Director, Operational Transformation Capability

Who We Are

Welcome to TELUS Digital — where innovation drives impact at a global scale. As an award-winning digital product consultancy and the digital division of TELUS, 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.

In January 2023, TELUS Digital acquired Willow Tree, creating a combined firm with service offerings spanning Customer Experience and Digital Solutions.

With a global team across North America, South America, Central America, Europe, 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.

This role will operate remotely in the United States or Canada OR be based out of one of our major North American office locations - Charlottesville, VA, Durham, NC, Columbus, OH, and Boston, MA
