The position contributes directly to the State's digital accessibility goals by identifying and remediating barriers, implementing best practices in inclusive design, and supporting the Centers of Excellence service delivery model.

Establish and document ongoing accessibility review processes, content standards, and maintenance workflows to ensure sustained compliance. - User Experience (UX) Enhancement

This role also contributes to long-term operational improvements by establishing sustainable accessibility and content governance practices.
A day in the life
A typical workday includes reviewing web pages for accessibility issues, collaborating with HR teams to update content, testing user experience improvements, and developing guidance for content creators. The contractor may conduct accessibility scans, participate in redesign discussions, create accessible graphics, and provide training sessions.
