Accessibility Auditor- Level 1

Online ADA is a leading accessibility company that works to ensure websites are accessible to as many people as possible. Equal access to digital content, services, and documents is no different from equal access to physical places and in-person services, but in a lot of ways it can be easier to create! We believe in the potential of accessible web design to ensure equal access to all, and we help our clients reach as wide an audience as possible without spending too much time or money.

We’re growing and are looking for a new Accessibility Auditor to join the Auditor Team and help our clients make their websites more accessible for users with disabilities.
