Hello, 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

Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to hubs in Austin and San Francisco, which are now home to our US operations. This is a hybrid role based in Austin, Texas.

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.

• Driving our outbound sales strategy including shaping coverage models, ICP targeting, segmentation, and outreach playbooks that support high-velocity growth.
• Ensuring excellence in pipeline management, forecasting accuracy, and strong SPICED methodology adoption across qualification and opportunity progression.
• Partnering closely with Marketing, RevOps, Product, Customer Success, Growth, and Sales Leadership to align on territory planning, campaigns, market insights, and resource allocation.
• Identifying operational gaps and scaling processes, tooling, workflows, and reporting to support a world-class SMB revenue engine.

You're probably a match if

• You're an inspiring, empathetic leader who loves developing people and helping teams reach their full potential.
• You thrive in high-velocity sales environments and have 8–10 years of SaaS experience, including 3+ years managing SMB or outbound sales teams.
• You bring a structured approach to selling and are fluent in methodologies like SPICED, using them to coach teams toward repeatable success.

• You build scalable systems, whether that’s refining playbooks, enhancing tooling, or improving workflows that help teams operate at their best.
• You’ve worked across diverse markets, and may bring experience selling into or supporting teams across multiple European markets or distributed NA regions.
