• Coach designers and engineers on inclusive design, semantic HTML/ARIA, color/contrast, focus management, keyboard support, captions/transcripts, error handling, and documentation. Research & Insights
• Plan and conduct user research across diverse user groups; translate findings into clear product decisions.
• Define success metrics (task success, usability scores, accessibility issue density/severity), and instrument analytics to monitor UX outcomes. Collaboration & Enablement
• Partner with Engineering to prioritize accessibility fixes and prevent regressions via CI/CD gates and definition-of-done.
• Work with Customer Success to address accessibility inquiries, reproduce findings, and communicate remediation timelines.
• Represent UX & Accessibility in leadership and customer meetings; create executive-ready materials that articulate trade-offs and ROI.
