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.

Where and how you can work

The buzzing Canva London campus features several buildings around beautiful leafy Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. While our global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, London is our HQ for Europe, with all kinds of teams based here, plus event spaces to gather our team and communities. You'll experience a warm welcome from our Vibe team at front of house, amazing home cooked food from our Head Chef, Molly, and a variety of workspaces to hang out with your team mates or get solo work done. That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work.

When you join our team in the UK, you'll also be joining forces with Flourish, who we acquired in 2022 and is an exciting part of our Canva product. Flourish enables everyone to change the way they tell stories with data by creating rich, animated data visualisations and other interactive content that can be embedded anywhere - including in Canva!

• You get a kick out of collaborating, and bring excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills.

• You bring a high sense of agency - you’re comfortable making decisions and are goal oriented.

• You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and can manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• You're familiar with design or marketing tools, and an understanding of the SaaS industry being a plus.

• You have experience with Salesforce, Outreach Tools and cold calling.
