The growth of our industry and evolving technology powers our employees’ careers as they move up or around the company.
The Role
Leads enterprise accessibility engineering strategy for Spectrum’s digital products. Embeds accessibility standards into design and engineering processes, oversees automated and manual testing, guides remediation and AI-enabled innovation, and partners with Compliance and cross-functional teams. Manages accessibility roadmaps, budgets, contractors, vendors, performance targets, product initiatives, and executive communications while developing leaders and advancing accessible customer experiences.
Summary Generated by Built In
This role requires the ability to work lawfully in the U.S. without employment-based immigration sponsorship, now or in the future.
Spectrum's Accessibility Center of Excellence is an award-winning team that fosters a culture of accessibility and inclusivity for customers and employees alike. The group empowers the delivery of connectivity for all. Spectrum's digital products reach millions of customers, including many who rely on assistive technology to use them. We are therefore seeking a senior-level strategic leader equipped to drive thoughtful, enterprise-level efforts that help ensure customers with disabilities are supported across Spectrum's digital experiences.
As Senior Director of Accessibility, you will lead the technical engine behind that experience. Your first priority is shifting accessibility left - partnering with design and engineering, including our design systems team, to embed accessibility standards directly into how products get built, so issues are designed out before they ever reach a test cycle. This proactive foundation has been a priority for Spectrum and the industry for years, and you'll be the one setting the standards that make it real. You'll pair that with the testing programs (automated and manual audits) that catch what slips through, and the innovation - including harnessing AI to scale testing, remediation and standards development - that keeps Spectrum ahead of an evolving regulatory and technology landscape. This is a highly cross-functional leadership role, with partnerships that start close to home and extend well beyond it. Within the accessibility team, you will partner closely with Compliance, where the meeting of regulatory obligations depends on the health of the data your audits produce - one of the team's top priorities every year.
