Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, hello, hiya, 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, Australia but we’re growing our regional team in India as a part of our Truly Local approach. While we don’t yet have an office in India, our team is welcome to work remotely!

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:

  • Playing a key role in establishing our communications function in India whilst supporting our international expansion and overall communications strategy as we broaden our program to support priority growth markets.
  • Bringing a local and creative lens while anchoring messaging and execution to our global strategy.

  • Ensuring a regular drumbeat of communications activity with the goal of driving awareness, adoption, and understanding of Canva in key markets across the India & Indonesian region.

You’re probably a match if

  • You have extensive experience leading communications programs across India, with experience across both corporate and consumer communications. Experience in other APAC markets would be an advantage, though this is not a requirement.
  • You can work autonomously while juggling multiple deadlines and managing various stakeholders, including agency partners across the regions.
  • You have a proven track record of managing agency partners in multiple markets, as well as a deep understanding of the nuances and cultural intricacies of the local regions
  • You have demonstrated experience influencing stakeholders and adapting global communications strategies to resonate with local markets.
  • Experience in public policy and crisis communication would be advantageous; though this is not a requirement.
  • Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who can champion and evangelize our values and culture –– alignment to these values as well as a genuine interest in our mission and vision is critical for this role.

Our work takes many forms and no two days are ever the same. Your work will reach diverse audiences including our global team, journalists, knowledge workers, consumers, analysts and partners.

From managing local agencies to creating and executing large-scale B2C and B2B campaigns or localizing our corporate strategies at a regional level, you’ll be responsible for driving awareness, adoption, and understanding of Canva in India and Indonesia.
