Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Kamusta, 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, Australia, but with many of our Canvanauts calling the Philippines home, our office in Manila is a buzzing place. Whether your role needs you in the office, at home or a bit of both, we've created an environment that truly empowers you to thrive.

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.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Hire game-changing talent: Own end-to-end recruitment and bring exceptional people into Canva who raise the bar and shape the future of our teams.

• Build powerful talent pipelines: Proactively source and engage top talent globally, turning hard-to-find candidates into enthusiastic Canva advocates.

• Be a true hiring partner: Collaborate closely with leaders to deeply understand their goals and design smart, effective hiring strategies that deliver results.

• Champion an unforgettable candidate experience: Guide candidates through every step of the journey, ensuring they feel inspired, informed, and excited about Canva.

• Drive smarter hiring decisions with data: Use insights and metrics to continuously improve processes, optimise outcomes, and help teams hire better and faster.

• Raise the bar on inclusive hiring: Actively embed diversity and inclusion into sourcing strategies and hiring decisions to build stronger, more representative teams.

You're probably a match if

• You bring proven, hands-on experience owning hiring from end to end. From role scoping and workforce planning conversations to sourcing, interviewing, offer negotiation, and closing, you take full accountability for delivering strong hiring outcomes — across your home market and, ideally, across multiple countries in the region.

• You proactively build and nurture talent pipelines. You don’t wait for inbound applicants — you market map, headhunt, and engage passive talent early so the right candidates are ready when the business needs them.

• You generate market intelligence. You leverage multiple platforms, communities, talent data tools, and AI-powered sourcing solutions to uncover insights on talent availability, compensation trends, and competitor movements.

• You turn data into hiring strategy. You use market insights, funnel metrics, and hiring data to advise stakeholders, influence decisions, and shape realistic, high-impact hiring plans.

• You operate as a confident talent partner. You’re commercially curious, comfortable challenging assumptions, and trusted to guide leaders toward better hiring outcomes — not just execute requests.

• You’re motivated by building high-impact teams. You measure success not by roles filled, but by the long-term performance and cultural contribution of the people you hire.
