We are looking for an Accessibility Specialist to join our team and help ensure that our digital products and services are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This role is critical in promoting inclusive design and compliance with accessibility standards such as WCAG, ADA, and Section 508. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of accessibility principles, assistive technologies, and user-centered design practices.
As an Accessibility Specialist, you will work closely with designers, developers, product managers, and QA teams to identify and resolve accessibility issues. You will conduct audits, provide training, and offer guidance on best practices to ensure that our digital experiences are usable by everyone. Your work will directly impact the inclusivity and usability of our products, helping us reach a broader audience and comply with legal requirements.
You should be passionate about accessibility and have experience with tools such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and automated testing software.
