Jumpstart Refugee Talent is looking for our next Digital Designer. You will be our brand’s visual ambassador and become part of a national team who strive every day to economically empower refugees in Canada.

Jumpstart Refugee Talent is a refugee‑led non‑profit organization and the only national organization exclusively serving refugees seeking meaningful employment. Founded in 2016, we focus on the economic empowerment of newly settled refugees to foster a more diverse and prosperous Canada. Jumpstart also works to address underemployment and economic inclusion and serves refugees from all backgrounds across Canada.

We are seeking a Digital Designer to lead the creation of high‑quality, visually consistent, and polished content across Jumpstart’s platforms. This role combines design, video, and brand leadership to strengthen Jumpstart’s visual identity and elevate how we share impact across audiences.
