We know it can be a tricky time applying for roles, wondering if the role is right for you and if you and your experience are right for the role too.

So if you don’t think you quite meet all of the skills listed, we’d still love to hear from you!

Be a Force for Good

We’re driven by our values, with our ‘Be a Force for Good’ value supporting everything that we do. Through your work on our product or team, and our community initiatives and sustainability programs, you’re given the opportunity to come to Canva and make a tangible difference to the lives of others in your day-to-day life. In addition to our Founder’s 30% Pledge, Canva is committed to Pledge 1% and actively encourage our team to participate in many ways, including taking paid volunteer leave.
