About the Company

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. Our flagship campus is in Sydney, with a campus in Melbourne. The Content Studio team within the Global Content & Discovery supergroup is on a mission to empower the world to design.

About the Role

This role will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start - but it will likely evolve. We're looking for a Visual Designer (Video). A designer who understands social media culture, video trends, storytelling patterns, and is familiar with platforms like TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. But unlike a traditional social-media content creator, this role focuses on designing content for Canva users: Templates, video formats, motion graphics, hooks, trend-based layouts, storytelling sequences, and creative assets that users can customise and publish on their own channels.

Responsibilities

  • ● Designing short-form video templates, storytelling structures, and trend-based content for users
  • ● Translating cultural and platform trends into usable, customisable creative assets
  • ● Building sequences, hooks, transitions, and story arcs that reflect real platform behaviours
  • ● Collaborating with Content Studio, Product, and Editing/Video teams to maintain alignment
  • ● Delivering content at pace while balancing craft, consistency, and scalability
  • ● Participating in trend reviews, content forecasting, and creative reviews
  • ● Contributing to experimentation across motion, video editing, and AI-assisted content creation

Requirements

  • ● Familiar with social media platforms and the types of content that resonate with audiences
  • ● Able to convert platform trends into templates usable by millions of non-experts
  • ● Skilled in video editing, motion design, mobile-first storytelling, and creative pacing
  • ● Curious about creator culture and the evolving role of short-form video
  • ● Collaborative, iterative, and comfortable with rapid creative production
  • ● Motivated by empowering people to express their ideas through social content

Benefits

  • ● Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
  • ● Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
  • ● An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
  • ● Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
