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 vibrant office in Manila, where many Canvanauts thrive in a buzzing hybrid environment. That means some days you'll be at home and some days in the office – whatever helps you do your best work.

What You'd Be Doing In This Role
As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA – and that's all part of the fun. So while this gives you the flavour of the role today, it will likely evolve.

  • Mentoring team leads and building leadership pipelines to fuel continuous growth and performance
  • Driving operational excellence through AI-empowered process improvements, tooling, and data-led decisions
  • Building strong cross-functional relationships to ensure cohesive execution of high-impact strategies

You're probably a match if

  • You bring strategic leadership thinking and analytical rigor to every challenge, with deep experience using data and insights to improve service outcomes
  • You're a systems thinker with a track record of optimizing workflows, processes, and service delivery models
  • You're a people-first leader who uplifts others, develops high-performing teams, and fosters cultures of accountability and collaboration
  • You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and influencing without formal authority – and know how to rally others behind a shared vision
  • You're curious, adaptable, and inspired by a mission to empower users and elevate experience
