In January 2011 he scored his first goal for Aberdeen against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, which was voted as the club's Goal of the Season for 2010–11. A week later, he came on as a substitute in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park, a 4–1 defeat to Celtic. Jack signed a new contract with Aberdeen in October 2011. On 13 December 2011 in a Scottish Premier League fixture against St Johnstone, he scored a goal from the halfway line to put his team 2–0 up after opposing goalkeeper Peter Enckelman miskicked a clearance. The match ended 2–1 to Aberdeen, with Jack's winner helping the Dons move up to ninth in the table. In June 2013, Jack signed a three-year deal at Aberdeen, keeping him at the club until 2016.

Jack has represented Scotland at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 level. He captained the Under-21 side and is on the top ten list for appearances at this level. In May 2013, he received a call-up to the full Scotland squad for the game against Croatia. Jack eventually made his full Scotland debut in a friendly against the Netherlands in November 2017, by which time he had moved from formative club Aberdeen to Rangers. The match happened to take place in Aberdeen, and in the opening stages he was booed whenever he touched the ball by some of the crowd, due to the rivalry between those clubs and the ill-feeling his transfer had stirred; other fans responded to this by cheering and applauding him. Jack made his first competitive start for Scotland in November 2019, forming a midfield partnership with Callum McGregor. He helped Scotland qualify for UEFA Euro 2020, but missed the finals due to a calf injury that required surgery. In contrast, he was selected for the Scotland squad for UEFA Euro 2024 despite taking part in few matches at club level in the months leading up to the tournament; he did not make an appearance in Germany as the team were eliminated at the group stage. In August 2024 he was left off the Scotland side for Nations League matches with Portugal and Poland.
