Role

Who you are

This role is ideal for someone who:
Understands and thrives within AI-assisted creative workflows
Thinks in systems, templates, and scalable design structures
Wants to be part of a transformational shift in how creative work gets done
Experience with structured design systems or reusable templates
Strong graphic design and production skills with a sharp eye for layout, hierarchy, and clarity
Proficiency in tools like Figma and Canva, including components, variables, and plugins
A mindset focused on repeatability, patterns, and scalability
Comfort working with AI-assisted creative processes
Excellent collaboration and communication skills—you’ll be partnering across design, content, and marketing

What the job involves

We’re looking for a Creative Design Operator—a creative thinker who works within systems, not someone who builds them from scratch.
This isn’t a traditional graphic design role, and it’s not a technical one either
You’ll collaborate closely with our marketing and design teams to transform campaign content and brand standards into reusable, scalable design components
You won’t write code or build the tools—but you will structure and operate the templates that feed into them
This role designs structured templates for repeatable use
Enables others—AI tools or human teammates—to quickly create on-brand assets
Focuses on scale, reliability, and system-thinking
Helps shape the design systems, but doesn’t build or own the tooling
This is an operational role with a creative heart—focused more on building the rules of the system than designing every piece yourself
You'll create scalable templates for ads, banners, landing pages, and other marketing assets—structured for reuse, not one-offs
Use existing tools and platforms to organize design assets and inputs that flow into automated or AI-assisted processes
Work with marketers and content creators to transform campaign messaging into repeatable, scalable creative formats
Offer insight into what’s working and what’s not in current workflows. Help guide improvements—without owning the tool development
Refine templates over time to stay aligned with brand evolution and ensure clarity, consistency, and usability

Application process

Please share your portfolio and/or links to your work. We’d especially love to see your work where you’ve leveraged AI! *

Our take

Tucows had dedicated itself, and its subsidiaries, to ensuring the internet stays open, accessible, and connected. The company is made up of three subsidiaries, Tucows Domains (the world’s second-largest domain registrar and reseller), Ting Internet (high-speed fiber internet provider), and Wavelo (telecom SaaS for CSPs).

Tucows’ technology supports hundreds of thousands of companies around the globe, as such, the company has seen substantial growth over the last few years, rapidly expanding operations into new markets in conjunction with the optimization and development of its award-winning services. The company announced a $40 million buyback program of its common stock which ran from February 2023 to February 2024. It hopes to see its growth continue to flourish over the coming years, and it seems well set to do so.
