Lead Product Designer – Magic Design (Ai)

Job Description

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. 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. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you’re near one), at home or a bit of both, it’s up to you.

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 early-stage product definition, using your UX skills to navigate from chaos to clarity and to help your team imagine innovative solutions to real user problems. You’ll help guide your team 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.
• Collaborating closely with experts in the AI/ML space, designing innovative experiences by connecting technical opportunities to user needs.
• Connecting and communicating with a wide variety of partners 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.
• Problem-first approach. You’re obsessed with identifying gaps/opportunities and enjoy deeply investigating ambiguous problems.
• Effective Communication skills. You create clarity through your communication by making complex things simple. You can confidently present your ideas and tell a compelling story to the broader team.
• Pragmatism. You know when to be scrappy to get something delivered, and when to push back to really uncover the root user need
• Excellent 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.
• Growth Mindset. You’re eager to learn and develop your skills whilst having fun along the way.
