Job Story

Do you thrive in a role where you’re not only an expert in ADA and 504 compliance but also a trusted resource, educator, and problem solver? If so, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

You’ll play a vital role in making sure our university remains a place where all individuals—students, employees, families, and visitors—have the support and access they need to succeed. You’ll work closely with individuals across campus to ensure ADA compliance also reviewing complaints and work to remove barriers to accessing education. From implementing workplace accommodations under Title I to ensuring compliance with Title II and other federal and state disability laws, you’ll be the go-to expert for navigating the complex but meaningful work of disability rights and institutional compliance.

This role isn’t just about policy—it’s about people.

Whether you’re facilitating training sessions, conducting investigations with an inquisitive and fair-minded approach, or consulting on accessible design, you’ll bring a balance of expertise, approachability, and leadership to every interaction.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys building meaningful connections, and can effectively communicate complex regulations in an understandable and actionable way. You’ll need to be a strong mediator, helping individuals navigate unique and often sensitive situations, while also being a proactive educator who can train others on best practices. A key part of this role is staying ahead of changes in laws, regulations, and accessibility standards—continuously learning and growing as the field evolves.

If you’re someone who enjoys public speaking, sees the value in team-building, and wants to make a lasting impact on campus accessibility and inclusion, we want to hear from you. Join us in shaping a campus culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
