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. 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. Our mission is simple: maximise the value of every dollar spent while enabling teams to move fast and build what's next.

About the Job

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA, but we like to think that's all part of the fun. This will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, and this will likely evolve. As a Strategic Sourcing Manager in our Marketing & Business Services Sourcing team, you'll pursue the highest-impact opportunities across a broad portfolio spanning professional and consulting services, staffing & labour, BPO, payment gateways, workplace and facilities, insurance, and system integration, with occasional support into marketing categories as priorities shift.

Role & Responsibilities

  • ● You will own commercial strategy and sourcing execution across a complex portfolio of indirect spend categories, including professional and consulting services, staffing and labour, BPO, system integration, strategy and advisory engagements or related indirect categories such as Marketing.
  • ● You will roll up your sleeves through an initial groundwork phase, the first 6-12 months carry real operational volume and process clean-up, which our ZIP AI agent will increasingly absorb, freeing you to shift toward new category, more and more targeted and strategic work over time.
  • ● You will lead sophisticated negotiations with external providers, including management consultancies, outsourcing partners, professional services firms, and contingent workforce suppliers, with clear commercial positions and leverage strategies.
  • ● You will embed with senior business stakeholders to understand strategic priorities, shape supplier decisions, and provide commercial counsel before commitments are made.
  • ● You will build and maintain category strategies that connect short-term sourcing activity to long-term business objectives.

Benefits

  • ● Our 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.
  • ● We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
