About the Team  

The Learning and Assessment Division is a multidisciplinary group of experts who generate the evidence that drives and describes College Board’s impact.

About the Opportunity   

The VP, Academic Leadership Engagement will lead College Board’s national engagement with district senior instructional leaders, particularly district-level Chief Academic Officers (CAOs). This role anchors a new strategic effort to position College Board as a trusted partner to district leaders on high school coursework, instruction, assessment, career readiness and the implications of generative AI.  

This leader will bring deep credibility as a former district Chief Academic Officer or equivalent senior academic leader and will translate that experience into a coherent national strategy that leverages College Board data and research to design and facilitate training, convenings, and tools. The VP will serve as the public face of this work while ensuring tight integration with College Board’s Learning & Assessment, program and field-facing teams. 

In this role, you will:

• Partner closely with the School and District Partnerships Division, who own state and district relationships, to inform and shape CAO engagement strategies and resources.
