About the role
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.
As the Events and Field Marketing Lead at Canva, you will be at the forefront of shaping our B2B marketing strategy by overseeing the planning, execution, and optimization of events, field marketing initiatives, and webinars. This pivotal role demands a unique blend of strategic thinking and hands-on expertise. You will be responsible for developing innovative event concepts, creating impactful field marketing campaigns, and hosting engaging webinars that strengthen Canva’s presence and drive business growth.
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 stack 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 • Health benefits plans to support you and your wellbeing • 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution • 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
