About the role

  • Define and Prioritize Technical Roadmap and Product Direction (30%)

  • Identify opportunities to modernize architecture, automate workflows, and introduce new modular platform capabilities that improve efficiency, scalability, extensibility, and flexibility in support of future innovation.
  • Use monitoring, analytics, and feedback to refine priorities and guide evidence-based roadmap decisions.
  • Lead experimentation and technical learning cycles so that innovative ideas are validated early and inform long-term platform direction.

  • Drive Iterative Product Development (50%)
  • Translate architecture goals and product strategy into a clear, iterative set of experiments and a delivery plan that delivers measurable improvements in stability, extensibility, and efficiency.
  • Continuously update and refine the delivery plan as new learnings emerge to keep engineering teams focused on the highest-value work that advances platform goals.
  • Lead technical pilots and develop proofs-of-concept to test emerging technologies, integrations, and infrastructure improvements — accelerating learning and reducing risk before scaling.
  • Define clear hypotheses and measurable success criteria so that requirements are clear, testable, and aligned with both architectural and business needs.
  • Collaborate daily with engineers, product teams, and internal stakeholders to clarify requirements, resolve dependencies, and ensure secure, high-quality delivery.
  • Communicate Value and Progress (20%)
  • Provide clear, outcome-focused updates that communicate measurable impact and insights, and demonstrate how technical delivery enables and advances College Board’s strategic goals.
  • Translate technical progress and requirements into business impact by clearly connecting platform investments to the value they create for users through secure, scalable, and reliable digital assessments.
  • Share documentation, release notes, and updates so that internal teams understand and can leverage new capabilities.
  • Lead demos and platform updates that inspire trust in the platform’s evolution and showcase measurable improvements in reliability, scalability, and innovation.

  • Technical fluency, with a strong understanding of back-end systems, APIs, data integrations, and platform architecture.
  • A proven ability to drive measurable business and user outcomes through discovery and delivery.
  • Experience collaborating closely with engineers, architects, and cross-functional stakeholders in complex technical environments.

  • Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple dependencies and priorities effectively.
  • Familiarity with AI-enabled tools, automation, or data workflows (preferred).
  • The ability to travel 5–7 times a year to College Board offices or on behalf of College Board business.
