Product Manager / Project Manager, Digital Accessibility

Original job posting

The role involves coordinating cross-functional digital accessibility projects by monitoring deadlines, managing risks, and reporting to management. The professional will advance a pre-defined plan while engaging stakeholders and partners without holding hierarchical authority.

Job details

Client is seeking an autonomous senior professional to oversee and coordinate digital accessibility projects with established vision and priorities. This is not a product ownership role: the individual will not define the vision or the backlog but rather advance a pre-defined plan with the business and IT teams. The core of the role is cross-functional coordination: monitoring deadlines, managing risks, coordinating partners, and reporting to management. The recurring terms (roadmap, action plans, stakeholders, influential leadership, indicators) confirm a priority given to delivery tracking and engagement without hierarchical authority. The title "Project Manager" is explicitly open depending on the candidate's profile, and expertise in accessibility remains an asset, not a requirement. The format is a short-term, part-time contract of 10 hours per week, fully remote, with a few scheduled meetings and the rest organized according to the consultant's availability. This should not be confused with a backlog-focused product owner, a designer, a developer, or a project manager confined to a single team.
