Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and remarkable growth trajectory - we're out to change the world, one design at a time.

About the team
Canva's in-house creative team is on a mission to make Canva the most loved brand in the world. We work from concept to creation on world-class creative across brand communications, marketing campaigns, editorial content and production.
As part of this team you'll help create a brand that communicates our purpose, defines perception and awareness locally and globally, and puts a spotlight on our diverse community- ensuring they receive a human, inspiring and empowering experience.
We move fast here at Canva, and this role will certainly keep you on your toes. We are looking for someone who loves to get stuff done. You're who we want to work with if you can balance your brilliant creative streak with ruthless prioritisation that moves projects rapidly along.
We believe in attracting and nurturing world-class talent with a focus on diversity, community, career development - and doing the best work of our lives.
About you
Comfortable with chaos. You can find solutions even without perfect precedents or direction, and map out a path to clarity and execution. You can work out ways to achieve the impossible and ride through change like a boss.
Eager to learn and evolve. From creative craft to leadership skills to market trends - you never stop pushing into the next big challenge. You work alongside people who are better than you at some things. To you this isn't a threat, but an inspiring opportunity to learn and grow.
You think and act as We, not Me. We're all in this together. You love nothing more than to collaborate and build trusted relationships with your team, ensuring everyone is empowered to do the best work of their life, and having the best time doing it.
Right brain, left brain. Your head is in the clouds while your feet are on the ground. You balance creative and strategic excellence, flipping between big picture thinking and pixel-perfect craft without jeopardizing the quality of either.
You're a fantastic communicator. Your communication skills help you work cross-functionally with other teams. You brainstorm concepts and facilitate workshops. You give and receive constructive feedback and can clearly articulate how creative work can be improved, mentoring others to deliver their best work.
A bias for action. You're happy to roll up your sleeves and muck in. No task is too small (or big!) if it helps the team around you to be more effective, and rallies them to achieve their goals faster.
Always striving for your best. You're a talented creative with amazing design chops, yet you never stop pursuing excellence in yourself and in your work - "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best."
