What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in accessibility consultant jobs.
- Knowledge of WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 compliance standards and testing methodologies
- Hands-on experience with assistive technologies including JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack
- Ability to conduct manual and automated accessibility audits on web and mobile applications
- IAAP certification such as CPACC, WAS, or CPWA preferred or required

- Bachelor's degree in a related field such as human-computer interaction, computer science, or design
Tips for Your Accessibility Consultant Job Search
Tailor your resume to specific standards
Hiring managers scan for WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 by name. List the specific conformance levels you've audited against and name the assistive technologies you've tested with, such as JAWS, NVDA, or VoiceOver. Generic 'accessibility experience' won't stand out.
Highlight certifications prominently above experience
Certifications like CPWA, WAS, or CPACC signal immediate credibility to hiring teams unfamiliar with accessibility depth. Place them in a dedicated section near the top of your resume so a recruiter skimming for qualifications spots them before reading your work history.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists accessibility consultant openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by remediation versus advisory scope
Some roles focus on auditing and issuing reports while others embed consultants inside engineering teams to fix issues directly. Identify which type matches your background before applying so your cover letter speaks to the actual day-to-day work described in the posting.
Prepare a portfolio of remediation outcomes
Bring documented before-and-after examples to interviews: a VPAT you rewrote, a component you retested after remediation, or an audit report that led to measurable fixes. Concrete artifacts carry far more weight than describing process in the abstract.
Negotiate scope and audit autonomy, not just pay
In accessibility consulting, the ability to recommend rather than just document is a significant difference between roles. During final-round conversations, ask directly whether consultants can flag systemic issues or only respond to assigned tickets. That answer shapes your day-to-day influence.
Accessibility Consultant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most accessibility consultants?
The most active employers for accessibility consultants right now are eBusiness Solutions, The Rising Workplace, Pllc, and Target, and the most openings are in Tennessee, Michigan, and Maryland, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Federal contractors and large technology companies tend to maintain the most consistent demand.
How many accessibility consultant jobs are remote?
About 25% of accessibility consultant openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the audit-heavy nature of the work. Digital accessibility roles focused on web and mobile testing tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles requiring in-person facility assessments or hands-on assistive technology training are more likely to require on-site presence.
How do you become an accessibility consultant?
Start by learning WCAG guidelines and testing with common assistive technologies such as screen readers and switch controls. Pursue an IAAP certification like CPACC or WAS to formalize your credentials. Build a portfolio through volunteer audits, open-source contributions, or freelance projects. Move into a consulting role by targeting organizations with active digital accessibility programs or federal contractors subject to Section 508 requirements.
Can you get hired as an accessibility consultant with little experience?
Yes, entry-level accessibility roles exist, particularly at consulting firms that train new hires on audit workflows. Focus on earning a recognized certification, building a small portfolio of real audits on public-facing websites, and demonstrating fluency with at least one major screen reader. Candidates who can show they understand WCAG failure criteria and can document issues clearly are competitive even without years of professional experience.
What does the accessibility consultant interview process look like?
Most processes include a recruiter screen, a technical interview covering WCAG criteria and assistive technology knowledge, and a practical exercise where you audit a sample interface and document findings. Final rounds often involve a panel with a product or engineering stakeholder. Some employers ask candidates to present a past audit report or explain how they'd approach a specific accessibility failure they're shown live.
Where can I find and apply to accessibility consultant jobs?
You can find and apply to accessibility consultant jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
