• Understanding the Canva user lifecycle. You'll establish close relationships with our passionate community of educators and learners to know first-hand what they need to become successful Canva users.
• Identifying trends and usage patterns. You'll utilize data analysis to inform future product and marketing plans.
• Driving retention and engagement. You'll continuously test, learn, and iterate on our lifecycle strategy at our identified districts to build meaningful and impactful relationships.

You're probably a match if
