Candidates who live near CB offices have the option of being fully remote or hybrid (Tuesday and Wednesday in office). All CB employees are required to occasionally travel to meet in person for business purposes. About the Team The SAT Psychometrics, Analytics and Research (SPAR) team, as part of the larger Psychometrics group at College Board, supports more than seven million students a year as they prepare for a successful transition to college and career. SPAR partners closely with the College Readiness Assessments — primarily the SAT Suite of Assessments — to ensure operational excellence and best-in-class measurement solutions. Our work ensures that students, educators, and other stakeholders can trust the data that informs the most important decisions of their academic lives.
