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. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam warning, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must include Pay if posting states salary range. It does: "The anticipated annual base salary for this position is $170,000 to $200,000. In addition to the annual base salary, this role has an annual bonus target of 13%." So we can have Pay section with that info. Schedule: posting says "This position follows a hybrid work schedule, with employees in our Los Angeles, New York, and San Mateo offices expected to work onsite three days per week. Candidates based in Seattle, WA may be considered for a remote arrangement, subject to business needs and role requirements." So we can have Schedule section. Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph with details. So include Benefits section. About the role: The position summary paragraph could be used as About the role. It includes description of AI Governance Office etc. So we can have About the role. Responsibilities: there is a list of Key Responsibilities bullet points. We'll put those in
  • . Requirements: There's "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine as Requirements? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide mapping. Possibly "Requirements" for required qualifications, "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications, "Skills" for skill-based items? But we have many skill-like items in required qualifications: strong legal research, analytical, drafting, communication skills, judgment, attention to detail, problem-solving, ability to balance legal risk, project management, organizational capabilities. Those could go under Skills. However we must not invent sections if content is thin. We have enough for each. Let's parse: - About the role: Position Summary paragraph (first big paragraph after "Position Summary"). - Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities bullet list. - Requirements: Required Qualifications (J.D., bar membership, 3 years experience, experience advising on technology-related legal matters). Could also include "Experience advising on technology-related legal matters." That's a requirement. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Skills: Could extract from Required Qualifications: "Strong legal research, analytical, drafting, and communication skills. Strong judgment, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills. Ability to balance legal risk with business objectives. Strong project management and organizational capabilities." Also maybe from Preferred: "Ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously and coordinate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders across multiple businesses and jurisdictions." That's also skill. We'll put those under Skills. - Benefits: Benefits paragraph. - Pay: Salary range and bonus target. - Schedule: Hybrid work schedule description. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, disability accommodation, scam warning, Right to Work, etc. Also remove "We are committed to creating an inclusive employee experience..." maybe that's not boilerplate but it's a value statement; could be considered part of About the role? It's after Preferred Qualifications. Might be considered fluff but it's substantive? It's a statement about inclusive employee experience. Could be included in About the role or maybe omitted as not required. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep that statement if it's substantive. It's about inclusive employee experience. Could be placed under About the role or maybe a separate section? There's no heading for culture. Could include in About the role as additional sentence. Also "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 statement; we can keep. Also "SCA will consider qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records in accordance with applicable law." That's EEO/legal; we should remove as boilerplate? It's about hiring practice; might be considered EEO statement. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So remove that line. Also "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to any basis protected by applicable federal, state, or local law, ordinance, or regulation." Remove. Also disability accommodation paragraph: remove. Also scam warning paragraphs: remove. Also Right to Work etc: remove. Also "We are aware that unauthorized individuals..." remove. Also "Please also be advised that we never request personal identifying information..." remove. Also "If you have any doubts..." remove. Also "Right to Work (English/Spanish) E-Verify Participation (English/Spanish)" remove. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Structure:

    ... benefits paragraph (the long one).

    Pay

    The anticipated annual base salary for this position is $170,000 to $200,000. In addition to the annual base salary, this role has an annual bonus target of 13%.

    Schedule

    This position follows a hybrid work schedule, with employees in our Los Angeles, New York, and San Mateo offices expected to work onsite three days per week. Candidates based in Seattle, WA may be considered for a remote arrangement, subject to business needs and role requirements.

    Make sure no extra sections. Ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. Check that we didn't inadvertently include lines like "To learn more: www.sony.com/en." That's in the first paragraph before Position Summary. Should we include that? It's a link to learn more about Sony. Might be considered navigation? It's not a boilerplate but it's a link. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "To learn more: www.sony.com/en." is like a navigation link; could be considered navigation. Safer to remove it. Also the first sentence about Sony Corporation of America location etc is part of About the role? It's descriptive of Sony. Might be considered background but not directly about the role. However it's substantive info about the company. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that description. It's about Sony Corporation of America location and businesses. That is substantive. So include in About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph will combine: first paragraph describing Sony Corp of America location and businesses, plus Position Summary paragraph, plus inclusive employee experience statement. Let's craft About the role paragraph: Sony Corporation of America, located in New York, NY, is the U.S. headquarters of Sony Group Corporation, based in Tokyo, Japan. Sony's principal U.S. businesses include Sony Electronics Inc., Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC, Sony Music Entertainment, Sony Music Publishing and Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. With some 900 million Sony devices in hands and homes worldwide today, a vast array of Sony movies, television shows and music, and the PlayStation Network, Sony creates and delivers more entertainment experiences to more people than anyone else on earth. To learn more: www.sony.com/en. Position Summary Sony is seeking a Staff Attorney, AI Governance, to join the AI Governance Office, which is the headquarters department responsible for developing and operationalizing AI governance frameworks, policies, and assessment processes across Sony Group. Working closely with Legal, Privacy, Information Security, and business stakeholders, the attorney will help identify and mitigate legal and ethical risks, track public policy developments, prepare internal briefings, and contribute to global baselines and governance frameworks that address responsible innovation and adoption of AI-enabled products and services. The successful candidate will have a strong foundation in technology-related legal matters, particularly in areas such as copyright, consumer protection, product liability, or regulatory compliance. The attorney will provide practical legal guidance, conduct regulatory analysis, develop governance resources, support risk assessments, and help operationalize Sony’s global AI governance framework. This position follows a hybrid work schedule, with employees in our Los Angeles, New York, and San Mateo offices expected to work onsite three days per week. Candidates based in Seattle, WA may be considered for a remote arrangement, subject to business needs and role requirements. 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.” But note we already have Schedule section separate; we should not duplicate schedule info in About the role. So we should remove the schedule sentences from About the role to avoid duplication. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but we can't duplicate? It didn't forbid duplication but better to avoid repeating. We'll keep schedule info only in Schedule section. So About the role will exclude the hybrid schedule sentences. Thus About the role paragraph: first Sony description, Position Summary paragraph (excluding schedule sentence), plus inclusive employee experience statement. Let's extract Position Summary paragraph without schedule sentence: "Sony is seeking a Staff Attorney, AI Governance, to join the AI Governance Office, which is the headquarters department responsible for developing and operationalizing AI governance frameworks, policies, and assessment processes across Sony Group.
