Product Designer - Imports & job at Canva

We’re constantly working towards making Canva the best place to work, for everyone. We believe deeply that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key for building the best product for our equally diverse community all around the world. We celebrate uniqueness and whatever makes you, you and encourage everyone who wants to help us transform the way the world designs, to join us on this journey. We value all different types of experiences. If you don’t think you quite meet all of the qualifications, we’d still love to hear from you.

About Us

At Canva, our mission is to democratise design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time.

Since launch in August 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 60 million monthly active users across 190 different countries who have created more than 6 Billion designs. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

One of the principles of our design team is to ‘show the future’. As designers we transport the rest of the company into a future we’re yet to build. A big part of the role of a product designer at Canva is to be a visionary—visualising and reinventing the future of design.

Product designers at Canva take the dream and make it something everyone can relate to and rally behind. We start from the very early stages: finding the right problem to tackle, exploring ideas for how to solve it and then refining it into a coherent solution. Our product designers carry out research, brainstorming, sketching, prototyping, and collaboration with our engineers to ship great products. We are empathetic user advocates and respect our users’ opinions through interviews, usability testing, and data analysis, as well as wireframing, flowcharting, and journey mapping to show the different stages that customers go through as they come into contact with Canva.

About the group you'll be joining

The Design Experience group at Canva is on a mission to build powerful, yet simple tools that empower anyone to design anything. We work on the core editing components and tools that people around the world use to design everything from social media graphics, to documents, to videos and more.

Within the Design Experience group are the Design Import and Client Platform teams, which you'll be working closely with:

The Design Import team takes Canva’s flexibility to the next level by enabling users to import external files and edit them seamlessly in Canva. Our work also empowers users to go a step further and take advantage of automated design suggestions that make their designs and documents stand out from the crowd.

The Client Platform team ensures that Canva users have a delightful experience on every device. We work on products that encompass all functionality spanning the whole product. We have built and continue to evolve the much-loved Canva desktop app and are working on a new experience for those with limited connectivity.

Audit the current experience for importing 3rd party files, the desktop app and limited connectivity experience to identify opportunities for improvement and quick wins.
Design and ship your first measurable improvement UX in Canva for each, helping to improve import usability and increase company critical metrics such as monthly active users and new user acquisition.
Partner with the lead Product Manager and Engineer on the Design Import and Client Platform teams to form a triad, and develop a long-term design vision.
Empower your team and other product designers to support the Design Import and Client Platform team missions by proactively collecting and sharing the voice of the user, via user feedback, usability testing and other qualitative and quantitative data.

Experience you'll have

A portfolio that demonstrates experience in product thinking where you have previously shipped UX/UI design for digital products —including web-based or native mobile experiences and a bonus desktop app experience.
You are a designer that is constantly inspired—motivating those around you through your passion and drive for what you do.
You are excited by regularly coming up with new ideas, shipping new products and features that address your users’ real needs.

You are eager to visually communicate your ideas through prototypes to test with users.

You appreciate big picture thinking. While details are everything, creating an experience that always keeps our users in mind is equally as important.
You are a problem solver that’s excited by a challenge. You enjoy sitting in a room and whiteboarding ideas to confidently come up with simple, elegant solutions that everyone can move forward with.
You are an empathetic user advocate that values the backing of research and data analysis when it comes to designing modern solutions.
You enjoy a little flexibility in your work. Our growth means there are constantly new things to work on every day, as such it’s likely that you’ll often be working across the board on new and exciting projects.
