Position Overview:
We’re looking for a detail-oriented, accessibility-focused Designer to support a range of print and digital design projects for a high-profile public sector client.

  • Apply WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility best practices in digital design projects.
  • Collaborate with internal teams, content creators, and stakeholders to ensure accessibility is integrated from concept to delivery.

  • Contribute to accessibility design guidance and support accessibility QA as needed.

Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of experience in graphic, digital, or communications design, ideally with public sector or government projects.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing accessible design work across both print and digital formats.
  • Solid knowledge of PDF/UA standards, accessible PDF tagging, and remediation.
  • Experience designing to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, AODA, or similar accessibility standards.
  • Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (especially InDesign and Acrobat Pro).
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote contract environment.
  • Detail-oriented with a commitment to high-quality, inclusive design.

We look forward to hearing from you!

We acknowledge that we are all treaty people and accept our responsibility to honour all our relations.

To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory we reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. Land acknowledgements do not exist in a past tense, or historical context: colonialism is current and ongoing, and we need to centre reconciliation in our actions and in our work. We encourage our team, partners, and clients to learn about the lands in which they live and to work towards reconciliation.
