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.

You’ll also work with the rest of the content design team to tackle problems we’re all facing, so we can continue to build a robust, thriving specialty within User Voice and across Canva!
  • Strategy and leadership: User Voice has a complex ecosystem of content across many channels. You'll use your head for strategy to connect the user experience together with the right information, at the right time, to the right person. You will seen as a leader for content design thinking in the help space.
  • Collaboration: You'll partner with people across the group to design end-end help flows, fine-tune information architecture, build AI-driven tools, and work with teams to deliver content design for our user-facing products.
  • Results: Your frictionless and friendly copy isn’t just for show – it’ll move the needle on the metrics that matter at Canva and within User Voice like contact rate, CSAT and successful self-help sessions.
  • Collaboration: You’ll bring design, PMs, engineers and researchers together to find the best solutions for our users.

  • You’ve got a love for qualitative and quantitative research and usability testing and aren’t afraid to dive in and deeply understand some of our top contact drivers.
  • You’re excited about what AI can offer in the world of content design and are ready to work closely with our machine learning engineers to fine-tune how we create, structure and store our help content.
  • You're also excited by the opportunity to contribute to a rapidly growing and critical function of Canva and recognize the impact that can come from improving the help experience for millions of people around the world.
  • You have incredible UX writing skills and an impressive content design portfolio and are a stickler for brand voice, consistency and style. You know the right tone to use when people feel stuck or have an issue.
