Jackson moved to Team Sunweb for the 2020 season.
In July 2021, Jackson received a last minute quota spot to enter the road race competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics, with Jackson finishing 32nd. Jackson moved to Liv Racing for the 2021 season. Following her wins in both the Canadian National Road Race Championships and the Canadian National Time Trial Championships, Jackson signed a contract extension with Liv Racing. In September 2021, Jackson finished 6th in the women's road race at the 2021 UCI Road World Championships.
At the end of the 2022 season, Jackson returned to the now-named EF Education–Tibco–SVB team for the 2023 season, having ridden for the team in 2018 and 2019.
