Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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. But you have choice in where and how you work, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their 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. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Growing strategic public sector partnerships: Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across government, higher education, and not-for-profit organisations, helping them unlock more value from Canva.

• Driving adoption, retention, and growth: Develop success plans and account strategies that support customer goals, increase engagement, manage renewals, and identify expansion opportunities.

• Demonstrating Canva’s impact: Use product usage data, customer insights, and business outcomes to tell compelling value stories that influence decision-making and prove ROI.

• Navigating complex customer environments: Understand procurement cycles, funding models, governance requirements, stakeholder changes, and adoption risks, then build clear plans to keep partnerships on track.

• Partnering cross-functionally: Work with Sales, Product, Marketing, Education, Support, and other teams to champion public sector customer needs and shape how Canva supports this segment.

You're probably a match if

• You have strong customer success, account management, or strategic relationship experience, ideally with government, higher education, not-for-profit, or complex enterprise customers.

• You’re confident building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and navigating complex, multi-stakeholder organisations.

• You understand public sector environments, including procurement, funding cycles, governance, and the need to demonstrate clear impact.

• You’re commercially minded and can drive adoption, retention, renewal, growth, and accurate forecasting.

• You’re comfortable using data and customer insights to tell clear value stories and influence decisions.

• You’re a proactive, collaborative communicator who can simplify complexity and thrive in a fast-moving, evolving environment.
