We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Summary, Job Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. Also schedule: Hybrid schedule with at least 3 days per week in NY office. So we need a Schedule section. Pay not mentioned, so omit. Benefits present. Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, etc. So we need to strip those parts: The long paragraph about Sony corporation, the "To learn more: www.sony.com/en." maybe keep? It's part of description but not a section heading. It's prose; we can include in About the role? Actually Position Summary is like About the role. We'll create sections: About the role (from Position Summary). Responsibilities (Job Responsibilities). Qualifications. Benefits. Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from those sections. We need to format responsibilities as list items (

    • ). Similarly qualifications as list. Benefits as list. Schedule maybe just a

      stating hybrid schedule. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to ensure we don't include the boilerplate like "All qualified applicants will receive consideration..." etc. That's EEO; remove. Also disability accommodation, fraud warning, Right to Work, E-Verify. Remove. Also remove "We are committed to creating an inclusive employee experience..." maybe part of benefits? Actually that's a statement about inclusive experience; could be considered part of benefits? It's not a benefit per se but it's a statement. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a value statement. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This statement is not exactly EEO but it's about inclusive experience; could be considered part of benefits? It's not a benefit; it's a statement. Might be okay to keep? Safer to keep as part of Benefits? But it's not a benefit. Could be placed in About the role? Might be considered filler. I'd keep it as a paragraph under Benefits? Actually it's before Benefits heading. It says: "We are committed to creating an inclusive employee experience for you to thrive as part of Sony’s purpose to “fill the world with emotion through the power of creativity and technology.”" That's a value statement; could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to keep as a paragraph under About the role. But it's not about the role. I'd keep it as a separate paragraph maybe under About the role? However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include it in About the role as a paragraph. We'll need to extract the Position Summary text: "Sony Corporation of America (SCA) is seeking a Senior Manager, AI Accelerator Business Partner to serve as a strategic enterprise partner and connector across functions, helping departments and leaders identify, prioritize, and address complex business challenges through AI-enabled solutions. This role operates as a strategic advisor and co-driver of AI-enabled business transformation, providing leadership across a portfolio of cross-functional AI initiatives from discovery through implementation and scale.

That's the Position Summary. We'll put that in About the role as paragraphs (maybe multiple

      sentences). Could combine into one

      but better to keep as multiple paragraphs? The instruction: use

      for prose. Could split sentences into separate

      but not required. We'll keep as a few

      blocks. Job Responsibilities: list each bullet. Need to capture all bullet points: - Business partnership and problem discovery: Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to senior and executive leaders across functions, assessing business priorities, diagnosing complex pain points and workflow inefficiencies, and identifying high-value opportunities where AI can improve productivity, decision-making, employee experience, or business outcomes. - AI opportunity identification and prioritization: Lead the translation of business needs into a strategic portfolio of AI use cases; assess feasibility, business value, risk, organizational readiness, and interdependencies; and partner with senior leaders to recommend priorities, investment recommendations, and roadmaps based on enterprise impact, scalability, and resource requirements, including opportunities to redesign broader workflows. - Cross-functional leadership: Lead coordination and alignment across business stakeholders and AI, data, technology, privacy, security, legal, and change management partners, working through resolving competing priorities and dependencies to move initiatives from idea through pilot, implementation, and enterprise scale. - Use case development and implementation support: Lead the definition of business requirements, success metrics, process changes, and adoption plans for AI initiatives.

We'll put each as
    • . Benefits: list each bullet from "What we offer you:" and other programs. Benefits text: "Benefits: SCA offers benefits-eligible employees (generally regular employees scheduled to work 20 or more hours a week) a comprehensive benefits program that offers coverage and support for employees and their family’s physical, emotional, and financial well-being. What we offer you: - 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 - Basic and supplemental life insurance for employees as well as supplemental life insurance coverage for their spouses/domestic partners and children - Voluntary benefits such as group legal, identity theft protection, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance - Short-term & long-term disability plans - Up to 12 weeks of paid parental and caregiver leave - 401(k) Plan with pre-tax, Roth, and after-tax options and company match with immediate vesting - Education assistance and student loan programs - Other Programs: Flexible Work Arrangements, including hybrid work schedules - Time off to include vacation, paid holidays, sick leave, Summer Fridays (early release), and a winter break between Christmas and New Year’s Day (based on business needs) - Referral bonuses (subject to eligibility) - 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'll put each as
    • . Also note the introductory sentence about benefits-eligible employees could be a

      before the list. Schedule: "This position will be on a Hybrid schedule with at least 3 days per week in the New York, NY office." We'll put as

      under Schedule heading. We must not include any other sections like About the company (the initial Sony corporation description). That's boilerplate? It's descriptive of Sony but not about the role. Could be considered About the company; but instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not those. However it's not specific to the role; it's general company description. Might be considered filler? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include as About the role? But it's not about the role. Might be okay to include as a paragraph under About the role? However the Position Summary already covers role. The initial Sony description is generic; could be omitted as not substantive to the role. I'd omit it to keep focused. Also remove "To learn more: www.sony.com/en." That's navigation/link; remove. Also remove "Please also be advised that we never request personal identifying information..." etc. That's scam warning; remove. Also remove "Right to Work (English/Spanish) E-Verify Participation (English/Spanish)" etc. Now construct HTML. We'll start with

      About the role

      then

      ... maybe multiple

      for each sentence. Better to combine into one

      for readability but okay. We'll do:
