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 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.

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.

Defining the foundations, guidelines and framework for all settings pages, taking into account all existing and near future requirements (user data, legal, marketing, product, and organisational needs), establish systems-thinking principles and guidelines to define how settings pages are navigated, structured and shared between groups. Increasing consistency and speed-to-market for other teams shipping features, through self-serve guidance.

Seamless authentication for organisations through relevant authentication flows (Single Sign-On (SSO), account access, roles and permissions etc), allowing users to have both a work and personal account, further improving the SSO experience and ultimately empowering organisations to securely use Canva with their preferred identity providers.

Internal enablement: Enable other teams to help themselves, their stakeholders and, ultimately end customers through collaboration with CHT and User Growth, helping them to support their customers' needs.

Better in-product guidance: Collaborating with the Design Systems team to develop patterns for actionable error messages and user guidance (e.g. 40x pages, empty states, warnings, nudges) for relevant settings pages across all devices.

End-to-end account experience: Creating a delightful experience for end users where no single owner can be identified but can be addressed timely, including, improving error states (UX/UI & Content Design), educating users about profile-related issues through guided empty states and timely messaging, shaping concepts that help progress backend-driven conversations forward to front-end solutions.
