College Board – State & District Partnerships
Location: REMOTE, but must live in Kansas or Missouri
The MRO (Midwest Regional Office) K-12 team at College Board is a dynamic, high-energy team focused on expanding opportunity for students by partnering with educators in high schools, school districts, and state departments of education. We sit within State & District Partnerships (100+ staff), a highly engaged group that works to provide opportunities to students through promoting the use of College Board programs and services including assessments (SAT, PSAT, & AP), BigFuture and College Board Search.
As a Director of K-12, Strategic Account Manager, you are directly responsible for managing relationships with key stakeholders at schools, districts, states, and/or associations within an assigned territory. Your ability to build deep and meaningful relationships within this community plays a critical role in the region’s and the division’s ability to meet goals related to expanding access to College Board programs. When K-12 leaders in your territory have the information they need to select and implement College Board programs that will best serve their students, it’s because of your expertise, clear communication, ability to analyze and distill data, and skill to build strategic partnership plans that advance student success.
