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:

• Building the best-in-class Collaboration experiences.

• Iterating. You’ll gather learnings to iterate through the use of research and data—we have a close relationship with our users which enables us to unearth valuable insights to improve their experience.
• Prioritisation. You’ll collaborate with your triad to ensure your team always prioritises the most valuable features.

You’re probably a match if

• You have strong visual communication skills. You have experience communicating ideas and information that visually inspire, influence and tell a compelling story.
• You have a collaborative approach. You have experience working closely with other Designers, Engineers and Product Managers. You value feedback and brainstorming ideas.
• You have experience conducting user research and usability testing. You’re skilled in turning the outcomes from research into data to drive your design solutions.
• You have Interaction Design Experience. You’re able to use the appropriate prototyping tools to demonstrate how a particular flow or interaction will work.
• You excel in UI Design. You have experience creating strong visual designs that align with brand and design systems.
• You love stakeholder Management. You have experience dealing with broad stakeholder groups and know when to bring the right people together to achieve common goals.
• Growth Mindset. You’re eager to learn and develop your skills whilst having fun along the way!
