• Compliance Lifecycle: Receive incoming MOAs and execute a multi-stage remediation process using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
• Rigorous Validation: Perform iterative scanning to identify and rectify accessibility barriers, ensuring all documents meet federal 508 standards.
• Data Integrity: Conduct parallel data quality checks on MOAs to ensure document content accurately reflects program records before finalization.

• Public Access Workflow: Upon successful remediation, generate web-accessible versions of MOAs and facilitate the creation of hyperlinks for the public-facing program website.
• Tracking & Reconciliation: Maintain real-time status in the MOA Tracker. Proactively identify and prioritize remediation for “Active” agencies while maintaining an ongoing schedule for “Terminated/Inactive” agency records.
• System Integration: Regularly pull SharePoint lists to manage the queue, ensuring the “508 Compliance” status is accurately reflected for all program MOAs.
• Stakeholder Coordination:
• Batch Distribution: Manage the secure distribution of compliant MOAs to government POCs in consistent, manageable batches.
• Feedback Loop: Coordinate with federal leads to receive validated files and integrate final URLs into the central MOA tracker.
• Operational Transparency: Manage the document publication cadence, ensuring files are turned around in a reasonable timeframe despite shifting volume, and providing status updates to management on publication progress.

  3‑5 years of experience overseeing aspects of a project, leading a team on large projects or a significant segment of large and complex projects; ability to analyze new and complex project‑related problems and create innovative solutions involving schedule, technology, methodology, tools, solution components, and financial management of the project.

• Functional Area
  
  Experience:
  
  3‑5 years of experience in the relevant functional area — Section 508 compliance, accessibility remediation, or document/records management.
