About The Position

As a Senior Accessibility Consultant on Target’s Global UX team, you will work alongside developers, designers, and product owners to create and improve accessible digital experiences for Target guests and team members. You will apply Target’s internal accessibility procedures, based on WCAG 2.2, throughout discovery, design, engineering, testing, and regression.
