Director, SAT Suite Program Training

About the position

The College Readiness Assessments ('CRA') division is a team of mission-driven people who deliver the SAT Suite of Assessments (SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT10, and PSAT 8/9) to millions of students across the world each year to help open their paths to life after high school. The SAT Suite connects students to a wide range of post-high school opportunities, including scholarships, careers, and colleges and universities. In 2023, we retired the use of paper/pencil testing and are now a fully digital SAT Suite offering an assessment that is easier to give, easier to take, more secure, and more relevant. The SAT Suite Program Information team ensures students and educators have an excellent experience with the SAT Suite of Assessments by developing engaging, clear, and accurate content to guide test administrations. By creating digital learning programs, web content, emails, and web-ready instructional manuals and guides, we help educators administer our assessments effectively. This ensures that over 6.5 million students and thousands of testing staff have the information they need to be successful before, during, and after test day. This role will report to the Senior Director, SAT Suite Instructional Design and Training.
