Who We Are:
Join an organization that's making an impact in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities
Ampere (formerly the Pinnguaq Association) isn't just another non-profit. We're an award-winning catalyst for change, activating opportunities for people of all ages in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities to unlock their potential through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). Through our partnerships with communities, businesses, and technology creators, we co-design and deliver culturally responsive tools, resources, curriculums, and world-class programming across the country. We believe the best education doesn't feel like work, it feels like discovery.
From our roots in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, we've grown to operate Makerspace and Skills Hubs in Iqaluit (Nunavut), Bathurst (New Brunswick), and the Kawartha Lakes (Ontario), while collaborating with partners nationwide. Our Lifecycle approach ensures that we're with learners at every age and every stage of life, and our mission-driven model ensures that 100% of social enterprise proceeds sustain programs that benefit communities we serve. Your work here directly changes lives. If you're passionate about making a tangible difference, this is where you belong.

- Implement UDL (Universal Design for Learning) at a foundational level to ensure content is accessible and inclusive for all student populations.
- Manage Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), distilling their feedback into clear, classroom-ready materials.
- Evaluate and select educational technologies to improve the delivery and engagement of digital learning materials.
- Lead cross-departmental projects, coordinating with tech and product teams to ensure educational standards are met during new builds.
- Proven experience in Math or Science curricula is considered an asset.
Attributes and Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Education or a related field.

- Self-directed project management skills, with a track record of hitting deadlines and managing complex content schedules independently.
- Deep understanding of non-academic skills and a commitment to recognizing diverse lived experiences in the hiring and design process.
Ampere prioritizes the safety of our employees and the community members we work with, because of this we may require both new hires and current team members to undergo a Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS). The approval for acceptance of a VSS lies with our People and Culture Team and Management. To ensure up-to-date documentation, please ensure it has not been over six months since the date of completion of the VSS you are submitting. The expense for the VSS falls on the individual, not the company, if there are any concerns regarding this please speak to the People and Culture Team. Additionally, please confirm you're completing the VSS in the correct region.
Ampere strongly believes in fostering diversity within the communities we serve. We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our staff including, but not limited to, Indigenous people, women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity.
Ampere is committed to developing inclusive, barrier-free recruitment and selection processes and work environments. Please inform us should accommodation be required at any point in the recruitment process. We do not use AI or automated systems to screen or evaluate job applicants. Every application is reviewed by a member of our hiring team to ensure a fair and human-centered selection process.
