Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
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
This role can be based in Sydney, Los Angeles, or San Francisco. Our hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely, and to come together on campus for meaningful collaboration and connection when it matters most. We trust our team to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
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. This will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working, but this will likely evolve.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
- Leading technical launches and announcements: You'll lead communications for major research publications, engineering milestones, developer programs, ecosystem announcements, and Canva's research blog, owning the narrative, media strategy, and cross-functional rollout to bring Canva's technical innovation to life for external audiences.
- Building influence across the AI ecosystem: You'll build and maintain relationships with leading technology and science journalists, research-focused publications, AI influencers, creators, and industry voices, ensuring Canva plays an active role in the conversations shaping the future of AI and technology.
- Building thought leadership platforms for technical leaders: You'll manage communications for Canva's engineering, AI, and research leaders, helping them build influence across the technology industry through media engagement, speaking opportunities, and industry.
- Driving research and technical storytelling: You'll work closely with researchers, engineers, and technical leaders to surface breakthrough work, turning complex innovations into stories that elevate Canva's profile across media, industry, and developer communities.
- Leading internal communications for the engineering organisation: You'll help bring Canva's engineering story to life internally, partnering with leaders on key communications that keep teams informed, connected, and inspired as we continue to scale.
You're probably a match if you have:
- Extensive experience in technology, AI, developer, or research communications, with a track record of translating complex technical concepts into compelling stories that resonate with both specialist and mainstream audiences.
- A deep understanding of the AI, engineering, and developer landscape, including the researchers, companies, publications, conferences, and communities shaping the field, with the ability to communicate frontier research credibly and compellingly.
- Exceptional writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to craft compelling communications across a range of formats and audiences, from media pitches and press releases to spokesperson briefings, executive communications, reactive statements, and internal updates.
- Experience partnering with senior leaders and spokespeople to prepare for media engagements, keynote presentations, customer events, and thought leadership opportunities.
- Experience operating in fast-moving environments, taking ownership of complex work from strategy through execution, and bringing clarity to ambiguous situations.
About the team
The companies that define categories are the ones that clearly show the world what the future could look like, and bring others along with them. Our Global Communications function exists to shape how we're understood globally, across customers, employees, investors, regulators, and the media.
Our team partners across the business to translate what we're building into clear, compelling narratives that build momentum, strengthen our reputation, and accelerate our growth. Operating across more than a dozen countries, we ensure Canva is represented with clarity, consistency, and impact on a global stage.
