📋 Description

• Define and Prioritize Technical Roadmap and Product Direction (30%) • Establish and maintain a clear roadmap for your technical component so that the digital assessment platform continuously improves in reliability, scalability, and performance. • 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. • Align cross-functional teams and stakeholders around the roadmap so that priorities are executed cohesively and with maximum impact. • 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.
