As a Contract or Freelancer at Canva, you can work fully remotely in the country outlined above, meaning you have ultimate flexibility. Wherever works for you, works for us.
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.

Collaborating closely with the Mexico Content Specialist, you’ll focus on localising English pages, optimising for target keywords, and maintaining high technical hygiene.

- You’ll drive the development and implementation of the SEO Strategy for Canva in Mexico and lead all aspects of SEO including technical SEO, content generation and management, link building, and landing page launch and optimisation.
- You’ll build and lead a team of seasoned SEO experts, including Content and Outreach Specialists.
- You'll become an expert in the search landscape for relevant niches within the Mexican market relevant to Canva, develop a comprehensive understanding of competitors, and identify areas of opportunity.
- You’ll maintain a deep understanding of the vision and priorities for SEO in Mexico, how they fit into broader i18n SEO Group and company goals and strategies and prioritise a backlog of activity within the market accordingly.
- You'll work with content specialists and the localisation team to produce or translate the required content for the pages, then build and launch the pages in the Canva CMS.

- Someone who can demonstrate successful outcomes from previous SEO projects on large websites (500 pages or more) that they have led.
- Someone with a good understanding of each of the three 'pillars' of SEO; content, technical and link building, and how they work together.
- Someone who can build a vision for delivering exceptionally high growth in Mexico and work independently to execute the necessary tasks to achieve that vision, solving their own problems where possible along the way.
- We're a large team that relies on tried-and-tested processes to execute tasks quickly and efficiently. As such, this role will suit an SEO Lead with high attention to detail and the ability to closely follow detailed written instructions.
