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

The buzzing Canva London campus features several buildings around beautiful leafy Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. While our global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, London is our HQ for Europe, with all kinds of teams based here, plus event spaces to gather our team and communities. You'll experience a warm welcome from our Vibe team at front of house, amazing home cooked food from our Head Chef and a variety of workspaces to hang out with your team mates or get solo work done. That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work.

What you’d be doing in this role

At Canva, change is part of the fun. This role will evolve as our EMEA presence scales, but here’s what you’ll focus on to start.

As the Operations Business Partner for EMEA, you’ll be the connective tissue between country teams, central functions, and Canva-wide processes. Reporting to the International Leadership Ops, you’ll play a critical role in enabling operational excellence across our priority markets in the region.

You’ll shape and drive regional operating rhythms, lead goal tracking and reporting, and work across cross-functional teams to remove friction and unlock momentum. Whether supporting hiring, streamlining contracting workflows, or connecting regional plans with central teams like Payments or Legal, you’ll bring clarity and structure to a fast-evolving landscape.

This role is about enabling performance at scale - aligning teams, surfacing gaps and opportunities, and building systems that empower Canva to grow across borders.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Shaping regional operating rhythms: Design and lead operating cadences across EMEA—such as planning cycles, strategic reviews, and reporting check-ins. You’ll adapt global practices to local realities, bringing structure and clarity to a diverse and growing set of markets.
• Leading regional reporting and goal tracking: Own the frameworks that track progress across functions and countries. You’ll ensure goals are aligned across SEO, Content, Marketing, and Growth, and that regional reporting connects clearly to International Supergroup objectives.
• Driving regional cross-functional alignment: Facilitate coordination across local and global teams—ensuring regional priorities are integrated with global initiatives. You’ll play a central role in connecting the dots between Country Leads, product-aligned teams like Search & Discovery, and global functions like Marketing and Content.
• Enabling business continuity across operational constraints: Partner closely with Legal, Procurement, and Finance to streamline contracting and invoicing in markets without legal entities. You’ll help design and evolve lightweight processes that enable the region to operate smoothly and compliantly. You’ll also act as a proactive liaison between EMEA and central functions like Payments, Legal, and People, helping regional teams navigate internal processes while advocating for regional needs in global forums.
• Supporting strategic hiring and team growth: Work with Talent Acquisition and Country Leads to drive hiring operations in the region. From role scoping to onboarding, you’ll build repeatable systems that make hiring efficient and scalable.
• Scaling systems and infrastructure: Identify opportunities to streamline and standardise how work gets done across EMEA. You’ll lead cross-functional efforts to reduce friction, drive operational maturity, and lay the foundations for long-term growth in the region.

You're probably a match if

• Bring senior experience in Strategy, Program Management, or Regional Operations in a global, high-growth environment
• Know how to lead through ambiguity - building clarity, trust, and momentum even when formal processes are limited
• Have a strong systems mindset and can balance structure with flexibility in fast-changing environments
• Navigate central teams and processes confidently, while advocating for regional needs and context
• Communicate clearly, visually and verbally, to align teams and move work forward
• Demonstrate high judgment, strong collaboration skills, and a bias toward action
• Thrive in dynamic environments where no two days look the same
• Able to build relationships and rapport fast and constantly expand internal networks
• You learn fast and you're curious — you're always looking for better ways to work, and you actively leverage tools like AI to improve the quality and speed of what you deliver
