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. Where and how you can work Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth, Auckland and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you. 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.

Create and refine documentation to guide teams through the release process, ensuring clarity and consistency. Coordinate and synchronize feature launches across multiple teams (product, engineering, marketing, and user feedback) to ensure smooth and successful major events. Facilitate effective communication and collaboration between departments to address and resolve issues promptly. Monitor the performance of each release and ensure alignment with Canva’s key strategies. Drive continuous improvement of release processes and tooling based on retrospectives and feedback from stakeholders.
