Subject: [WebAIM] Accessibility Services Coordinator - job description

Hi all,
I need your assistance finding a good job description for this type of
position. The Accessibility Services Coordinator will be someone who
will manage the overall accessibility review, implementation, and
guidelines for an educational institution. I came up with this title but
I am not sure if this is the best possible title. The idea is that this
person will become the leader in our institution understanding what web
accessibility is and promoting best practices across the institution. So
I am trying to answer the following questions:

1. What job titles would make sense for such position?
2. What should be the job responsibility?

If you have a job description similar to this, please feel free to share
it.

Thanks,
Giovanni.
