Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Kamusta, 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, Australia, but with many of our Canvanauts calling the Philippines home, our office in Manila is a buzzing place. Whether your role needs you in the office, at home or a bit of both, we've created an environment that truly empowers you to thrive.

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:

  • Communication & Inclusion: Own the end-to-end delivery of PH regional cadences and events, ensuring all working models — including overnight and shift-based teams — experience equitable engagement with company-wide programs.

  • PH Leadership Support: Establish and sustain a high-functioning PH leadership operating rhythm, creating the connective tissue needed for aligned, effective site leadership.

  • Regional Connective Tissue: Build the frameworks and relationships that bridge the PH site with global organisations, reducing coordination gaps for the many PH-based employees who report to managers outside the Philippines.

  • PH Ops Connector: Act as the central connector across the local PH Ops team, fostering cohesion, shared knowledge, and strong cross-functional partnerships

You're probably a match if

  • You bring experience in operations, program management, or a team-enabling role — ideally within a large, fast-paced, or multi-site environment.

  • You have proven change management and communications experience, with the ability to design for diverse and distributed audiences.

  • You’re a strong collaborator who builds trust across levels and functions, from site leadership to frontline teams.

  • You have exceptional prioritisation skills and can manage multiple complex programs simultaneously.

  • You’re detail-oriented with a drive for operational excellence and process efficiency.

  • You’re a self-starter who takes initiative, works autonomously, and brings others along with you.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Here's a taste of what's on offer:

  • Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too

  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers

  • An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more

  • Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
