Senior Brand Designer
BiblioCommons is a Toronto based software company that builds SaaS solutions for public libraries. Located in the heart of the tech district at Spadina and Adelaide, we have a team of 80+ people who are passionate about making public libraries accessible, delightful and engaging.

We’re growing rapidly, and are on the hunt for people who are excited about the opportunity to shape the digital future of libraries. Designers at BiblioCommons are strategic partners not just with our technology and product teams here in Toronto, but with our library customers across North America.
