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.
