About the Team The AP Program Access department is housed within the Advanced Placement and Instruction (“AP&I”) division. Program Access is the operating engine that turns AP growth into durable student participation and completion at scale, moving stakeholders through the full access lifecycle from awareness → adoption → participation → implementation → completion through aligned strategies, resources, and execution.

The department is composed of four coordinated mobilization functions: Outreach, Educator Community, Student Activation, and School Success. Each function owns distinct stages of the lifecycle, while the department ensures seamless handoffs and shared accountability for outcomes. Given the relationship of Pre-AP to AP access, the department also provides overall leadership for Pre-AP.

The AP Educator Community is accountable for building and sustaining the AP teacher workforce through professional learning, teacher recruitment, community support, and partnerships.

About the Opportunity As a member of the AP Educator Community team, the Associate Director will manage the day-to-day operations for consultants, Online Teacher Community (OTC) moderators, and reviewers in their assigned courses, ensuring high-quality, efficient delivery of the AP Professional Learning, OTC, and Course Audit annual cycles. Working closely with the Educator Community Services team, the Associate Director will ensure the resources available to new consultants, including onboarding modules, the self-reflection tool, and training content, are relevant, current, and accessible, and that new consultants have the guidance they need to complete endorsement documentation. The Associate Director will also organize online trainings on professional learning offering updates and keep consultant endorsements and attributes current across all AP courses. In addition, the Associate Director will source and assign consultants to workshops and APSI events, oversee the AP Course Audit Reviewer pool and its performance standards, and lead consultant and reviewer communications, serving as the liaison between internal subject-matter experts and consultants in their disciplines.
