WHO WE ARE

Welcome to TELUS Digital https://www.telusdigital.com/— where innovation drives impact at a global scale. As an award-winning digital product consultancy and the digital division of TELUS https://www.telus.com/en/, one of Canada’s largest telecommunications providers, we design and deliver transformative customer experiences through cutting-edge technology, agile thinking, and a people-first culture.

With a global team across North America, South America, Central America, Europe, Africa, and APAC, we offer end-to-end expertise across eight core service areas: Digital Product Consulting, Digital Marketing Services, Data & AI, Strategy Consulting, Business Operations Modernization, Enterprise Applications, Cloud Engineering, and QA & Test Engineering.

From mobile apps and websites to voice UI, chatbots, AI, customer service, and in-store solutions, TELUS Digital enables seamless, trusted, and digitally powered experiences that meet customers wherever they are — all backed by the secure infrastructure and scale of our multi-billion-dollar parent company.

LOCATION AND FLEXIBILITY

This is a hybrid role where you'll work from our Porto Alegre office three days per week or twelve days per month. This setup promotes in-person innovation, collaboration, and connection with both local and visiting team members from other offices. Our flexible approach ensures that you can work from different locations while still enjoying the benefits of office culture. The role may require travel based on project needs.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As a Design Director, you'll lead a team of approximately 8 designers within our design practice of approximately 90 designers. This is a unique opportunity to lead and directly influence creative direction without becoming removed from the design work itself. You'll work on projects involving emerging technology, including AI and agentic pipelines, and multimodal experience design. You'll design and build with AI tools as part of your regular work, and you'll be responsible for leading the adoption of those practices across your team.

We understand our responsibility to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive place within the tech industry, while pushing to make our industry more representative. Because of this responsibility, we need candidates who value diversity and inclusion through their work, team collaboration, mentorship experience, and thought leadership. In your cover letter, tell us how you have supported diversity, equity, and inclusion in your work, such as through team practices, mentorship, or design decisions. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, and we particularly encourage women, Black and Indigenous people, LGBTQIA+ people, and people with disabilities to apply.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Set project direction from initial concept through prototyping, including hands-on development of coded prototypes using AI tools.

- Provide meaningful guidance on everything from client communication to detailed design execution

- Help designers push out of their comfort zone to create the best work of their careers

- Connect design decisions to the client's business outcomes, and identify opportunities to expand the work beyond the current scope

- Collaborate and build relationships with cross-disciplinary teams such as product, engineering, content, and project management to orchestrate a smooth project experience for our clients and teams

- Define conceptual and visual direction for well-known brands

- Validate your design decisions through user feedback, quantitative insights, and evolving best practices

- Build relationships with clients and navigate your team through challenges that may interfere with executing the best product possible

- Present design work to clients throughout all phases of the process, including executive reviews and new business pitches

- Be accountable for the quality of all client-facing work produced by your team

- Identify account risks early and propose plans to address them

- Contribute to the development of the design practice through critiques, frameworks, and training

- 80% of your time will be spent working with your fellow designers on mission-critical projects with Fortune 500 clients

- 20% of your time will be spent managing your team, including regular 1:1s, setting expectations, giving feedback, and managing performance

QUALIFICATIONS

- 10+ years in the design industry

- You've shipped products that impact thousands of users or more, and most recently you've been leading design teams

- A portfolio is required. It must demonstrate work of the highest quality: taste, high standards of craft, attention to detail, and the outcomes your work achieved for users and the business. Projects you've built yourself, including with AI tools, can be included

- Solid understanding of the product development process, from problem definition to working software

- You have strong opinions about visual and user experience design while remaining flexible to new or differing perspectives

- Hands-on experience building with AI tools such as Claude Code and Figma Make, including working prototypes or code contributed to a product

- Working knowledge of Git, including branches and pull requests

- Understanding of front-end architecture, including components, state, and design tokens

- This role combines people management with hands-on design and build work. Both are required

- Experience connecting design decisions to business outcomes, and explaining trade-offs and commercial impact to senior client stakeholders

- Experience presenting complex ideas and design recommendations to senior client stakeholders and team members, including executive reviews and new business pitches

- Experience managing the performance of designers, including giving direct feedback and addressing underperformance

- You love working with clients, and they love working with you. You're empathetic to their needs and can bring solutions if problems arise

- Fluent professional English. CEFR C2 preferred

- Experience working with international clients is a plus

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
