Join the Chase Consumer Bank Digital Accessibility Team, enabling culture, habits, tools, data, and support to help teams deliver fully accessible digital experiences for every customer. As the Executive Director, Accessibility Director, Accessibility Tools and AI Enablement, reporting to the Managing Director, Head of Digital Accessibility, you will set strategy and lead execution for firmwide accessibility tooling and AI enablement to ensure consistent, verifiable accessibility across channels, including dynamic and agentic AI-generated experiences. You will partner closely with the Director of Accessibility Standards and the Director of Accessibility Oversight (Governance and Policy), plus product, design, and engineering leaders across lines of business.

Own a multi-year roadmap that scales accessibility through productized tooling, automation, and AI enablement, while bringing structure to dispersed AI initiatives into a coherent platform strategy. Bake accessibility into the evolving PDLC (product development lifecycle) by defining how AI systems consume requirements for design, development, and testing, and how those requirements persist for runtime-generated UIs—using repeatable patterns, rules and skills exposed via APIs, and measurable assurance.

Job Responsibilities

• Own the accessibility tooling and AI enablement product portfolio: intake, prioritization, roadmap, delivery, adoption, and outcomes.
• Measure impact with clear metrics (defect reduction, time-to-remediation, coverage, satisfaction, and risk reduction) and drive continuous improvement.
• Set the operating model for accessibility in AI-assisted and agentic delivery: strategy, principles, guardrails, evaluation, and alignment of emerging AI projects to reduce duplication and ensure consistent use of approved frameworks and patterns.
• With the Director of Accessibility Standards, define and implement assurance frameworks embedded in the PDLC that translate requirements into acceptance criteria and executable checks.
• Ensure these frameworks cover deterministic builds and non-deterministic, agentic generation (including runtime UI creation), supported by human-in-the-loop and human-on-the-loop controls and auditable evidence.
• Partner with the Director of Accessibility Oversight (Governance and Policy) to manage reputational, compliance, and operational risk for AI-generated experiences, including governance of variability inherent in non-deterministic outputs.
• Ensure internal AI tools and interfaces are accessible to employees and customers using assistive technologies.
