Job Description
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:
- Working deep in an ambiguous problem space, Search. Using your UX skills, you’ll navigate from chaos to clarity and help your team in imagining innovative solutions to real user problems. You’ll help guide your team and stakeholders through a complex problem space by focusing on our users’ needs, as well as our strategic priorities as a business.
- Using your UI and interaction design skills to build intuitive, delightful experiences for users. You’ll use flows, mockups, and prototypes to visually communicate your ideas both to end users and internal teams, and you’ll be sweating the details to keep Canva’s quality bar high in everything you create.
- Connecting and communicating with a wide variety of stakeholders from both inside and outside your supergroup, building alignment and securing buy-in on your team’s ideas and direction.
- Working within a close-knit design team and contributing to building our design culture within the Discovery group.
You're probably a match if you have
- End-to-end Product Design experience. You've designed and shipped multiple products or features across various platforms.
- Search experience. While it's not essential, experience with Search or Discovery products is a definite bonus.
- A highly collaborative approach. You're happiest when working closely with other Designers, Engineers and Product Managers. You value feedback and brainstorming ideas.
- A problem-first mindset. You're obsessed with identifying gaps/opportunities and enjoy deeply investigating ambiguous problems.
- Strong data Fluency. You love using data to evaluate user problems, inform your design solutions and measure success.
- Strong engineering literacy. You love working with engineers and solving complex technical problems.
- Experience conducting user research and usability testing. You're skilled in turning the outcomes into data to drive your design solutions.
- Excellent UI Design skills. You're driven to create strong visual designs that align with brand and design systems.
- A growth Mindset. You're eager to learn and develop your skills whilst having fun along the way!
