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

Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. For this role, you'll be part of our growing Manila hub, where we bring together Canvanauts in a dynamic, collaborative space. We also trust you to choose the balance that empowers you and your team to achieve your 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 role will give you a flavour of what you'll be working on when you start, but it will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Supporting day-to-day Procure-to-Pay operations to ensure seamless and timely processing of purchase requests, purchase orders, and invoices.
• Partnering with stakeholders across Finance and other teams to improve procurement workflows and compliance.
• Assisting with vendor onboarding, documentation checks, and ongoing supplier management.
• Contributing to continuous process improvements that help us scale procurement operations as Canva grows.
• Ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulatory requirements.

You're probably a match if

• You have relevant experience in procurement operations, accounts payable, or finance shared services
• You have hands-on experience in vendor management, including vendor onboarding, compliance documentation, and ongoing relationship management.
• You're confident in PO management — from creating and issuing purchase orders to monitoring approvals, tracking delivery, and resolving discrepancies.
• You're detail-oriented with strong organizational skills, and you thrive in fast-paced environments.
• You bring experience with ERP systems (e.g. Coupa, SAP, Oracle, or similar)
• You're proactive and enjoy finding ways to improve processes and make them more efficient 
• You're collaborative, a great communicator, and motivated to make an impact at scale.
• You're amenable to working on a shifting schedule
