now Qualifications: list bullet points.
Qualifications list:
- Overall experience of at least 6 years in the software development industry
- At least 2 years of people management experience, with experience managing a team of Technical Program Managers or program leads

- Experience working with globally distributed and cross-functional teams
- Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline or equivalent practical experience
- Prior experience improving or scaling program management processes, tooling, or team workflows is a plus
We could also include "Skills" but not needed.
Now Benefits: list bullet points.
Benefits list:
- Comprehensive medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision coverage with coverage for spouses/domestic partners and child dependents, including access to a Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Employee assistance plan and comprehensive behavioral health benefits
- Fertility benefits, including, surrogacy, and adoption assistance programs

- Matching gift program
- A wide variety of employee business resource groups (EBRGs)
- Special discounts on Sony products, offered exclusively to Sony employees
- Employee stock purchase plan (Sony covers commissions and fees for your Sony stock purchases made through after-tax payroll deductions)
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "Other Programs:" maybe keep as part of bullet.
Now Pay: The posting includes: "The anticipated annual base salary for this position is $175,000 to $195,000. This range does not include any other compensation components or other benefits that an individual may be eligible for. The actual base salary offered depends on a variety of factors, which may include as applicable, the qualifications of the individual applicant for the position, years of relevant experience, specific and unique skills, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and the location in which the applicant lives and/or from which they will be performing the job."
We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary range. So we include Pay
with a paragraph containing that info. We should not include filler like "commensurate with experience". It's specific numbers, so okay.
Schedule: Not mentioned; omit.
Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Also we need to remove duplicated lines: The posting had duplicate mission statement? It appears twice: "Our mission is to unlock meaningful, data-driven engagement..." and later "Our mission is to create a world-class engagement platform..." Both are substantive; we keep both.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft:
