Accessibility Program Management

Accessibility program management involves leading and coordinating organizational accessibility initiatives to ensure digital products and services are accessible to people with disabilities. Program managers develop strategies, create policies, manage teams, and ensure compliance with accessibility standards.

Accessibility program managers work at the intersection of technology, compliance, and business strategy. They must understand accessibility requirements, communicate effectively with stakeholders, manage budgets and resources, and drive organizational change to embed accessibility into processes and culture.

The role requires strong leadership, project management, and communication skills, as well as deep accessibility knowledge. Program managers often work with cross-functional teams including developers, designers, testers, legal, and executive leadership.

As organizations face increasing legal requirements and recognize the business value of accessibility, the demand for skilled accessibility program managers continues to grow.
