Job Description

Teachers of Tomorrow is seeking an experienced Instructional Graphic Designer to create a reusable library of brand-aligned visual assets for an online learning program.

The role focuses on developing editable Canva templates, icons, graphics, diagrams, and other visual elements that course developers, instructional designers, and content teams can reuse across multiple courses. This is not a traditional marketing design or full-course development role; the focus is creating a practical, scalable visual system that enables non-designers to produce cohesive, learner-friendly content efficiently.

• Design reusable instructional assets and editable Canva templates.
• Apply established brand standards, including approved colors, typography, imagery, logos, and visual guidelines.
• Create flexible templates that are easy for non-designers to update and reuse.
• Collaborate with curriculum, content, and project teams to identify design needs and standardization opportunities.
• Develop icons, illustrations, graphics, image treatments, callouts, and visual accents.
• Create course banners, module headers, lesson graphics, worksheets, job aids, learner guides, and workbook templates.
• Design process diagrams, infographics, comparison charts, timelines, concept maps, and other information-design assets.
• Organize templates and assets using scalable naming and file-structure standards.
• Incorporate stakeholder feedback while maintaining brand consistency, usability, and accessibility.
• Apply strong visual hierarchy, readability, and accessibility practices to all deliverables.

Key deliverables will include a clearly organized Canva asset library, editable master templates, file-organization standards, basic usage guidance, and a cohesive visual system that supports a consistent learner experience across courses.

Requirements

• At least two years of professional graphic design experience.
• Advanced Canva proficiency, including template development and Canva Brand Kits.
• Experience working within established brand guidelines and visual systems.
• A strong portfolio featuring reusable templates, asset libraries, icons, infographics, or information design.
• Ability to translate complex concepts into clear, engaging, learner-friendly visuals.
• Strong understanding of visual hierarchy, accessibility, readability, and layout.
• Ability to create flexible templates that non-designers can easily maintain.
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple deliverables.

Preferred Experience

• Design experience in online learning, training, workforce development, K–12, higher education, professional education, or educational publishing.
• Experience supporting instructional design, curriculum development, or content teams.
• Familiarity with adult learning principles and educational content development.
• Experience creating scalable design systems or shared asset libraries.
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign.
