·   Collaborate with designers, developers, and content creators to ensure accessibility is integrated from concept to delivery.

·   Conduct accessibility testing using screen readers (e.g., NVDA, JAWS), color contrast analyzers, and validation software (e.g., PAC 3, CommonLook).

·   Provide training and guidance to internal teams on accessible design and content creation workflows.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

·   Degree in Graphic Design, UX/UI Design, or related field.

·   Advanced knowledge of Adobe Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator, PowerPoint, and G Suite accessibility features.
