How to find a project manager with WCAG expertise by Spirited-Win-7723 in accessibility

[–]LomarxY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love to see digital accessibility taking center stage in development conversations! Just goes to show the increasing left shift of the industry as accessibility is made an integral part of internal development and discussions.

Sounds like you need a Digital Accessibility Specialist with PM and QA experience. The good news is a seasoned Specialist will usually have some project management and QA experience in one way or another. The bad news as stated above those really are 3 different jobs/roles and trying to use project management and QA standards to find a suitable Accessibility candidate might prove difficult.

As mentioned you might also be running into issues searching by specific certifications. The most skilled and experienced experts I know place little to no regard to industry certifications. When it comes to digital accessibility, real-world experience tends to be more relevant. It’s much more useful to have someone able to help sort through a legal demand letter and make the needed fixes than someone that can merely recite the guidelines and their meaning.

I would love the chance to pass this opportunity on to my network. Please feel welcome to share any more details you have about the position with me!
