Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,??, 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.
As the digital designer, you will have a unique opportunity to work with data, brand, motion, product design, and engineers. You'll design top-of-the-funnel digital experiences and journeys on Canva’s website to help users discover the breadth of Canva’s paid offerings and help them find the right Canva plan all while providing the best user experience all the way through.

- Implementation - Work closely with engineers during implementation and review final deliverables with an exacting eye, ensuring that layout, images, typography and general experience are flawless and on-brand.
- Iteration - Iterate and optimise pages and user flows for conversion.
- Design at scale - keeping in mind internationalisation, CMS integration, accessibility, design system, mobile design and various technical constraints and opportunities.
About You
