Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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.

About Visual Content
About Visual Content
Canva’s in-house Visual Content team is on a mission to empower our users around the world by providing them with world-class, inspirational Templates and Elements that help them achieve their creative goals. 

We work from concept to creation on high quality, globally relevant, trend-setting creative across Canva’s product ecosystem (Presentations, Docs, Whiteboards, Social Media, Websites, Print, to name but a few!), Brand Partnerships, Seasonal and Cultural Campaigns, Education, and Diversity Initiatives.

Visual Content is responsible for setting the overall Creative Strategy and Direction for the content that sits within Canva’s library, entrusted with holding our content and its creators to the highest of standards. Our job is to ensure that our library provides end-to-end content solutions that enable our users, whether they be Professionals, Educators, or first-time Designers, with the tools they need to create beautiful designs. 

Our team partners with many stakeholders across the Canva organization, including Product, Marketing, and Search & Recommendations to devise, design, and deliver creative content that showcases the very best of Canva’s products and services.

About the Role
Sitting within the Visual Content group, the Senior Creative for our Motion Elements Team provides creative vision, direction, and brief ideas for the Strategic Pillar you’ll be assigned to work on. You will work closely with the Motion Creative Lead to ensure that all the motion briefs we’ll be developing and collections we’ll be producing are of top quality and make sure that all the craft specialists are supported. 

You’ll be championing our craft on a team-wide level and responsible for educating our Strategic Leads about our processes and Product Team Leads on all the feasible and innovative ways of utilizing our elements in their products.

You are required to work with both Canva and Lottie engineers to develop new ways of integrating Lottie into our library and streamlining our processes to go with it. Lottie knowledge is an integral part of your role, as you’ll be constantly encountering backend and frontend issues during pre-prod and production phases and continuously troubleshooting and providing craft-based solutions and insight to our craft specialists.

We move fast here at Canva, and this role will certainly keep you on your toes. We are looking for someone who loves to get stuff done. You’re who we want to work with if you can balance your brilliant creative streak with ruthless prioritization that moves projects rapidly along.

We believe in attracting and nurturing world-class talent with a focus on diversity, community, career development – and doing the best work of our lives.
