We are united by the goal of forging a new path for all of us to walk and prosper together. Our purpose is to “Widen the Circle”, or in other words, expand the horizons of opportunity and prosperity so that Indigenous Peoples can be leaders in the professional services space. The brighter future we seek must ensure Indigenous knowledge is the beacon that guides this business forward. Combining Indigenous knowledge and worldviews with imaginative solutions and advanced technologies will illuminate new opportunities for individuals, and new forms of progress in our communities.

This position can be done remotely, and tax exemption work is encouraged for those who qualify. We are seeking candidates for a mix of full-time permanent and contract positions (6-12 months).
