  • Bringing cultural relevance and a creator’s lens to Canva’s product thinking.
  • Partnering across marketing, product and engineering to deliver delightful mobile-first, video-led experiences.
  • Strengthening our presence in the creator ecosystem through partnerships and community engagement.

  • Strong instinct for what’s cool, relevant and on-trend – ideally with direct creator experience.
  • Experience leading mobile product teams, with a sharp eye for performance, UX and content.
  • You are passionate about the user and building delightful user experiences, particularly for enterprise and professional segments.
  • You are a coach and builder who is hands-on, humble, and thrives in ambiguity.
  • You have a track record of delivering impact through user growth and revenue.
  • You are comfortable leading through complexity, influencing across teams and orgs.
