About the Company

Our flagship Sydney campus is uniquely Canva - an extension of our Surry Hills neighbourhood. It's a thoughtfully designed space with plenty of room to collaborate, focus, and connect. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

Responsibilities

  • ● Turn creative briefs into finished AI-generated short-form videos, end to end - choosing the right tools, iterating on prompts and outputs, and hitting the quality bar on time.
  • ● Direct the 'shoot' through prompting rather than a camera, bringing real composition, lighting, colour, motion and pacing craft to every piece.
  • ● Build and maintain your own library of prompt techniques, references and workflows that raise the bar on AI-generated video and can be shared with the craft team.
  • ● Work within the quality, safety and brand standards set by the AI Photography & Videography Lead, and flag risks around realism, representation, bias or copyright as they arise.
  • ● Give structured, specific feedback on AI video tools and model outputs that feeds the team's quality governance and helps improve them.
  • ● Stay across the fast-moving AI video landscape and bring the best techniques back into Canva's workflows.

Requirements

  • ● You bring deep visual storytelling craft - composition, lighting, colour, motion and pacing - likely from art direction, creative direction or content production.
  • ● You're a hands-on, cross-platform creator with experience using generative AI video tools such as Higgsfield, Runway, Kling, CapCut, Veo, Pika or Sora.
  • ● You have strong prompt-engineering skills, a rapid iteration loop and a portfolio that demonstrates both.
  • ● You've delivered high volumes of creative content to tight deadlines without compromising quality, and you can independently manage an end-to-end production pipeline from a brief.
  • ● You have strong creative judgement and know when an AI-generated result is ready-and when it needs another pass.
  • ● You give and receive specific, craft-focused feedback, and you raise risks and blockers early rather than trying to solve everything alone.
  • ● You're genuinely energised by AI-generated content and comfortable working with ambiguity and rapidly evolving tools.
  • ● Experience creating social-first video for platforms such as TikTok, Reels or Shorts is a bonus, as is familiarity with Adobe Premiere, After Effects, basic Python or prompt tooling.

Benefits

  • ● Hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely, and to come together on campus for meaningful in-person collaboration and connection when it matters most.
