Hey, 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, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

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:

  • Driving partner app store campaigns end-to-end, including coordinating copy and creative development, publishing content across partner platforms, and pulling together post-campaign performance analysis

  • Briefing and project managing creative asset development with freelance designers across campaign and ad hoc requests

  • Supporting the planning and delivery of external stakeholder summits by bringing together the right resources, insights, and cross-functional input from across Canva

  • Owning partnership campaign calendars across platforms and markets to keep programs aligned, visible, and running smoothly

  • Assessing partner early access and beta programs to identify the highest-impact opportunities and balance them against competing priorities

  • Collaborating closely with partner stakeholders on editorial features and ensuring all assets go through review and approval processes

  • Building strong relationships with internal and external partners to help unlock new growth opportunities and improve execution over time

You're probably a match if

  • You have experience in partnerships, business development, campaign management, and/or relationship management

  • You’ve supported growth, acquisition, or go-to-market initiatives, with mobile growth experience a big plus

  • You’re highly organised and comfortable managing multiple campaigns, stakeholders, and timelines at once

  • You’re a strong communicator who can build trust and keep projects moving across cross-functional teams

  • You’re analytical and curious, with the ability to turn campaign results and partner opportunities into clear recommendations

  • You’re proactive, adaptable, and energised by working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can evolve
