Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Alongside our global campuses, we also collaborate with talented contractors and freelancers from all over the world to help us achieve our crazy big goals. While we support flexible, remote-friendly ways of working, for this role we're focusing on Sydney so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing.

This role is a 12-month engagement, working full time hours per week.

What you'd be doing in this role

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve. At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Leading global strategic content planning for World Class in Social Studies/History/HASS - including topic chunking, learning sequences, and resource prioritisation across grade levels
• Identifying curriculum gaps and determining the right production funnel (AI, localisation, EDU creators, partners) to fill them
• Prompting, designing, and reviewing AI-generated educational materials to ensure they meet Canva's content standards
• Briefing and reviewing new educational elements (illustrations, photos, videos, copy) for topic relevance, curriculum alignment, and grade-level appropriateness
• Creating EDU creator briefs and developing decision frameworks to guide content production workflows
• Working cross-functionally to embed new Canva capabilities into educational resources and support content health metrics by country

You're probably a match if

• You have hands-on experience creating engaging, curriculum-aligned resources for Social Studies and/or History — and you genuinely care about getting the content right
• You're comfortable working with AI tools and can craft effective prompts to generate high-quality educational materials at scale
• You can zoom out to lead content planning across multiple grade levels, then zoom back in to review a single brief for accuracy and clarity
• You thrive working cross-functionally and can proactively unblock issues to keep projects moving
• You have a strong grasp of what teachers and students actually need in the classroom, and you bring that lens to every piece of content you touch
