About the Group/Team

CJKI

Canva’s mission is to empower the world to design. With over 220 million users today and an ambitious goal to reach 1 billion, hyper-localisation is critical to our success.

The CJKI Group plays a pivotal role in this journey. We are deeply committed to making Canva feel truly local across China, Japan, South Korea, and India—not just translated, but culturally resonant. By tailoring experiences to local expectations, behaviours, and ecosystems, we ensure Canva feels intuitive, relevant, and delightful for users in each market.

User Voice

Help and support at scale is a complex and exciting challenge. Canva’s User Voice team exists to surface insights that help prevent issues before they occur, while making getting help and inspiration simple for every user and every design. Guided by our mission—“Every user empowered, every voice heard”—we ensure that user feedback meaningfully shapes better experiences across Canva.

Our aspiration is for Canva’s help experience to be seamless, delightful, industry-leading, and highly effective at resolving user issues. We achieve this by driving innovation in service design—leveraging AI-first technologies, market-fit support channels, and expert human support where it adds the most value.

What you’ll do (responsibilities)

• Define and own the service strategy for CJKI, grounded in deep user insights and aligned with global User Voice processes.
• Translate the service vision into clear, actionable priorities and workstreams that improve the end-to-end support experience.
• Drive the execution of the service strategy while working with your local team and global teams, influencing planning cycles and leading cross-functional implementation across User Voice and the wider Canva organisation.
• Partner closely with regional and country leaders and key business stakeholders, shaping decisions on service strategy, major changes, and key initiatives. Run regular business reviews and drive decisions forward.
• Advocate for the voice of the customer, ensuring user insights and top loops inform priorities, planning, and decision-making.
• Drive strong service performance outcomes, including reducing customer effort, increasing satisfaction, service levels, and productivity.
• Lead and inspire your team - frontline support specialists, enablement teams, program managers, and product/ engineering teams, providing coaching, strategic direction, and clarity of purpose. Build and sustain a strong people culture, fostering engagement through team cohesion, in-office connection, Force for Good participation, and a shared sense of belonging.
