Accessibility UI/UX Requirements Analyst

Complete Description

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

• Proven experience in UI/UX screen design (wireframes, mockups, interaction design).
• 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.
