Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
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 office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to hubs in Austin and San Francisco, which are now home to our US operations. So whether you're in Texas or California, you have choice in where and how you work in each of those states. 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:

• Strategic Oversight: Develop and implement comprehensive program management strategies for B2B workstreams, aligning them with Canva's overall business purpose and marketing goals.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Marketing, Sales, Product, and Customer Success, to ensure alignment and cohesion in B2B initiatives.
• Project Planning and Execution: Plan, lead, and oversee the execution of all B2B projects within the Marketing supergroup, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and within budget.
• Risk Management: Identify potential risks, issues, and roadblocks in B2B projects and develop mitigation plans to address them effectively, ensuring smooth progress.
• Collaborator Communication: Facilitate clear and concise communication with collaborators at all levels, providing regular updates on project status, breakthroughs achieved, and challenges faced.
• Reporting & Performance Analysis: Implement robust tracking and reporting mechanisms to measure the performance and impact of B2B initiatives, using data-motivated insights to optimise strategies. Present these findings in monthly business reviews (MBRs), collating progress on B2B initiatives across the org
• Process Optimisation: Continuously evaluate existing processes, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing standard processes to enhance operational efficiency and project delivery.
• Leadership: Coach and mentor a small team of program managers to ensure all projects across B2B workstreams are running smoothly
• Budget Management: Oversee the budget of B2B marketing, including budget allocation, expenditure tracking, and cost control measures. Ensure projects are implemented within allocated budgets, making strategic decisions to optimise resources and achieve desired outcomes while enhancing cost-efficiency.

You're probably a match if:

• Proven Experience: Minimum 7 years of experience in global program management, with a focus on B2B marketing initiatives within the SaaS industry.
• Leadership Skills: Demonstrated ability to lead and inspire cross-functional teams, driving collaboration, innovation, and results.
• Strategic Problem solver: Exceptional strategic attitude with the ability to develop and implement program management strategies aligned with business goals.
• Exceptional Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas and concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
• Analytical Approach: Proven analytical skills, with the ability to analyse data, identify trends, and make data-motivated decisions to optimise B2B initiatives.
• Problem-Solving: Proven track record of identifying challenges, developing effective solutions, and implementing process improvements.
