  • Vendor & Psychometric Collaboration: Partner with psychometricians and delivery vendors (e.g., Pearson) to monitor statistical item performance, manage item banks, ensure QTI compliance, and enforce strict exam security.
  • Localization & Publishing Management: Oversee the operational workflows, publishing, maintenance, and global localization processes for all certification forms and program assets.
  • Enablement, Marketing & Launch: Drive new and updated exam launches by developing study guides, practice exams, web content, program articles, and blog posts to drive candidate success and program awareness.
  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with Engineering, Product Marketing, and Technical Documentation teams to keep certification paths continuously synchronized with major platform releases and product roadmaps.

  • Project Management & Operations: Demonstrated success leading complex, multi-stakeholder technical projects from concept to launch using standard PM tools and frameworks in fast-paced or asynchronous environments.
  • Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Data Engineering, Education, Statistics, or equivalent practical experience.
