Director, Strategic Impact Partnerships (SIP), Implementation – AP Access 

College Board – State & District Partnerships 

 Location: Remote.  

This is a Full Time role.  

About the Team:  

The State and District Partnerships (SDP) division at College Board is a dynamic and high-energy group dedicated to expanding opportunities for students by collaborating with educators in high schools, school districts, and state departments of education. Our team is committed to promoting the use of College Board programs and services, including the SAT Suite of Assessments, Advanced Placement (AP), and BigFuture. Our division is relentless in our pursuit of increasing the number of students who have access to these programs and ensuring our partners have the support they need to implement them effectively.   

Within SDP, the Strategic Impact Partnerships (SIP) team provides leadership across the organization and aligns with internal and external partners to drive strategy that delivers access to students and educators nationwide. As the engine of alignment and innovation within SDP, SIP translates organizational priorities into actionable strategies that drive adoption, retention, and growth across regions.  

As part of SIP, the new AP course portfolio plays a critical role in ensuring strong implementation and retention of AP courses. By supporting teachers, administrators, and districts, SIP ensures that courses such as AP Precalculus, English 10: AP Seminar, AP Business with Personal Finance, AP Cybersecurity, and AP African American Studies are delivered with fidelity, sustained at scale, and positioned for student success. 

About the Opportunity:   

As Director, Strategic Impact Partnerships – Implementation, AP Access, you will ensure retention and successful implementation of new AP courses— AP Precalculus, English 10: AP Seminar, AP Business with Personal Finance, AP Cybersecurity, and AP African American Studies.

Operating across SDP, you will provide dedicated resources at scale so that new AP courses not only launch but persist and grow year over year. A strategist and expert facilitator, you will translate organizational priorities into high-quality implementation experiences ensuring strong educator support leads directly to stronger student participation, sustained sections, and meaningful impact for schools and districts.
