North American telecom and media operator with 1.6M customers across Canada and US
Cogeco operates a two-way broadband fiber network serving residential and business customers through its Cogeco Connexion and Breezeline divisions, supplemented by a radio and news media arm. The hiring surge is concentrated in marketing (40 open roles) and operations (28), with minimal engineering investment — a pattern typical of mature telecom operators managing customer acquisition and vendor relationships rather than building product. Active projects center on process automation, vendor management, and multi-year infrastructure planning, while pain points cluster around customer churn, reskilling for emerging tech, and compliance complexity across provincial and US state jurisdictions.
