About the role

  • Own the success of College Board’s Test Mgmt. & Setup Application and serve as the single point of accountability for the product backlog
  • Set the strategic direction and define and maintain a product roadmap that reimagines core capabilities with a focus on usability and measurable outcomes
  • Define and deliver extensible platform capabilities that future-proof the product and enable modular, configurable functionality
  • Break down roadmap initiatives into feature-level OKRs/KPIs tied to user experience, platform reliability, and operational performance
  • Own and maintain a clear, actionable, and prioritized product backlog and lead agile delivery workflows (sprint planning, standups, demos, retros)
  • Build and test prototypes to validate assumptions early and write user stories with detailed acceptance criteria; validate delivery by accepting completed work and leading end-of-sprint reviews
  • Collaborate closely with design, engineering, QA, and Product Management to shorten feedback loops and accelerate delivery of high-value capabilities
  • Partner with QA and Design teams to define test cases and support user acceptance testing (UAT) for critical features
  • Lead user and market research to prioritize enhancements that reduce friction, increase adoption, and improve the test-day configuration experience
  • Serve as the go-to communicator of product progress—leading demos, drafting feature briefs, delivering updates, sharing release notes and training documentation
  • Engage directly with external partners to capture test day management requirements and influence the product roadmap
  • Measure success via backlog visibility, on-time delivery for Spring 2026 and beyond, reduction in known user pain points, and demonstrated improvement in test-day reliability, stability, or usability
