Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, merhaba, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!
Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be time-consuming, so let’s get straight to the point.

At Canva, we create tools that empower the world to design. Our mission is to democratise design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform! Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture, and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time.

Since Canva’s launch in August 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing 220 million active users across 190 different countries who have created more than 15 Billion designs. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we are capable of!

Where and how you can work
While we support flexible, remote-friendly ways of working, for this role we’re focusing on Istanbul so we can best support our teams and keep collaboration flowing.

What you’d be doing in this role
This isn’t about translating global work - it’s about making Canva famous in Turkey by building campaigns and social content that feel unmistakably local and unmistakably Canva. You’ll bring Turkish culture, humour, and community-driven storytelling into the heart of our marketing.

At the moment, this role is focused on:
• Creating and executing culturally resonant brand campaigns across TV, digital, social, and influencer platforms
• Leading our Turkey-first brand strategy and creative platform
• Owning and elevating Canva Turkey’s social media narrative and content
• Building meaningful influencer and celebrity partnerships that spark talkability
• Partnering with local agencies and cross-functional teams for seamless execution
• Driving brand fame, unaided awareness, social shareability, and cultural relevance

You're probably a match if you:
• Have extensive experience in brand, creative, or integrated marketing, ideally in a high-growth or culturally driven brand
• Are deeply fluent in Turkish culture, humour, media habits and digital behaviour ​​​​​​
• Speak both Turkish and English fluently
• Have built or led major brand campaigns that blended TV, social, influencers, and celebrity integration
• Know what great social-first creative looks like and how to brief, direct and assess content that performs
• Thrive on collaboration, leading agencies and cross-functional teams with clarity and creative excellence
• Use insights and performance signals to continuously optimise campaigns
• Bring an ownership mindset

About the team
You’ll be joining Canva’s Turkey Country Team, a high-impact group leading local growth across brand, community, growth marketing, social and more. You’ll collaborate closely with our Global Brand, Creative, Media, and Social teams, and lead a tight ecosystem of local agencies. This is one of Canva’s highest-potential markets and you’ll play a key role in making it one of the most loved.

What's in it for you?
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Here's a taste of what's on offer:
• Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
• Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
• An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
• Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
