Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, 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.

Where And How You Can Work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia, but with many of our Canvanauts calling the Philippines home, our office in Manila is a buzzing place. This role is encouraged to be on a hybrid setup so we've created an environment that truly empowers you to thrive.

What You’d Be Doing In This Role

In this role, you’ll be the driving force behind content delivery, leading a team of writers based in Manila. You’ll streamline content workflows, maintain high content quality, and ensure users and support specialists get the right information at the right time, in the right place.

The Content Operations team plays a critical role in making help content easy to find, AI-ready, and actionable—so users can quickly self-serve answers, and our Customer Happiness Team (CHT) specialists can confidently support them. Whether it’s through Help Center articles, AI-powered chatbots, an internal knowledge base, or pre-written email and chat responses, Content Operations ensures that support content is clear, consistent, and scalable across all channels.

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.
