Your Role as a Product Manager, Accessibility:

You will develop and lead accessibility strategy and execution across the Appspace platform. This is a hands-on technical role within Product Management that requires both deep accessibility expertise and the ability to work directly with our largest global customers.

You'll define our accessibility roadmap, make prioritization decisions, and work as a trusted advisor to customers for whom accessibility is mission-critical. This means you need to credibly explain WCAG requirements, respond to complex compliance questions, and sometimes push back on unrealistic demands – all while maintaining strong customer relationships.

You'll partner closely with design, engineering, product managers, and QA to integrate accessibility throughout our development process. You'll also work with Sales and Customer Success on customer engagements, RFP responses, and roadmap presentations.

A Day in the Life of a Product Manager, Accessibility:

Partner with Sales to respond to accessibility requirements in RFPs and customer negotiations

Execution & Delivery

Translate compliance requirements and customer needs into clear user stories and acceptance criteria for development teams
Triage accessibility issues reported by users and customers, prioritize remediation, and track progress
Manage third-party accessibility audits and maintain accurate VPAT/ACR documentation
Define and track metrics on accessibility performance (defect trends, audit findings, escalations)

Cross-functional Leadership

Act as the subject matter expert on accessibility for product managers, designers, and engineers
Work with design teams early in the process to ensure accessibility is built in from the start
Lead workshops and provide training on WCAG guidelines and inclusive design principles
Develop resources and workflows that make accessibility easier to integrate across the product lifecycle

What You'll Need:

Proven experience in customer-facing roles, including executive-level interactions about technical accessibility topics
Track record managing accessibility in a SaaS or complex software environment

Strong communication skills – you can explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Highly Desirable:

IAAP certification (CPACC, WAS, or CPWA)
Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies
Familiarity with EN 301 549 and Section 508 standards
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business, or related field

Form CC-305

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
