The community you will join:

As a Lead Experience Designer focusing on Accessibility, you will partner with supporting disciplines such as writers, researchers, product specialists and engineers to build beautiful, usable, forward-looking products that empower people. Our design charter is to help foster an emotional connection with our community, keeping usability and accessibility as our prime virtues. We do our best to practice inclusive design at every turn, spanning both the online and offline experiences we create for our community.

 

The difference you will make

As a Lead Experience Designer on Accessibility, you will be responsible for defining and scaling our inclusive design initiatives with a focus on digital accessibility. You’ll collaborate with other designers, UX writers, researchers, and other cross-functional partners to elevate product quality and empower design teams to deliver innovative and accessible solutions.

 

With a strong foundation in both interaction and visual design, you understand what it takes to translate complex accessibility guidelines into simple, usable, and scalable solutions. You are capable of quickly onboarding to a highly technical domain, and partnering effectively with a variety of stakeholders to advocate for inclusion and uplevel product quality. You are passionate about inclusive design, inspiring others to proactively design for inclusion.

 

A typical day

  • Empower design teams to build more inclusive end-to-end user experiences 

  • Contribute accessible UI components, patterns, and documentation for Airbnb’s industry-leading Design Language System

  • Define and deliver scalable tooling and frameworks for other designers to leverage, such as accessibility specs and annotations

  • Close knowledge gaps and increase technical expertise within Design by facilitating workshops and inclusive design trainings

  • Translate industry standards, like Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), into understandable and approachable deliverables to uplevel designers and writers

  • Review designs, mockups, and prototypes throughout the product development cycle to increase quality and compliance through weekly office hours

 

Your expertise

  • 8+ years of professional experience in user experience and digital design

  • Experience in the inclusive design or accessibility space, or with design language systems

  • Proficiency designing across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop, Mobile Web)

  • Effective communication skills and an ability to translate technical accessibility guidelines into persuasive practices people will embrace

  • Demonstrated ability to deal with ambiguous environments, including adapting to new challenges, scenarios, and working styles

  • Understanding of how different assistive technologies (like screen readers or speech recognition software) behave, and how users of assistive technology may be impacted by different design choices
