Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, hello, hiya, 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

This role is based in Sydney, and we’re looking for someone who calls it home. Our hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely, and to come together on campus for meaningful collaboration and connection when it matters most. We trust our team to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

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. This will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working, but this will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • Driving a drumbeat of product storytelling: You'll develop and execute a year-round product storytelling strategy, identifying compelling angles that highlight the breadth of Canva's products, the problems we're solving, and the ways people use Canva to create, communicate, and collaborate.

  • Elevating Canva's product leaders: You'll build platforms for Canva's product leaders to share their expertise and vision, developing a mix of media opportunities, content, speaking engagements, and industry participation that strengthens Canva's reputation.

  • Building recognition for Canva's products: You'll lead Canva's global product reviews, rankings, and awards program, identifying opportunities to showcase our innovation, strengthen credibility, and earn recognition from the organisations and publications that matter most.

  • Shaping Canva's product narrative: You'll work closely with Product Marketing to evolve Canva's product messaging and positioning, ensuring our communications are clear, consistent, and aligned with the broader story of where Canva is headed.

  • Turning product insights into stories: You'll work closely with data teams to uncover trends, growth stories, product adoption milestones, and unique user behaviours, transforming insights into compelling narratives that showcase the momentum and impact of our products.

  • Supporting major product launches and announcements: You'll play a key role in bringing Canva's biggest product launches to life across earned and owned channels, partnering with product and marketing teams to deliver coordinated, high-impact moments.

You're probably a match if you have:

  • Strong experience in product, consumer technology, or technology communications, with a track record of developing compelling product stories and securing coverage across leading outlets.

  • A passion for great products and storytelling, with a knack for uncovering newsworthy angles and translating product innovation into stories that resonate with media and customers.

  • Experience partnering closely with Product Marketing teams, with the ability to translate product priorities, positioning, and launches into compelling communications strategies and stories.

  • A strong understanding of the product reviews and awards landscape, with experience securing recognition from leading publications, review platforms, analysts, and industry organisations.

  • Exceptional writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to craft compelling communications across a range of formats and audiences, from media pitches and press releases to spokesperson briefings, executive communications, reactive statements, and internal updates.

  • Experience partnering with senior leaders and spokespeople to prepare for media engagements, keynote presentations, customer events, and thought leadership opportunities.

  • Experience operating in fast-moving environments, taking ownership of complex work from strategy through execution, and bringing clarity to ambiguous situations.

About Canva

We're a global online visual communications platform on a mission to empower the world to design. Featuring a simple drag-and-drop user interface and a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, apparel to videos, plus a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, video footage, and audio clips, anyone can take an idea and create something beautiful on Canva on any device, from anywhere in the world.

Since our launch in 2013, we’ve had the crazy big goal of making design accessible to everyone. We were founded on the belief that people shouldn't need to understand complex software to unlock their creativity. We’re leveling the playing field and democratizing access to design and visual communication by empowering 100% of the world to communicate in a way that was once limited to the 1%.

We've always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our 'simple' two-step plan: to build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and to do the most good we possibly can. We're committed to our core value of Being a Force for Good, so as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world.
