Alt Text Writers often face the challenge of striking a balance between being concise and providing enough detail to make images meaningful for users who rely on screen readers. They must also consistently apply accessibility standards while managing varying content types and deadlines. Additionally, collaboration with designers and web developers is important to ensure alt text supports both the visual context and user needs. Overcoming these challenges requires strong communication, adaptability, and deep knowledge of digital accessibility guidelines, all of which contribute to a rewarding and impactful role.
To thrive as an Alt Text Writer, you need strong writing skills, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of accessibility standards such as WCAG. Familiarity with content management systems, accessibility tools, and screen reader software is often required. Excellent communication, creativity, and the ability to collaborate with designers and developers make you stand out in this role. These abilities ensure alt text is accurate, informative, and improves digital accessibility for all users.
An Alt Text Writing job involves creating descriptive text for images to improve accessibility for visually impaired users and enhance SEO. Writers craft concise, accurate descriptions that convey the essential details and purpose of an image. This role is crucial for websites, e-learning platforms, and digital content that must meet accessibility standards like WCAG. Strong writing skills, attention to detail, and an understanding of accessibility guidelines are essential for success in this field.

MATC Group, Inc. is a respected provider of technical writing, instructional design, and knowledge management services; proudly serving industries including health care, legal, software, manufacturing, financial services, IT, and telecom since 2009. We’re recognized for an analytical, results-driven approach and a consistent track record of delivering strong outcomes.
We’re looking for an instructional designer who brings both solid learning design fundamentals and a strong creative eye. You can look at a course, storyboard, or deck and quickly tell what’s working, what isn’t, and how to improve it - structure, flow, visuals, interactions, and clarity. You’re comfortable taking existing content and elevating it into training that feels intentional, modern, and learner-centered. If this doesn't sound like you, then you will not succeed in this role.
What you’ll do:
• Design and develop engaging learning experiences across formats (eLearning, virtual, and instructor-led).
• Create or re-design training content to improve clarity, usability, and learning impact.
• Apply learning design best practices (adult learning, objectives, assessment alignment, chunking, practice, feedback).
• Review content and prototypes with a quality-focused design lens; identify gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities to improve.
• Partner with subject matter experts to research, shape, and validate content.
• Turn complex material into training that’s easy to follow and action-oriented.
• Build supporting media and learning assets (audio, video, basic simulations, role plays, knowledge checks, interactive elements).
• Develop learning deliverables in multiple engaging formats and recommend the right approach for the audience.
• Manage work to agreed effort and schedule; communicate progress and risks clearly.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of templates, design standards, and course aesthetics.
• Other duties as assigned.
Minimum requirements:
• 4+ years of experience in instructional design and/or eLearning development.
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate learning materials and improve them (structure, visuals, interaction design, accessibility, and overall learner experience).
• Experience working with SMEs to plan, develop, and refine training content.
• Proficiency with Articulate 360 Storyline and the Microsoft Office Suite (especially PowerPoint and Word).
• Strong writing and editing skills; ability to simplify complex ideas without losing accuracy.
• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.
Nice to have:
• Consulting-based instructional design experience or work across multiple internal stakeholders/clients.
• Experience with additional tools: Rise, Camtasia, SnagIt, Adobe Creative Suite, Captivate, Lectora, Visio, Acrobat, etc.
• Comfort applying or collaborating on basic visual design standards (layout, typography, consistency, branding).
• Familiarity with accessibility practices (WCAG-minded design, captions, alt text, color contrast).
The ideal candidate:
You’re a hands-on creator who can build and critique. You enjoy making learning look and feel better - clean layouts, purposeful interactions, and a clear story from start to finish. You’re pragmatic, collaborative with SMEs, and comfortable shifting between projects and industries while maintaining quality and polish.
This is a remote position.
