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:

• Defining early-stage products using your UX skills to navigate complexity and identify innovative solutions to real user problems. You'll prioritise our users' needs and strategic business goals, guiding your team through the process.
• Creating intuitive and delightful user experiences through your UI and interaction design skills. You'll utilise flows, mockups, and prototypes to communicate your ideas to both internal teams and end-users. You'll also be sweating the details to keep Canva’s quality bar high in everything you create.
• Designing innovative experiences by collaborating with AI/ML experts, connecting technical opportunities to user needs.
• Communicating and building alignment with partners across your supergroup, securing buy-in on your team's ideas and direction.
• Contributing to building our design culture within the User Voice supergroup by working closely with our design team.

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.
• A highly Collaborative Approach. You're happiest when working closely with other Designers, Engineers and Product Managers. You value feedback and brainstorming ideas.
• A Problem-first mindset. You're obsessed with identifying gaps/opportunities and enjoy deeply investigating ambiguous problems.
• Experience driving the vision of a complex product or feature. You love big-picture thinking and coming up with innovative solutions to the problem.
• 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.
• Excellent engineering literacy. You love working with engineers and solving complex technical problems.
• Interaction Design Experience. You're able to use the appropriate prototyping tools to demonstrate how a particular flow or interaction will work
• Growth Mindset. You're eager to learn and develop your skills whilst having fun along the way!
