Nuno Jordao made the journey to Canada in 2008 from Portugal, where he had spent ten years as a lawyer and worked for the Azorean government as a manager of finance, planning, and administration. When he arrived in Canada, Nuno was searching for a better work/life balance.  

After eight years in Canada, he was looking for a career change and joined a S.U.C.C.E.S.S. program targeting Canadians looking to realign their professional backgrounds. Following the program, Nuno was asked to apply for a position at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. and became a temporary program manager for youth employment in 2017. During the course of that year, Nuno took on multiple roles with the organization. At the end of the year, an HR lead position became available, Nuno decided to apply and was successfully awarded the position. Today, Nuno is a senior HR manager who manages and oversees the function of the Human Resources department.  

Having worked in multiple fields, Nuno enjoys working with a non-profit because of the “meaningful sense of accomplishment.” As an immigrant, Nuno enjoys working for a diverse and supportive team and an organization that supports his community. “One of the things I enjoy about working in HR at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. is that we hire for ‘the who’ and not ‘the what.’ I love working S.U.C.C.E.S.S. because I am able to exercise my profession and at the same time contribute to my community.”
