Product Manager / Project Manager, Digital Accessibility

Maarut • Montreal, QC

2d • Remote

About The Position

Client is seeking an autonomous senior professional to oversee and coordinate digital accessibility projects with established vision and priorities. This is not a product ownership role: the individual will not define the vision or the backlog but rather advance a pre-defined plan with the business and IT teams. The core of the role is cross-functional coordination: monitoring deadlines, managing risks, coordinating partners, and reporting to management. The recurring terms (roadmap, action plans, stakeholders, influential leadership, indicators) confirm a priority given to delivery tracking and engagement without hierarchical authority. The title "Project Manager" is explicitly open depending on the candidate's profile, and expertise in accessibility remains an asset, not a requirement. The format is a short-term, part-time contract of 10 hours per week, fully remote, with a few scheduled meetings and the rest organized according to the consultant's availability. This should not be confused with a backlog-focused product owner, a designer, a developer, or a project manager confined to a single team.

Requirements

• Minimum 8 years of relevant experience, senior level.
• Monitoring and coordination of projects with established vision and priorities.
• Coordination of cross-functional initiatives and stakeholder management.
• Structuring, planning, and monitoring of multi-stakeholder action plans.
• Mobilization and influence of partners without hierarchical authority.
• Experience in a complex digital and organizational environment.
• Autonomy and organization in a fully remote work context.
• Oral and written communication, accountability at various levels Hierarchical.
• French language proficiency.
