Head of Content

Responsibilities

• ● 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. 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, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
• ● What You'd Be Doing In This Role
• ● Our library of 165M+ templates and elements powers design for 260 million people every month, and it's the part of the product where AI is changing things fastest. As Head of Content, you'll be setting the vision, standards and investment thesis for how Canva creates, curates and scales content for the next five years.
• ● At The Moment, This Role Is Focused On
• ● Leading the entire content production function, spanning in-house creation, content strategy and insights, partnerships, and our acquired brands Pixabay and Pexels.
• ● Owning and articulating Canva's long-term content strategy, with a clear point of view on how AI reshapes creation, curation and scale, and why great human creativity becomes more valuable in that world, not less
• ● Owning a truly local content strategy that resonates with audiences in every major market
• ● Setting one operating model with the International and Marketing teams so global and local content teams plan and ship together
• ● Representing content in executive and leadership forums, presenting strategy, results and investment cases
• ● You're probably a match if
• ● You've led a multi-team function through other senior leaders and driven real strategic change in a fast-paced environment
• ● You have deep expertise in content strategy, creation and execution at scale, including social and short-form content ecosystems, and you know how to make content genuinely resonate with local audiences, not just translate it
• ● You have a real, forward-looking point of view on how AI is reshaping content, and the judgment to turn that into initiatives that actually ship
• ● You combine creative judgment with commercial rigour: you can build the ROI case and connect content directly to engagement, retention and revenue. P&L or function-level budget ownership is a plus
• ● You're confident and credible in the most senior forums, and you know how to get things done through partner teams you don't own
