Job description

Sr. Accessibility Product Manager

Are you passionate about building accessible products that serve a diverse community of clinicians and healthcare professionals?


Do you thrive in leading complex, cross-functional programs that drive meaningful, measurable impact across a global product portfolio?

About the Role
In this role, you will lead the accessibility program for a broad portfolio of Clinical Solutions products, ensuring they meet evolving accessibility standards and support the needs of a diverse user base. You will set strategy, oversee execution, and guide teams to embed accessibility into product development practices. This position operates with high visibility and contributes directly to product quality, compliance, and customer trust.

Responsibilties

Own the Accessibility Program

  • Assess the current compliance posture, identify gaps, and drive the program from where it is to where it needs to be

  • Own conformance documentation (VPATs/ACRs) across all active products - ensuring everything is current, accurate, and ready for enterprise procurement

  • Partner with Legal on ADA Title III obligations, contractual commitments, and customer inquiries; be the person who knows where the risks are before they become escalations

  • Stay ahead of the legal and regulatory landscape - enforcement trends, emerging state statutes, and international equivalents for our global customer base

Drive Cross-Functional Execution

  • Build and maintain the portfolio-level remediation roadmap across a large suite of products spanning physician, nursing, specialty, and patient engagement categories

  • Work with product managers, engineers, and designers to embed accessibility into how we build - not as an afterthought audit, but as part of discovery, design, and delivery

  • Coordinate a distributed network of accessibility champions embedded in product teams; set direction, maintain standards, and keep execution coherent across teams

  • Own triage for incoming accessibility issues - from customers, audits, and legal - and drive them to resolution

Extend Coverage to Content

  • Accessibility at Elsevier isn't just about the UI layer - clinical content, educational materials, and PDFs all carry their own obligations

  • Work with content authoring teams to ensure alt text, captions, reading order, and PDF accessibility are built into how content is created, not fixed after the fact

Build Visibility and Capability

  • Define the metrics that tell leadership whether the program is working, and report against them consistently

  • Create the standards and guidance that raise baseline accessibility capability across product and engineering teams - reducing reliance on escalation

  • Be the authoritative voice on accessibility for Clinical Solutions; represent the program at the leadership level and in enterprise customer conversations

Requirements

  • 6+ years in product management, with at least 2 years owning a digital accessibility or compliance program at a product-led company

  • Deep working knowledge of WCAG 2.1/2.2, Section 508, and ADA Title III as applied to web and mobile software products

  • Experience producing and defending VPATs / Accessibility Conformance Reports in an enterprise B2B context

  • Proven ability to inherit an existing program, assess its maturity honestly, and drive measurable improvement - you know how to make something significantly better without starting over

  • Experience coordinating distributed ownership models - you've worked across teams where you influence without direct authority

  • Technical fluency sufficient for credible conversations with front-end engineers on ARIA patterns, semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and screen reader behavior

  • Experience navigating Legal stakeholders and accessibility-related procurement and contractual requirements

Strong Preference

  • Background in health tech, SaaS, or enterprise software with a large, heterogeneous product portfolio

  • Experience with content accessibility - alt text, closed captioning, PDF remediation, authoring tool compliance

  • Hands-on experience with assistive technology testing (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, ZoomText)

  • Familiarity with automated testing tooling (axe, Lighthouse, Pa11y) and CI/CD integration

  • Exposure to European Accessibility Act / EN 301 549 for international product lines

  • CPACC, WAS, or equivalent IAAP certification
