Accessibility UI/UX Requirements Analyst

DOM–DoIT requires a dedicated UI/UX Designer & Requirements Specialist to design front-end screens (wireframes, mockups, interaction flows), document detailed functional and design requirements, and support analysis and testing activities for the Angular AppDev team. This is a hybrid role that blends UX design, business analysis, requirements writing, and QA support not a traditional design‑only position.

A specialized contractor is necessary to ensure high‑quality, development‑ready requirements and properly scoped tickets. The role is critical for producing accurate, accessibility‑compliant, developer‑ready stories that prevent oversized tickets, improve workflow clarity, and reduce downstream defects.

Key Responsibilities

• Design screens including wireframes, mockups, and interaction patterns for front‑end applications.
• Conduct gap analysis between current and desired workflows and document risks.
• Write detailed, well‑scoped tickets and user stories in Azure DevOps (ADO) and GitHub.
• Break large feature requests into realistic, properly sized development units.
• Develop personas and convert user needs into actionable design and functional requirements.
• Tag, organize, and refine tickets for clean hand-off to Angular developers.
• Define clear front‑end requirements that bridge design, requirements writing, and development needs.
• Support testing activities, including accessibility testing using automated tools, screen readers, and manual keyboard/tabbing tests.
• Potentially contribute to front‑end coding or testing, depending on skillset.

Required Qualifications

• Strong experience writing detailed requirements, user stories, and well‑formed tickets.
• Significant hands‑on experience with Azure DevOps (ADO) and GitHub for ticket/story workflows.
• Ability to conduct gap analysis, identify risks, and translate findings into actionable requirements.
• Certified accessibility professional (CPACC, WAS, or equivalent).
• Deep understanding of WCAG 2.2 AA, Section 508, and Title I/Title II compliance — with the ability to apply and test against these standards directly.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Working understanding of Angular and general front‑end development concepts.
• Experience working in Agile delivery environments.
• Understanding of CI/CD processes and how front‑end work moves through pipelines.
• Experience contributing to front‑end coding or testing tasks.
• Experience developing personas based on user research.
