Senior International Student Advisor
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove application instructions, EEO, etc. Also remove "JOB POSTED", "DEPARTMENT", "REPORTS TO", "CLASSIFICATION"? Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like department, reports to, classification maybe. But we need to preserve all substantive information. The metadata like department, reports to, classification are not substantive? They are somewhat minor but we could include them in a short paragraph. However they said "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with that info.
We must not create sections for Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. It does state compensation and schedule, so we include those sections.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (knowledge, skills and abilities), Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Benefits? Not present.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content.
Let's extract content:
Position Summary paragraph: "Under the direction of the Associate Director, the Senior International Student Advisor provides international students and exchange scholars across all disciplines with comprehensive immigration advisement, compliance management, and programmatic support. Serving as a Designated School Official (DSO) and Alternate Responsible Officer (ARO), this role issues SEVIS documentations (Form I-20 and DS-2019), processes employment authorizations (CPT, OPT, and STEM OPT Extensions), and ensures student compliance with U.S. federal regulations. Additionally, the Senior Advisor manages system integration and batch data exchanges between the Student Information System and Terra Dotta software, provides student intervention and referral support, and leads orientation events, workshops, and cultural programming for international student populations."
Duties and Responsibilities: list with subheadings: Immigration Advising & Compliance, Employment & Practical Training Authorization, Systems & Technical Administration, Student Retention, Guidance, & Support, Programming, Outreach, & General Administration. Each has bullet points (some are sentences). We need to output as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can flatten all duty items into a list, or keep subheadings? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid headings inside list? Probably better to have a
with each duty as - . Could also keep subheadings as
then list. But to be safe, we can make a
with each duty item as - . However we might lose grouping. But it's okay.

Physical Requirements Or Working Conditions: This includes location, schedule, remote work policy, physical demands. Some of this is schedule info (already covered). We might include location etc as a short paragraph. But we already have Schedule section. Location maybe not needed but could be included in a short paragraph under "About the role" or separate. However we should not create sections unless there is real specific content. Location is specific but not a heading we have defined. Could include in a short
after the position summary maybe.
We need to include Pay and Schedule sections.
Pay: $75,000 Annually.
Schedule: Full-Time, Hybrid (Three days on site, two days remote). Also note department standard working hours 9:00 - 5:00 pm ET, flexible to work overtime, evenings, weekends, holidays based on departmental needs or events. Remote Work Policy: While working remotely, employees must maintain standard office work hours, follow department tasks/procedures, and remain available through established communication tools (Google Chat, Slack, phone). Physical Demands and Work Environment: Primary duties are performed in a standard office environment, operating at a desk using computers and standard office equipment. Requires active participation in planning, setup, and execution of events, including occasionally lifting and moving supplies, materials, or light equipment (up to 15-20 lbs). Requires frequent travel across the SVA campus to attend meetings, coordinate on-site programs, and engage with students and staff.
We could include all that in Schedule section? Or maybe separate "Working Conditions" but not a defined heading. The instruction only mentions using
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only use those headings. So we put schedule info under Schedule heading. Pay under Pay heading. The rest of physical requirements maybe we can fold into Schedule or maybe not needed? But we should preserve all substantive information. The physical requirements are substantive. Where to put? Could be part of Schedule section as additional details. Or we could add a "Working Conditions" but not allowed heading. So we incorporate into Schedule
.
Thus Schedule
will contain: Full-Time, Hybrid (Three days on site, two days remote). Department standard working hours are 9:00 - 5:00 pm ET; flexible to work overtime, evenings, weekends, or holidays based on departmental needs or events. Remote Work Policy: While working remotely, employees must maintain standard office work hours, follow department tasks/procedures, and remain available through established communication tools (Google Chat, Slack, phone). Physical Demands and Work Environment: Primary duties are performed in a standard office environment, operating at a desk using computers and standard office equipment.

Requires frequent travel across the SVA campus to attend meetings, coordinate on-site programs, and engage with students and staff.
Location: 340 East 24th Street, New York, NY 10010. Could also be included in Schedule or maybe in About the role. We'll add to Schedule.
Now Benefits: not present, so omit.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment.
