Join The Team Redefining How The World Experiences Design.

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

Job Description

Where and how you can work

Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we've made our way from down under, to a hub in San Francisco, which is now home to our US operations. We offer flexibility in how and where you work. We trust our Canvanauts 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. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

Owning TikTok end-to-end – leading everything from content strategy and ideation to creation, publishing, engagement, and ongoing optimisation.
Creating bold, native content – making videos that feel right at home on TikTok, resonate with current culture, and reflect Canva’s tone of voice and values.
Collaborating with creators – partnering with our in-house content team, community members, and influencers to bring your ideas to life.
Moving fast and learning faster – jumping on trends, testing new formats, and quickly iterating based on what’s working with your audience.
Staying close to the community – actively tuning into comments, conversations, and creators shaping culture on the platform.
Reporting and reflecting – tracking performance, sharing key insights, and evolving your approach based on results.
Thinking big when it counts – contributing to larger-scale campaigns, partnerships, and brand activations with the broader team.

You're probably a match if

You are a platform-native creative – you instinctively understand how different platforms work, how users behave, and what makes content land, especially on TikTok.
You are a maker at heart – you don’t wait to brief; you shoot, write, edit, and post if it means getting something great out the door fast.
You are obsessed with social – you scroll with intention, study what works, and naturally spot what’s trending and what’s tired.
You are comfortable in a lean, high-trust team – you value autonomy, make confident calls, and own your output from start to finish.
You are a sharp collaborator – you know when to jam with others and when to take the lead and run with a vision.
You are passionate about local culture and community – you create content that feels timely, relevant, and real for a U.S. audience.

About The Team

We’re looking for a social-first creative strategist to own and operate Canva’s TikTok.

This is a hybrid role for someone who blends content craft with platform expertise, and who’s just as confident ideating as they are publishing, engaging, and iterating. You’ll be the creative lead, strategist, and voice of TikTok - working alongside an in-house team of content creators to bring Canva’s brand to life in bold, human, and native ways.
