Hey, hello, hiya, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,, 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

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 on, but this will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Building Canva's enterprise reputation: You'll drive the comms engine that keeps Canva's enterprise story visible and moving — building media relationships across business and trade press, running proactive pitch programs, and finding the angles that make our AI innovation, security investments, and growing platform footprint land with the audiences that matter most.

• Bringing customer success stories to life: You'll identify and amplify new deals and customer success across media, owned, social, and executive channels, creating a steady drumbeat of proof points that showcase Canva's growing enterprise momentum.

• Reaching key business audiences: You'll execute communications programs for priority enterprise audiences — including IT and Sales leaders — developing customer stories, trend narratives, and targeted pitches that position Canva at the centre of the conversations shaping how modern organisations work.

• Elevating executive thought leadership: You'll bring thought leadership programs to life for Canva's enterprise and B2B leadership bench, drafting bylines, social content, Q&As, and pitches that turn their expertise and perspectives into compelling external content.

• Supporting enterprise launches and announcements: You'll develop and execute communications strategies for major enterprise product launches, partnerships, customer announcements, and business milestones, ensuring Canva's enterprise momentum is visible to customers, media, and the broader market.

You're probably a match if you have:

• Extensive experience in B2B or enterprise communications, with a track record of elevating brands, translating product and business momentum into compelling stories, and securing coverage in top-tier business and technology media.

• A deep understanding of the enterprise technology landscape, with the ability to craft compelling narratives that resonate with business decision-makers, industry influencers, and mainstream media alike.

• Experience building thought leadership platforms and communications programs for specific industries, professions, or business audiences, with a track record of creating narratives that resonate with marketers, sales leaders, HR teams, and other decision-makers.

• 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.
