Hey, 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
Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth 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. 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.
We are looking for a Design Educator to join our team and produce effective educational content for our Core Product and NFP (nonprofit) audience. They will be responsible for creating content across a variety of media that showcases the ease and value of Canva so that we can empower everyone to design.
This role will support various content outputs, such as in-app learning activities, playbooks, how-to videos, email and landing page content. This role would also act as a trainer and facilitator for virtual and in person learning as required for events. Their time will be split between product-focused content that is relevant to all Canva users, and specific initiatives targeted to NFP (nonprofits).
The successful candidate will be an all-rounder, with the ability to craft creative and engaging learning content, the ability to facilitate and train, as well as having great time management skills and a can-do attitude. Experience working with nonprofits is highly desirable.
