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. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.
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, which will likely evolve over time.

You will revolutionise how our customers edit videos in Canva This is an exciting opportunity to revamp and redesign our video editor to provide the best-in-class editing experiences. You'll lead research efforts, drawing insights to inspire fresh ideas and strategy to enhance the current user experience.You will get your hands dirty and directly solve tricky user interface and interaction design problems in the video space by creating mockups and prototypes.
  • Collaboration. Facilitate workshops or collaborative design sessions. Bring together cross-functional peers to align on shared patterns and simplification in the video and multimedia space.
  • Stakeholder Management. Communicate directly and frequently with Canva's founders and other product leadership to keep them informed, involved and in full support of critical design changes. This commonly includes both in-person sessions and frequent async updates via decks.
  • Strategy and planning. Work closely with the team's product manager and lead engineer to ensure the team vision is clear, and all initiatives are broken into valuable but achievable milestones. Collaborate with your triad to create game-plans, milestone plans and other artefacts to align internally on the team and communicate outwardly to the company.
  • Communication. You create clarity through your communication by making complex things simple. You can confidently present your ideas and tell a compelling story to the broader team.

  • Pragmatism. You know when to be scrappy to get something delivered, and when to push back to really uncover the root user need.
  • Strong engineering literacy. You love working with engineers and solving complex technical problems.
