About the Team The Strategic Reach and Workforce Partnerships Team drives integrated career state plays; ensuring College Board is seen as a state's talent development advisor via partnerships across government, education agencies, employers, and workforce development partners. We aim to enable all College Board products, and especially AP Career Kickstart courses, to thrive and both students and states see a broader set of future options for ALL students. About the Opportunity At this pivotal moment in education, College Board is deepening its commitment to preparing students for success - both in college and in high-growth careers. As states accelerate access to career-connected learning, we are seizing the moment with programs like AP Career Kickstart helping to reimagine what's possible for students-by bridging rigorous academics with real-world career skills and opportunity. This role is central to realizing that vision. It brings strategic clarity, operational excellence, and inspirational leadership to three high-impact domains: Strategic External Engagement Cultivate enduring partnerships across CTE, government, and industry-building trust and positioning College Board as a visionary, long-term ally in workforce development at the state level.

Day-to-day priorities and strategic direction will be heavily influenced by Regional and state leadership, requiring someone with strong communication and collaboration skills. Ultimately, your leadership will help ensure students gain access to high-quality, future-ready pathways grounded in real-world opportunity and informed by labor market needs. As Director of Career-Connected Engagement, you will drive regional strategy, foster cross-sector collaboration, and empower internal teams to scale impact. In this role, you will: Cultivate and Steward Strategic Relationships (30%) Lead a regional engagement strategy to build alliances with key career stakeholders-chambers of commerce, workforce boards, intermediaries, and more. You will do this in partnership with regional/state leadership. Represent College Board at workforce and CTE convenings, building trust and elevating our visibility. Partner with internal
