Accessibility Designer
Welcome to Humix, where we’re very passionate about creating digital experiences that are not only innovative and visually compelling but also inclusive and accessible to all. We’re on the hunt for an Accessibility Designer to join our dynamic team. This role is perfect for someone who already has a solid foundation in accessibility principles and is eager to expand their knowledge and apply it to ensure our projects are accessible to all.
While you’ll be focusing on accessibility, a background or interest in UX design will be considered a significant plus since you will be the bridge-builder we need to marry beautiful design with top-notch accessibility.
Join our team of digital innovators, where you’ll get the chance to grow into a leading expert in accessibility design.

- Languages: If you can also speak and write in French, that’s a big advantage.
