Kamusta, 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.

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia, but with many of our Canvanauts calling the Philippines home, our office in Manila is a buzzing place. Whether your role needs you in the office, at home or a bit of both, we've created an environment that truly empowers you to thrive.
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.

You're probably a match if
You’re a graphic designer and creative problem-solver with at least 4 yrs experience.
You believe that there’s always a creative solution to a problem, you have an understanding of visual trends, an excellent eye for detail and have your finger on the pulse brand designs what’s currently trending in the business space. You understand typography, layout and have a sound knowledge of how photography, video, graphics, motion and audio work harmoniously in layout
You’re eager to learn and evolve.
You love a challenge and do your best work when you have a variety of different projects, alongside people with a mixture of skills and experiences. You’re inspired by opportunities to learn and grow.
You’re a fantastic communicator.
You love connecting, you’re comfortable in a brainstorm and happy to speak up and ask questions, even the seemingly silly ones. You enjoy giving and receiving feedback, and you’re not too precious about your work. You champion collaboration and are proactive and inclusive in group brainstorming
You’re organised, and a team player.
You understand the importance to hit deadlines, and offer suggestions to streamline and improve team processes. You love to work collaboratively and lean into sharing rather than holding onto information. You think and act as We, not Me.
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.
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.”

You’re a hustler! You are adaptable and can work independently juggling the delivery of design projects and producing high-quality content.
You’re unafraid to get your hands dirty! You’re a senior designer who can give out briefs, at the same time, create high-quality designs.
