- Work with cross-functional teams on web, LMS, document, social and digital content accessibility
- Support organization-wide accessibility processes and culture change
What we’re looking for
- Strong working knowledge of WCAG and digital accessibility standards
- Hands-on experience assessing accessibility across systems, web content and documents
- Experience interpreting VPATs (or equivalent) and advising on remediation
- Pragmatic problem-solving and sound judgement under delivery constraints
- Excellent communication skills and experience influencing without authority
