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.
Our flagship Sydney campus is uniquely Canva - an extension of our Surry Hills neighbourhood. It’s a thoughtfully designed space with plenty of room to collaborate, focus, and connect.
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 in-person collaboration and connection when it matters most. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
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:
Reporting into Platform TPM, this role will sit in the Central Data Team which works shoulder to shoulder with embedded Data Science and Analytics Engineering teams while also owning the data work that benefits the whole business but doesn't belong to any single Supergroup: capability uplift (especially AI), centralised tooling, automation and agentic build, and cross-subspecialty initiatives.
Technical Program Management is the delivery engine for Data’s hardest cross-cutting work: programs too complex or cross-functional for any single embedded team to own, like data governance and classification, access control spanning Legal and Security, and delivering data infrastructure that is AI Ready.
You'll take a rough, high-altitude mandate from Data leadership and turn it into a locked plan with named owners, milestones and a tracking cadence, then hold that plan together as scope shifts and priorities change. The work is genuinely ambiguous: workstreams are interconnected, requirements are often still being negotiated by other functions, and you'll frequently be the only person with visibility across all the moving parts. You'll partner with stakeholders across the business including Data Platform, Data Science, Engineering, Legal, Security, Product and Growth.
A meaningful share of this portfolio is foundational rather than one-off: work like mapping the access-control landscape, data classification and tagging, and creating AI ready infrastructure. This is work that enables every team building on Canva's data to move faster from day one.

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.
