On a day to day basis, you will be responsible for:
- Evaluate all incoming technology requests submitted through the IT Purchasing Portal—including enterprise systems, SaaS platforms, academic technologies, administrative applications, and tools used across campus—to determine whether each product meets accessibility expectations before approval.
- Analyze vendor accessibility documentation—reviewing VPATs/ACRs, comparing claims to accessibility requirements, identifying gaps or inconsistencies, and requesting clarifications from vendors as needed.
- Apply WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA, ADA Title II, Section 508, and policies to assess whether products meet required accessibility criteria, pose compliance or usability risks, or require vendor remediation, ensuring established standards—not new policy—are consistently applied.
- Prepare formal written recommendations that summarize identified barriers, assess the severity of issues, outline required remediation, and determine whether products should be approved, conditionally approved, or reconsidered.
- Provide guidance to departments by explaining accessibility requirements, clarifying review outcomes, recommending alternative solutions, and helping them understand how to choose more accessible technologies.
- Maintain organized, audit‑ready records of all reviews, update a repository of previously evaluated technologies, track vendor patterns and recurring risks, and support accessibility reporting for leadership.
