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 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. Canva Print is becoming the world's one-stop shop for all design to print needs — and partnerships are the engine powering it. Every order placed through Canva Print is fulfilled by a third-party print service provider, which means this role directly shapes the customer experience, our commercial outcomes, and our ability to expand globally.
