About the Team    

The Information Management team supports   reliable   operation and continuous improvement of enterprise platforms that enable privacy-focused technology and workflows across the College Board. Our work ensures that systems supporting data handling, consent, and access-related processes   operate   predictably, scale responsibly, and provide clear,   accurate   outputs to the teams who rely on them.  

We partner closely with engineering, product, privacy, and operational teams to help translate complex requirements into well-documented workflows, strengthen testing and validation practices, and improve system transparency. Our focus is on platform execution — ensuring configurations, data inputs, and system behaviors align with expected outcomes.  

As privacy technology continues to evolve, our team helps enable safe scaling by supporting implementation, validation, and documentation efforts that reduce operational risk and improve clarity for downstream teams.  

We are a collaborative, detail-oriented team that values precision, practical problem-solving, and continuous improvement. Our goal is to reduce friction, improve system understanding, and help privacy-enabled platforms function effectively across the organization.  

About the Opportunity     

The Information Analyst   is responsible for   the effective operation and continuous improvement of enterprise platforms and application workflows, ensuring processes are clearly defined, data inputs meet established quality standards, and system behaviors align with business and technical expectations.  

This role focuses on analytical ownership of platform behavior, validation strategy, and workflow design. The Analyst partners with engineering, product, and business teams to evaluate system performance, define functional expectations, and inform decisions that ensure systems   operate   predictably and scale effectively.  

This is a hands-on analytical role that exercises independent judgment in analyzing system behavior,   determining   validation approaches, and driving improvements that enhance platform reliability, transparency, and operational efficiency.
