Staff Attorney, AI Governance
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Right to Work, E-Verify etc. Also remove disability accommodation? Might be considered boilerplate? It's about accommodation request; could be considered legal but maybe keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Disability accommodation is legal but maybe considered part of application instructions? It's about accommodation request; could be considered application instructions. Safer to remove. Also remove "We are committed to creating an inclusive employee experience..." maybe keep as part of Benefits? It's a statement; could be kept as prose under Benefits? Might be okay. But we should keep substantive info: Position Summary, Key Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to ensure we don't include headings with no content.
We'll produce something like:
Position Summary
...
Key Responsibilities
- ...
...
Required Qualifications
- ...
...
Preferred Qualifications
- ...

Benefits

maybe also list benefits as .
But we need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So benefits list should be
.
We have a long benefits list; we can put each bullet as - .
Pay: we have salary range and bonus target. Should be a section
Pay
with ... maybe also include bonus.
Schedule: hybrid work schedule details.
Let's extract content.
Position Summary paragraph: "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."
But schedule info is also in Position Summary; we might still include Schedule section separate. However we should not duplicate. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep schedule info somewhere. Could keep in Position Summary and also have Schedule section? That would duplicate. Better to keep schedule info in Schedule section and remove from Position Summary? But then we would lose some detail from Position Summary if we remove schedule sentence. However we could keep schedule sentence in Position Summary and also have Schedule section that repeats? That would be duplication. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplication. So we need to decide where to place schedule info. Probably better to have a Schedule section and remove schedule sentence from Position Summary to avoid duplication. But then Position Summary loses that detail; but we could keep it as part of Position Summary and not have Schedule section. However the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. It does not require us to have a Schedule section if we already covered schedule in Position Summary. But they gave example headings including Schedule. It's optional. We can decide to not have Schedule section if we already included schedule info elsewhere. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to combine schedule into Position Summary and not have separate Schedule section. But they also said "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That's just examples, not mandatory to include all. So we can omit Schedule if we already covered.
Similarly, About the role heading maybe not needed because we have Position Summary. Could use About the role as heading for Position Summary. But they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). About the role is not job title. Could use About the role heading for the summary. But they gave Position Summary in the posting; we could use About the role as heading. However they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use About the role for the summary. That seems appropriate.
Thus:
About the role

Then we can have Schedule section separate? But we removed schedule sentence from above. We need to include schedule info somewhere. Could add a Schedule section with that sentence.
Thus:

We need to split into sensible bullet points. Could keep as one paragraph? But instruction: Use
