At Scotia Digital, our plans for accessibility and digital inclusion are ambitious. With the support of senior executives, our mission is to enable the organization to provide inclusive experiences for all – customers and colleagues. Our accessibility practice resides within our broader Product and Design Community of Practice. Because of this, we are ideally positioned to enable various roles and teams to properly consider real world accessibility and keep digitally inclusive considerations in mind at key times throughout a project’s life cycle. This enables us to properly embed inclusive and accessible practices into all experiences and treats people with dignity by giving them the confidence and independence to complete tasks in a manner that meets their own individual needs.

• Engage thoughtfully, collaboratively, and diplomatically with the product, design, engineering and business teams to identify the right learning and coaching needed to drive accessibility efforts.
• Design and delivery of digital assets and virtual instructor-led training (VILT) that captures accessibility and digitally inclusive concepts and principles, builds empathy and develops role specific skills.
• Develop and oversee the production of learning design and development plans, storyboards, prototypes, job aids, and online resources.
• Support learners in achieving identified learning objectives through effective feedback and ongoing evaluation of learning transfer and gaps.
• Regularly assess training effectiveness and provide evidence of learning success. 
• Manage the Digital Accessibility Portals (English and Spanish)
• Advise in the creation and delivery of inclusive and accessible learning experiences.
• Mentor and collaborate with other accessibility, design and usability specialists   
• Champion a high performance environment and contribute to an inclusive work environment

Where could you work? Both at home and in the office.

We’re working towards a future that is digital by default and creating a local Hub in Vancouver.

This hybrid role offers the opportunity both to work remotely and head to the Hub to collaborate in person, co-creating a cohesive and inclusive culture with your Vancouver team.

• Proven ability to effectively communicate the complexities and opportunities for digital inclusion to technical and non-technical audiences with various skillsets. 
• Knowledge of assistive technology including screen readers, print magnification software and alternative input systems is a plus

What's in it for you?

• We have an inclusive and collaborative working environment that encourages creativity and curiosity and celebrates success
• We provide you with the tools and technology needed to create meaningful customer experiences
